【原文·外刊阅读】Newborn great white shark possibly seen in the wild for the first time（文章来源：New Scientist新科学家）A newborn great white shark may have been spotted in the wild for the first time. Although great whites are found in seas and oceans around the world, very little is known about where and how they give birth.Wildlife film-maker Carlos Gauna and Phillip Sternes from the University of California, Riverside, were filming with a drone off Santa Barbara on California’s coast when they saw a 1.5-metre-long, entirely white shark. This caught their eye, not just because it was much smaller than adult great white sharks that are up to three times longer, but because these sharks are normally grey on top, despite their name, and white underneath.The pair had previously seen large, possibly pregnant great whites in the area sink into the depths for long periods, and they noticed that this young shark was shedding something from its skin as it swam. They realised that it was probably a pup born nearby still shedding its embryonic layer – something has never been observed before. Gauna hopes that the sighting will tell us more about the life cycle of the great white. It is generally believed that they give birth in deeper water, but this observation calls that into question.“Because most of the scientific community believed filming a newborn so close to shore wasn’t likely, I didn’t expect to find anything. But as I always tell people, if you don’t look, you will never know,” says Gauna. “Thepiece of the puzzle this footage provides does have the potential to change the direction of where we should be looking.”“Capturing the actual birth is the holy grail of shark science. What I filmed is simply a clue that gets us closer to it,” he says. “Because of the limitations of filming underwater [and] the unpredictability of the event, it’s a tall order to capture the actual birth.”Charles Underwood at Birkbeck, University of London, says only three or four great white sharks under a year old have previously been found in the wild – they are few enough that researchers have nicknamed them all.“Weirdly, we know very, very little about them. As soon as something goes into deep water, we really know nothing,” says Underwood. “They’re elusive, relative to our abilities to look through the sea.”Gauna and Sternes say one sighting isn’t enough to put an end to the mystery, and more work needs to be done to determine if their sighting was typical. But if we discover that coastal waters are important for the life cycle of great whites, politicians should move to protect these areas to ensure the sharks’ safety, they say.【原创·阅读理解】1.What caught the attention of the wildlife film-makers off the coast of Santa Barbara?A.

But what enables the mountain to store all that energy is plain in an aerial photo. The summit plateau is occupied by a large lake that hangs high above the Tennessee River, so close it looks like it might fall in.Almost half a century ago, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TV A), the region’s federally owned electric utility, built the lake and blasted out the cavern as well as a 329-meter-tall shaft that links the two. “It was quite an effort to drill down into this mountain, because of the amount of rock that’s here,” senior manager Holli Hess says dryly. The cavern holds a candy-colored powerhouse, filled with cherry-red electrical ducts and vents and beams in a pale grape. Four giant cylinders, painted bright green and yellow, are the key machines: Each one houses a turbine that becomes a pump when it spins the other way, and a generator that is also an electric motor.At night, when demand for electricity is low but TVA’s nuclear reactors are still humming, TVA banks the excess, storing it as gravitational potential energy in the summit lake. The pumps draw water from the Tennessee and shoot it straight up the 10-meter-wide shaft at a rate that would fill an Olympic pool in less than 6 seconds. During the day, when demand for electricity peaks, water drains back down the shaft and spins the turbines, generating 1700 megawatts of electricity—the output of a large power plant, enough to power 1 million homes. The lake stores enough water and thus enough energy to do that for 20 hours.Pumped storage hydropower, as this technology is called, is not new. Some 40 U.S. plants and hundreds around the world are in operation. Most, like Raccoon Mountain, have been pumping for decades.But the climate crisis is sparking a fresh surge of interest. Shifting the electric grid away from coal and gas will require not only a lot more solar panels and wind turbines, but also a lot more capacity to store theirintermittent output—to keep electricity reliable when the Sun doesn’t shine and winds are calm. Giant versions of the lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles are also being deployed on the grid, but they’re too expensive to do the job alone. Dozens of new technologies, including different battery designs, are at various points on the road from lab bench to commercialization.Pumped storage, however, has already arrived; it supplies more than 90% of existing grid storage. China, the world leader in renewable energy, also leads in pumped storage, with 66 new plants under construction, according to Global Energy Monitor. When the giant Fengning plant near Beijing switches on its final two turbines this year, it will become the world’s largest, both in terms of power, with 12 turbines that can generate 3600 megawatts, and energy storage, with nearly 40,000 megawatt-hours in its upper reservoir.【原创·阅读理解】1.What is the primary purpose of the machines hidden in Raccoon Mountain?A. To generate electricity.B. To extract minerals.C. To pump water into the lake.D. To create a large cavern.2.What is the function of the large lake on the summit plateau of Raccoon Mountain?A. To provide water for the Tennessee River.B. To cool the machinery inside the mountain.C. To serve as an Olympic-size swimming pool.D. To store gravitational potential energy.3.What sets pumped storage hydropower apart from giant lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles for grid storage?A. Pumped storage is more expensive.B. Pumped storage uses turbines and generators.C. Lithium-ion batteries are not suitable for grid storage.D. Lithium-ion batteries are more environmentally friendly.4.What is the main purpose of the pumps mentioned in the article in relation to Raccoon Mountain's energy storage process?A. To drain water from the Tennessee River.B. To fill the lake with water during the day.C. To generate electricity during the night.D. To propel water up the shaft for energy storage.【拓展阅读】The AI weather forecaster arrivesFor nearly as long as the modern computer has existed, it has been used to forecast the weather. First deployed during World War II to simulate nuclear weapons and artillery trajectories, nascent computers were soon adopted by meteorologists to simulate the future state of the atmosphere, creating the modern discipline of numerical weather prediction. And although that discipline has grown ever more sophisticated and now produces reliable forecasts several weeks in advance, its approach has remained the same: using massive amounts of computing power to solve the fluid dynamics equations governing the atmosphere.Over the past year, artificial intelligence (AI) has begun to change that. Tech companies including Google, Huawei, and Nvidia have trained AI models to predict the weather up to 10 days in advance, with an accuracy rivaling or even topping traditional models—and with far less computational overhead. Rather than solving equations, these “deep learning” models predict the near future based on patterns learned through training on 40 years of past weather, as captured by observations fed through the numerical model of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the world’s top forecaster. Once trained, the models can spit out a forecast on a desktop in 1 minute rather than taking 2 hours to run on a supercomputer. But as with most AI, no one truly knows what patterns they’re learning.ECMWF has already begun to produce its own AI forecast, and other weather agencies are scrambling to catch up. The new models aren’t perfect. They struggle to predict certain essential features—hurricane intensity, for example. But researchers expect AI forecasters will only improve as they begin to learn from direct weather observations collected by sensors, not just data already passed through existing models. And their speed will likely allow forecasters to run them many times over, capturing the full spread of uncertainty that results from butterfly effects in the atmosphere.No one expects traditional numerical weather prediction to disappear; climate models, for example, rely on the same equation-solving paradigm. AI may struggle to take over these forecasts because its models simulate changes in a future that may not resemble the training data of the past.But in the long term, the output of supercomputer-driven climate models could itself become training data for a climate forecasting AI—which might ultimately outstrip its mentors.参考译文：AI天气预报员登场几乎与现代计算机诞生同时，它就被用于天气预报。

专题强化练(五)——阅读理解之主旨大意题(限时25分钟)对应学生用书(单独成册)第113页A(2020·郑州第二次质检)Something strange has been happening to me lately: Women in the street have been telling me I'm brave.My act of courage isn't much—I just stopped coloring my hair.I had brown hair that started going gray when I was 30.So，like a lot of women，I started dyeing(染)it.It was expensive and timeconsuming.And my hair grows fast，so I needed to go back to the hair salon(美发厅)every 5 weeks.Many people seem to enjoy holding onto their youth for as long as possible，giving others the impression that they don't have much wisdom or many accomplishments.But our hair starts to turn gray and suddenly we start spending $500 or more a year to cover something our male colleagues don't need to cover.Of course，people should do what they want to do with their own body—my mother is 91 and still has“blonde” hair，and why not？I just wish more of us would feel that it is OK to be ourselves，because going gray has done more for me than saving me time and money.I like my natural hair，just as it is.I like how it has got curly again.It is recovering after years of being damaged by chemicals.I also like that it has given me some needed attitude in a society that makes youth seem so important，while being against maturity.It reminds me that I'm not a kid anymore and this isn't a bad thing.Not being a kid anymore means I read the books I want，and not the books I feel I should read.It means not wasting my time at events I don't need to attend when I'd rather be with my family and friends.When I see my hair in the mirror，it's a reminder that my time is limited，and I should spend it doing what matters.There's nothing shameful about growing older.And pretending it's not happening is a way of giving up our power.I see my gray hair as a little act of rebellion(反叛)against the idea that people lose value as they age，instead of gaining it.I see gray hair as my “flag” and I'm letting it fly proudly.[语篇解读] 在文章开头，作者叙述了自己虽然头发变白但不再染发，从而受到别人的好评的经历，接着表达了自己对变老的看法。

Applicants to Wowee Magazine are expected to be sociable and enthusiastic．CWhy should mankind explore space？Why should money，time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits？Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth？These are questions that，understandably，are very often asked．Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings．What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains，and on into all possible areas and environments？The wider the spread of a species，the better its chance of survival．Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible．Nearly every successful civilization has explored，because by doing so，any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for．Without knowledge，we may be completely destroyed by the danger．With knowledge，we can lessen its effects．Exploration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found．Even if we have no immediate need of them，they will perhaps be useful later．Resources may be more than physical possessions．Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration．The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives ．We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction，in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems．Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technological developments in the space industry!While many resources are spent on what seems a small return，the exploration of space allows creative，brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us．While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works，it also holds dangers．The danger exists，but knowledge can help human beings to survive．Without the ability to reach out across space，the chance to save ourselves might not exist．While Earth is the only planet known to support life，surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets．It is true that the lifestyle would be different，but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future．8.Why does the author mention the questions？______A. To express his doubts．B. To compare different ideas．C. To introduce points for discussion．D. To describe the conditions on Earth．9.What is the reason for exploring space based on？______A. Humans are nature born to do so．B. Humans have the tendency to fight．C. Humans may find new sources of food．D. Humans don't like to stay in the same place．10.The underlined word "spin-offs" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ______ ．A. survival chancesB. unexpected benefitsC. potential resourcesD. physical possessions11.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage？______A. Space exploration has created many wonders．B. Space exploration provides the best value for money．C. Space exploration can benefit science and technology．D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth．DA new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to "read" human personalities.The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated artificial intelligence algorithms (算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience."Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality," wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team follows 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determines their personality traits (特点) with "well-established questionnaires" for determining personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their Al algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person's major personality traits, such as "neuroticism, extraversion (外向)，agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as perceptual curiosity", the scientists wrote."The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high-tech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines," Loetscher said."People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today's robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non-verbal information," Loetscher said in a statement quoted by Indian Express. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals."The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain's Daily Mail newspaper.12.What do the underlined words "peer into" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Understand.B. Stare at.C. Search for.D. Concern about.13.How did the researchers conduct the research?A. It was carried out in a lab.B. 42 subjects' eye movements were recorded.C. The students' daily movements were tracked.D. Its subjects' personalities were determined by computer.14.According to Tobias Loetscher, what can we know?A. Robots and computers are socially conscious.B. People care less about improved, personalized services.C. Today's robots and computers can accustom to non-verbal information.D. The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines.15.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Human Personality TraitsB. What Human Eye Movements AreC. Tell Personalities by Eye MovementsD. How Humans and Machines Interact二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共50.0分）If you're going abroad for college，you might be thinking about how to get yourself a safe and cozy home for the years ahead．Of course，dormitories are always a good place to start．but some large state colleges require juniors to live off campus due to the limited number of dorm rooms．(1) ．How to find a house (2) ．If you are just a freshman or don't know many people，don't hesitate to approach some upperclassmen in your classes or clubs．More often than not，upperclassmen have more experience with renting and are more familiar with the area your school is in．Another good idea is to talk to seniors who are currently living off- campus．These seniors' landlords will most likely be looking for new tenants （房客）after graduation．Also，registered realtors（房地产经纪人）might be able to find you a place for a fee．In addition，Facebook groups can also provide some useful information．(3) ．RoommatesHaving roommates can not only save us some money，but also give us valuablecom-panionship．However，remember that finding the right roommates for you is the most important thing，other than safety concerns．(4) ，definitely do not lie about your preferences，schedule，or habits，even if talking about them could make you uncomfortable．On the other side，also remember to ask your potential roommates to tell you about themselves in detail．(5) ，please do everybody a favor by being upfront about it．Constantly running into conflicts with your quiet roommate is definitely the last thing you want．A．If you are a party animalB．While looking for roommatesC．Get along well with your roommatesD．When having a chat with your roommateE．First，you can ask your friends who are already living off campusF．However，be really careful if you get in touch with strangers through the internet G．Nonetheless，renting an apartment can give you some hands-on experience with living16.

短文介绍了科幻大师阿西莫夫和他的预言的准确性以及他是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。
1．解析：由“American author Isaac Asimov (1920—1992), one of the great science fiction writers of his age, had such a talent.____1__Now that we're here, let's see what he got right.”可知，美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫(1920—1992)是他那个时代最伟大的科幻作家之一，他有这样一种天赋。
以及后文“让我们看看他预测对了什么”可推知，空格处在本段中起承上启下的作用。
故C选项“早在1983年，他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什么样子”承上启下。
故C选项切题。
答案：C2．解析：由“Asimov thought computers would cause a revolution comparable to the industrial revolution of the 19th century”可知，阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场与19世纪工业革命相当的革命，根据第一段可知，下面是讲阿西莫夫预测的结果，故D选项“关于计算机在未来将所扮演的角色。
他惊人准确地预测了”是说明他预测的计算机的结果，与本段内容符合，故D选项切题。
答案：D3．解析：由“He also had a great deal to say about space exploration”可知，关于太空探索，他也预测了。
所以空格处要接着说他预言的结果。
故G选项“国际空间站证明了他的预言，我们不仅要拜访太空，还要设法留在那里”与太空探索相关，且是预测结果。
故G选项切题。
答案：G4．解析：由“He read the newspapers and magazines sold in his parents' candy store”可知，他读了父母糖果店出售的报纸和杂志。
所以空格处要与下一句一起来说明阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。
故A选项“作为一个聪明的孩子，阿西莫夫在五岁时就开始自学”承上启下。
故A选项切题。
答案：A5．解析：由“Asimov had his finger on the pulse(脉搏) of both scientific and social change.He had a clear vision of what was coming around the corner for humanity in his works like the Galactic Empire series(《银河帝国系列》)．‘His predictions are absolutely fascinating，’ Calum Chase, an English writer, told BBC News.‘He was a genius.’”(阿西莫夫将手指放在科学和社会变革的脉搏上。
他在《银河帝国》系列等作品中清楚地呈现了人类即将面临的困境。
英国作家卡鲁姆·蔡斯对英国广播公司说：“他是个天才。
”)可知，本段主要在说作为一名作家，他的书以科技引起的社会变革为主题，故F选项“作为一名作家，他的书以科技引起的社会变革为主题”是本段主题句。
故F选项切题。
答案：FPassage 2(2019·河南新乡高三质量检测)Why Stand in Line on Black Friday?Standing in line is a pain.At the post office.At the box office.At a restaurant.__1__The first spot outside some Best Buy stores is usually claimed (认领) weeks in advance, often by a person in a tent.Shoppers at Walmart will print out maps of the store, with circles around their primary targets.__2__“These queues are quite different than the usual annoying ones we come across day to day at the ATM or in the subway，”said Richard Larson, a professor at MIT who has spent years studying line behavior.“Once a year，”he said, “the lines are exciting.They're thekind you might tell your gran dchildren about.” ____3__ Billie LeClere, 45, was first in line on Thursday at Walmart in Manchester, Iowa.She said she was a regular Black Friday shopper.But this year, she came with a specific purpose: to get a good deal on a new TV.She and her husband had recently separated, and he had taken the old TV earlier that day.“The marriage died, not the TV，”she said.__4__ “It's going to be nice to have something that's newer－and it's mine, not his.”__5__ The following are two of the typical results.The “gotta have it” atmosphere makes people more anxious.Sometimes the behaviour of the queue turns violent.Therefore，lines test patience，personal space especially on Black Friday, when the crowds can be overwhelming (势不可挡的)．A．Shoppers are excited to buy gifts.B．But on Black Friday, it's an experience.C．Moreover, the crowds are queuing for good deals.D．Many families are queuing to chat with each other.E．The experience gave her a sense of accomplishment.F．They are trying to turn the experience into an adventure.G．The behaviour of people in lines has inspired decades of research.【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。
