(英语)高三英语阅读理解易错剖析及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解You can see a sea turtle named Herman, an octopus ( 章鱼) called Octavia, and a seal named Lidia at the Smithsonian's National Zoo in Washington, D.C. Rather than real animals, they are actually artworks made out of plastic trash from the ocean.These artworks are part of a traveling exhibit called "Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea". The Washed Ashore project, led by the artist called Pozzi, works to raise awareness about plastic pollution in Earth's oceans.More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world's oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. Rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller pieces.Thousands of sea animals die each year from eating plastic bags and other things. Each year, millions more pounds of plastic end up in the ocean. A recent study found that if that continues, by 2050 the total weight of plastic will be more than that of all the fish in the ocean.The Washed Ashore project is working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 300 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 artworks of sea creatures harmed by plastic pollution."These artworks are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity (生物多样性) on land and in the sea," says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.(1)What is the purpose of the artworks shown at the Smithsonian's National Zoo?A. To let people know about animals in the ocean.B. To introduce one way of recycling plastic trash.C. To warn people of plastic pollution in the ocean.D. To show Pozzi's great gift for creating artworks.(2)According to the passage, what is the source of plastic pollution in the ocean?A. Garbage from towns and cities.B.

The larger ones stood at the ends of the table, the smaller ones on the sides. Mom and Dad sat in the big chairs, except when one of us was away; then Mom would sit in one of the smaller chairs. Dad always sat at the end, at the "head" of the table. Sitting where he did, Dad was framed by the window through which the yard could be seen with its trees and grass. His chair was not just a place for him at table; it was a place in which he was situated against the yard and the trees. It was the holy(神圣的)and protected place that was his, and ours through him.After Dad retired, he and Mom moved out into a small flat. When thy came to visit me at their old house, Dad still sat at the end of the table though the table was no longer his but mine. Only with my marriage to Barbara, did I hear a voice questioning the arrangement. She requested, gently but firmly, that I sit at the head of the table in our home. I realized then that I was head of the family, but I also felt unwilling to introduce such a change. How would I feel sitting in that "head" place in my Dad's presence? And how would he handle it? I was to find out on the occasion of our youngest child's first birthday.Mom and Dad arrived for lunch, and went into the dining room. Dad moved toward his usual seat in front of the window. Before he could get around the side of the table, I took a deep breath and said, "Dad, this is going to be your place, next to Mom, on the side." He stopped, looked at me and then sat down. I felt sad, and angry at Barbara for pushing me to do this. It would have been easy to say, "My mistake, Dad. Sit where you always sit, " But I didn't.When he and Mom were seated, Barbara and I took our places. I don't know how Dad felt. I do know that, though removed from his usual place, he continued to share his best self with us, telling stories of his childhood and youth to the delight of his grandchildren. As I served the food, our lives experienced a change, which we continue to live with.It wasn't easy, but I sense that there is also something good in the change which has occurred. I am beginning to learn that "honoring one's father" is more than the question of which place to occupy at the dining table. It also means listening, wherever we sit and whatever positions we own, to the stories Dad longs to tell. We may then, during these magical moments, even be able to forget about whose chair is whose.(1)Why did Dad always sit in the big chair at the end of the table before he retired?A.Because the chair was large enough for him.B.Because sitting there he could see the trees and grass in the yard.C.Because it was the holy seat for the head of the family.D.Because the chair was comfortable with arm rests.(2)What do we know from the second paragraph?A.The writer's parents moved out because the house was too old.B.The writer didn't want to hurt his father’s feelings.C.The writer's wife was rude to his parents.D.The writer didn't dare to refuse his wife's request.(3)Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Dad felt upset after being removed from his usual place.B.The writer was satisfied with the new seating arrangement.C.Dad continued to tell stories to cover his embarrassment.D.Dad didn't appear to mind where he sat.(4)What does the writer intend to tell us?A.Respecting Dad is more than the question of dining seat.B.It is not easy to go against parents' wishes.C.Think twice before you act.D.Every coin has two sides.【答案】(1)C(2)B(3)D(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙,通过讲述作者和父亲餐厅座位的变化告诉我们尊重父母并不在于餐厅的座位,而是快乐相处。

But Seattle writer Rosette Royale found it repellent. To Royale, the park seemed like a damp, dirty and unpleasant place. "I couldn't figure out why anyone would want to carry a 50-pound pack into the wilderness and camp there for days," he said. "It didn't make sense."Then he met Bryant Carlin, a vendor (小贩) for Real Change, the Seattle weekly sold on the street by vendors who are homeless or low-wage earners. He was also a skilled outdoorsman and a nature photographer who would take weeks-long photographic journeys to the park. The two men connected in the fall of 2011 when Royale interviewed Carlin for a feature story in Real Change about Carlin's photography.That first time they met—and for years afterward—Carlin invited Royale to go camping with him. Each time, Royale said "Thanks, but no thanks." Until one day, in the spring of 2015, Royale surprised himself by saying yes. "Little did I know," said Royale, "that saying 'yes' would change the course of my life."Royale and Carlin went on five separate journeys to the Olympic wilderness. They camped in spring, summer, fall and winter. For Royale, the trips were exhausting and terrifying. But the trips were also inspiring, and helped Royale—a black, strange man—to develop a relationship with the outdoors that he had never experienced before.For Carlin, the trips were an opportunity to throw off the label of "homeless". In Olympic National Park, sleeping outside just means you're a camper. But there was one aspect of Carlin's life in the city that he couldn't escape: alcohol abuse. While he never brought beer on their camping journeys, the effects of years of drinking weren't so easy to leave behind.(1)What does the underlined word "repellent" in paragraph 1 mean?A.Appealing.B.Puzzling.C.Rewarding.D.Disgusting.(2)According to Royale, what made his life course changed?A.His first meeting with Carlin.B.His rejection of Carlin's invitation.C.His camping trips with Carlin.D.His reading of Carlin's feature story.(3)What did the trips with Royale mean to Carlin?A.They improved his photography skills.B.They helped him feel a sense of belonging.C.They deepened his relationship with nature.D.They enabled him to get rid of alcohol addiction.【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)B【解析】【分析】文章主要讲了罗亚尔和卡林的奥林匹克国家公园露营之旅对各自产生的意义。

高三英语阅读理解易错剖析含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Scientists have been studying how people use money for long. Now they're finding some theories may apply to one group of monkeys.Researchers recently taught six monkeys how to use money. They gave the monkeys small metal disks(圆片) that could be used like cash and showed them some yummy apple pieces. The monkeys soon figured out that if they gave one of the disks to a scientist, they'd receive a piece of apple in return.If you think that is all the monkeys can figure out, you are wrong. Two researchers, Jake and Allison, acted as apple sellers in the experiments. The monkeys were tested one at a time and had 12 disks to spend in each experiment. Jake always showed the monkeys one apple piece, while Allison always showed two pieces. But that's not necessarily what they gave the monkeys. The number of apple pieces given for a disk was determined at random.Experiment One: Allison showed two pieces of apples but gave both pieces only half the time. The other half, she took one piece away and gave the monkey just the remaining piece. Jake, on the other hand, always gave exactly what he showed: one piece for each disk. The monkeys chose to trade more with Allison.Experiment Two: Allison continued to sometimes gave two pieces and sometimes one piece. But now, half the time, Jake gave the one apple piece he was showing, and half the time he added a bonus. Guess what? The monkeys chose to trade more with Jake.In the first experiment, the monkeys correctly figured out that if they traded with Allison, they'd end up with more treats. In the second one, when a monkey received two pieces from Jake, it seemed like again. When Allison gave the monkey only one piece instead of the two she showed, it seemed like a loss. The monkeys preferred trading with Jake because they'd rather take a chance of seeming to win than seeming to lose.We also sometimes make silly business decisions just to avoid the feeling that we're getting less, even when were not. Would you have made the same choices?(1)What conclusion might experts draw from the first experiment?A. The monkeys show certain business sense.B. Business theories can apply to all monkeys.C. People are smarter in terms of finance.D. It's easy to teach monkeys how to trade.(2)What does a bonus in paragraph 5 refer to?A. A metal disk.B. An apple piece.C. A chance.D. A coin.(3)Why did the monkeys choose to trade more with Jake in the second experiment?A. Because Jake always gave them two apple pieces.B. Because the apple pieces from Jake were yummy.C. Because they didn't like the feeling of losing.D. Because they get more apple pieces from Jake.(4)What could be the best title for the passage?A. People's Business Decision: Lose or Gain?B. Moneky's Business Sense: Smart or Silly?C. Shopping for Bargain: Same or different?D. Disk for Apple: Who to Trade with?【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)C(4)B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,科学家们通过实验来说明,“猴子的商业意识:聪明还是愚蠢?”(1)考查推理判断。

As we didn't always have access to a reliable car, walking hand in hand was the most convenient way to get anywhere. It was at story time for children that both my mother and I made lasting friendships.Today, I am fortunate to live around the corner from the Cold Coast Public Library in Glen Head and a short walk to the Sea Cliff Children's Library. My 18-imonth-old son, Colin, and I find ourselves in Sea Cliff several times a week, meeting and making friends. Well, that is what many people don't understand-a library is more than books; it's a community.Sure, the library in Franklin Square was the place where I was introduced to Judy Blume novels. But it was also the place where I got my first email address in 1997. At the library, friends and I learned how to research colleges and search for scholarships on the Internet. The library was the place where we sometimes giggled(咯咯笑)too loudly, and where the librarians knew us by name. Their knowing our names wasn't a bad thing. When I came home from my first term at Binghamton University, Mary LaRosa, the librarian at the Franklin Square library, offered me my first teaching job.I now teach reading at Nassau Community College. My students are often amazed that they can check out books via their smartphones and virtually(虚拟地)visit a variety of Long Island libraries. The app used by Nassau and Suffolk county public libraries, as well as the college library, makes their homework easier by helping them find resources. Even though they can't always easily visit their local libraries, the library is always with them.(1)Why does the author consider herself lucky today?A. She has become her mother's best friend.B. She has access to a reliable car now.C. She can meet friends at the library.D. She lives close to libraries.(2)What does the underlined word "that" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.

About 64 percent of the world's oil is located in the Middle East, but the heaviest consumers of oil are Europe, America, and Japan. The problem lies in getting the oil from the countries that produce it to the countries that consume it. This is mainly done using oil tankers. Usually the oil is shipped safely and with no problems, but occasionally there is a disaster.Every year millions of tons of oil are spilled into the ocean. Although this is only a small percentage of the total amount shipped around the world each year, this spilled oil can have terrible effects on ocean life, including the coastlines where the oil washes up onto shore.One of the worst oil spills in history occurred along the Alaskan coastline in 1989, when the Exxon Valdez tanker ran aground off the coast of Alaska, spilling 42 million liters of oil. Although it wasn't the largest oil spill, the disaster was terrible because it occurred in such a sensitive natural area. In this spill, the tanker's captain, who was tired from overwork and drinking alcohol, had gone to take a rest. He gave control of the ship to another sailor, who was unfamiliar with the route. The ship ran onto Bligh Reef. Damaged by the reef, the ship leaked oil out into the ocean. More than 1,600 kilometers of coastline were affected by the oil spill. Many birds and otters died as a result of the oil covering their skin, and many other sea creatures and the animals that fed on them were also severely affected.(1)Which country is NOT among the largest consumers of oil?A. JapanB. IraqC. AmericaD. Germany(2)What does the underlined “them” refer to?A. The birds.B. The otters.C. The sea creatures.D. The birds and the otters.(3)Which of the following statement is true?A. The oil leak of Alaska is because the captain was unfamiliar with the route.B. Many birds and otters died from eating the spilled oil.C. Alaska spill was the most serious spill of all time.D.

(英语)高考英语阅读理解易错剖析含解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy and quick to learn English. There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear.Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation.Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sentences. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would make it easier to use their methods.In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real.There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to and listen to when we communicate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life language.(1)Many people believe advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses probably because .A. they are encouraged by William Shakespeare or Charles DickensB. they are eager to learn and then believe themC. the ways advertised can help them to save time and effortsD. the ways advertised prove effective and helpful(2)What may behaviorists argue towards English learning?A. Human beings make more interesting noises than parrots and chimpanzees.B. Human beings should relate their speech to their own lives.C. Language is a formula with lots of repetitions and practices.D. Language is a means of communication.(3)What opinion does the author hold?A. A quick method that suits all the students does exist.B. English can be mastered within a very short period of time.C. Each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language.D. No one can learn English well without being interested in it.(4)What ways of learning is suggested by the author?A.

It navigates (定位) through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen."RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment, as the need for help is detected," said Bryan Minor, a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Currently, an estimated 50 percent of adults over the age of 85 need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly $2 trillion. With the number of adults over 85 expected to triple by 2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.RAS is the first robot researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment. They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently."While we are still in an early stage of development, our initial results with RAS have been promising," Minor said. "The next step in the research will be to test RAS' performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts, video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot."(1)How does RAS serve elderly people?A. Through sensors.B. Through objects.C. Through a mobile robot.D. Through their daily activities.(2)What can we know about RAS?A. It is the first robot used in daily life.B.

It might be in a dream, a lost letter, a memory, or something found that we'd forgotten about.My grandmother was from a town in Michigan. And summer after summer I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child. I was from the city and loved the small town where they lived. People knew everyone, their children, their pets, their ancestors.Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting …She would make sandwiches and we'd have tea parties, plant flowers and carefully tend them. She loved knitting sweaters as well as making beautiful quilts for her grandchildren. I remember the small thimble ( 顶针 ) she would place on her finger while doing her needlework.A few years ago, when Grandma left this earth for her new residence in Heaven, I bid farewell to my loving grandmother. How quickly our lives can change! We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it mostly on my birthdays, because there was no card from Grandma. She'd never forgotten my birthday!On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened and made me feel as if she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow; it was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam (缝) that I carefully opened, and, to my delight, out came a tiny silver thimble! How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her! Not realizing k had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing h into that little pillow that I just happened to fluff (抖松), to place on my bedspread (床罩) that day. I carefully laid the thimble alongside the others Id collected over the years. What a precious memory of a very special lady who, somehow, I knew, was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble into my pillow. I heated the kettle and made some tea, using my best china, as Grandma always did, and then enjoyed my tea and Grandma's thimble. What a wonderful birthday that was!(1)In the author's memory, what would her grandmother do?A. She would make sandwiches and hamburgers for her family.B. She would wear a thimble for needlework every day.C. She would make beautiful quilts for money.D.

Thanks to user-friendly products like intelligent lighting and heating controllers, people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world.While smart homes aren't new, companies like Philips, Amazon and Xiaomi have finally brought automation to everyday people with affordable products like artificial intelligence(AI) speakers and sensors.“The obvious message is that you can stop wasting energy,” Tom Kerber, director of research for U. S -based digital company Parks Associates, told The Guardian.And the technology also has more meaningful uses. In Norway, for example, one company is using smart tech to make life easier for its elderly customers. Abilia's system allows carers to check up on patients through a tablet on a wall inside their home. The device sends patients reminders about tasks, such as when they need to take medication(冥想). It can even tell carers if there's any unusual activity in the home that could be life-threatening.“This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing,” Abilia's vice president, Oystein Johnsen, told the BBC. "It also saves the government money. In Norway, it costs 1 million kroner(about 0. 8 million yuan )per year to have someone in a care home. This system costs 15,000 kroner a year.”So, for those who have already "gone smart", will it ever be possible to go back to do things in the old-fashioned way? "I think it would be difficult. When we go to a friend's house or on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things for us that we should do, "Poulson, 35, a senior program manager from Seattle.,U.

But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km (45miles) east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery(墓地) has reached full capacity.There's no more room to bury the dead, they can't be cremated(火化) and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. "They have not taken local demands into consideration", he claims.A 2003 decree(法令) by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area.Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. "I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can't die. That's ridiculous," Amarido do Prado, an unemployed resident said.The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. "Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved," said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant of the mayor. "But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?" The bill states that "offenders will be held responsible for their acts." However, it does not say what the punishment will be.(1)What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?A. Ban on building a new cemetery.B. Ban on parking in certain zones.C. Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.D. Prohibiting residents from dying early.(2)What can we infer from the phrase "have gone far beyond that" in the first paragraph?A. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations.B. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.C. The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.D. The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.(3)What's the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations? A. He gives strong backing to them. B. He objects to them.C. He remains silent about them.D. He asks the residents for advice on them.(4)Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. The bill has come into effect but it doesn't state clearly what punishements the offenders will receive.B. The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.C. The government is going to change the unreasonale and laughable decree.D. No betterresolution of the problems has been thought out.【答案】(1)D(2)C(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,由于墓地短缺,巴西城市Biritiba Mirim的官员草拟了一份不准人过早的死去的法案,这引起了当地居民的争论。

Now, the Emoji-quake campaign is lobbying for an earthquake emoji to be added to the Unicode set — the standard group of icons available on digital devices worldwide. The campaign aims to find an earthquake-appropriate design to be submitted to Unicode."Approximately up to one third of the world's population are exposed to earthquakes," explains University of Southampton seismologist (地震学家) Dr. Stephen Hicks, a founder of the campaign. "So we really want to be able to communicate to all of those regions, all of those different languages, and an emoji is an amazing way of doing that."Unlike many other weather and climate related events, where longer warning times or visible signs are available, earthquakes move incredibly quickly and are difficult to measure while they are still occurring. Populations in areas like Japan and Mexico are dependent on earthquake early warning technology, which issues an alert on digital devices and broadcast media. "You may have seconds to get under a table or to protect yourself," explains Dr. Hicks. "That can be life saving in many cases. Naturally you don't want too much wording in the warning message." Pictographs (象形文字) and other visuals like emoji have a track record of being faster and easier to understand than written information. Dr. Sara McBride, a communications specialist, who is also part of the campaign, told BBC News, "Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages, helping communicate valuable information to people who may struggle to read a certain language."The potential usefulness of emoji in emergencies could extend well beyond earthquakes. A team of designers also came up with emerji—an entire set of emoji dedicated to climate and environmental events.(1)According to the passage, why did the campaign choose earthquakes as their target?A. Because earthquakes threaten many people in different regions.B. Because earthquakes are the easiest to be expressed by an emoji.C. Because earthquakes are not difficult to measure while occurring.D. Because earthquakes are the most destructive disasters in the world.(2)Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase "lobby for" in the first paragraph?A. Hope for.B. Enter for.C. Appeal for.D. Run for.(3)What can we infer from Dr. Sara McBride's words about emoji?A. Emoji benefits people with reading disability a lot.B. Emoji is being used to convey valuable information.C. Emoji can cross the boundaries of written languages.D. Emoji is a universal language and helpful tool in communication.(4)The best title of the passage should be ___________________.A. Could an emoji save our life?B. What can emoji do in our life?C. How is emoji changing our life?D. Do we really know about emoji?【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)D(4)A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了一场以添加地震表情符号为目标的运动。

She wants to find her future husband through this way.The unnamed husband seeker who sent out the email had just finished reading the best-selling book named Lean In.

I had made great efforts to write when I came home at night after work, but I was too tired. I decided to quit my job.I began my new life on a February morning. I sat down at my kitchen table at 7:30 am and made a resolution. Every day I would write until lunchtime. Then I would lie down on the floor for 20 minutes to rest my mind. After that, I would return to work for a few more hours.In my first year, I sold two stories. Then I wrote a novel, but I thought it wasn't good enough, so I ended up putting it in a drawer. My second novel, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, was published to glowing reviews and received the National Book Critics Circle Award for fiction.My success sounds like a familiar story, but actually it was far from sudden.

My breakthrough came in 2006, 18 years after I first sat down to write at my kitchen table.Sometimes genius (天才) is just the thing that comes out after 20 years of working at your kitchen.

Martin writes each chapter from the perspective of a specific character, providing a limited point of view for each section. The reader is able to understand the inner workings of the individual, but the reader is barred from a whole understanding of the text. The world he has created has magic, but there is much more than that. While magic exists, it exists on the edge, and the inner unrest of the characters is much more important.His work also has a level of realness that is astonishing in a work of fantasy. Characters are imperfect, and many make questionable moral choices. In the end, however, Martin shows that both good and bad happen to both the people of high moral standard and the corrupt. He has made it clear that any character can die at any point, which has led to a lot of heartbreak from readers.In 2011, A Song of Ice and Fire became a television series titled Game of Thrones. Martin has been closely involved with the production. It has currently run for seven seasons, and viewers anxiously await the eighth season to answer their questions from the season seven finale.His fans are also waiting for The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, the next books in the series, to answer the questions Martin and the television show have not yet addressed. Martin, however, has no plans to rush. He has made it clear that he will continue to write the books while working on the television show and writing other novels.But how will the story continue?

【英语】高三英语阅读理解易错剖析及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解Research finds out why some people are constantly under attack from the bloodsucking insects while others walk free.For those unfortunate enough to feature highly on the mosquito hit list, summer nights can be synonymous with mosquito bites. Yet others hardly ever get bitten. So how do the bloodthirsty insects select their victims?The insects' tastes may seem arbitrary. However, research shows that when mosquitoes make their choices between potential victims, it all comes down to scent (气味).“Mosquitoes are attracted by carbon dioxide and heat, which everyone gives off. But mosquitoes are also attracted by certain scents,” says Karl-Martin Vagn Jensen, the head of research at the Department of Agricultural Science at Arhus University.According to Jensen, it has not yet been confirmed exactly what the scents in question are. But research does indicate that some scents are more attractive to mosquitoes than others.“All the lab employees rubbed petri dishes (培养皿) against their stomachs. In that way, their scents were put on the dishes, which were then put in a container full of mosquitoes,” he says. “The mosquitoes repeatedly landed on some of the petri dishes, but didn't go anywhere near the others.”Perhaps taking inspiration from popular fiction, there are also those who consider garlic as an excellent repellent (驱虫剂) against the winged bloodsuckers. According to the researcher, this strategy may not be entirely fruitless. “As far as I know, there is no scient ific proof that eating garlic works. But there may be something to the theory that it's possible to mask scent with garlic,” he says. The only reliable method of protection against mosquitoes is to use repellents that are sold over the counter. It contains some smells that can confuse the mosquitoes. When the mosquito comes closer, it uses smell, heat and carbon dioxide to decide whether to bite. But if it is confused by a repellent, it will never get that far.(1)Which of the following can best replace the phrase underlined in Paragraph 2?A. Be equal to.B. Be accessible to.C. Be harmful to.D. Be beneficial to.(2)What can we infer about the scents attracting mosquitoes?A. Mosquitoes can be attracted by various scents.B. Some kinds of scents appeal to mosquitoes in particular.C. The lab employees use petri dishes to deposit their scents.D. Mosquitoes are arbitrary when it comes to different scents.(3)What is the main idea of the last Paragraph?A. A new strategy is used in researching repellents.B. Garlic is considered to be an excellent repellent.C. Using repellents is an effective way against mosquitoes.D. The inspiration against mosquitoes is from popular fiction.(4)Where is the text most probably taken from?A. Science fiction.B. A biography.C. A medical report.D. A research paper.【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)C(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,分析了为什么有些人经常受到吸血昆虫的攻击。
(1)考查词义猜测。
根据第二段中的“For those unfortunate enough to feature highly on the mosquito hit list, summer nights can be synonymous with mosquito bites. ”对于那些不幸被蚊子叮咬的人来说,夏夜可以成为蚊子叮咬的同义词。
也就是说“夏夜等同于蚊子的叮咬”,故选A。
(2)考查推理判断。
根据第四段中的“Mosquitoes are attracted by carbon dioxide and heat, which everyone gives off. But mosquitoes are also attracted by certain scents,”可知,某些种类的气味对蚊子尤其有吸引力。
故选B。
(3)考查段落大意。
根据最后一段中的“The only reliable method of protection against mosquitoes is to use repellents that are sold over the counter. It contains some smells that can confuse the mosquitoes.”可知,使用驱虫剂是对付蚊子的有效方法。
故选C。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据第一段中的“Research finds out why some people are constantly under attack from the bloodsucking insects while others walk f ree.”可知,这篇文章最有可能来自一篇研究论文。
故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断,词义猜测和段落大意三个题型的考查,是一篇科普类阅读,要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而选出正确答案。
2.阅读理解In 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386, 000 words in the entire French Scrabble Dictionary in just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards' impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence works—real AI. Both of Richard and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potential applications for AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasks—provided the task is in one field with a lot of data—it is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobs—executives, diplomats, economists —go well beyond the AI limitation of single-field and Big Data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.Are you worried that these three types of jobs won't employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger: jobs where emotions are needed, such asteachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathy—which AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot telling them they have cancer, or a robot to babysit their children.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.(1)What is the main purpose of paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic.B. To mention Nigel's feat.C. To stress the importance of good memory.D. To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.(2)Which of the following best explains "outperform" underlined in paragraph 2?A. Be superior toB. Be inferior toC. Be similar toD. Be related to (3)Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?A. The writer.B. The shop assistant.C. The babysitter.D. The psychologist.(4)Which of the following suggestions can the author give about job replacement of AI?A. Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.B. Get more support from the government.C. Apply for the donation from companies.D. Upgrade people's professional skills all the time.【答案】(1)A(2)A(3)B(4)D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文,人工智能有取代人类工作的潜力,但是,并非所有工作都会被人工智能取代,有四种类型的工作完全没有风险。
