阅读提速练Ⅰ阅读理解A(2019·湖北八校第一次联考)Leaders shape history and here is aselection of the most remarkable views into these public figures plusfirst-hand accounts by those with access to them.Margaret Thatcher by Charles Moore (2013)Before Moore published the first volume of his biography, there had already been a mountain of books on Thatcher．Moore’s account is different. He shows that far from being fearless, she could often be fearful without cause．The final volume will include her fall from power.Harold Wilson by Ben Pimlott (1992)Harold Wilson had become a ghostly figure when this book was published in 1992．The absence heightened a sense of mystery．Who was he? How to explain his seemingly contradictory characteristics? Pimlott solves some of the mysteries; the book is detailed until Wilson’s final phase as prime minister in 1974.Churchill by Roy Jenkins (2001)Jenkins writes as a politician as well as a historian, analyzi ng Churchill’s historic moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the Commons．Jenkins had resigned from high positions in battles over policy, and as one that changed parties, though not as frequently as Churchill did.Roy Jenkins by John Campbell (2014)Campbell calmly narrates many political and personal dramas, including Jenkins’intense relationship with Anthony Crosland when they were both students at Oxford．Campbell also addresses Jenkins’various affairs with women．Like Jenkins’ political heroes, he led many lives. Campbell is sharp in describing each of them.Diaries, Volumes One to Six by Alastair Campbell (2017)Love or hate him, Campbell remains the master of the inside story, not just because of his unusual ideas on the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown．This is an incredibly detailed book on what it’s like to live inside No．10: the cruel space of events; and the constant conflict with the media.【解题导语】本文是一篇应用文。

Ⅰ.阅读理解AStaying silent can be just as powerful as the words you mean to say, like when the act of hugging will be more comforting than saying, “Sorry for your loss.”Another time when silence is golden is when you are unsure of what to say. If you are confused about your own feelings concerning a matter, it's best to stay quiet until you are more certain because more harm can be done by revealing false or exaggerated feelings.Choose silence instead of blurting out “in–the–moment” feelings that are hurtful and not really how you feel in the grand scheme of things. When you feel the urge to say an unkind thing, take a few breaths and think of the possible consequences of your words.Silence can be your best friend during negotiations. Say your piece, then close your mouth, and let other persons come to their own conclusions. Your silence shows that one, you are confident in what you just said, and two, you respect other persons enough to hear what they have to say.Sometimes silence is the best and most timely solution because other persons are not in a position to hear what you have to say. For example, when a friend needs you to listen to her problems, but she is unable to accept your advice at that moment.Practice being silent at work when you don't have anything meaningful to contribute. Unless you can elevate the conversation by pointing out something interesting, missing, or beneficial, it's best to just observe and learn.Finally, silence is golden when you don't want to engage in a fool's argument. As some squabbles will never be resolved, one must agree to disagree.However, there will be times in your life when you will need the power of your voice, the voice within you that wants and needs to be respected and appreciated.语篇导读本文为议论文。

That's the question scientists will be asking in Lima next month, when a selection of potatoes will begin undergoing tests to determine whether they are fit to grow on Mars.NASA, the US space agency, is conducting the pioneering experiment together with Lima's International Potato Center.They will cultivate a hundred selected varieties in Mars-like conditions that could eventually pave the way for building a dome on the Red Planet for farming the vegetable. Of the selected candidates,40 are native to the Andes Mountains, conditioned to grow in different ecological zones, can stand sudden climate changes and reproduce in rocky areas. The other 60 are improved varieties, able to survive with little water and salt. They are also immune to viruses.Those that pass the tests must meet a final criterion—they must be able not only to grow well on Mars but also reproduce in large quantities. “We're almost 100 percent certain that many of the selected potatoes will pass the tests，” said Julio Valdivia Silva, a Peruvian NASA astrobiologist (太空生物学家)who is taking part in the ambitious project. The scientists plan to transport 100 kilos of soil to a lab in Lima that will simulate the complex Martian atmosphere—which contains mostly carbon dioxide—and expose it to extremeultraviolet(紫外线的) radiation. If the varieties selected for next month's experiment don't adapt to the desert soil, the researchers will introduce nutrients, which will be provided by radiation.In future years, NASA plans to build a Mars research center in the Peruvian desert. It would create a perfect copy of the Martian landscape and atmosphere for future research into space farming that could serve manned missions to Mars and other planets in the solar system.[语篇解读]本文为一篇新闻报道。

[备考资料】2020届高考英语选修8练习：Unit 2 Cloning.docx
选修8 Unit 2 CloningⅠ.阅读理解AEvery pet owner loves his pet. There is no argument here.But when we asked our readers whether they would clone their beloved animals, the responses were split almost down the middle. Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion.Clearly, from readers response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and eventual sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people s widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure.Most of the respondents who favoured the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side,however,held little hope that a clone could never truly recreate a pet,and many simply didn t wish to go against the natural law of life and death.Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More than a few respondents owned “the dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend”,“a member of the family”,“the light of my life”. They told moving stories of pets heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.Little wondered the loss is so disturbing,and the cloning is so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,”says Gary Kowalski, author of Goodbye,Friend: healing wisdom for anyone who has ever lost a pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turndeath away…It s understandable. Death is always painful. It s difficult to deal with. It s hard to accept.”But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seemed to be at the heart of this problem.1. So far as the cloning of pets is concerned,a recent survey shows that,of all pet owners,.A.a lot more of them are for itB.a lot more of them are against itC.very few of them are willing to tell their opinionsD.about half of them are for it and the other half against it2. While talking about the responses from the readers, the expression “eventual sadness of owning a pet”refers to .A.the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a petB.the high cost of owning a petC.the death of one s petD.the dangers involved in the cloning of a pet3. From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he .A.has never thought about the problem of cloningB.is in favour of the idea of cloning petsC.is going to write another book on petsD.is all against the cloning of pets4. What is the key question at the heart of the problem of cloning pets?A.Can cloning make the pain one suffers less when a pet dies?B.Can pet owners afford the cost of cloning?C.Does cloning go against the law of nature?D.How reliably does cloning produce an exact copy of one s pet?BChinese scientists recently have produced two monkeys with the same gene, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua,using the same technique that gave us Dolly the sheep. These monkeys are not actually the first primates(灵长类)to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo(胚胎) splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus(原子核) with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer(SCNT), can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming,which hadn t been tried before on primates. Still,the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys were born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers pouring water on the idea that the team s results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt. It would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal.

A (2019·江西省三校联考)A 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(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演算法) 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 followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements，then determined their personality traits with“well-established questionnaires”for determining the personality type，according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.The researchers fed the data into their AI 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 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 The 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.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一项人工智能计算机和机器人通过读人眼球的运动从而一窥人的个性的研究。
