必修三 Unit 1 高考拆组训练 阅读理解组块专练——练速度 ‎(限时：30分钟)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2019·杭州模拟)Experts believe that the best time to teach kids language skills is when they are babies.Most time the task is easily accomplished with parents reading or talking to their babies.However, in some cases that is not possible due to busy work schedules or when kids are born deaf.Now, an adorable blueeyed robot, a human avatar, and some hightech neuroscience may be able to assist parents with this important developmental task.‎ The Robot AVatar thermalEnhanced system, or RAVE, is the brainchild of a team of researchers led by LauraAnn Petitto, an educational neuroscientist, at Washington, D．C.'s Gallaudet University.The learning process begins when the robot's camera, ‎ which is focused on the baby's face, detects tiny changes in his/her body temperature.This, combined with the baby's facial expression, causes the robot to turn its head and guide the baby's attention to a computer screen, on which a human avatar starts to communicate with the baby, much like a parent would.For example, if the baby points towards the screen, the avatar might respond, “Are you pointing to me？” and follow that up with a nursery rhyme, fairy tale, or some essential social communication, all in American Sign Language (ASL)．The “conversation” continues until the kid loses interest.‎ The researchers, who have been testing the system for three years, found that babies as young as 6 to 8 months old began to move their hands in a rhythm similar to ASL after interacting with RAVE for just a few minutes.Petitto says natural language, whether communicated through speech or sign, activates the same parts of the brain and believes the rhythmic motions prove the babies are learning the essential elements of communication.‎ What sets this technique apart from other methods, such as showing educational videos or television shows, is its interactive nature and realtime response to the baby's actions.The researchers say that while it is too early to determine the system's longterm influence on baby communication, the initial response has been very encouraging.Next, they plan to introduce an avatar that can both sign and speak to babies.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇科普说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以帮助父母教婴儿学习语言的系统，以及该系统的工作原理、效果评价和研究人员对这种技术的前景展望。‎ ‎1．What can the RAVE system help parents do?‎ A．Improve babies' health condition.‎ B．Take good care of babies.‎ C．Develop babies' language skills.‎ D．Keep babies company.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，专家认为教孩子语言技能的最佳时间是孩子的婴儿时期；结合第一段最后一句以及第二段第一句可知， RAVE系统可以帮助父母完成教婴儿学习语言的任务，故C项正确。‎ ‎2．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?‎ A．How babies learn ASL effectively.‎ B．How parents educate their babies.‎ C．How robots talk and read to babies.‎ D．How the RAVE system works.‎ 解析：选D　段落大意题。根据第二段第二、第三句“The learning process ...much like a parent would.”可知，机器人的摄像头可以检测到婴儿细微的体温变化并与婴儿的面部表情相结合，使机器人转动头部，引导婴儿注意电脑屏幕，在电脑屏幕上，一个人类的形象开始与婴儿交流，就像父母一样；结合全段内容可知，该段主要介绍了RAVE系统的工作原理，故D项正确。‎ ‎3．What indicates babies are learning with the help of the RAVE system?‎ A．Interest in videos and TV shows.‎ B．Changes in their body temperature.‎ C．Improvement in their natural language.‎ D．Hand movements in a rhythm like ASL.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“babies as young ...a few minutes”可知，在和这种系统交流互动之后，婴儿就会开始以类似于ASL的节奏晃动他们的手，故D项正确。‎ ‎4．What do the researchers think of the RAVE system?‎ A．Promising. B．Impractical.‎ C．Satisfactory. D．Disappointing.‎ 解析：选A　观点态度题。根据最后一段中的第二、第三句“The researchers say ...can both sign and speak to babies.”可知，尽管对这种系统培养婴儿交流技能的长期影响进行评价为时过早，但是其初期的表现令人鼓舞。研究人员将在下一步推出可以用手语和口语与婴儿交流的形象。据此可知，研究人员对这种系统的发展是充满着希望的，A项意为“有前途的，有希望的”，符合语境，故A项正确。‎ B Following the crowd may not always be in a person's best interest.But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.‎ Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.That's true for both teens and adults.The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health.‎ So they followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13.They interviewed each one every year for five years, and also spoke to these teens' closest friends, who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27.This time, the questions surveyed each person's overall health.When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen's behavior and adult health.Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults.Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to close friends also influenced later health.Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults.The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight, family income and drug use were all examined.So were mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression.And in these people, such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did.　‎ Getting along with the crowd may have benefits, says Allen, but there are also drawbacks.Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work.And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs.Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge, Allen acknowledges.“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn't lose heart for not finding this easy.” And, he adds, “Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.”‎ 语篇解读：研究表明，与朋友较少或者没有朋友的青少年相比，有朋友的青少年在长大后更健康。当然，与朋友相处也有坏处。‎ ‎5．Where can you probably read this passage?‎ A．Science fiction. B．Health column.‎ C．Fashion magazine. D．Entertainment newspaper.‎ 解析：选B　文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍青少年时的友谊对青少年成年后健康的影响。据此可知，本文属于健康知识类文章，故可判断，本文可能选自“健康专栏”，故B项正确。‎ ‎6．We can learn from Allen's study that ________.‎ A．many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendships B．mental health issues have nothing to do with adult health C．the same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27‎ D．the teens who couldn't express themselves grew up to be unhealthier 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Whether teens held back ...sick as adults.”‎ 可知，青少年是否向他们的好朋友表达情感也会影响到其成年后的健康，那些压抑情感的青少年成年后很可能不健康。故D项正确。‎ ‎7．What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A．There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd.‎ B．Close friendships are the most important for people's health.‎ C．Teen friendships may help teens become healthier adults.‎ D．Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句“But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.”可知，与朋友相处的青少年在成年后会更加健康。C项意为“青少年时期的友谊会帮助青少年成为更加健康的成年人”，符合文章意思，故C项正确。‎ C The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.‎ Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering (爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into consideration.‎ ‎“In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to (屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion，” said Zhou Xing, a folklore researcher.‎ ‎“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy，” said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.‎ ‎“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with papercuttings. On New Year's Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as ‎ lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us，” said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了中国春节的一些传统习俗在逐渐消失的现象以及人们对此现象的不同观点。‎ ‎8．What Li Shunzhi said implies ________.‎ A．what people do during the festival now is different from the past B．people would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve C．people prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a rest D．the New Year holiday is just like any other day 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段的整体内容可推知，哈尔滨的一位居民所说的这段话是在感慨今昔过年的差异，故选A。‎ ‎9．What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A．Zhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.‎ B．Zhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.‎ C．Zhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.‎ D．Zhang Hui lives in the urban area.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“My family has been preparing for ...”和“On New Year's Eve, the whole family stays up to see ...”以及本段的整体内容可推知，张惠习惯和家人一起过春节，故选B。‎ ‎10．What does the whole passage show?‎ A．The Spring Festival is as lively as before.‎ B．The Spring Festival is outdated now.‎ C．The Spring Festival is losing its qualities.‎ D．The Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句“But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.”， 并结合全文的整体内容可推知，本文主要讲述了中国春节的一些传统习俗在逐渐消失这一现象，故选C。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 How to Lose the Weight Quickly You know the drill when it comes to losing weight: take in fewer calories and burn more calories.__1__ If you're trying to drop a few pounds fast, these interesting tips will make it easy for you to lose the weight quickly.‎ Eat in front of mirrors and you'll lose weight One study finds that eating in front of mirrors reduces the amount people eat by nearly ‎ onethird.Having to look yourself in the eye reflects back some of your own inner standards and goals.__2__‎ Sniff a banana or an apple when you feel hungry ‎__3__ Researchers find that the more frequently people sniff, the less hungry they are and the more weight they lose — an average of 30 pounds each.One theory is that sniffing the food tricks the brain into thinking you're actually eating it.‎ ‎__4__‎ Whether that's a floor, a couple of windows, or your car, a 150pound person will burn about four calories for every minute spent cleaning.Scrub for 30 minutes and you could work off approximately 120 calories, the same number in a halfcup of frozen yogurt.‎ Stare at the color blue There's a good reason you won't see many fastfood restaurants decorated in blue: it helps to control an appetite.So serve up dinner on blue plates, dress in blue while you eat, and cover your table with a blue tablecloth.__5__ Studies find they encourage eating.‎ A．You might feel silly, but it works.‎ B．Therefore, adjust your eating habits.‎ C．Wash something thoroughly once a week.‎ D．That's all it takes to lose as many pounds as possible.‎ E．On the contrary, avoid red, yellow, and orange in your dining areas.‎ F．In other words, it reminds you of why you're trying to lose weight in the first place.‎ G．But you also know that most diets and quick weightloss plans don't work as promised.‎ ‎1．选G　根据上文的“You know”及下文的“If you're trying to drop a few pounds fast, these interesting tips will make it easy for you to lose the weight quickly.”可推知，G项“但是，你也知道大部分的节食和快速减肥计划并不像承诺的那样有效”符合语境，所以选G项。‎ ‎2．选F　根据上文的“Having to look yourself in the eye reflects back some of your own inner standards and goals.”可推知，F项中的“why you're trying to lose weight”与上文的“goals”相对应，所以选F项。‎ ‎3．选A　根据下文的“Researchers find that the more frequently people sniff ... an average of 30 pounds each.”并结合本段小标题“Sniff a banana or an apple when you feel hungry”可推知，A项“你可能觉得(这种行为)可笑，但是它却有效”符合语境，所以选A项。‎ ‎4．选C　空处为本段的小标题，根据本段内容可知，本段主要讲述了清洗一些东西可以消耗大量的卡路里，从而有助于减肥，所以选C项作本段的小标题。‎ ‎5．选E　根据空后一句“Studies find they encourage eating.”并结合本段的小标题“Stare at the color blue”可推知，此处表示与蓝色相比，其他的颜色对食欲的影响，所以选E项。‎
