高考英語 考前30天沖刺押題系列 專題13 閱讀理解（版）

押題系列13、閱讀理解名師押題：預測一高考閱讀理解所選材料通常都是國外網(wǎng)站上的地道的英語文章，然后經(jīng)過命題專家整合、改編而成。文章主要介紹國內(nèi)外的文化風俗、歷史名勝、人文地理、著名人物等。預測二文章的篇幅較短，詞數(shù)多為280～330，兼顧多種體裁，通常有記敘文、說明文、議論文、應用文等，要求考生充分利用所給信息，回答文章提出的問題。通常文章難度不大，關鍵是考查考生高效處理信息的能力，還要求考生對文章有更深層次的理解。但是題目并不容易，很容易出錯。全國卷的命題逐漸向地方自主命題卷，尤其是新課標地區(qū)的試卷看齊，不斷增加詞匯量和文章長度，向新課標過渡。預測三題目設置靈活多樣，通常以細節(jié)理解題為主，推理判斷題為輔，兼顧猜測詞義、句意題及目的意圖題和主旨大意題。這種命題特點要求考生更好地了解文章中的有用信息，提高閱讀速度?？记盁嵘恚骸狙侯}1】科技說明文是高考?？嫉膬?nèi)容，應該引起高度注意。BarryBrowniswiththeMobileLifeCentreinStockholm,Sweden.Thecenterstudieshuman-computerinteraction,orHCI,especiallycommunicationsinvolvingwirelessdevices.WespoketoMrBrownbySkype.HetoldusaboutanincidentinvolvingafriendwhohadflowntoanairportintheeasternUnitedStates.ThereheborrowedaGPS-equippedcartouseduringhisstay.BarryBrown:“Andtheyjustpluggedinanaddressandthensetofftotheirdestination.And,thenitwasn’tuntiltheyweredrivingforthirtyminutesthattheyrealizedtheyhadputinadestinationbackontheWestCoastwheretheylived.Theyactuallyputtheirhomeaddressin.Soagain,theGPSiskindof“garbageingarbageout”.MrBrownsaysthisisacommonhumanerror.But,hesays,whatmakestheproblemworsehastodowithsomeoftheshortcomings,orfailures,ofGPSequipment.BarryBrown:“OneproblemwithmanyGPSunitsistheyhaveaverysmallscreenandtheyjusttellyouthenextturn.Becausetheyjustgiveyouthenextturn,sometimesthatmeansthatitisnotreallygivingyoutheoverviewthatyouwouldneedtoknowthatit’sgoingtothewrongplace.”BarryBrownformerlyservedasaprofessorwiththeUniversityofCalifornia,SanDiego.Whilethere,heworkedonaprojectwithEricLaurierfromtheUniversityofEdinburgh.ThetwomenstudiedtheeffectsofGPSdevicesondrivingbyplacingcamerasinpeople’scars.Theywroteapaperbasedontheirresearch.Itiscalled“TheNormal,NaturalTroublesofDrivingwithGPS.”BarryBrown:“Oneofthethingsthatstruckus,perhapsthemostimportantthingwasthatyouhavetoknowwhatyou’redoingwhenyouuseaGPS.Therearethesenewskillsthatpeoplehavedeveloped.TherearethesenewcompetenciesthatyouneedtohavetobeabletouseaGPSbecausetheysometimesgowrong.”2.Whatistheimplicationoftheunderlinedpart?A.GPSisjustagarbagedevice.B.GPSwillnotcorrecthumanerrors.C.GPSadjustsyourwrongdestination.D.GPSisjustassmartashumanbeings.3.WhichisNOTmentionedasaGPSshortcominginthepassage?A.Smallscreen.B.Timingofcommands.C.Outdatedmaps.D.DearcamerasGPSuses.4.Accordingtothepassage,peoplecommonlybelievethat_____.A.youhavetoknowwheretogowhenusingGPSB.youneedtohavenewcompetenciestouseGPSwellC.GPSisproperfordriverswithlittlesenseofdirectionD.GPSisfitforpeoplehavinggoodunderstandingofmaps解析定位排除。【押題2】Nap，doze，shut-eyeandsnoozeareallexpressionsweusetodescribethatmysteriousstate，sleep.Wealldoit，wecan'tgetbywithoutitandbythetimewereacholdage，mostofushavespent20yearssleeping:Yet，nobodyknowswhywedoit．Mostscientiststhinkthatbyrestingourbodies，weallowtimeforessentialmaintenance（維護）worktobedone‘Anydamagethatthereiscanbeputrightmorequicklyifenergyisn'tbeingusedupdoingotherthings‘Injuredanimalscertainlyspendmoretimeasleepthanusualwhiletheirwoundsarehealing（愈合）．Andquiteafewillnessesmakeusfeelsleepysoourbodycangetonwithcuringus．Sleepiscontrolledbycertainchemicals.Theybuildupduringtheday，eventuallyreachinglevelsthatmakeustired.Wecancontroltheeffectsofthesechemicalstosomeextent．Forexample，caffeinehelpstokeepusawakewhilealcoholandsomemedicinesmakeussleepy.Byusingelectrodes，scientistsareabletostudywhatgoesoninpeople'sheadswhiletheyaresleeping.Theyhavediscoveredthatwhenwefirstdropoffeverythingslowsdown.Theheartbeatsmoreslowlyandourbreathingbecomesshallow．Afterabout90minutesoureyesstarttotwitchandwegointowhatiscalledREMsleep．REMstandsforRapidEyeMovement，andit'sasignthatwe'vestartedtodream.Youhavedreamseverynight，evenifyoudon'trememberthem.Thereareallsortsoftheoriesaboutwhywedream.Oneisthatitgivesthebrainachancetosortouttheday'sactivities，fillingeverythingawayintherightplace.Anotheristhatthebraingetsboredwhilewe'reasleepandorganizesitsownentertainment-asortoflate-nightcinema！Alotofpeoplesaytheyhavetohaveeighthours’sleepeverynightwhileothersseemtomanageonalotless.Onethingisforsure，weallneedsomesleepandgoingwithoutitcanhavesomeverystrangeeffects.AnAmericanDJ，whostayedawakefor200hourstoraisemoneyforcharity，thoughtthingswereburstingintoflamesallaroundhimafter120hourswithoutsleep．Hesurvivedthestrangehorribleperiodoftimebutwasdepressedforthreemonthsafterwards．Humansareunusualinthewaytheysleep．Mostanimalshaveasleepduringthedayandtestshaveshownthatasiestacanbebeneficialforustoo．It'sevenbeenrecommendedthatairlinepilotsshouldhaveanapduringlongflightssothattheyaremorealert（警覺的）forthetrickybusinessoflanding.SonexttimeyounodoffafterSundaylunchinfrontoftheTV，don'tfeelembarrassedaboutit．Science，afterall，isonyourside．63．ThepassageisprobablyfromaA.labreportB.researchpaperC.sciencestoryD.druginstruction64.Whenwearesleeping，．A.ourheartbeatsmoreslowlyB.ourbodychemicalsbecomefullycontrollableC.ourbrainbeginstoshowmoviesD.ourwoundbeginstoheal65.Theunderlinedword“siesta”inthelastparagraphbutonemeansA.agoodrestB.alittledrinkC.ashortsleepD.adaydream【押題3】廣告應用文是高考閱讀理解中，最常考的體裁之一。BodyPower:Thisclassusesweightsandaerobicm
