驶汽车这项前沿科技话题,对以下方面进行了讨论:对无人驾驶汽车最大的担忧,对无人驾驶汽车未来发展的态度以及可能会出现的管理问题。通篇讨论了无人驾驶汽车的管理问题,引导考生辩证地看待问题。1.Accordingtotheauthor,attentionshou
ldbepaidtohowdriverlesscarscan_A__.A.helpdealwithtransportation-relatedproblemsB.providebetterservicest
ocustomersC.causedamagetoourenvironmentD.makesomepeoplelosejobs解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Whilemuchofthedebatesofa
rhasbeenfocusedonthesafety...policymakersalsoshouldbetalkingabouthowself-drivingvehiclescanhelpreducetrafficjams,cu
temissionsandoffermoreconvenient,affordablemobilityoptions.”可知,人们对无人驾驶汽车的关注点在于其安全性以及有助于减少交通拥堵等方面。选项A“有助于解决与交通有关的问
题”与此意思吻合。2.Asfordriverlesscars,whatistheauthor'smajorconcern?_D__A.Safety.B.Sideeffects.C.Affordability.D.Management.解析:
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Policymakersshouldstartthinkingnowabouthowtomakesuretheappearanceofdriverlessvehiclesdoesn'textendtheworstaspectsofth
ecar-controlledtransportationsystemwehavetoday.”并结合上文内容可知,作者希望政策的制定者要考虑这些无人驾驶车辆的管理,不要扩大现有汽车管理运输系统中的最糟糕的方面,与选项D提到的“(
车辆)管理”吻合,显然这是作者比较关心的。3.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“fielded”inParagraph4probablymean?_A__A.Employed.B.Replaced.C.Shared.D.Reduced.解析
:词义猜测题。根据第四段中画线词所在句的前半部分内容thefirstcommerciallyavailabledriverlesscarswillalmostcertainly并结合下句中asthepricesdropandmore
peoplebecomecomfortablewiththetechnology可知,随着价格的降低以及人们对这项技术开始应用自如,第一批上市的无人驾驶车辆会被用到“叫车服务”中。选项A“使用”符合题意。4.What
istheauthor'sattitudetothefutureofself-drivingcars?_B__A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Sympathetic.解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句“Thecarofthe
futureiscoming.Wejusthavetoplanforit.”可知,无人驾驶车辆的时代马上来到,准备好迎接它的到来吧。由此推断作者对于这种新科技持积极乐观的态度。B(2017·全国卷Ⅱ,B)IfirstmetPaulNewma

tit.Ourswasarelationshipthatdidn'tneedalotofwords.文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了与Paul的相识及与其建立友谊的原因,虽不常见面但是却因共同的信念而保持着友谊。5.Whywasthestudiounwillingtogi
vetheroletoauthoratfirst?_C__A.PaulNewmanwantedit.B.Thestudiopowersdidn'tlikehisagent.C.Hewasn'tfamousenough.D.Thedirectorrecommendedsome
oneelse.解析:考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Whenthestudiodidn'twantmeforthefilm—itwantedsomebodyaswellknownasPaul—hestoodupforme”可知,摄影
棚起初不愿意给作者角色的原因是想找一个与Paul一样著名的人物。故可知作者当时不够有名。该题选C项。6.WhydidPaulandtheauthorhavealastingfriendship?_D__A.Theywereofthesameage.B.Theywork
edinthesametheater.C.Theywerebothgoodactors.D.Theyhavesimilarcharacteristics.解析:考查推理判断。根据文章第二段中的“Wewererespectfulofcraft(技艺)andfoc
usedondiggingintothecharactersweweregoingtoplay.BothofushadthequalitiesandvirtuesthataretypicalofAmericanactors”可知,作者与Paul之所以拥有持久的友谊是因为他们有相似的
性格特征。故D项符合题意。7.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“that”inParagraph3referto?_A__A.Theirbelief.B.Theircareforchildren.C.Theirsuccess.D.Theirsupportfore
achother.解析:考查代词指代。根据第三段中的“Wesharedthebeliefthatifyou'refortunateenoughtohavesuccess,youshouldputsomethingback”可知,下文的内容是对thebelief的解释,that引
导同位语从句,解释说明thebelief的具体内容。下文提到了我们并不经常见面,但是分享这个信念把我们带到了一起。故选A项。8.Whatistheauthor'spurposeinwritingthetext?_B__A.Toshowhislov
eoffilms.B.Torememberafriend.C.Tointroduceanewmovie.D.Tosharehisactingexperience.解析:考查写作目的。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段中的“IfirstmetPaulNewmanin1968
”以及最后一段中的“Ilastsawhimafewmonthsago”可知,该篇文章的写作目的是回忆一位朋友,所以选B项。C(2017·江苏卷,B)Beforebirth,babiescantellthedifferencebetweenloudsoundsandvoices.Theycane

.betheasbadD.bejustasgood解析:考查词义猜测。根据句中的转折词But与下文提到的鸟类在胎教方面做得很出色可知选择B。10.WhatareKleindorfer'sfinding

omQueensland'slocals.D.Controlledexperimentsonwrensandotherbirds.解析:考查细节理解。根据第二、三、四段的内容,尤其是第二段中的“thebabybirdsmadethesimilarchirp
totheirmothers”,第三段的最后一句及第四段的第二句可知,Kleindorfer的发现是基于母鸟与幼鸟发出的叫声的相似性的,因此本题答案为A。11.Embryoniclearninghelpsmotherbirdstoidentif
ythebabybirdswhich_C__.A.canreceivequalitysignalsB.areinneedoftrainingC.fittheenvironmentbetterD.maketheloudestcall解析:考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第二段的最后一句和最后一段中
的“Anevolutionaryinferencecanthenbedrawn”可知,与母鸟的叫声最相似的幼鸟可以得到最多的食物,这也能说明它符合进化论的理论:适者生存,故本题答案为C。D(全国卷Ⅲ,B)OnoneofhertripstoNewYorkseve

withherfriendsatthecafé?_A__A.Twostrangersjoinedher.B.Herchildhoodfriendscamein.C.Aheavyrainruinedthedinner.D.Somepeopleheldapar
tythere.解析:考查细节理解。第三段中的“thewoman”指的是第二段中的那个陌生人,根据第三段中的“Whenherdinnerpartnershowedup,shealsopulledupachair”可知,陌生女子的晚餐伙伴也加入了她们的行列中,故有两个陌生人加入到了W
elty和朋友的晚餐中。13.Theunderlinedword“them”inParagraph6referstoWelty's_D__.A.readersB.partiesC.friendsD.stories解析:考查代词指代。
画线词所在句“Thesearethepeoplethatmakemewritethem”的主语These指的就是像那两位陌生人那样的人,换言之,这些新朋友就成了Welty笔下的写作素材,这些人就是让她写小说的人,故them指的是“小说”。14.Wh

查推理判断。根据最后两段的内容可知,Welty小说中的人物源于真实生活。E(2017年11月浙江高考)WhenIwasinfourthgrade,Iworkedpart-timeasapaperboy.Mrs.Stanleywasoneof

thor'snoseonetime?_B__A.Hewastalkingfast.B.Hewasshocked.C.Hewasinahurry.D.Hewasabsent-minded.解析:考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“herdeadh
usband”可知,Stanley先生已经去世了,可是Stanley太太却说:“Stanley先生和我今天早上去购物了。”她第一次这样说时,苏打水呛进了作者的鼻子。由此可推断出,Stanley太太的话使“我”很震惊。结合第三段父亲向“我”解释原因的内容也可以推知当时“我”是很震惊
并迷惑不解的,所以选B项。16.WhydidtheauthorsitandlistentoMrs.StanleyaccordingtoParagraph3?_B__A.Heenjoyedthedrink.B.Hewantedtobehelpful.C.Hetookthechancetor
est.D.Hetriedtopleasehisdad.解析:考查细节理解。根据第三段内容可知,“我”不理解为什么Stanley太太谈论Stanley先生时仿佛他还在世。“我”向父亲说了这件事并听从父亲的建议,静静地坐着倾听Stanley太太的诉
说,“我”希望这是有帮助的。17.Whichofthefollowingcanreplacetheunderlinedphrase“workitoutofhersystem”?_A__A.recoverfromhersadnessB.moveoutoftheneighborhood
C.turntoheroldfriendsD.speakoutaboutherpast解析:考查词义猜测。根据第二至三段内容可知,Stanley太太刚开始无法接受丈夫去世的事实,常常向“我”倾诉她去世的丈夫的事,后
来“我”接受了父亲的建议,静静地倾听她的诉说。结合第三段最后一句“Afterawhilesheseemedcontenttoleaveherhusbandoveratthecemetery(墓地)”可知,不久之后,她慢慢地接受了丈
夫去世的事实,从悲伤中恢复过来。18.Whatdoestheauthorthinkpeopleinacommunityshoulddo?_D__A.Openuptoothers.B.Dependoneachother.C.Payforothers'help.D.Ca

todoso.Sometimesit'sgoodtojustsmile,nodyourheadandlisten”可推知,在我们的社会中,人与人之间需要互相关爱,哪怕有时候仅仅是微笑、点头和倾听,这些都能

swhomightneedhelp”可知,作者刚听到电话铃响时认为不会有好事发生,猜测是哪个家人需要帮助,因此作者应是担忧的(anxious)。6.WhatdoestheauthorindicatebytheunderlinedsentenceinParagraph2?_A__A.T

.解析:考查细节理解。根据第二段可知,图书馆资金来源主要有三个:国家资金;当地政府的拨款;私人捐款。本题容易误选C项,误选原因是考生以为第二段中的“Finally,privatedonationshelptomaintainlibraries...maintainthelibra

.C.Unfavorable.D.Doubtful.解析:考查推理判断。根据第一段“Althoughtheideaof‘zeroemissionandsustainable(可持续的)development’waspromotedworldwide,mostcitiesareatalosswha
ttodoorevensomehaveobjectedtoit.ButinLiuzhou,acityinsouthernChina,attitudescouldnotbemoredifferent”可知,尽管很多城市对“可持续发展”理念不知所措甚至有些城
市反对这个理念,但是柳州市的态度与它们大为不同;结合下文介绍的柳州市引进“城市森林”的小区设计可推知,对于可持续发展,柳州市的态度是赞同的,故A项正确。14.WhyisStefanoBoeriemployedfortheLiuzhouproject?_D__A.Hevolunteeredt

第二段第二句“Heisthego-tomanforsuchprojectsthankstothesuccessofhis‘verticalforests’,tworesidential(住宅的)towers”可知,由于设计“垂直森林”的成功
,柳州市邀请StefanoBoeri设计类似的项目,故D项正确。15.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“they”referto?_B__A.Thearchitects.B.Thetw
otowers.C.Forestsinthecity.D.Theresidentsofthecity.解析:考查代词指代。根据上文可知,Boeri成功设计了“垂直森林”,两个住宅塔楼;结合该句“Completedin2014,theyremoveupto17.5tonsofs
oot(煤烟)fromtheaireachyear,andayearlateroneofthemwasnamedBestTallBuildingWorldwide.”可知,这两座住宅塔楼2014年完工,每年最多可消除17.5吨煤烟,其中一座被评为全球最佳高层建筑。由此可推知they指
代上文中的“tworesidential(住宅的)towers”,故B项正确。16.What'sthepurposeofLiuzhouproject?_D__A.Toprovidemorejobs.B.Tobringforestintoci
ty.C.Tosolvehouseshortage.D.Toimprovetheenvironment.解析:考查推理判断。根据第三段尾句“Its100speciesofplantlifeareexpectedtoabsorbalmost1
0,000tonsofcarbondioxideand57tonsofpollutantsperyear,whileatthesametimeproducing900tonsoflife-givingoxygen”可知,柳
州的这种城市设计项目中,有100种植物预计每年吸收近10000吨二氧化碳和57吨污染物,同时产生900吨氧气。结合本文最后一句可知,Boeri认为把森林引入城市是应对全球变暖的一种方式。据此可推知,柳州的城市项目旨在改善环境,故D项正确。5(2019·安徽省百所

有机框架,它仅以空气中的水分为来源,利用太阳能即可源源不断地生产出大量淡水,即使在空气中水分子稀薄的沙漠中也毫不费力。17.WhyistheArizonadesertmentionedinthesecondparagrap
h?__A__A.Tointroducewaterharvesters.B.Tostresstheimportanceofwater.C.Toexpresstheurgentneedforwaterthere.D.Toshowtheseverityofitscond
ition.解析:考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“TheArizonadesert...unlesshehadoneofOmarYaghi'snext-generationwaterharvesters”可知,作者提及亚利桑那州的沙漠是为了引出OmarYaghi的下一代吸水设备以及下文及其介绍。
故选A。18.Whatplaysavitalroleinwaterharvesters?_D__A.Solarenergy.B.Watermolecules.C.MOFs'internalsmallholes.D.Metal-organicframeworks.解析:考查细节理解。根据第三段中的
“WhatmakesitworkisaspecialmaterialcalledaMOF”可知,使吸水设备工作的是一种叫作金属有机框架的特殊材料,故金属有机框架在该设备中起了关键作用。根据第三段中的“usingonlyt
heheatofthesunasitspowersource”“whichatnormaltemperaturesattractswatermolecules(分子)ontothesurfaceofitsinterna
lsmallholes”“Warmitupandgetthewater”可知,金属有机框架在正常温度下会把水分子吸引到内部孔隙的表面,然后利用太阳能加热进而产生淡水。太阳能、水分子和MOFs内部的孔隙虽然均在文中被提及了,但三者发挥各自作用的前提都是金属有机框架的存在,故可排除A、B、C
三项。19.Whichcanexplainthephrase“clingto”underlinedinParagraph4?_C__A.Giveoff.B.Breakdown.C.Holdonto.D.Turninto.解
析:考查词义猜测。根据画线短语前的“Thesecrystalline(结晶的)groupsofmetals...canbemadeintomaterialswithanextremelyhighabsorptionability,attractingspecificmolec
ulestotheirsurfaces”可知,这些由有机分子连接在一起的金属结晶群可被制成吸收能力极高的材料,以吸引特定分子到它们的表面,即金属有机框架可以吸附各种液体和气体,故holdonto“抓紧”和画线短语clingto的意思最为接近。20
