第二期 专题03 阅读理解
(2022·黑龙江齐齐哈尔·一模)The world is getting greener, according to a new study published in Nature this week.
Chi Chen, lead author of the study, and his colleagues have been mining data collected by an orbiting NASA camera that monitors green vegetation on Earth’s surface, day by day. Even more interesting: They are able to show the exact causes of increasing or decreasing leaf cover in particular areas.
In some cold places, increase in leaf cover apparently resulted from global warming. Since the climate is becoming more and more temperate and the growing season is getting longer and longer, the plants are growing bigger and leafier there.
“One large area of Brazil lost vegetation. I personally checked the data, and that’s because of lack of rain,” Chen said.
The most striking changes, though, were the result of human decisions in China and India. Both countries have been getting a lot greener.
The greening of India, Chen says, comes from a huge expansion of irrigated agriculture. “Instead of having just crops when it’s raining, they also have a whole six months of cropping and greenness when it’s not raining,” he says. “This version of greening isn’t really so great for the environment, though. The irrigation drains groundwater, vegetation is wiped away at harvest time and the extra chemicals farmers use produce greenhouse gases.”
In China, though, about half of the new leaf cover that Chen detected appears to be the result of a massive reforestation effort. It’s a government-supported attempt to prevent disastrous dust storms that resulted from earlier deforestation. “They are really doing a good job,” Chen says. “They have a large and comprehensive tree planting program. Those trees will stay in place, capturing (捕捉) dust and also CO2, the greenhouse gas. They’ll store it in wood, roots and soil, doing their part to slow global warming.”
1.Which of the following best explains the underlined word “temperate” in paragraph 3? A.Warm. C.Cold
B.Wet. D.Dry.
2.What has led to the decrease of leaf cover in the Brazilian area?
A.Tree cutting. C.Seasonal harvest.
B.Dry weather. D.Desertification.
3.How does Chi Chen probably feel about the greening in India? A.Excited. C.Worried.
4.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A.The benefits of tree planting. C.The costs of greening in China.
B.The harm of global warming. D.The cause of greening in China. B.Puzzled. D.Annoyed.
(2022·辽宁·东北育才学校模拟预测)Recordings (录音) of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives ( 蜂窝) either recorded or real may even prevent elephants from damaging farmer’s crops.
Years ago, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might stop elephants from eating crops.
But before she asked farmers to set up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would frighten elephants away.
Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family.
From a distance, Lucy turned on the pre-recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group didn’t react to the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall ( 瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place.
Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn’t tested enough groups yet to know and she has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away. 5.What can be the title of the passage? A.Bees are the King of the Forest
B.How to Keep Elephants Away
C.Don’t Get Close to Angry Bees Away
D.Angry Bees Frighten Big Elephants
6.Why did Lucy throw a stone into a wild beehive? A.To record the sound of angry bees. B.To make a video of elephants. C.To see if elephants would run away. D.To find out more about the behavior of bees.
7.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Groups of elephants will make bees angry.. B.Waterfalls can make elephants stay in one place. C.Elephants do not go near trees with bees living in them. D.Young elephants ignore African honeybees. 8.According to the passage, Lucy ________. A.works by herself in Africa B.needs to test more elephant groups C.has stopped elephants eating crops
D.has got farmers to set up beehives on their farms
(2022·山东·烟台市教育科学研究院一模)Emerging (新兴的) economies struggled to grow through the 2010s and pessimism hangs over them now. People wonder how they will pay debts rung up during the Covid-19 pandemic and how they can grow rapidly as they did in the past.
The freshest answer is the fast-spreading digital revolution (革命). Emerging nations are adopting cutting-edge technology at a lower and lower cost, allowing them to fuel domestic demand and overcome traditional barriers to growth. Over the past decade, the number of smartphone owners has skyrocketed worldwide. The world’s emerging markets have already demonstrated the transformative effects of digital technology, which has saved the economy with old industries slowing sharply.
The digital revolution is as advanced in emerging economies as in developed ones. Among the top 30 nations by tax income from digital services as a share of GDP, 16 are in the emerging world. Since 2017, digital tax income has been growing in emerging countries at an average annual pace of 26%, compared with 11% in the developed ones.
How can it be that poorer nations are adopting digital technologies faster than the rich?
One explanation is habit and its absence. In societies with plentiful physical stores and services, customers are often comfortable with and slow to abandon the providers they have. Nations lacking in schools, hospitals and banks will jump at the first digital option that comes along and quickly bridge these gaps by establishing online services.
Since 2010, the cost of starting a business has held steady in developed countries while falling sharply in emerging countries, from 66% to just 27% of the average annual income. Businessmen can now launch businesses affordably, organizing much of what they need on a smartphone.
It’s early days, too. Tech revolutions usually last a long time. Innovations like the car and the steam engine were still transforming economies half a century later. While the pandemic is weakening globalization, the age of rapid digitization has just begun. This offers many developing economies a revolutionary new path to catching up with the living standards of the developed world.
9.Where are people more willing to accept digital services? A.In developed societies. B.In overpopulated nations.
C.In economies with poor online services. D.In countries short of basic public facilities.
10.How do businessmen in emerging countries benefit from digital technology? A.They can pay less tax. B.They make stable profits. C.They do business at lower costs. D.They enjoy a bigger share of the market.
11.Why are “the car and the steam engine” mentioned in the last paragraph? A.To prove old inventions will finally go out of style. B.To indicate digitization will have a long-term impact. C.To explain innovations will take a long time to be adopted. D.To imply developing countries will overtake developed ones. 12.What’s the best title of the text? A.The Global Economy Is Looking Up
B.Emerging Economies Struggle in the Pandemic C.Digital Tech Saves the Declining Emerging Markets
D.Digital Service Is Progressing Slowly in Rich Countries
(2022·黑龙江齐齐哈尔·一模)Directions, luggage delivery, tasty food. Those are some of the things we’ve seen robots offering at the media center of Beijing Winter Olympics. And most of the robots we’ve seen here aren't made to look human. Instead, they present a wide range of looks.
Two of the most advanced robots regularly operate in crowded space. One greets visitors, answers questions and offers to guide people through the crowds. Another one cleans the carpeted hallways of the main press center. It speaks to passersby in a woman’s voice. It seems to be speaking English. But we cannot make it out well, because it also plays joyful music while its two front brushes are clearing dust and dirt like a futuristic street-sweeper.
Don’t assume these robots work all hours just because they’re robots. They have carefully managed schedules. For example, the snack robots just go around the media center for about 15 minutes every hour—usually only between noon and 17: 00.
Another kind of robots helps out with logistics (物流) at the media center. These robots can carry up to 300 kilograms of goods, move freely along the relatively empty halls and automatically recharge themselves. They send unique codes through text messages to the receivers when the delivery has arrived. Then they can pick up the goods with the codes.
There are even COVID-fighting robots, which move around pre-programmed areas spreading chemicals. Food ordering, making and serving in the dining room are fully automatical too. Reporters from around the world can enjoy various food options here.
In short, robots are expected to play an outstanding role in the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics. But the most important goal is to reduce direct contact (接触) between people. 13.What can the robots do according to paragraph 2? A.Sing and dance at the entrance. B.Guide guests in crowded areas. C.Cook and serve in the dining room. D.Deliver goods and recharge automatically. 14.What can we know about the snack robots? A.They look like street-sweepers. B.They show up every 15 minutes. C.They cook food on site for the guests. D.They have pre-programmed schedules.
15.What is the main purpose of employing robots at the media center? A.To reduce direct human contact. B.To promote made-in-China robots. C.To meet the challenge of labor shortage. D.To test the reliability of AI technologies. 16.What is the best title for the text?
A.A Wonderful Day at 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics B.Helpful Robots at Beijing Winter Olympics Media Center C.Robots’ Important Roles at 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics D.A Unique Robot Show at Beijing Winter Olympics Media Center

(2022·河北石家庄·一模)When someone damages their backbone, the injury can leave them paralyzed (瘫痪). Now, scientists have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again, thanks to an implanted device.
The human backbone, or spine, doesn’t just help us stand up straight. Inside is the spinal cord, which carries important information between the head and the lower part of the body. This information moves around as bursts of electricity traveling between the brain and the other parts of the body. When the spinal cord is hurt, this pathway gets damaged and they can’t move their legs.
Now scientists in Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again. To help them walk again, the men had surgery. A special device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord, below their injury. This “implant” contained sixteen electrodes, which are small objects that electricity can pass through. The researchers made sure the electrodes were lined up with nerves that control the leg muscles. The scientists controlled the implants from a tablet computer.
The patient’s brains aren’t sending “walking” messages to their legs. Instead, the tablet tells the implant to send the walking messages. The researchers used computers to generate patterns of movement, like taking a step. The patient then uses the tablet to choose the pattern and the muscles move in the chosen way. Over time, the men were able to walk using a special walker with buttons to control each leg.
The solution isn’t perfect. It’s very expensive, it requires difficult surgery, and the patients can’t walk without the system. But the scientists are hopeful that in the future, this sort of technology will allow many paralyzed people to begin to walk again in just hours. 31.What's the main function of the spinal cord? A.It serves as a message carrier. C.It takes control of the muscles.
B.It helps people stand up straight. D.It produces signals for movements.
32.What is the implanted device expected to do?
A.Activate the damaged nerves. C.Test the degree of the damage. injury.
33.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.How the surgery is performed. C.How the patients walk without aid. 34.Which can be the best title of the text? A.Damaged nerves recover after surgery. B.Tablets are used in a medical treatment. C.Implant helps the paralyzed walk again. D.Scientists made a discovery on backbones.
B.Identify the position of the injury. D.Bridge the nerve gap made by the
B.How the device works on patients. D.How movement patterns are designed.
(2022·河北石家庄·一模)Bob Shahmardi was 4 years old when he developed a severe disease. Success rates with the disease were relatively low at that time, but his family was lucky to live in a community that was helpful when they didn’t have many resources and it was at that time that Make-A-Wish stepped in. Through that organization, the Shahmardi family got to enjoy a trip to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. The then 4-year-old hugged a character actor as part of a wish granted to him and his family by the organization. “It wasn’t just going on a trip. It was more about how we got through that hard time. It was fun for me, but it was lifeline for my parents. ” said Bob.
30 years later, Bob and his wife, Jill Welch, decided to turn their wedding into a fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Their wedding guests financed two wishes for local children, more being planned. Many donated generously to the cause, spending more, perhaps, than they might have if it was just to buy the couple a wedding gift like fine china or a kitchen appliance. Bob said their wedding donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation isn’t going to be “one and done”. The two plan on continuing to contribute going forward.
Gloria Crockett, president and chief executive officer of the organization, said she felt it amazing to have someone who benefited come back to pay it forward to other kids looking for wishes.
Contrary to popular belief, Gloria stressed that wishes aren’t given to critically ill children as a “last wish”, but are given as a part of the treatment process. The organization granted at least 165 wishes last year. This year Gloria hopes to grant somewhere between 199 and 299 wishes, depending on funding.
35.Which of the following helped Bob realize his wish? A.The hospital.
B.Make-A-Wish.
C.The community.
D.Disney World.
36.What made Bob’s wedding special? A.Collecting money for local kids. C.The attendance of officials.
B.Receiving expensive gifts. D.The number of the guests.

B.Non-stop.
C.Sizable.
D.Personal.
38.What did Gloria think of the wish given to Bob? A.It was a fun experience. C.It was a certain treatment.
B.It was a lifeline. D.It was a last wish.
