Passage 1
(2023安徽马鞍山二模)
I have always had pets.My first animal friends were guinea pigs.And then I tried my best to persuade my parents to get a dog.For some reason they did not seem to believe I would walk the dog three times a day,no matter how hard I tried.
Then my mother said a friend’s cat had had kittens and we could go and get one.At first I was disappointed,but with time going by,I learned to love our cat so much that I have had cats ever since.
I just have to remember to bolt everything into place.If I don’t,things fly (they seem to get airborne when cats are around—the more expensive an object is,the more it seems to enjoy flying).
Also,watering plants is no problem.During the years all the plants have disappeared except the cactuses (仙人掌).They don’t seem to interest cats much.Nor do they need much water.It would be nice to get flowers,but I do advise against anyone bringing them to me.No matter what flower—it is considered a kitty snack.
Changing furniture is nice too.Cats help in letting us know when it is time to change the sofa.Either when the fabric starts to look like Einstein’s hair that has been combed with cats’ paws (爪子),or when no amount of vacuuming (用吸尘器打扫) helps in revealing the original color of the couch,thanks to the generous donation of cat hair.A soft sofa is nice,sure,but it sort of gets a bit embarrassing when,all our guests leave the house with fur-trousers.
I could go on and on to tell you more interesting stories between us next time!

Passage 2
(2023海南海口一模)
No one in the US has 3D-printed a two-story house before.But now three companies are working together to print the first large,two-story house in the US.
The house,which is in Houston,Texas,was designed by a company.Another company provided the 3D printer.And a construction company is doing the actual building.Leslie Lok,who designed the house,says there are special challenges involved in printing the two-story house.One of the biggest is the size of the machine needed for the building.The 3D printer in Houston is massive.It weighs over 12 tons.
Ms.Lok says printing the house will take the massive machine about 330 hours.That’s about eight normal work weeks.But the team isn’t in a rush.Though it’s a two-year project,the actual printing didn’t start until last July.The house is now about halfway finished.
“We are not trying to beat the clock,” says Hikmat Zerbe,who works for the construction company.Instead,they’re using the house as a “big laboratory” to learn more about 3D-printing houses.They want to see how the concrete reacts “under different weather conditions”.
They also want to figure out how to make 3D-printing faster and cheaper.Mr.Zerbe says that currently,3D-printing a house with concrete costs more than building a house with wood.That’s partly because the technology is new.With time going by,Mr.Zerbe expects the costs of 3D-printed houses to go down.He thinks printers will improve and make it easier to create more houses quickly.3D-printed concrete houses are stronger and hold up better in serious storms than house built with wood.This can save money in the long run.Since the machine is doing the building,fewer workers are needed,which also saves money.
Besides,with 3D-printing,it’s easy to make each house different from other houses.These kinds of changes can apply to almost any tiling.Hikmat Zerbe says that means in the future,each house could be created specially for its owner.
5.What is a big problem in printing the two-story house
A.The limited time.
B.The lack of skilled workers.
C.The need for huge 3D printers.
D.The shortage of building materials.
6.What is to be studied in the building process
A.How the printed houses stand wear and tear.
B.How 3D-printed houses are made stronger.
C.How workers can print large houses quicker.
D.How concrete changes with the shift of weather.
7.What is a disadvantage of the 3D-printed house at present
A.Its cost is higher.
B.It can’t survive the storm.
C.It uses special concrete.
D.It needs experienced workers.
8.How does Mr.Zerbe feel about the future of 3D-printing
A.Negative. B.Unclear.
C.Worried. D.Hopeful.
Passage 3
(2023河北沧州二模)
Scientists have learned more about the inner workings of the Earth by studying the way waves from earthquakes travel through the planet’s center.The results suggest that the Earth’s inner core may be starting to spin more slowly than the Earth.
The Earth’s core has two parts:the outer core and the inner core.Both of these are made mainly of the metals—iron and nickel.The outer core is liquid.But the inner core is a solid ball held in this liquid almost like the yolk(蛋黄) in an egg.
Scientists suspected for a long time that the inner core might be spinning slightly differently from the way the Earth spins.
In the 1990s,two scientists,Paul Richards and Xiaodong Song,studied the inner core by looking at the waves from earthquakes that travel through the center of the Earth.They focused on groups and pairs of waves from earthquakes that naturally repeat.If the inner core was spinning exactly with the Earth,each wave of the pair should have taken the same time to pass through the Earth.Instead,some moved faster than others.This was because they were hitting different parts of the inner core as it spun.Their studies revealed that the inner core was spinning in the same direction as the Earth,but slightly faster.
Now Dr.Song and Yi Yang—another scientist who studies the Earth—say they’ve used the same method to learn that the Earth’s inner core may be starting to spin slower than the Earth.The researchers studied earthquake wave pairs from Alaska,going all the way back to 1964.They noticed that the inner core’s spin also seemed to change speed in the early 1970s.The scientists say that the inner core may have a pattern of speeding up and slowing down every 70 years or so.
Not everyone agrees.Many scientists who study the Earth say more information needed to figure out what is really going on.
9.Why is an egg mentioned in the second paragraph
A.To explain how the Earth’s core moves.
B.To show the importance of the inner core.
C.To illustrate the composition of the outer core.
D.To help picture the structure of the Earth’s core.
10.What did the scientists discover about the inner core in the 1990s
A.It sent out earthquake waves.
B.It changed speed repeatedly.
C.It moved exactly with the Earth.
D.It moved a little faster than the Earth.
11.What does the author say about the study result
A.It is accurate and reliable.
B.It excites the scientists.
C.It needs further confirmation.
D.It has caused a heated discussion.
12.What is the text
A.A science report. B.A sci-fi story.
C.A diary entry. D.A brochure.
答案:
考点分类练(五) 推理判断题(3)
Passage 1
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要分享了作者养小猫的一些趣事。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“For some reason they did not seem to believe I would walk the dog three times a day,no matter how hard I tried.”可知,作者的父母担心作者不会每天遛狗三次,也就是说,父母担心他不会好好照顾宠物狗。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据画线短语后的“If I don’t,things fly (they seem to get airborne when cats are around—the more expensive an object is,the more it seems to enjoy flying).”可知,画线句子前面的内容是说“我必须要记得……”,如果没记住做这件事,家里的一切就会“飞”起来,结合选项可知,为了防止一切不会“飞”起来,只能“把一切都固定好”符合逻辑。
3.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“No matter what flower—it is considered a kitty snack.”可知,小猫会把所有的花都当成零食,由此可推断,小猫会把这些花当零食吃掉。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I could go on and on to tell you more interesting stories between us next time!”可知,作者说下次继续讲述与小猫在一起的趣事,由此推断,本文写作的目的是分享与小猫在一起的趣事。
Passage 2
[语篇解读]本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了目前有三家公司正在合作打印美国第一个两层的大房子,而这有望成为一种趋势。
5.C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“Leslie Lok,who designed the house,says there are special challenges involved in printing the two-story house.One of the biggest is the size of the machine needed for the building.The 3D printer in Houston is massive.It weighs over 12 tons.”可知,最大的问题之一就是需要巨大的打印机。
6.D 推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知,在建房的过程中,他们想研究混凝土在“不同天气条件下”的反应。
7.A 细节理解题。根据文章第五段的“They also want to figure out how to make 3D-printing faster and cheaper.Mr.Zerbe says that currently,3D-printing a house with concrete costs more than building a house with wood.”可知,3D房屋的造价成本较高。
8.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知,Hikmat Zerbe对3D打印的未来抱有希望。
Passage 3
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。一项研究发现,地球内核的自转速度可能比地球慢,但这一发现并非所有人都认可,仍需要进一步弄清到底发生了什么。
9.D 推理判断题。根据第二段可知,本段主要介绍的是地球内核的构造,与鸡蛋的构造有相似之处,所以,此处提到鸡蛋是以此来说明地球内核构造。
10.D 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的“In the 1990s,two scientists,Paul Richards and Xiaodong Song,studied the inner core by looking at the waves from earthquakes that travel through the center of the Earth.”和“Their studies revealed that the inner core was spinning in the same direction as the Earth,but slightly faster.”可知,20世纪90年代对地球内核的研究发现,地球内核的旋转方向与地球相同,但速度略快。
11.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,研究结果并非所有人都认可,仍需要进一步弄清到底发生了什么,由此可知,这项研究需要进一步证实。
12.A 推理判断题。根据首段可知,本文讲述的是科学研究发现,地球内核可能比地球旋转得更慢,下文对此研究进行分析,由此可知,本文是一篇科学研究报告。
