高考英语一轮复习 应用文阅读理解
一．阅读理解（共21小题）
1．（2025 重庆模拟） On Sept 12，the 2024 Ig Nobel Prizes were awarded in the US.Created in 1991 by Marc Abrahams，a writer in the US，these prizes honor scientific studies that"make people laugh，then think".Here are some winners from this year.
Not as old as you think
A healthy diet and good genes have contributed to higher life expectancy around the world.But there is also something else，such as mistakes in population data and possible pension cheat.
Saul Justin Newman from the UK found almost 80 percent of the people over 110 years old have no birth certificate.In the US，over 500 people claim to be over 110，but only seven have birth certificates.
So the number of very old people might be enlarged.Some people may even be lying about their birth for more pension.
"Side effect" of side effects
Medicine often has side effects that add to patients' discomfort.So a perfect treatment should have no side effects at all，right？
Not necessarily.A team led by Lieven Schenk in Germany did an experiment.They made two fake（假冒的） medicines.Neither could reduce pain，and the second type could cause a burning feeling in the nose.The team then asked 77 healthy volunteers to randomly take one of the medicines，after which they would receive a"dose" of pain.
The scientists found that those taking the second type of medicine reported less pain.They had felt the burning and took it as a sign of the medicine"working".The research showed that in such cases，side effects may not be a bad thing.
Plant that can"see" and imitate
In 2013，scientists discovered a strange vine called Boquila trifoliolata （勃奎拉藤）.It could change the shape of its leaves to look like other plants nearby.Jacob White in the US and Felipe Yamashita in Germany wanted to know why.They planted the vine under a shelf，and placed a plastic plant above the shelf.As the vine grew taller，only the part of it that reached over the shelf looked like the plastic plant.
Therefore，the scientists suggested that some plants could"see" what's happening around them and imitate the shapes of neighboring plants.

A.The medical technology has been recently improved.
B.Many supposed old people can't prove their real age.
C.People are living longer due to healthy diets.
D.Pension cheat is becoming the only concern.
（2）What did the experiment led by Lieven Schenk show？ 　 　
A.Side effects of medicine always make patients sense worse.
B.Patients prefer to choose medicines that have no side effects.
C.Side effects can sometimes reduce patients' perception of pain.
D.Fake medicines are better than real medicines for treating pain.
（3）What is the main purpose of the Ig Nobel Prizes？ 　 　
A.To honor funny but worth﹣reflecting scientific studies.
B.To reward scientists with groundbreaking discoveries.
C.To criticize scientific research that has no practical use.
D.To encourage young people to pursue careers in science.

13．（2024秋 嘉定区校级期末）With the fragrance industry expected to be worth an enormous ﹩92 billion by 2024，there is big money to be made from scents.As the fashion and marketing industry moves away from targeting men and women and onto a more inclusive，non﹣gendered approach，fragrance companies are doing the exact same ﹣ creating products that can be worn happily by all genders.The smells we're drawn to are inherently universal，across all genders and including all noses.With this in mind，we tested our noses against three of the brands that have made a play for gender neutrality.
Eccentric Molecules
The unique selling point of Eccentric Molecules is that it's designed to smell completely different on every wearer，reacting with our natural scents to create a unique blend.With potential for sharing with a loved one，their packaging is a practical if a little unromantic，simple bottle.
Still，upon opening their best seller "Molecule 01"，the journey begins.Upon first spray，the overwhelming scent is of alcohol，but it soon settles into a barely﹣there smell that recalls soft leather and feels surprisingly soothing on skin.
Top Scent：Molecule 01， 72 for 100 ml
Clean Reserve
Clean Reserve smells like it sounds ﹣ bright，fresh scents that would appeal to those who prefer light smell.It is also perfect for keeping in your gym or day bag to freshen up yourself.
Packaging feels weighty and luxurious ﹣ without compromising sustainability ﹣ the bottle is made from sustainability ﹣ managed fores：wood and even the alcohol is derived from corn.
Top Scent：Rain， 82 for 100 ml
Laboratory Perfumes
Packaged in chemistry﹣class bottles，this brand's latest collection is strongly inspired by Britain and its natural abundance of herbs and flowers.What results are grown﹣up，powerful scents.
Our clear favourites from the collection couldn't be more different ﹣ "Samphire" is a refreshing coastal scent mixed with rose，while "Atlas" is a strong blend of wine and tobacco，an easy signature scent for day and night with minimal reapplication needed.
Top Scent：Atlas， 65 for 100 ml
（1）The purpose of paragraph 1 is 　 　 .
A．to analyze how smells influence us

（2）The common feature of Escentric Molecules and Clean Reserve is 　 　 .
A．practical and simple packaging

Stonehenge

参考答案与试题解析
一．阅读理解（共21小题）
1．（2025 重庆模拟） On Sept 12，the 2024 Ig Nobel Prizes were awarded in the US.Created in 1991 by Marc Abrahams，a writer in the US，these prizes honor scientific studies that"make people laugh，then think".Here are some winners from this year.
Not as old as you think
A healthy diet and good genes have contributed to higher life expectancy around the world.But there is also something else，such as mistakes in population data and possible pension cheat.
Saul Justin Newman from the UK found almost 80 percent of the people over 110 years old have no birth certificate.In the US，over 500 people claim to be over 110，but only seven have birth certificates.
So the number of very old people might be enlarged.Some people may even be lying about their birth for more pension.
"Side effect" of side effects
Medicine often has side effects that add to patients' discomfort.So a perfect treatment should have no side effects at all，right？
Not necessarily.A team led by Lieven Schenk in Germany did an experiment.They made two fake（假冒的） medicines.Neither could reduce pain，and the second type could cause a burning feeling in the nose.The team then asked 77 healthy volunteers to randomly take one of the medicines，after which they would receive a"dose" of pain.
The scientists found that those taking the second type of medicine reported less pain.They had felt the burning and took it as a sign of the medicine"working".The research showed that in such cases，side effects may not be a bad thing.
Plant that can"see" and imitate
In 2013，scientists discovered a strange vine called Boquila trifoliolata （勃奎拉藤）.It could change the shape of its leaves to look like other plants nearby.Jacob White in the US and Felipe Yamashita in Germany wanted to know why.They planted the vine under a shelf，and placed a plastic plant above the shelf.As the vine grew taller，only the part of it that reached over the shelf looked like the plastic plant.
Therefore，the scientists suggested that some plants could"see" what's happening around them and imitate the shapes of neighboring plants.
（1）Why might the number of 110﹣year﹣old people be growing？ 　B　
A.The medical technology has been recently improved.
B.Many supposed old people can't prove their real age.
C.People are living longer due to healthy diets.
D.Pension cheat is becoming the only concern.
（2）What did the experiment led by Lieven Schenk show？ 　C　
A.Side effects of medicine always make patients sense worse.
B.Patients prefer to choose medicines that have no side effects.
C.Side effects can sometimes reduce patients' perception of pain.
D.Fake medicines are better than real medicines for treating pain.
（3）What is the main purpose of the Ig Nobel Prizes？ 　A　
A.To honor funny but worth﹣reflecting scientific studies.
B.To reward scientists with groundbreaking discoveries.
C.To criticize scientific research that has no practical use.
D.To encourage young people to pursue careers in science.
【答案】BCA

（2）细节理解题。根据"Side effect" of side effects部分第三段的The scientists found that those taking the second type of medicine reported less pain.They had felt the burning and took it as a sign of the medicine"working".The research showed that in such cases，side effects may not be a bad thin（科学家们发现，服用第二种药物的人报告的疼痛较少。他们感觉到了灼热感，并将其视为药物"有效"的标志。研究表明，在这种情况下，副作用可能不是一件坏事），可知Lieven Schenk领导的实验表明副作用有时会降低患者对疼痛的感知。故选C。
（3）细节理解题。根据第一段的 On Sept 12，the 2024 Ig Nobel Prizes were awarded in the US.Created in 1991 by Marc Abrahams，a writer in the US，these prizes honor scientific studies that"make people laugh，then think"（9月12日，2024年搞笑诺贝尔奖在美国颁发。该奖项由美国作家马克 亚伯拉罕于1991年创立，旨在表彰"让人发笑，然后思考"的科学研究），可知搞笑诺贝尔奖的主要目的是尊重有趣但值得反思的科学研究。故选A。

【点评】阅读理解解题步骤：首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意，因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料；其次细读题材，各个击破，掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性，对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准。
