A
A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world.They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals.The scientists were surprised by what they found.They saw that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will disappear from the earth.More than 1 million plant and animal species will die out by 2050.
The head of the research team, Christ Thomas, who is a professor of conservation biology at Leeds University, said the results of their research were frightening.More than 10% of all plants and animals will disappear from the earth.It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere.But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now, we can save many more plants and animals from disappearing.
The scientists studied some areas of the world with very rich biology.These areas were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa.Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to get cooler.In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move very long distances to get cooler, so they are in great danger of dying out.The scientists found many surprising things.For example, they found that half of the 24 species of butterfly they studied in Australia would soon disappear.
1.According to this passage, global warming can be best described as__________to many plants and animals.
A.deadly B.surprising
C.disappointing D.frightening
2.What's the purpose of the research led by Christ Thomas?
A.To protect animals and plants from global warming.
B.To call on people to control greenhouse gases.
C.To warn us of the dying out of many animals and plants.
D.To study the effect of global warming on animals and plants.
3.What can be the best title of this passage?
A.Greenhouse effect and global warming
B.Extinct animals in the world
C.A frightening discovery concerning global warming
D.Disappearance of butterflies
4.We can learn from the passage that__________.
A.about 25% of land animals and plants have disappeared from the earth
B.in about four decades more than 1 million plants and animal species will die out
C.we can do nothing to save the plants and animals
D.wildlife in flat areas can't find enough food
答案与解析
本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过一组科学家所作的报告推测在不久的将来,温室气体量的增加对动植物物种有毁灭性的影响。由于全球变暖,动植物的生存空间也在发生改变,其数量和种类也在不断减少。作者试图通过分析现状唤起人们对环境保护的意识。
1.A 推理判断题。根据文章大意可知,全球变暖带来的是动植物物种的不断减少,这种影响对动植物来说是致命的。
2.D 细节理解题。由文章第一段第二句可知这项研究的目的,即研究全球变暖对动植物的影响。
3.C 标题归纳题。纵观整篇文章可知,作者向人们展示了全球变暖对动植物物种的灭绝性危害。C项能形象地概括整篇内容,故选C。
4.B 细节理解题。通过第一段可知,在未来的50年里,将有大约25%的陆地动植物灭绝,A项时态有误;B项表述正确,in about four decades即大约40年后,即2050年左右;C项错在we can do nothing上;D项文章并未提及。
B
Half of the world's coral reefs have died in the last 30 years.Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive.
The planet's health depends on the survival of coral reefs.They are often described as underwater rainforests.In addition, the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Corals are used in medical research on treatment for diseases.They are key to local economies, as well, since the reefs attract tourists, the fishing industry, and other businesses, bringing in billions of dollars of revenue (收入).
Corals are invertebrates, or animals that lack a backbone.They live mostly in tropical waters.The corals release a substance called calcium carbonate, which forms protective skeletons around them.The skeletons grow and take on vivid colors.This is the result of the corals' symbiotic (共生的), or mutually beneficial, relationship, with algae (藻类) that live in their tissues and give them energy.
But corals are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature.A rise of just 1 to 2℃ can force the corals to drive out the algae.Then the corals' skeletons turn white in a process called “bleaching (白化)”. Corals can survive in these higher temperatures only for a few months.
The problem for the reefs increased greatly during a recent extended El Nino weather phenomenon.In 2015-2016, the longer El Nino warmed the Pacific near the equator, which led to the most widespread bleaching of coral reefs ever recorded.This bleaching event continues to create problems for the world's reefs.
In the Indian Ocean, near the islands of the Maldives, about 73% of the coral reefs suffered bleaching between March and May 2016.Areas in the central Pacific were hit the hardest—about 90% of the reefs were destroyed in the waters of the Republic of Kiribati.
And the problem is not just global warming.The reefs have also been affected by pollution, coastal development, and overfishing.
Scientists remain hopeful that it's not too late to save the reefs, and some are moving ahead on experiments to accomplish that goal.Ruth Gates, director of the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, said, “It's high time that we should start thinking outside the box.It's sort of a no-win game if we do nothing.”
5.What's the focus of Paragraph 2?
A.The vital role of coral reefs.
B.The seriousness of pollution.
C.The importance of ocean species.
D.The difficulties of protecting reefs.
6.What is the character of corals?
A.They are fish-friendly.
B.They are tropical species.
C.They depend on algae to survive.
D.They can reflect different colors.
7.What is the result of the recent El Nino?
A.Coral reefs are extinct in Kiribati.
B.The Indian Ocean suffered the most.
C.Most of the world's reefs fell victim to it.
D.It caused record-breaking coral bleaching.
8.What do Ruth Gates' words imply?
A.Reefs need to be saved urgently.
B.Saving reefs is a win-win game.
C.It is a challenging job to save reefs.
D.Reef-saving efforts have turned out to be fruitless.
答案与解析
本文是一篇说明文。珊瑚礁受到污染、过量捕捞、白化等威胁,在最近的30年里,世界上有一半的珊瑚礁已然死亡,保护珊瑚礁,迫在眉睫。
5.A 段落大意题。由第二段中的“underwater rainforests”,“ serve as barriers that protect coastlines”和“medical research on treatment for diseases”以及“key to local economies”可知,作者在这段强调了珊瑚礁的重要作用。
6.C 细节理解题。由第三段中的“This is the result of the corals' symbiotic (共生的), or mutually beneficial, relationship, with algae (藻类) that live in their tissues and give them energy.”可知,珊瑚与藻类共生互利,藻类生活在珊瑚的组织里,并为其提供能量。
7.D 细节理解题。由第五段中的“led to the most widespread bleaching of coral reefs ever recorded”和第六段的描述可知,厄尔尼诺现象使得靠近赤道的太平洋海域温度升高,这导致了有史以来最大范围的珊瑚白化。
8.A 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“It's high time that we should start thinking outside the box.It's sort of a no-win game if we do nothing.”可知,Ruth Gates认为,拯救珊瑚礁,迫在眉睫。
C
We were silently waiting on the platform in the late afternoon.There he was, my 80-year-old grandfather with his silvery hair.And there I was, a teenage girl in my jeans and T-shirt.His aged but still clear blue eyes were taking in the scene as I wondered how I was going to get through the next two days.Why did I ever agree to accompany my cranky grandpa on a train ride from New York to Georgia?
No one else wanted to be the fellow traveler since my grandfather refused to fly.In contrast, I loved to fly since I wanted to get to the destination as quickly as possible.No matter what anyone told my grandfather about the comfort and safety of flying, he refused to book a flight, saying, “It's not just the trip; it's the adventure of getting there.”
With my first step onto the train, the journey was already different from what I expected.The train was modern and filled with friendly travelers.We settled into the club car, where we could enjoy food and drinks while watching the scenery pass.Instead of listening to my music, I became a willing audience and learned family history that I had never had the time or patience to learn.With teary eyes, he told me that going to family events was hard for him since my grandmother died.It always made him think about those who were no longer with us.For the first time I felt I understood him.I gained a new appreciation for our time together.
In this fast-paced world, we often miss important moments.There is great significance in listening to elders who offer a piece of their history and experience.I may be more open to opportunities to stay with my grandpa.Life isn't just about the destination; it's about the journey.
9.What does the underlined word “cranky” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Health. B.Strange.
C.Selfless. D.Outgoing.
10.What did the author think of the journey at first?
A.It would be boring.
B.She would learn something during it.
C.It would be a chance to know about her grandpa.
D.She would enjoy the beautiful scene during it.
11.What made the author change her attitude towards staying with her grandpa?
A.Her grandpa's appreciation of her.
B.Her grandpa's missing her relatives.
C.The sad stories of her grandmother.
D.The new understanding of her grandpa.
答案与解析
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章作者通过讲述自己和爷爷坐火车的经历,说明了聆听长者讲述他们的历史和经历,意义重大。
9.B 词义猜测题。下文“No one else wanted to be the fellow traveler since my grandfather refused to fly.”意思是自从我祖父拒绝坐飞机后,没有人愿意和我们一起旅行。由此可知,“Why did I ever agree to accompany my cranky grandpa on a train ride from New York to Georgia?”的意思是我为什么要答应陪我那奇怪的爷爷从纽约坐火车去乔治亚州呢? “cranky”的意思是“奇怪的”,故选B。
10.A 推理判断题。答案定位在第一段中的“His aged but still clear blue eyes were taking in the scene as I wondered how I was going to get through the next two days.(他那双苍老但依然清澈的蓝眼睛看着眼前的情景,我不知道接下来的两天该怎么过。)”由此推断出,起初,作者认为这次旅行非常无聊,故选A。
11.D 细节理解题。答案定位在第三段中的“For the first time I felt I understood him.I gained a new appreciation for our time together.(我第一次觉得我理解了他。我对我们在一起的时间有了新的认识。)”由此可知,她对她爷爷的新认识让作者改变了她和爷爷在一起的态度,故选D。
Ⅳ.短文改错
Since I was a kid, I've considered different job I would like to do.First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked so coolly.Then, when I was in the five grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too much.When I studied chemistry high school, I reconsidered my goal or decided to be a doctor.They were two reasons for the decision.One was that I was amazing at the fact that a sick person could feel much more better after seeing a doctor.And the other is that I wanted to help people in need.
答案与解析
这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了从小到大自己的职业梦想随着求学经历不断改变的过程。
1.job→jobs 考查名词的数。“job(工作;职业)”为可数名词,用different(不同的)修饰时意思为不同种类的工
作,应该用名词的复数形式。故将job改为jobs。
2.coolly→cool 考查形容词的用法。句中的“looked(看起来……样)”为系动词,系动词后需用形容词作表语。故将coolly改为cool。
3.five→fifth 考查序数词。年级、班级是按数字顺序排列的,所以“在几年级”中的数词需要用序数词。故将five改为fifth。
4.too→very/so 考查副词。句意:在五年级的时候,因为我非常喜欢我的英语老师,所以我想变成一名老师。“so much”在句中一般表达肯定意思,可与that连用表示“如此……以至于”。而“too much”表太多,一般与to搭配,表达否定意思“太……以至于不能……”。本句话表达肯定意思,非常so much 或very much,故将too改为very/so。
5.chemistry后面加上in/at 考查介词。“在高中”需要用介词in或者at,故在high school前加in/at。
6.or→and 考查连词。句意:在高中学化学的时候,我重新考虑了自己的目标并决定变成一名医生。 “重新考虑”与“决定变成一名医生”之间是顺承关系,不是选择关系。故将or改为and。
7.They→There 考查there be句型。句意:有两个原因可以解释这个决定。句中的they在前边句中找不到指代关系,且后边句子中的one与the other是对这两个原因的解释。故将They改为There。
8.amazing→amazed 考查形容词用法。“amaze(使惊奇;使惊愕)”形容词形式有amazed(大为惊奇)与amazing(令人大为惊奇的)。本句话中主语为I,句意:病人看完医生就会感觉好很多,对此我感到惊奇,而不是我令别人惊奇。故将amazing改为amazed。
9.去掉more 考查形容词比较级。句中better为well(健康;身体好)的比较级形式,多音节的形容词或副词构成比较级用more 加形容词或副词,即more不能与better连用。故将more去掉。
10.is→was 考查一般过去时。本篇文章使用的全是一般过去时,且与最后一句并列的“one was that……”用的也是一般过去时,所以最后一句话时态应为一般过去时。讲述当时做决定时的原因。故将is改为was。

Pollution
Pollution happens when the environment is dirtied, by waste, chemicals, and other harmful substances (物质).Pollution is a problem all over the world.But it is especially bad in large cities with a lot of industries and cars.__1__
Wildfires, volcanoes, and industrial chemicals cause some air pollution.But most air pollution comes from burning fossil fuels (矿物燃料).These include coal, oil, and natural gas.The burning of fossil fuels may release harmful gases.Air pollution may cause such diseases as cancer and asthma.It also leads to polluted rain that can harm living things.__2__Finally, air pollution damages the ozone layer (臭氧层), which is important because it protects Earth against harmful rays from the sun.
Causes of water pollution are easy to see.People dump (倾倒) garbage and dirty water into rivers, lakes and oceans.Factories or cities sometimes release poisonous chemicals, and other wastes into water.These chemicals may make the groundwater unfit to drink.__3__
Littering, or throwing garbage on the ground, is a form of land pollution.Litter can destroy the habitats of plants and animals.The buildup of dangerous chemicals in the ground is another form of land pollution.The chemicals may come from farms or factories.__4__They may even harm people who eat the polluted plants and animals.
Many governments, environmental groups, and ordinary people are working to control pollution.Governments have passed laws to keep people from releasing dangerous chemicals into the environment.__5__Instead they are getting power from the sun, wind, water, and other energy sources that produce less pollution.Many communities use recycling to reduce pollution.
A.Farmers use chemicals to help crops grow.
B.This type of pollution may be seen in big cities.
C.They also can harm fish and other forms of life.
D.These chemicals can spread to plants and animals.
E.In addition, air pollution may be a cause of global warming.
F.There are three main forms of pollution: air, water, and land.
G.Some companies and people are trying to use fewer fossil fuels.

这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章通过作者为朋友介绍工作的经历,说明了作者很感激能够在澳大利亚生活,作者相信这种感激最好的证明就是向需要帮助的人提供善意的帮助。
1.who/that 考查定语从句。句意:我最近和一个年轻人成为了朋友,他刚刚移民到澳大利亚,以逃避他祖国的战争。__1__had just migrated to Australia to escape war in his homeland.是一个定语从句,先行词是a young man,关系词在从句中作主语,指人,所以填who/that。

5.suitable 考查形容词。句意:经理认为他的英语水平不适合这个职位,但我建议我的朋友应该是公司的合适人选,因为我可以培训他。该空修饰名词choice,用形容词,所以填suitable。
6.given 考查非谓语动词。句意:我相信只要给他时间学习,他就能做好这份工作。“他”和“给”之间是被动关系,用过去分词作条件状语,所以填given。
7.week's 考查名词所有格。句意:经过一周的培训,他被录用了,对自己的职位很满意。文中表示“一周的培训”,用名词所有格,所以填week's。
8.what 考查宾语从句。句意:我知道可怕的战争是如何迫使他离开祖国的,也知道他为此付出了什么代价。__8__price he had paid for doing so.是一个宾语从句,引导词在从句中作宾语,表示“付出了什么代价”,用what引导,所以填what。

(2019年高考·浙江卷)
California has lost half its big trees since the 1930s, according to a study to be published Tuesday and climate change seems to be a major factor(因素).
The number of trees larger than two feet across has declined by 50 percent on more than 46, 000 square miles of California forests, the new study finds.No area was spared or unaffected, from the foggy northern coast to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the San Gabriels above Los Angeles.In the Sierra high country, the number of big trees has fallen by more than 55 percent; in parts of southern California the decline was nearly 75 percent.
Many factors contributed to the decline, said Patrick McIntyre, an ecologist who was the lead author of the study.Woodcutters targeted big trees.Housing development pushed into the woods.Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).
But in comparing a study of California forests done in the 1920s and 1930s with another one between 2001 and 2010, McIntyre and his colleagues documented a widespread death of big trees that was evident even in wildlands protected from woodcutting or development.
The loss of big trees was greatest in areas where trees had suffered the greatest water shortage.The researchers figured out water stress with a computer model that calculated how much water trees were getting in comparison with how much they needed, taking into account such things as rainfall, air temperature, dampness of soil, and the timing of snowmelt(融雪).
Since the 1930s, McIntyre said, the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures, which cause trees to lose more water to the air, and earlier snowmelt, which reduces the water supply available to trees during the dry season.
1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The seriousness of big-tree loss in California.
B.The increasing variety of California big trees.
C.The distribution of big trees in California forests.
D.The influence of farming on big trees in California.
2.Which of the following is well-intentioned but may be bad for big trees?
A.Ecological studies of forests.
B.Banning woodcutting.
C.Limiting housing development.
D.Fire control measures.
3.What is a major cause of the water shortage according to McIntyre?
A.Inadequate snowmelt. B.A longer dry season.
C.A warmer climate. D.Dampness of the air.
4.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.California's Forests: Where Have All the Big Trees Gone
B.Cutting of Big Trees to Be Prohibited in California Soon
C.Why Are the Big Trees Important to California Forests
D.Patrick McIntyre: Grow More Big Trees in California
答案与解析
本文为说明文。一项研究表明,自20世纪30年代以来,加州已经失去了一半的大树,气候变化似乎是其主要因素。
1.A 段落大意题。在第二段中,作者用具体数据说明了大树损失在各个地区的严重程度,没有任何地区幸免或不受影响,故选A。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Aggressive wildfire control has left California forests crowded with small trees that compete with big trees for resources(资源).”可知,野火控制在控制了森林大火的同时,使得加利福尼亚的森林里挤满了小树,它们与大树争夺资源,这对大树产生了不利的影响,故选D。
3.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“the biggest factors driving up water stress in the state have been rising temperatures,..., and earlier snowmelt,...”可知,造成加州水资源短缺的最大因素是气温的上升,以及较早的融雪,故选C。
4.A 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,自20世纪30年代以来,加州已经失去了一半的大树,文章分析了引起该现象的几个主要因素。全文围绕“加州森林的大树都去哪儿了”话题展开,故选项A符合题意。
B
At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.
Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most.But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.
What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and a sign of respect for what the last speaker has said.Research in Dutch(荷兰语) and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start o feel uneasy.In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds—nearly twice as long as in Americans' meetings.
In Japan,it is recognized that the best communication is when you don't speak at all.It's already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you're repairing that failure by using words.
In the US, it may start from the history of colonial(殖民地的) America as a crossroads of many different races.When you have a complex of difference,it's hard to develop common understanding unless you talk and there's understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally devoted to developing a common life.This applies also to some extent to London.
In contrast, when there's more homogeneity,_perhaps it's easier for some kinds of silence to appear.For example, among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with.
5.Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?
A.The Dutch. B.Americans.
C.The English. D.The Japanese.
6.What might the Japanese agree with in conversation?
A.Speaking more gives the upper hand.
B.Speak out what you have in your mind.
C.Great minds think alike without words.
D.The shorter talking silence, the better.
7.What can we learn from the text?
A.A four-second silence in conversation is universal.
B.It's hand for Americans to reach a common agreement.
C.English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.
D.The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.
8.What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Similarity. B.Difference.
C.Diversity. D.Misunderstanding.
答案与解析
本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了谈话中的沉默文化。尽管交谈中出现停顿是普遍存在的,但我们对沉默的认识在不同的文化中有着巨大的差异。不同的文化中沉默时间不同,对于沉默的看法也不同。相比而言,亲密的朋友和家人之间更容易出现沉默。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most.”,第三段最后两句“Research in Dutch (荷兰语)and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy.In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds—nearly twice as long as in Americans' meetings.”可知,日本人可能在谈话中有最长沉默。故选D。
6.C 推理判断题。根据第四段首句“In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don't speak at all.”可知,在日本,一般认为最好的交流是一句话不说的时候。因此推断日本人认为“伟大的心灵,无言而思”。故选C。
7.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“For example, among your closest friends and family it's easier to sit in silence than with people you're less well acquainted with.”可知,亲密的人之间更容易出现沉默,因此我们和家人越亲密,沉默越容易出现。故选D。
8.A 词义猜测题。根据下文的举例可知,越亲密的人,越容易出现沉默,因此推断画线句句意是:相比而言,当有更多相似时,也许沉默更容易出现。故画线词意思与similarity意义相近。故选A。
Ⅳ.短文改错
Are home visits necessary when they are so many ways to communicate with the students' parent? Some people are for home visits.They thought home visits will make it easily for parents and teachers to communicate and work more closely to help students learn.Home visits will give teachers a chance to better understanding their students.Besides, others think it is a waste of the time and energy to pay home visits.If they keep on touch with the students' parents with text messages, QQ or E-mails, it will be more convenient and save a lot of time.Personally, I think home visits is positive, and teachers can educate their students effectively through home visits.
答案与解析
这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了人们对家访是否有必要进行了讨论,作者认为家访是积极的,老师可以通过家访有效地教育他们的学生。
1.they→there 考查there be句型。句意:当有这么多方法与学生家长沟通时,家访有必要吗? there be句型,表示“有……”,所以they改为there。
2.parent→parents 考查名词单复数。句意:当有这么多方法与学生家长沟通时,家访有必要吗?文中“学生家长”是复数意义,用名词复数,所以parent改为parents。
3.thought→think 考查时态。描述主语现在的状态,用一般现在时,所以thought改为think。
4.easily→easy 考查固定用法。句意:他们认为家访将使父母和老师更容易沟通,更紧密地工作,以帮助学生学
习。make it+adj.“让某人/某事……,”该用法是固定用法,所以填easily改为easy。
5.understanding→understand 考查不定式。这里不定式作定语,修饰a chance,所以understanding改为understand。
6.Besides→However 考查副词。句意:然而,其他人认为家访是浪费时间和精力。文中表示“然而……”,所以Besides改为However。
7.去掉time前the 考查固定短语。句意:然而,其他人认为家访是浪费时间和精力。a waste of time“浪费时间”,该短语是固定短语,所以去掉time前the。
8.on→in 考查固定短语。句意:如果他们用短信、QQ或电子邮件与学生家长保持联系,就会更方便,节省很多时间。keep in touch with“与……保持联系”,该短语是固定短语,所以on改为in。
9.is→are 考查主谓一致。句意:就我个人而言,我认为家访是积极的,老师可以通过家访有效地教育他们的学生。这里含有一个宾语从句,在宾语从句中,主语home visits是复数意义,谓语动词用复数,所以is改为are。
10.teachers前加that 考查宾语从句的引导词。这里含有两个宾语从句,第一个that可以省略,第二个that不能省略,所以teachers前加that。

Ⅲ.七选五
It's every parent's worst nightmare.__1__.Now scientists say they have found a better way to wake up sleeping youngsters.Researchers in the US have discovered that playing a child a recording of their mother's voice is about three times more likely to wake them than a traditional alarm.Moreover, they can escape more quickly.
Dr Gary Smith, a co-author of the research from the Nationwide Children's hospital in Ohio and his colleagues report how they compared the effects of four different smoke alarms on 176 children aged between 5 and 12 years old.__2__.While one alarm featured a high-pitched beep, the other three featured the voice of the child's mother calling either the child's name, giving instructions such as: “Wake up! Leave the room!”, or both.Each child slept in a lab-based room that resembled a real bedroom, and was shown how to escape from the room before they went to bed.They each experienced all four alarms—the order of which was chosen randomly.
__3__.About 90% of children woke for a vocal alarm compared with just over 53% for the traditional alarm.In addition, the children shook off their sleep faster, with a median(中位数) value of two seconds for the voice alarm compared with more than two and a half minutes for the traditional alarm__4__.
Prof Niamh Nic Daéid, director of the Leverhulme Research Centre at the University of Dundee, said the research supported by her team found a human voice combined with a low-frequency pulsing tone was far more effective in waking children than a traditional high-pitched alarm.__5__, which might have made them more responsive to an alarm, while more work was needed to explore whether other familiar sounds, such as a dog barking, might also prove effective in waking up children.
A.But she noted that the latest study involved children sleeping in a location other than their own bedroom
B.But she said it was important to look at developing better alarms
C.None of them had hearing difficulties or were taking any medication that affected their sleep
D.The results show that voice alarms appear to be more effective than high-pitched beeps
E.What's more, it does so faster and is linked to a quicker escape
F.There's a fire in the house; the alarms are beeping, but the children are in deep sleep
G.Similarly, escape times were longer in the cases of the beeping alarms
答案与解析
1.F 该空是对nightmare的解释。
2.C 上文提到该实验是针对“176 children aged between 5 and 12 years old”进行的,后文进一步说明这群小孩的情况。
3.D 该空是本段的主题句,说明实验的结果,从D项的results就可以得出答案。
4.G 实验结果表明:当警报是妈妈的声音时,孩子更快地从睡梦中被叫醒了,叫醒所需的时间中位数是2秒。相比之下,传统警报所需时间的中位数超过 2.5 分钟。同样,当警报是“哔哔”声时,逃跑所需的时间更长。
5.A Prof Niamh Nic Daéid说研究表明:“a human voice combined with a low-frequency pulsing tone was far more effective in waking children than a traditional high-pitched alarm”。后文是一个转折,表明她的观点。
