Thirty years later and now a U. S. Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is combining science and smartphone technology to help study an endangered bird, the Atlantic coast piping plover.The piping plover is a shorebird that breeds (繁殖) along the Atlantic coast, the Great Lakes and the Great Plains. Rising sea level associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats (栖息地), threatens the species. To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data, which involves gathering information by using specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and then putting it into spreadsheets.Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1,500 km of breeding range. That equals about a third of the distance across the U. S， which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a realtime idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats.While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological Surveys webbased “iCoast Did the Coast Change？” invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by comparing birdseyeview photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policy plans for addressing climate change impacts worldwide.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了美国的地质学家将科学和智能手机技术结合起来，研制出一款app监测笛鸻栖息地的变化，从而帮助保护这种濒危动物。4What can we know about the piping plover?AIts behaviour is changing.BIts habitat is growing bigger.CIts living environment is becoming worse.DIts breeding is limited to the Atlantic coast.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段第二句可知，与气候变化有关的海平面的上升和对它们的海滩栖息地越来越多地开发威胁到了这种物种，故推断出笛鸻的生存环境日益糟糕，本题答案为C。5Why did Thieler develop iPlover?ATo study shorelines across America.BTo advance information technology.CTo find out global climate change.DTo monitor changes of piping plover habitats.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知，Thieler研制iPlover的目的是监测笛鸻栖息地的变化，故本题选D。6Which of the following benefits the piping plover?AThe camping equipment.BResearch on smartphones.CThe changeable coast.DProgress in technology.解析：选D推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容可知，免费的应用程序发行之后，科学家们的监测范围更广，并能更有效地收集数据，这些对于采取措施保护笛鸻很有好处，故技术的进步给笛鸻带来很多好处，所以本题选D。7What would be the best title of the text?AProtecting Endangered ShorebirdsBRob Thieler, a Creative ScientistCiPlover, a Tool for Training Field StaffDDifferences Between iPlover and iCoast解析：选A标题归纳题。根据文章大意可知，美国的地质学家将科学和智能手机技术结合起来，研制出一款app来监测笛鸻栖息地的变化，从而帮助保护这种濒危动物；再根据文章第二段第一句“The piping plover is a shorebird”可知，本题选A。C(2019陕西质检一)Its easy to keep your aging brain as quick as it was in college. Use a website full of brain games or download the right apps, and within 20 minutes youll be doing your part to sharpen your memory and slow the decline of your mental functions. At least thats what the companies behind this booming industry would have you believe. But is it true?Concrete proof about the benefits of brain games is hard to come by, experts say, when it comes to measurably improving aspects of mental fitness, like having a good memory. “People would really love to believe they could do something like this and make their brain better, but theres just no solid evidence，” says Randall W. Engle, a primary investigator at the Attention & Working Memory Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology.Thats not to say brain games are without benefits. Experts say these kinds of mental exercises can change your brain. The brain changes with just about everything you do, including mental training exercises. But numerous studies have shown that brain games lack what researchers call “transfer”. In other words, repeating a game over and over again teaches you how to play the game and get better at it but your brain aging wont necessarily come to a stop.“Its like, you walk through fresh snow, and you leave a trace. If you walk the same route again, the trace gets deeper and deeper，” says Ursula Staudinger, director of the Butler Columbia Aging Center at Columbia University. The fact that structural changes occur does not imply that in general this brain has become more capable. It has become more capable of doing exactly the tasks it was practicing.语篇解读：本文是一篇科普说明文。据说脑力游戏可以提高记忆力和延缓大脑功能的衰退，但是研究表明，脑力游戏仅能提高玩家对游戏技巧的掌握，并不能真正阻止大脑的老化；其作用还有待证明。8We can infer from the first paragraph that _.Abrain games improve the memoryBbrain aging actually can be quittedCpeople dont believe brain gamesDthe author doubts the effect of brain games解析：选D推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句可知，这个蓬勃发展的行业背后的公司会让人相信脑力游戏可以提高记忆力和延缓大脑功能的衰退，但作者对其真实性表示怀疑，故D项正确。9What does Engle think of the functions of brain games?AThey really make some difference.BTheir effects still need proving.CPeople like to be led by the nose.DPeople dont believe the effects.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，Randall W. Engle 认为这种游戏的功能还有待证明，故B项正确。10The underlined word in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_”Astopping the brain agingBhaving the brain workingCmaking the brain more passiveDspeeding up the brain aging解析：选A词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句可知，多次重复玩一个游戏，会让你更加熟练地操作游戏，但大脑老化并不能停止；结合画线词所在句可知，很多研究都表明脑力游戏不能使大脑停止老化，故A项正确。11Which can be the best title of the passage?AGames Stop Brain AgingBUnavoidable Brain AgingCGames Roles Need ProvingDGames Improve Your Brain解析：选C标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了能提高记忆力和延缓大脑功能衰退的脑力游戏，但是研究表明，这些游戏仅能提高玩家对游戏技巧掌握的能力，并不能真正阻止大脑的老化；游戏的作用还有待证明。据此可知，C项最适合作为本文的标题。D(2019济南模拟)Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the American International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, hightech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a childs emotional intelligence.Companies showed off their products last week at New Yorks Jacob K. Javits Convention Center.PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Durn directs the company that makes PleIQ. He showed people at the Toy Fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera. PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide to a companion character.On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo . telling him about certain things.”At the EQtainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the companys toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence，” he said. Erickson showed off a board game called “Qs Race to the Top”. He said the game got his 4yearold daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And thats the key of all this getting her feelings expressed out. Like, Hey, what does it feel like to be sad？ or What does it feel like to be happy？ ”It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise wellrounded children.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了可帮助提高孩子们情商的新玩具。12How does PleIQ instruct children to learn?ABy playing the role of a companion.BBy giving direct guidance.CBy taking photos with a camera.DBy presenting visual images.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things”可知，PleIQ是通过虚拟现实技术教孩子学习的；根据该段中的“He showed . a tablet camera”可知，这种虚拟现实技术能够展示视觉影像来教孩子，故选D项。13What can be inferred about Woobo from Paragraph 4?AIt is programmed to replace teachers.BIt may be good company for kids.CIt can get started automatically.DIt is intended to design games.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The child can communicate with Woobo . telling him about certain things”可知，孩子可以和Woobo交流并遵循Woobo给的指示，因为孩子把Woobo当成伙伴而不是告诉他做特定事情的家长或其他人，因此可以推断Woobo可以很好地陪伴孩子，故选B项。14What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys?AThey are quite easy to operate.BThey can teach children numbers.CThey help kids express themselves.DThey can show their emotions clearly.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The biggest thing is her talking.

Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a childs emotional intelligence”可知，本文介绍了可帮助提高孩子们情商的新玩具，故选A项。.阅读七选五(2019广西三市联考)Test anxiety can be a real problem if youre so stressed out over a test that you cant get past the nervousness to focus on the test questions and do your best work.Feeling ready to meet the challenge can keep test anxiety at a manageable level.Be prepared.
