湖北石首市2017高考英语一轮阅读理解编练（1）2016高考训练题。阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。the baby is just one day old and has not yet left hospital. she is quiet but alert（警觉）. twenty centimeters from her face researchers have placed a white card with two black spots on it. she stares at it carefully. a researcher removes the card and replaces it by another, this time with the spots differently spaced. as the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝视）starts to lose its focus-until a third, with three black spots, is presented. her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world?or do newborns simply prefer more to fewer? the same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. perhaps it is just the newness? when slightly older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? no again. babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. the effect even crosses between senses. babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.1babies are sensitive to the change in _.a. the size of cards b. the colour of picturesc. the shape of patternsd. the number of objects2why did the researchers test the babies with drumbeats?a. to reduce the difficulty of the experiment b. to see how babies recognize soundsc. to carry their experiment further d. to keep the babes interest.3where does this text probably come from?a. science fiction b. childrens literaturec. an advertisement d. a science report参考答案13、dcd试题分析：本文属于科学研究类的短文，研究婴儿对于外界声音和变化的反应。科学家在实验中使用了不同的刺激物对婴儿进行刺激以证明研究的准确性。1d 细节题。根据第一段后4行as the cards change from one to the other, her gave（凝视）starts to lose its focus-until a third, with three black spots, is presented. her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card.可知当眼前黑点变成3个的时候，孩子的注意力又恢复了。故d项正确。2c 推理题。根据文章最后三行babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats than when they heard just two; likewise（同样地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.

the books. doctors are starting to find more and more information that suggests a connection between exercise and brain development. judy cameron, a scientist at oregon health and science university, studies brain development. according to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels(血管), including those in the brain, stronger and more fully developed. doctor cameron is sure that this allows people who exercise to think better. as she says, “ while we already know that exercise is good for the heart, exercise can actually cause physical changes in the brain.”the effects of exercise on brain development can even be seen in babies. babies who do activities that requires a lot of movement and physical activity show greater brain development than babies who are less physically active. even a little movement can show big results. margaret barnes, a scientist, also believes in the importance of exercise. she thinks that many learning disabilities that children have in primary school or high school can result from a lack of movement as babies. “babies need movement that encourages and excites their five senses. they need to set up a connection between motion and memory. in this way, as they get older, children will begin to connect physical activity with higher learning,” says margaret.older people can develop their brains as well. cornell university studied a group of seniors who have a shortterm memory increase of up to 40 percent after exercising just three hours a week. the exercise does not have to be very difficult, but it does have to increase the heart rate. also, just like the motion for babies, exercise for older people should not be too simple. learning some new skills or actions, such as with yoga or tai-chi helps to open up memory paths in the brain that may not have been used for a long time. for most people, any type of physical activity that increases the heart rate is helpful. the main aim is to increase the brains flow of blood. and your brain can benefit from as little as two to three hours of exercise a week.1. what is the main idea of this passage?a. how exercise makes people strong.b. how to get good scores on a test.c. how exercise helps the brain.d. how the brain can change. 答案解析：答案为c。本题为主旨大意题。第一段就点出了全文的中心 “according to her research, it seems that exercise can make blood vessels, including those in the brain,

new male excuse for not listening to us.a recent study shows that men find it almost impossible to listen to what women say because their brains are out of synch（不同步的）with complex female tones. apparently, when men listen to other men about the things they care about, they use only the frontal area of their brains. however, when they listen to women its different story. they have to work much harder, employing a part of the brain that normally deals with music. so when a man tells you your voice is music to his ears, hes actually telling the truth, though not in a good way. im sure a lot of women could recall times when they have wasted hours explaining why they are completely right about everything in the world, only to wake up the next day to discover that not one brilliant point got through. those times when men havent listened to me, i just thought i was being ignored. i didnt realize i just wasnt singing their favorite music. if id realized i was being heard as music, i would have had a bit of fun with it. whenever i wanted a discussion, id have brought along my own band, complete with string and horn sections. it is difficult not to be suspicious of yet more scientific findings sparing men the blame because of their biology. isnt this slaves to biology all-purpose excuse wearing thin? its enough to make you wonder at what a strange helpless species men are -which part of the body will be beyond their control next. even if there is something in it, we have to take into account that most relationships are likely to become boring. thats the truth of the matter. male or female, your voice might start out as music to your beloveds ears. but finally it will end up as boredom. when your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise. 1the author of this passage tries to _. a. throw doubts on a commonly accepted idea b. explain a commonly accepted idea as it is c. give some advice on a common problem d. argue against a common belief 答案解析：答案为b。本题考查文章的写作目的。本文第二段就揭示了为什么男性听不进去女性的话的原因，文章后面的内容对此进行了阐述。故答案为b。2according to the new study, men dont listen to women because _ . a. what women say are usually boring b. they dont care about what women say c. they cant deal with female voices d. they regard fema
