南京市2015高考英语阅读理解一轮训练（14）及答案阅读理解 students and technology in the classroomi love my blackberryits my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. i also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts.despite this love of technology, i know that there are times when i need to move away from these device(设备) and truly communicate with others.on occasion，i teach a course called history matters for a group of higher education managers. my goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas.because i want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom，i have a ruleno laptops, ipads, phones, etc.when students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. theres a bit of truth to that.some students assume that i am antitechnology. theres no truth in that at all. i love technology and try to keep up with it so i can relate to my students.the real reason why i ask students to leave technology at the door is that i think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. i want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. i want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between course material and the class discussion.ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that i create.students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.im not saying that i wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until i hear a really good reason for the change，im sticking to my plan. a few hours of technologyfree dialogue is just too sweet to give up.本文是一篇议论文。作者是一位老师，非常喜欢高科技产品，但是为了让他的学生在课堂上讨论历史话题、互相交流观点，他规定在课堂上学生不允许使用手提电脑、ipads及电话。刚开始学生不能理解，但是后来在对学生的学习评估中，学生对这一方法还是非常满意的。9some of the students in the history class were unhappy with _.a. the

probably isnt what they have in mind.yet a new study by fatness researchers at duke university finds that the simple act of readingdepending on the choice of materialcan cause weight loss in teenage girls.the studys experimental group included 31 fat girls aged 9 to 13，who took part in the healthy lifestyles program at duke childrens hospital.the girls read a novel called lake rescue，whose protagonist (主人公) is an overweight teenager who struggles with low selfesteem，feelings of loneliness and teasing because of her size.a group of 33 girls read a different book called charlotte in paris，which did not have an overweight character，and another group of 17 girls read neither book.at the end of the sixmonth experiment，all the girls who read books had lost weight，but the girls who read lake rescue lost more.they lowered their body mass index (bmi) by 0.71，compared with 0.33 in the charlotte group，an average 0.05 increase among the nonreaders.the idea behind the study，says dr sarah armstrong，director of healthy lifestyles，was to find a way to encourage the girls without adopting the restrictive and often authoritative voice of so many other nutrition and diet programs.lake rescue was the perfect instrument，says armstrong；it presents a likable character to whom the girls could relate and whom they could learn from.as the book progresses，its protagonist learns to make

the brain in protective hormones (荷尔蒙) ，u.s.researchers reported on thursday.tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no baby，and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as alzheimers (早老性痴呆症)university of richmond psychology professor craig kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy (怀孕) are protecting the brain，including estrogen (雌激素)，which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects，” kinsley said.“its rats data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals，” he added in a telephone interview.“they go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from alzheimers and other forms of agerelated brain decline.“when people think about pregnancy，they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down，” said kinsley，who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the society of neuroscience in orlando，florida.“they do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain.if you look at female animals that have never gone through pregnancy，they act differently toward young.but if she goes through pregnancy，she will sacrifice her life for her infantthat is a great change in her behavior that shows in genetic alterations to the brain.”31how do scientists know “motherhood may make women smarter”？asome researchers have told them.bmany women say so.cthey know it by experimenting on rats.dthey know it through their own experience.32what does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?ababy rats. banimals.cold rats. dgrownup rats.33what can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?aestrogen.bthe hormones of pregnancy.cmore exercise.dtaking care of children.34“its rats data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” what does the sentence suggest?athe experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.bthe experiments on the rats are very important for animals.cthe experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.dthe experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.35which title is the best for this passage?ado you want to be smarterbmotherhood makes women smartercmysterious hormonesdan important study31c细节理解题。根据“tests on rats show.”可知科学家是通过做老鼠实验得出这个结论的。32a词义猜测题。后面的对比who have no baby，实际上提供了一个相反的情况，所以我们可以推测“those who raise two or more litters of pups”中的“litters of pups”指的是“刚出生不久的小老鼠”。33b细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“.the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain.”可得出答案。34c句意理解题。科学家通过用老鼠做实验来说明人的问题。因为人和老鼠都属于哺乳动物，很多生理机能都相同。35b主旨大意题。短文第一句“motherhood may make women smarter.”是主题句，据此我们可以得出答案。阅读理解- (2011四川卷，d)“experience may possibly be the best teacher，but it is not a particulary good teacher.” you might think that winston churchill or perhaps mark twain spoke those words, but they actually come from james march, a professor at stanford university and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. for years march( possibly the wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act，and he continues to do so in his new book the ambiguities of experience.he begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning ：“experience is respected；experience is sought；experience is explained.”the problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及) serious complications (复杂化)，ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which march discusses in the body of this book.in one interesting part of the book，for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. in our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things. he says“the more accurately(精确地)reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story，the less realistic it is.”besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, march is also a poet, and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. though the book is short, it is demanding：dont pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in wor
