高考压轴冲刺练 十限时50分钟. 阅读理解 imagine youre at a party full of strangers. youre nervous. who are these people? how do you start a conversation? fortunately, youve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyones name tag(标签). the chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meetingwhatever. making new friends becomes simple. this hasnt quite happened in real life. but the world is already experiencing a revolution using rfid technology. a rfid tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pets skin, even under your own skin. passive rfid tags have no energy sourcebatteries because they do not need them. the energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy(for example, radio waves)that starts up the tag immediately. such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. already, rfid technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patients medical records. at a nightclub in paris or in new york the same chip gets you into the vip section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm. take a step back 10 or 12 years ago, you would have heard about the coming age of computing. one example always seemed to surface: your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. the concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler. rfid tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “the world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly, ”predicts dr. j. reich. human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. it goes too far tracking school kids through rfid tags, they say. we imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. and how many beers accompanied by how many biscuits. when marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. not for pop music. who knows how rfid and related technologies will be used in the future. heres a wild guess: not for buying milk. 【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述是一项新技术rfid的应用和它的前景。1. the article is intended to_. a. warn people of the possible risks in adopting rfid technologyb. explain the benefits brought about by rfid technologyc. convince people of the uses of rfid technologyd. predict the applications of rfid technology【解析】选d。主旨大意题。通读全文可知该文章主要讲述新技术的应用。故d项正确。2. passive rfid tags chiefly consist of_. a. scanning devicesb. radio wavesc. batteriesd. chips【解析】选d。细节理解题。根据第三段中“a rfid tag with a tiny. . . have no energy sourcebatteries because they do not need them. 可知passive rfid主要包括一些芯片。故d项正确。3. why are some people worried about rfid technology? a. because children will be tracked by strangers. b. because market competition will become more fierce. c. because their private lives will be greatly affected. d. because customers will be forced to buy more products. 【解析】选c。细节理解题。根据第六段中“human right supporters are nervous. . . and how many beers accompanied by how many biscuits. ”可知一些人担心私生活被影响。故c项正确。4. the last paragraph implies that rfid technology_. a. will not be used for such matters as buying milkb. will be widely used, including for buying milkc. will be limited to communication usesd. will probably be used for pop music【解析】选b。推理判断题。根据最后一段可知marconi在发明收音机时只想到应用在轮船与陆地沿岸的交流沟通上, 没想到应用在流行音乐上, 因而没有人知道rfid及相关技术在未来将怎样使用, 可能会用在购买牛奶上。故b项正确。 “what is the most important thing youve done in your life? ”the question was put to me during a presentation i gave to a group of lawyers. the answer came to me in an instant. its not the one i gave, because the situation was not right. as a lawyer in the entertainment industry, i knew the audience wanted to hear some amusing stories about my work with well-known people, but heres the true answer: the most important thing ive ever done occurred on october 8, 1990. i began the day playing tennis with an old friend i hadnt seen for a while. between points we talked about what had been happening in each others lives. he and his wife had just had a baby boy, who was keeping them up at night. while we were playing, a car came screaming up the road toward the courts. it was my friends father, who shouted to my friend that his baby had stopped breathing and was being rushed to the hospital. in a flash, my friend was in the car and gone, disappearing in a cloud of dust. for a moment i just stood there, paralyzed(呆若木鸡). then i tried to figure out what i should do. follow my friend to the hospital? “there was nothing i could accomplish there, ”i convinced myself. my friends son was in the care of doctors and nurses, and nothing i could do or say would affect the outcome. be there for moral support? well, maybe. but my friend and his wife both had large families, and i knew theyd be surrounded by relatives who would provide more than enough comfort and support, whatever happened. all i could do at the hospital, i decided, was to get in the way. also, i had planned a full day with my family, who were waiting for me to get home. so i decided to head back to my house and check in my friend later. as i started my car, i realized that my friend had left his truck and keys at the courts. i now faced another problem. i couldnt leave the keys in the truck. so i decided to go to the hospital and give him the keys. when i arrived, i was directed to a room where my friend and his wife were waiting. as i had thought, the room was filled with family members silently watching my friend comfort his wife. i went in and stood by the door, trying to decide what to do next. soon a doctor appeared. he approached my friend and his wife, and in a quiet voice told them that their son had died. for a long time the two held each other and cried, unaware of the rest of us standing around in pained silence. after they had calmed themselves, the doctor suggested they spend a few moments with their son. my friend and his wife stood up and walked past their families. when they reached the door, my friend saw me standing in the corner. he came over and hugged me and started to cry. my friends wife hugged me, too, and said, “thanks for being here. ”for the rest of that morning, i sat in the emergency room of that hospital and watched my friend and his wife hold the body of their infant son, and say goodbye. its the most important thing i have ever done. the experience taught me two lessons. first: the most important thing ive ever done happened when i was completely helpless. none of the things i had learned in university, in three years of law school or in six years of legal practice were of any use in that situation. something terrible was happening to people i cared about, and i was powerless to change the outcome. all i could do was standing by and watching it happen. and yet it was critical that i do just thatjust be there when someone needed me. second: the most important thing ive done almost didnt happen because of things i had learned in classroom and professional life. law school taught me how to take a set of facts, break them down and organize them. these skills are critical for lawyers. when people come to us for help, theyre often stressed out and depend on a lawyer to think logically. but while learning to think, i almost forget how to feel. today i have no doubt that i should have leapt into my car without hesitation and followed my friend to the hospital. from that one experience i learned that the most important thing in life isnt the money you make, the status you attain or the honors you achieve. the most important thing in life is the kids team you coach or the poem you writeor the time when youre just somebodys friend. 【文章大意】作者通过自身的经验得出: 当朋友遇到困难时, 我们应该站在他们身旁, 给予他们支持。5. when he was asked about the most important thing he had done in life at a presentation, the author_. a. felt it was not an interesting questionb. thought for a while and spoke his mindc. gave an answer from a lawyers point of viewd. didnt give the real answer【解析】选d。细节理解题。从第二段的第二句its not the one i gave, because the situation was not right. 可知。6. when he saw his friend rush to the hospital, the author could not decide whether to follow mainly because he thought_. a. he had to stay with his familyb. his friend did not need his helpc. he would not be of much helpd. the baby would be in the doctors care【解析】选c。细节理解题。从第五段的倒数第三句all i could do at the hospital, i decided, was to get in the way. 可知。7. what can we infer from the authors description of the scene at the hospital?
