考查学生对拉斯科洞穴关闭原因的理解。从文中提取关键信息,理解保护措施与保护对象之间的因果关系,排除干扰项。10.Classifyingthedigitizedmanuscriptsinonesystemisbeneficialto______.

考查学生对手稿数字化分类系统好处的理解。理解文中关于数字化手稿管理相关内容,分析分类系统的功能意义,准确把握细节。11.Whichwouldbethebesttitleofthepassage?考查学生对文章整体标题的概括能力。综合理解文章内容,提炼文章核心思想,对比不同选项对文章主旨的概括程度。8.WhatdoestheauthorintendtodobymentioningtheParkerLibrary?A.CondemnthebehaviorofMatthewParkerasimmoral.B.Demonstratetheworthandvalueofitsdistinctivedocuments.C.Describethemeasuresandeffectsofdigitizingthemanuscripts.D.Displaythefertilityandvividnessofthemedievalimagination.【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第二段可知,帕克图书馆的手稿被数字化,并与斯坦福大学合作放置在网上供全球访问,这体现了手稿数字化的过程及其带来的广泛可访问性的好处。故选C。9.AccordingtoParagraph3,thepurposeofclosingthecavesatLascauxisto______.

A.preventthepaintingsfrombeingdamagedB.carryontherestorationofthepaintingsC.showthewondereffectofthevirtualdisplayD.reducethenumberoftourists【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中“ThecavesatLascauxhadtobeclosedtoprotectthepaintingsfromthebreathoftouristsandreplacedbyavirtualdisplay.”可知,拉斯科洞穴对游客关闭是为了保护绘画免受游客呼吸的损害,表明了关闭洞穴的目的是防止艺术品受损。故选A。10.Classifyingthedigitizedmanuscriptsinonesystemisbeneficialto______.

A.collectingmuchmorevaluablematerialsB.quicklyfindingandsortingdocumentsC.consultingmaterialsfromallovertheworldD.savingtimeandenergyofsearchingdocuments【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第四段中“Thehopeistobringthemunderonesystemofclassificationsothattheycanquicklybesearchedandsortednomatterwheretheycamefromandwheretheynowarestored.”可知,将所有学术数字化手稿统一在一个分类系统下,以便能够快速搜索和排序。故选B。11.Whichwouldbethebesttitleofthepassage?A.TheImpactofDigitalRevolutionEraB.TheNewEraofTraditionalManuscriptsC.AccessibilityofOldManuscriptsAllAroundtheWorldD.DigitalRevolutionBringsManuscriptsTolife【解析】选D。最佳标题题。通读全文,尤其是由第二段可知,文章主要探讨了数字技术如何使古老的手稿以数字形式广泛传播,使全球范围内的访问成为可能,同时强调了这一过程对保护和研究古代文献的重要意义。由此可知,D选项“DigitalRevolutionBringsManuscriptsTolife(数字革命使手稿栩栩如生)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。【失分剖析】第8题失分原因是对例子理解不全面。如果只关注到帕克图书馆手稿的价值(如插图等),可能会误选B或D。没有深入理解整个段落对手稿数字化过程和结果的描述,就难以准确选C。有时会未把握重点,没有理解作者通过这个例子是为了阐述数字化的情况,而被无关的道德评判或单一价值方面的干扰项误导。第9题失分原因是对信息理解错误。没有抓住文中关闭洞穴是为了保护画作这一关键信息,可能会因对虚拟展示、游客数量等相关内容的误解而误选C或D。或者逻辑关系混淆,不能正确理解保护措施(关闭洞穴)与保护对象(画作)之间的因果联系,导致选错。第10题失分原因是对细节理解不足。没有准确理解文中关于分类系统目的是快速搜索和排序这一内容,可能会因对节省时间、精力等类似表述的模糊理解而误选D,或者被收集材料、咨询材料等干扰项误导。如果主旨关联不清,没有将分类系统的好处与文章整体对手稿数字化管理的主旨联系起来,就会导致选择偏离。第11题失分原因是对主旨概括不准确。如果没有从整体上理解文章是围绕数字革命对手稿的积极作用展开,可能会因对部分内容的片面理解而选错。有时选项分析不到位,不能准确分析每个选项对文章主旨的涵盖程度,无法识别选项的宽泛、片面或不准确之处。D(2024·江西模拟)AshomegardenersintheUSpagethroughseedcatalogs(目录册)andpickouttheirfavoriteplants,there’sanewseedthathasneverbeenavailabletothembefore:apurpletomato.ItisthefirstgeneticallyengineeredfoodcroptobedirectlymarketedtohomegardenersandtheseedswentonsaleSaturday.ThelendingscientistbehindthetomatoisCathieMartin.About20yearsago,shesetouttocreateatransgenic(转基因的)tomato,usingDNAfromapurplesnapdragon,whichisanunrelatedeatableflower.Hergoalwastodevelopatomatowithhighlevelsofanthocyanins,chemicalsthatgiveblueberries,blackberries,eggplantandpurplecabbagetheircolor.Researchhasshownthatanthocyaninsalsohaveanti-cancerandanti-agingeffects.“It’snormalfortomatoestomakethesehealthychemicals.Buttheytypicallydon’tmakethemverymuchinthefruit,”Martintoldreportersinaninterview.“Theynormallyappearintheleavesandstems.”Soshestartedwith,separatingtheDNAinthesnapdragonflowerthatturnsonandoffthepurplecolor.Next,sheusedabasictechniquethatwasfiguredoutbyscientistsinthe1980stointroduceitintoacertainbacteriasothatthetomatocouldthentakeintheforeigngeneticmaterialandexpressthisnewgene.Theresult?InapaperpublishedinNature,Martinfoundthatthepurpletomatohad,perweight,asmuchanthocyaninasablueberryoreggplant,andthatthemicewhoateadietmixedwithpurpletomatoeslived30%longerthanthosewhodidn’t.“Americanseatmoretomatoesannually,soitmakesthenutritionalbenefitsmoreaccessible,”Martinsaid.Ofcourse,somepeoplehaveraisedhealthconcernsabouteatinggeneticallyengineeredfoods.Butthesefoodswereintroducedthreedecadesagoandstudieshavenotshownanyharm.“Thepurplepotatoisanothergreatexampleofhowtheoutcomesandapplicationsofsuchbiotechnologiescanimproveourlife,”Martinsaid.【语篇属性】语篇类型说明文主题语境人与社会(科学与进步科技发展与技术创新)语篇内容文章介绍了第一个针对家庭市场开发的转基因食物:紫色西红柿。语篇结构Para.1Anewpurpletomatoseed,thefirstgeneticallyengineeredfoodcropforhomegardeners,wentonsaleintheUS.Para.2CathieMartinaimedtocreateatransgenictomatowithDNAfromapurplesnapdragontohavehighanthocyaninlevelsforhealthbenefits.Para.3Tomatoesusuallydon’tmakemuchofthehealthyanthocyaninsinthefruitbutinleavesandstems.Para.4MartinusedtechniquestointroducerelevantDNAfromsnapdragonintobacteriaforthetomatototakeinthenewgene.Para.5Thepurpletomatohasasmuchanthocyaninassomeotherpurple-coloredfoodsandmiceeatingitlivedlonger.Para.6Martinsaidthepurpletomato’savailabilityintheUSmakesitsnutritionalbenefitsmoreaccessibleasAmericanseatmanytomatoes.Para.7Somepeoplehaveraisedhealthconcernsaboutgeneticallyengineeredfoods,butstudieshaven’tshownanyharm.Para.8Martinsaidthepurplepotatoexampleshowshowsuchbiotechnologiescanimprovelife.【命题意图】12.Whatcanbeinferredfromthesecondparagraph?考查学生对第二段内容的理解推理能力13.Whatcanweknowaboutthetechniqueusedtoproducethepurpletomato?考查学生对生产紫色西红柿技术的理解。认真分析文中关于技术流程的描述,辨别技术的相关信息,包括其发明情况、操作步骤和特点,准确把握细节14.WhatdoesCathieMartinthinkofthegeneticallyengineeredfoods?考查学生对CathieMartin对转基因食品看法的理解。考查从文中人物的言论和相关研究结果的表述中,推断人物对转基因食品安全性的观点,理解作者通过事例传达的态度15.Fromwhichisthetextprobablytaken?考查学生对文章体裁的判断。考查根据文章的内容结构、语言风格和目的,判断文章的体裁类型,区分不同体裁的典型特征12.Whatcanbeinferredfromthesecondparagraph?A.Tomatoesusuallydonotproduceanthocyanins.B.Thewildpurplesnapdragonmightbepoisonous.C.Manypurplefruitsmaypostponetheagingprocess.D.Thepurpletomatowaswidelyavailable20yearsago.【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第二段可推知,许多紫色水果可能延缓衰老过程。故选C。13.Whatcanweknowaboutthetechniqueusedtoproducethepurpletomato?A.Itisarelativelyoldmethod.B.ItwasinventedbyCathieMartin.C.ItputstheDNAdirectlyintothepotato.D.ItwasusedtoseparatetheDNAintheflower.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段可知,紫色番茄的生产技术是一种比较古老的方法。故选A。14.WhatdoesCathieMartinthinkofthegeneticallyengineeredfoods?A.Unprofitable. B.Safe.C.Expensive. D.Unreliable.【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知,CathieMartin认为转基因食品是安全的。故选B。15.Fromwhichisthetextprobablytaken?A.Anadvertisement.B.Ahandbook.C.Ashortstory.D.Asciencereport.【解析】选D。文章出处题。根据第一段可知,文章介绍了第一个针对家庭市场开发的转基因食物:紫色西红柿。由此推知,这篇文章很可能选自一份科技报告。故选D。【失分剖析】第12题失分原因是对细节理解不准确。若没注意到文中关于西红柿正常会产生花青素只是量的问题这一细节,可能误选A。对花青素与紫色水果抗衰老关系理解不足,无法得出C选项。也可能推理过度或不足,可能因过度推测紫色金鱼草有毒而选B,或因不能从文中信息合理推断出紫色水果的抗衰老作用而失分。第13题失分原因是对技术流程混淆。没有厘清文中关于技术步骤的描述,可能因误解技术的操作对象或发明者而选错。例如,认为是Martin发明技术而选B,或不清楚是将含相关DNA的细菌引入西红柿而误选C。只关注到技术中的部分信息,如分离DNA步骤,而忽略整体技术情况,导致错选D。第14题失分原因是对人物观点把握错误。没有从文中人物言论和相关研究结果中准确理解Martin的观点,可能因受部分人对转基因食品担忧的影响而误选D,或因未关注安全相关内容而选其他无关选项。如果忽略关键信息,遗漏文中关于研究未显示转基因食品危害这一关键信息,无法正确判断Martin的态度。第15题失分原因是对体裁特征不熟悉。不能准确识别不同体裁的特点,可能因看到转基因食品有商业销售相关内容而误选A,或因对科学报告和其他体裁区别不清而选错。Ⅱ.七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)(2025·绵阳模拟)NewinventiontogetastronautsmovinginspaceNASAsaysthatastronautscanloseasmuchas10%oftheirbonedensity(骨密度)whenthey’reinspace.That’sbecausethereisnogravityfortheirbodiestopushagainst.16Itisamachinethatallowsthemtojumpinzerogravity.
