A.scaredB.peacefulC.satisfied D.regretful【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据文章末段中Sadly和only两个词可以推断出作者的遗憾之情。27.What’sthethemeofthepassage?A.Itisimportanttoadapttoanewenvironment.B.Itisimportanttoappreciateyourownculture.C.Itisimportanttorememberyourchildhood.D.Itisimportanttolearnaforeignlanguage.【解析】选B。主旨大意题。本文讲述了作者小时候母亲强迫他去学自己的母语,但是当作者最终可以如愿以偿地放弃学习自己的母语后,他又感到了深深的遗憾和后悔,由此判断文章主要提醒人们要学会欣赏自己的文化。C(2021·玉溪高二检测)Pigeons(鸽子)maybeconsideredmiceofthesky,butsomescientistshavefoundgreatervalueintheseurbanbirds:theblueprintforanewgenerationofflyingmachines.Birdscantransformtheshapeoftheirwingsbyfanningouttheirfeathersormovingthemclosertogether.Thoseadjustmentsallowbirdstocutthroughtheskymoreflexiblythanrigiddrones(无人机).Now,usingnewinsightsintoexactlyhowpigeons’jointscontrolthespreadoftheirwingfeathers,researchershavebuiltaroboticpigeon.Thisresearchpavesthewayforcreatingmorelightaircraft,saysDarioFloreano,aroboticistinSwitzerlandnotinvolvedinthework.“What’sreallycoolaboutthisrobotisthatyoucanmakeadjustmentsinaroboticwingthatyoucouldneverdowhenstudyingflightinabird”,saysDavidLentink,anengineerandbiologistatStanfordUniversity.Acontrollableroboticpigeonsolvesthatproblem.Inflighttests,Lentink’steamobservedthatbendingonlythefingersofonewingeasedtherobotintoabankedturn-offeringthefirstevidencethatbirdsmaysometimesusejusttheirfingerstodirectinflight.Inasecondstudy,Lentink’sgroupusedtheirroboticwingdesigntoconfirmanotherinsightintobirdflight:howgapsarepreventedfromformingbetweenfeathersonextendedwings.

B.Positive.C.Neutral. D.Critical.【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据文章第二段末尾句“Thisresearchpavesthewayforcreatingmorelightaircraft,saysDarioFloreano,aroboticistinSwitzerlandnotinvolvedinthework.”可知,在DarioFloreano看来,这项研究为制造更多的轻型飞机铺平了道路,因此可推知他对这项研究的态度是支持的。故选B。30.Whatdotheunderlinedwords“thatproblem”inParagraph3referto?A.Pigeonsinflightcanhardlybeobserved.B.Peoplecan’tmakeadjustmentsinbirds’wings.C.Itisdifficultforpigeonstomakeabankedturn.D.Pigeonsfailtocontrolthespreadoftheirwingfeathers.【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据画线短语“thatproblem”可知,that为指示代词,指代前文提及的内容。因此thatproblem应是指代前文斯坦福大学的工程师和生物学家DavidLentink说的内容:“这个机器人的最酷之处在于,你可以调整机器人的翅膀,而这在研究鸟类飞行时是无法做到的。”其中提到了人类无法做到的问题:人类无法在研究鸟类飞行时调整鸟的翅膀。故选B。31.Wheredoesthetextprobablycomefrom?A.Atraveljournal. B.Atravelbrochure.C.Asciencefiction. D.Asciencemagazine.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据文章的核心主题为“aroboticpigeon”,因此可知,文章应是科普类文章,应是刊登在科普杂志上。故选D。DResearchershavestudiedhowbirthorderaffectskid’spersonalitiesinthepast,butonestudyoutoftheUnitedKingdomhasfoundthatfirstbornsmayhaveaneducationaladvantageovertheiryoungersiblings(兄弟姐妹).ResearchersattheUniversityofEssex’sInstituteforSocialandEconomicResearchsurveyed3,553individualsand1,503groupsofsiblings,anddiscoveredthatfirstbornchildrentendedtohavehighereducationalaspirationsandattainments.Onlychildrenandfirstborntwinswerenotincludedinthestudy.Foreachfamilyinvolvedinthestudy,researcherFeifeiBuexaminedsiblingbirthorder,thenumberofchildreninthefamily,agespacing,sex,health,relationshipswithoneanotherandeducationalaspirations.Shefoundthatfirstbornshadagreaterprobability—16percenthigher—ofattendingfurthereducation,comparedwithlater-bornsibling.“Theadvantageoffirstbornsineducationaloutcomesmaybepartiallyexplainedbythefactthatfirstbornstendtohavehigheraspirationswhichpushthemtowardhigheducationlevels,”Buwroteinthepublishedstudy.ShefurtherexplainedtoTheGuardianthatparentingcouldplayarole.“Itcouldbethattheparentssimplydevotemoretimeandenergytothem;itcouldbethattheyareactuallymoreintelligent.Forme,Itendtoleantowardsthetheorythattheamountoftime,energyandinvolvementthatparentsputintocaringfortheirchildrenispossiblyatworkhere,”shesaid.Shealsofoundagespacingtobeacontributingfactor.Thefurtherapartinagethesiblings—forexample,asixyearinsteadofoneyeardifference—themorelikelybothkidsweretobesuccessful.Theideaisthatwithwidelyspacedsiblings,parentshavetheabilitytospreadouttheirresources.Inotherwords,theyhavetimetogiveeachchildmoretimeandmoney.Butyoungersiblingsshouldn’tworry.Theworldisfullofsuccessfulmiddleandyoungestchildrenwillingtoprovethisstudywrong.【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。经埃塞克斯大学社会经济研究所的研究人员调查发现长子往往有更高的教育抱负和成就。其中父母花在照顾孩子上的时间、精力和投入可能在这里发挥了作用。32.WhoaremorelikelytocompletehigherlevelsofeducationaccordingtoParagraphs1and2?A.Onlychildren. B.Firstborntwins.C.Youngersiblings. D.Firstbornsiblings.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段内容可知,长子们更有可能完成更高层次的教育。故选D。33.Whatispossiblyimportantforkids’educationalachievementsaccordingtoBu?A.Parents’investment.B.Parents’intelligence.C.Kids’nativeintelligence.D.Kids’schoolenvironment.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第五段中“Forme,Itendtoleantowardsthetheorythattheamountoftime,energyandinvolvementthatparentsputintocaringfortheirchildrenispossiblyatworkhere,”shesaid.可知Bu认为,父母在照顾孩子方面的投资可能对孩子的教育成就很重要。34.Whatistheinfluenceofwideragespacingbetweentwosiblings?A.Itmaycauseconflictsbetweenthem.B.Itmayplacemorepressureonparents.C.Bothofthemaremorelikelytosucceed.D.Theyarelikelytobedifferentfromeachother.【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句Thefurtherapartinagethesiblings—forexample,asixyearinsteadofoneyeardifference—themorelikelybothkidsweretobesuccessful.可知兄弟姐妹之间年龄差距越大,他们成功的可能性越大。35.Howisthetextmainlydeveloped?A.Bylistingexamples.B.Bygivingdescriptions.C.Bysettingdowngeneralrules.D.Bypresentingresearchfindings.【解析】选D。推理判断题。分析文章结构可知,第一、二段主要说明了“长子们更有可能完成更高层次的教育”的研究发现,第五段说明父母在照顾孩子方面的投资可能对孩子的教育成就很重要;第六段第一句说明兄弟姐妹之间年龄差距越大,他们成功的可能性越大。可知文章主要通过展示研究成果来展开。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)(2021·北京高二检测)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。DoActionsSpeakLouderthanWords?Oursocietyisfastpaced.Weareallrushingfromoneplacetothenext,blowingourhornatslowdriverswhomaybesingingsongsinthecarwiththeirchildrenorpointingoutsomeinterestingsights.Wedon’thavetimeforthatsillinesstoday.Butwetrytosaytoourselvesthatwewillmaketimeforfuntomorrow.Itistimetotakeafewdeepbreathsandthinkaboutouractionsandourwords.36
