【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了樹的智慧:每棵樹都有其不同的個性,遇到困難時它們也會互相幫助。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),樹不但能自己做決定,還能從自己的錯誤中吸取教訓。28.Whydoestheauthormentionthethreeoaktrees?A.Toillustratetreescanlearnfromexperiences.B.Toshowtreescanmakeindependentdecisions.C.Toexplaintreesarequitesupportivetoeachother.D.Toprovetreeshavethesamepersonalitiesashumans.答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第四句可知,三棵橡樹中,有一棵總比其他兩棵先落葉;結(jié)合第三段第一句可知,樹木能自己做決定。據(jù)此可推知,作者提及三棵橡樹旨在說明樹木可以自己做決定,故B項正確。29.Accordingtothetext,whichofthefollowingbestdescribesgeneralfeaturesoftrees?A.Anxiousandbold.B.Smartandadventurous.C.Helpfulandwellbehaved.D.Adaptableandsupportive.答案D解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句并結(jié)合第三段內(nèi)容可知,樹木不僅能自己做決定,還能從自己的錯誤中吸取教訓。據(jù)此可推知,樹木的適應(yīng)能力強。根據(jù)第四段第一、二句可知,樹木不僅善于照顧自己,當遇到困難時,它們還相互支持,甚至照顧生病、虛弱的同類。據(jù)此可推知,樹木之間互幫互助,故D項正確。30.Whatdoestheunderlinedphrase“dosuchathing”mean?A.Givewarnings.B.Offerassistance.C.Dependonothers.D.Providenutrients.答案B解析詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段尾句可知,樹樁是由它的鄰居從根處給予營養(yǎng)來滋養(yǎng)的;結(jié)合第五段第一句和其后的內(nèi)容可知,該處表示“為什么樹木要互相幫助”,顯然該短語是指提供幫助,故B項正確。31.Wheredoesthistextmostprobablyefrom?A.Apubliclecture.B.Asciencebook.C.Anexperimentreport.D.Atraveljournal.答案B解析推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了樹的智慧。據(jù)此可推知,本文最可能選自科學書籍,故B項正確。D(2020全國卷Ⅰ)Theconnectionbetweenpeopleandplantshaslongbeenthesubjectofscientificresearch.Recentstudieshavefoundpositiveeffects.AstudyconductedinYoungstown,Ohio,forexample,discoveredthatgreenerareasofthecityexperiencedlesscrime.Inanother,employeeswereshowntobe15%moreproductivewhentheirworkplacesweredecoratedwithhouseplants.TheengineersattheMassachusettsInstituteofTechnology(MIT)havetakenitastepfurther—changingtheactualpositionofplantsinordertogetthemtoperformdiverse,evenunusualfunctions.Theseincludeplantsthathavesensorsprintedontotheirleavestoshowwhenthey’reshortofwaterandaplantthatcandetectharmfulchemicalsingroundwater.“We’rethinkingabouthowwecanengineerplantstoreplacefunctionsofthethingsthatweuseeveryday,”explainedMichaelStrano,aprofessorofchemicalengineeringatMIT.Oneofhislatestprojectshasbeentomakeplantsglow(發(fā)光)inexperimentsusingsomemonvegetables.Strano’steamfoundthattheycouldcreateafaintlightforthreeandahalfhours.Thelight,aboutonethousandthoftheamountneededtoreadby,isjustastart.Thetechnology,Stranosaid,couldonedaybeusedtolighttheroomsoreventoturntreesintoselfpoweredstreetlamps.Inthefuture,theteamhopestodevelopaversionofthetechnologythatcanbesprayedontoplantleavesinaoneofftreatmentthatwouldlasttheplant’slifetime.Theengineersarealsotryingtodevelopanonandoff“switch”wheretheglowwouldfadewhenexposedtodaylight.Lightingaccountsforabout7%ofthetotalelectricityconsumedintheUS.Sincelightingisoftenfarremovedfromthepowersource(電源)—suchasthedistancefromapowerplanttostreetlampsonaremotehighway—alotofenergyislostduringtransmission(傳輸).Glowingplantscouldreducethisdistanceandthereforehelpsaveenergy.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了麻省理工學院開展的研究,力求用發(fā)光的植物代替日常用品的功能。用普通蔬菜來發(fā)光照亮房間,甚至將樹木變成自供電的街燈。32.Whatisthefirstparagraphmainlyabout?A.Anewstudyofdifferentplants.B.Abigfallincrimerates.C.Employeesfromvariousworkplaces.D.Benefitsfromgreenplants.答案D解析段落大意題。由文章第一段可知,一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn),城市綠化率越高的區(qū)域犯罪率越低;另一項研究發(fā)現(xiàn),工作環(huán)境有室內(nèi)植物裝飾時,員工的效率提高15%。由此可知,本段主要講綠色植物的好處。故選D項。33.WhatisthefunctionofthesensorsprintedonplantleavesbyMITengineers?A.Todetectplants’lackofwater.B.Tochangepositionsofplants.C.Tomakethelifeofplantslonger.D.Totestchemicalsinplants.答案A解析細節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段中的“Theseincludeplantsthathavesensorsprintedontotheirleavestoshowwhenthey’reshortofwater”可知,麻省理工學院的工程師們之所以在植物葉子上放置傳感器,是想監(jiān)測植物的缺水狀況。故選A項。34.Whatcanweexpectoftheglowingplantsinthefuture?A.Theywillspeedupenergyproduction.B.Theymaytransmitelectricitytothehome.C.Theymighthelpreduceenergyconsumption.D.Theycouldtaketheplaceofpowerplants.答案C解析推理判斷題。由文章最后兩段,尤其是最后一段中的“Glowingplantscouldreducethisdistanceandthereforehelpsaveenergy.”可推知,將來這種發(fā)光植物可能會有助于降低能源消耗。故選C項。35.Whichofthefollowingcanbethebesttitleforthetext?A.Canwegrowmoreglowingplants?B.Howdowelivewithglowingplants?C.Couldglowingplantsreplacelamps?D.Howareglowingplantsmadepollutionfree?答案C解析標題歸納題。文章開門見山,指出人類與植物的聯(lián)系一直是科研的主題;然后講述麻省理工學院開展的研究,力求用植物代替日常用品的功能;接下來進一步闡述用普通蔬菜來發(fā)出光照亮房間,甚至將樹木變成自供電的街燈。由此可知,文章最佳標題為:發(fā)光的植物能替代街燈嗎?故選C項。第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分,滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Asisknowntoall,wearealwaysconsumingvariousfoods.Wehavetospendlargepartsofourdaysfinding,buying,cookingandeatingourfood.Didyoueverthinkitmightbenicetobeabletomakeyourownfoodlikeplantsdo?36Theyperformaprocesscalledphotosynthesis(光合作用)usinglightfromthesun,waterandcarbondioxide.Theendresultofthischemicalreactionissugarfortheplanttoeat.Theplantgivesoffwaterandoxygen.
