2017届高考英语二轮复习课件：《时闻型阅读理解》

　　返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 新 题 预 测 8．B　推理判断题。根据最后一段“The submarine takes six times longer to cover the same area as the pinger locator, and will need about six weeks to two months to examine the present underwater zone.”可知，潜航器比定位器要多花六倍的时间覆盖检查相同的地方，并且需要六周到两个月的时间检测水下区域。这说明潜航器航行地非常慢，而最后一段说明信号来自水下4500米深的地方，所以要花很久的时间，故选B项。 返回目录 　 教师备用习题 The television news feature about Ben Heckmann, an eighth grader from Farmington, Minn, was breathless in its praise.“At 14, he has accomplished something many adults can't achieve，” the reporter said, “Ben is a twice­published author.” But Ben's two Velvet Black books, describing a fictional rock band, were not picked from a pile of manuscripts(手稿) by an eagle­eyed publisher.

　　Recordings of angry bees are enough to send big, tough African elephants running away, a new study says. Beehives(蜂窝)—either recorded or real—may even prevent elephants from damaging farmers' crops. In 2002, scientist Lucy King and her team found that elephants avoid certain trees with bees living in them. Today, Lucy wants to see if African honeybees might discourage elephants from eating crops. But before she asked farmers to go to the trouble of setting up beehives on their farms, she needed to find out if the bees would scare elephants away. 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 真 题 典 例

　　Lucy found a wild beehive inside a tree in Northern Kenya and set up a recorder. Then she threw a

　　stone into the beehive, which burst into life. Lucy and her assistant hid in their car until the angry bees had calmed down. Next, Lucy searched out elephant families in Samburu National Reserve in Northern Kenya and put a speaker in a tree close to each family. 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 真 题 典 例

　　From a distance, Lucy switched on the pre­recorded sound of angry bees while at the same time recording the elephants with a video camera. Half the elephant groups left the area within ten seconds. Out of a total of 17 groups, only one group ignored the sound of the angry bees. Lucy reported that all the young elephants immediately ran to their mothers to hide under them. When Lucy played the sound of a waterfall(瀑布) instead of the angry bees to many of the same elephant families, the animals were undisturbed. Even after four minutes, most of the groups stayed in one place. 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 真 题 典 例

　　Lucy is now studying whether the elephants will continue to avoid the sound of angry bees after hearing it several times. She hasn't tested enough groups yet to know, but her initial(最初的) results were promising enough to begin trials with farmers. She has now begun placing speakers in the fields to see if elephants are frightened away. 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 真 题 典 例

British director Steve McQueen's brave portrayal of pre­Civil War American slavery won two other Oscars, including best supporting actress for newcomer Lupita Nyong'o and best adapted screenplay based on the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free man tricked and sold into slavery in Louisiana.“Everyone deserves not just to survive but to live.

His co­star, Jared Leto, won best supporting actor for his role as Woodroof's unlikely business partner, the transgender woman Rayon, for which he also slimmed down drastically. 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 新 题 预 测 Australia's Cate Blanchett won the best actress Oscar for her acclaimed role as the socialite unhinged by her husband's financial crimes in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine.“As random and subjective as this award is, it means a great deal in a year of, yet again, extraordinary performances by women，”said Blanchett, who beat out previous Oscar winners Bullock, Amy Adams, Judi Dench and Meryl Streep. 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 新 题 预 测 1．The film which won the largest number of Oscar awards this year is ________.

　　missing Malaysian plane's black boxes, the Australian head of the search said. 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 新 题 预 测 Angus Houston said the crew on board the Ocean Shield

　　will send the underwater vehicle sometime Monday evening. The Bluefin 21 submarine can create a sonar(声呐) map of the area to chartany wreckage(残骸)on the seafloor. The move comes after crews picked up a series of underwater sounds over the past two weeks that were consistent with an aircraft's black boxes. “We haven't had a single detection in six days, and I guess it's time to go underwater，”said Houston. 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 新 题 预 测 “Analysis of the four signals has reduced the search area on the ocean floor. The experts have therefore determined that the Australian Defense Vessel Ocean Shield will stop searching with the Towed Pinger Locator(拖曳声波定位仪)later today and use the underwater vehicle Bluefin 21 as soon as possible，” he said at a news conference in Perth. But_Houston_warned_the_switch_to_the_submarine_will_not_automatically_result_in_the_detection_of_the_aircraft_wreckage._“It_may_not，”_he_said． 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 新 题 预 测 He said the submarine will take 24 hours to do each task, including two hours to dive, 16 hours to search the bottom, then two more hours to hack up and four hours to download data. Recovering the plane's flight data and cockpit(飞行员座舱)voice recorders is necessary for investigators to try to figure out what happened to Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8. Houston said the search using the submarine will be “a slow and painstaking process”． 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 新 题 预 测 The submarine takes six times longer to cover the same area as the pinger locator, and will need about six weeks to two months to examine the present underwater zone. The signals are also coming from 4，500 metres (15，000 feet) below the surface, which is the deepest the submarine can dive. 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 新 题 预 测 5．The submarine will be sent deep into the Indian Ocean on Monday to ________.

　　missing Malaysian plane's black boxes…”可知，其目的是检测信号是否来自黑匣子， 故选C项。 返回目录 专题二十　时闻型阅读理解 新 题 预 测 6．D　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的“The signals are also coming from 4，500 metres (15，000 feet) below the surface, which is the deepest the submarine can dive.”可知，信号来自海底4500米深的地方，那也是潜航器能到达的最深的地方，故选D项。 7．D　推理判断题。通过分析画线部分可知，Houston认为潜航器的使用并不一定意味着能找到飞机残骸，故选D项。
