1、高考真题题组训练(八).阅读理解(2017全国,D)The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is
2、 one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people,leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝) and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe,the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into lat
3、er life.These include custom-made navigation(导航) tools,night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations.Phil Blythe explains: “For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country,driving is important for preserving their independence,giving them the freedom to get out and
4、about without having to rely on others.“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills.The result is that people stop driving before they rea
5、lly need to.”Dr Amy Guo,the leading researcher on the older driver study,explains:“The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key stress points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.“For example,most of us would expect older drivers a
6、lways go slower than everyone else but surprisingly,we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined.Were looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.“
7、We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案) to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”1.What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?A.To explore new means of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older drivers problems.D.To teach people traffic rules.2.
8、Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.3.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A.Improve their driving skills. B.Develop driver-assist technolo
9、gies.C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.D.Organize regular physical checkups.4.What is the best title for the text?A.A New Model Electric Car B.A Solution to Traffic ProblemsC.Driving Services for EldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road语篇解读:本文是说明文,主要介绍了一些研究人员了解老年司机所面临的问题进而解决这些问题,让他们能在老年时候也能开车,
10、享受独立生活。答案及剖析:1.C目的推断题。根据第一段in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are可知,这个驾驶实验室的目的是了解老年司机面临的挑战和压力关键点在哪儿。2.A细节理解题。根据第四段driving is important for preserving their independence,giving them the freedom to get out and about without having t
11、o rely on others可知Phil Blythe认为开车能让老年人保持独立,故选A项。3.B推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,这些研究人员希望发展一些内置的驾驶辅助技术来帮助老年司机。4.D主旨大意题。 本文介绍了一些研究人员发展一些内置辅助驾驶技术来解决老年司机面临的问题,让他们也能开车,享受独立生活。.七选五(2016全国)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Secret codes (密码)keep messages private.Banks,companies,and government agencies use secret
12、codes in doing business,especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years.1. Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making.The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography.2.
13、For example,the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels”spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”3. You might represent each letter with a number,for example.Lets number the letters of the alphabet,in order,from 1 to 26.If we substitute a number for each letter,the message “Meet me”would read
14、 “13 5 5 20 13 5.”A code uses symbols to replace words,phrases,or sentences.To read the message of a real code,you must have a code book.4. For example,“bridge”might stand for “meet”and “out”might stand for “me.”The message “Bridge out”would actually mean “Meet me.”5. However,it is also hard to keep
15、 a code book secret for long.So codes must be changed frequently.A.It is very hard to break a code without the code book.B.In any language,some letters are used more than others.C.Only people who know the keyword can read the message.D.As long as there have been codes,people have tried to break them
16、.E.You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.F.With a code book,you might write down words that would stand for other words.G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.语篇解读:本文是说明文,主要介绍了密码的设置。答案及剖析:1.D根据下一句内容“密码的破解从来没有落后于密码的设置”可知,此处应表示“有了密码的设置就有了破译密码的存在”,与D项描述吻合。2.E根据后面举的
