1、最新英语阅读理解(科普环保)练习题20篇含解析一、高中英语阅读理解科普环保类1犇犇阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 A new study from brain researchers helps explain how the human brain evolved or changed over time, to permit people to speak and write. Michael Ullman, the lead researcher, a professor at Georgetown University Medical School
2、in Washington, D.C, has been studying language learning for more than 20 years. Ullman says his research shows that the human brain does not have a special area or system for making language. Over time we have simply reused or co-opted (指派) parts of our brain for language. And those parts, he says,
3、are ancient-older even than humans themselves. This study examines the theoretical framework (准则) that language is learned, stored and processed in two ancient learning and memory systems in the brain. Ullman, Hamrick and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language. They fo
4、und that people learn language using two memory systems: declarative and procedural. Memorizing vocabulary, for example, is a declarative memory process. But learning grammar is, mostly, a procedural memory process. Declarative memory, in humans at least, is what we think of as learning memory, such
5、 as, Oh, remember what you said last night or things like that. And procedural motor memory is what we often call motor memory such as how you learn to ride a bicycle. Or, Ullman adds, These procedural memory skills become so deeply leaned that we are no longer aware that we are doing them. However,
6、 Ullman explains that the two long-term memory systems can share tasks. And, he adds, the adult brain uses the systems to learn language a bit differently than a childs brain. Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns. They think about i
7、t purposefully. For a child, the grammar may come more naturally. They dont have to think about the grammar rules before speaking. In addition to language learners, Ullmans study could help people who have a brain injury that affects speaking and writing. This knowledge can also help those who have
8、learning disabilities such as dyslexia (阅读障碍). People with dyslexia have difficulty recognizing words and symbols accurately.（1）How did Ullman study humans memory systems? A.By examining the brain with his team.B.By studying language learning over years.C.By comparing different languages year after
9、year.D.By referring to data from other studies on language.（2）Which of the following is an example of motor memory? A.Learning to make a model plane.B.Remembering the grammar patternsC.Repeating what you heard.D.Memorizing what you read.（3）What does the underlined word it refer to? A.Declarative mem
10、ory.B.An adult language learner.C.Using grammar patterns.D.A second language.（4）Whats the main idea of the text? A.Ullman has advanced our language understanding.B.A new research helps people learn a new language.C.Learning memory is more active than motor memory.D.Human beings learn language in pre
11、 human area of brain.【答案】 （1）D（2）A（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，讲述Michael Ullman和他的团队的研究称人类大脑前区的为语言学习区，由此解开了人类大脑进化过程之谜。在最古老的大脑学习记忆区域，陈述性记忆和运动记忆分工合作，来完成语言学习。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“Ullman, Hamrick and the rest of the team looked at data from 16 other studies on language.”可知，该团队通过研究其他语言学习的成果，得出的结论，故选D。 （2）考查推理
12、判断。根据第六段中的And procedural motor memory is what we often call motor memory such as how you learn to ride a bicycle.可知，程序性运动记忆就是我们常说的运动记忆，比如学习骑自行车等技能，故选A。 （3）考查词义猜测。根据倒数第二段中的Adult language learners of a second language may use their declarative memory for using grammar patterns.可知，成年语言学习者在学习第二语言时，是刻意地在
13、使用语法句式。所以it是指代using grammar patterns，故选C。 （4）考查主旨大意。根据第三段中的“Ullman says his research shows that the human brain does not have a special area or system for making language. Over time we have simply reused or co-opted (指派) parts of our brain for language.”以及全文可知，人类的语言学习是由大脑前区完成的，该区域早于人类本身。所以选D。 【点评】本题
14、考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。2犇犇阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Gardeners such as Prince Charles who claim that talking to plants encourages them to grow have long been seen as a little silly. But scientists have discovered evidence w
15、hich suggests the Royal may actually be right and they could be listening to him. Biologists at Tel Aviv University in Israel have found that flowers can act as a plants ears to help them detect the sound of approaching insects. When the researchers played recordings of flying bees to evening primrose flowers, within three minutes the sugar concentrations in the nectar (花蜜) of its flowers increased. The fluid, produced to attract pollinating (授粉) insects, was on average 20 percent higher in flowers exposed to the buzz compared to those left in silence or exposed to highe
