專題限時(shí)集訓(xùn)(六)推理判斷之寫作意圖/目的AI decided to ski to the North Pole.It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole.Back in 1996，there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge.I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds，so I sent off for the application form.The application form full of pictures of male explorers arrived.The words“Are you man enough for the ultimate(極限的) challenge？”made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team，and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group.In one test，there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb，and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights.I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past，leaving me behind.But two others helped me over，and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals，but great team players，and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.I had revealed(顯示) my weakness，and in a place like the Arctic，you have to be yourself，as there is nowhere to hide.There personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master.I realized that by being myself，I could succeed.I was selected for the team.I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imaginedmore importantly，by sharing my story with others，I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文主要講述了作者申請(qǐng)加入去北極的滑雪隊(duì)，并成功加入的故事。1How did the author react on seeing the advertisement?AShe got cross.BShe was determined.CShe got frightened.DShe was uninterested.B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)對(duì)第一段的整體理解，尤其是第一、二句可知，作者看到這個(gè)廣告后就下定決心要去北極滑雪。2What did the organizers view as the most important in the selection of new hands?APersonal quality.BIndividual ability.CSpirit of teamwork.DCourage to challenge.C考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段的最后一句可推知，團(tuán)隊(duì)組織者挑選新隊(duì)員時(shí)認(rèn)為最重要的一點(diǎn)就是隊(duì)員們要有團(tuán)隊(duì)合作精神。3What does the author think of women's showing weakness?ABeneficial.BShameful.CMerciful. DDisturbing.A考查推理判斷。 根據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容，尤其是第二句可推知，女性展示軟弱是有用的。4What's the intention of the author in writing this passage?ATo inspire us to prepare for our future goal.BTo advise women to turn to others.CTo make suggestions to her team members.DTo encourage people to explore the unknown.D考查寫作意圖。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句可知，作者寫這篇文章的目的是鼓勵(lì)人們?nèi)ヌ剿魑粗氖澜纭Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us.Not all travel experiences，however，need to take place in the real world.With the evolution of virtual reality(VR) technology，tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual world. VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.But can a VR experience really equal a real world？Many experts believe it can.Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR­like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences.Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future.This is known as“mind wandering”During these events we're not paying attention to the current world around us.Instead，we're recalling memories，or creating and processing imagined futures.When engaged in mind wandering，our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world.So，the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life.VR can create these same feelings.While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality，there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution.Firstly it could help protect sensitive locations from overtourism.In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand，have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact.These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time，to experience historical events，visit ancient cities，and even to walk among dinosaurs.Finally，in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork，virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge their batteries，without ever leaving their homes.It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening(流行的)As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences，more virtual tourism will be expected，both in combination with the real world and instead of it【語(yǔ)篇解讀】隨著虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)的發(fā)展，旅游業(yè)將日益成為客觀世界和虛擬世界的結(jié)合體。5What is driving the development of virtual tourism?ACompanies seeking to make more money.BImprovements in virtual reality technology.CPeople's demand for more shared experiences.DPeople's deeper understanding of the physical world.B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段第三句“With the evolution of virtual reality (VR) technology，tourism will.and virtual world”可知，虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)技術(shù)的進(jìn)步促進(jìn)了虛擬旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展。故選B。6Which of the following best describes“mind wandering”？AThe brain processes which help people think VR is real.BThe way the brain processes inputs from the real world.CBrain activities focusing on past or future events.DExperiences coming from a person's imagination.C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future.This is known asmind wandering”可知，大腦漫游是指我們的大腦關(guān)注過去或未來(lái)的活動(dòng)。故選C。7What does the underlined word“it”in the last paragraph refer to?AScience fiction. BVirtual technology.CVirtual tourism.DThe real world.D考查代詞指代。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句中的“both in combination with the real world and instead of it”并結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可推知，代詞it在這里指代上文中出現(xiàn)的“the real world”。故選D。8What is the purpose of the passage?ATo describe the advantages of VR tourism.BTo give suggestions for reducing overtourism.CTo encourage people to develop VR technology.DTo argue that VR tourism will replace the real world travel.A考查寫作意圖。本文前三段主要介紹了虛擬旅游業(yè)興起的原因以及虛擬現(xiàn)實(shí)的運(yùn)行原理，后四段主要介紹了虛擬旅游業(yè)的好處。由此可知，本文是為了介紹虛擬旅游業(yè)的優(yōu)勢(shì)。故選A。COne form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology.Activities like playing computer games，going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters.Isn't it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement.Mental activity，as well as physical exercise，can contribute to better health.Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced，most older people didn't believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it.Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun.Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games.Kate Stevens，aged 72，says，“I find it very relaxing. It's not very demanding，but you still need to concentrate.”Another development that has favored“grey gamers” is a change in the type of videogames available on the market.There's a greater variety of games to choose from，including more intellectual and complex strategy and simulation(模擬) games.Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these.Train Simulator is based on real­world activities.Players can choose from a variety of challengers，such as keeping to a strict­timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply don't have the skills required for computer games，and that teenagers are better.This couldn't be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice，which means that the “grey gamers” may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them.In games where speed is the main consideration，older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time.On the other hand，“grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced，mind challenging games.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章分析了當(dāng)今老年人的身心狀況、社會(huì)地位以及他們?cè)陔娔X游戲方面的優(yōu)秀表現(xiàn)等。9The second paragraph is intended to Ashow the best way to exercise the brainBstress the importance of good healthCexplain why “grey gamers” existDteach how to play video gamesC考查寫作意圖。根據(jù)第二段可知，當(dāng)今的老年人對(duì)自己的生活有更多的支配權(quán)。更好的醫(yī)療保健讓他們即便六七十歲仍然身體硬朗。不僅身心方面的鍛煉有助于健康，而且玩電腦游戲也有助于鍛煉大腦。由此可知，對(duì)于老年人來(lái)說，玩電腦是很正常的活動(dòng)。所以第二段是為了說明為什么現(xiàn)在有很多老齡游戲玩家的存在。故C項(xiàng)正確。10What was older people's attitude towards personal computers at first?ADoubtful.BConcerned.CEnthusiastic.DSupportive.A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段第一句“When personal computers were first introduced，most older people didn't believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it.”可知，老年人起初對(duì)電腦持懷疑態(tài)度。故A項(xiàng)正確。11The method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4 is Aoffering analysesBgiving examplesCmaking comparisonsDproviding detailsB考查寫作手法。通讀第四段可知，第四段首句講另一個(gè)有利于老齡玩家的發(fā)展是在市場(chǎng)上可找到的電子游戲的類型的改變，然后通過舉例介紹了Internet Chess和Train Simulator這樣的游戲。所以作者采用了舉例說明的方法。故B項(xiàng)正確。12By saying“This couldn't be further from the truth.” in Paragraph 5，the author means Amind challenging games are not suitable for older peopleBchildren should improve their skills with practiceCplaying computer games requires analytical thinkingDolder people can perform well in some computer gamesD考查句意理解。根據(jù)畫線句前面的內(nèi)容可知，有些人認(rèn)為老齡玩家不具備電腦游戲所需要的技巧，而年輕人就好多了；再根據(jù)其后面的內(nèi)容可知，大多數(shù)電腦游戲都需要一種經(jīng)過實(shí)踐不斷改進(jìn)的分析能力，這意味著老齡玩家可能比年輕玩家要優(yōu)秀得多。由此可推知，畫線句的意思是對(duì)其前內(nèi)容的否定，即老年人在一些電腦游戲中表現(xiàn)很不錯(cuò)。故D項(xiàng)正確。
