考点规范练30 Unit 5 The power of nature.阅读理解A(2019·江苏)In the 1960s,while studying the volcanic history of Yellowstone National Park,Bob Christiansen became puzzled about something that,oddly,had not troubled anyone before:he couldnt find the parks volcano.It had been known for a long time that Yellowstone was volcanic in naturethats what accounted for all its hot springs and other steamy features.But Christiansen couldnt find the Yellowstone volcano anywhere.Most of us,when we talk about volcanoes,think of the classic cone(圆锥体) shapes of a Fuji or Kilimanjaro,which are created when erupting magma(岩浆) piles up.These can form remarkably quickly.In 1943,a Mexican farmer was surprised to see smoke rising from a small part of his land.In one week he was the confused owner of a cone five hundred feet high.Within two years it had topped out at almost fourteen hundred feet and was more than half a mile across.Altogether there are some ten thousand of these volcanoes on Earth,all but a few hundred of them extinct.There is,however,a second less known type of volcano that doesnt involve mountain building.These are volcanoes so explosive that they burst open in a single big crack,leaving behind a vast hole,the caldera.Yellowstone obviously was of this second type,but Christiansen couldnt find the caldera anywhere.Just at this time NASA decided to test some new high-altitude cameras by taking photographs of Yellowstone.A thoughtful official passed on some of the copies to the park authorities on the assumption that they might make a nice blow-up for one of the visitors centers.As soon as Christiansen saw the photos,he realized why he had failed to spot the caldera:almost the whole park2.2 million acreswas caldera.The explosion had left a hole more than forty miles acrossmuch too huge to be seen from anywhere at ground level.At some time in the past Yellowstone must have blown up with a violence far beyond the scale of anything known to humans.1.What puzzled Christiansen when he was studying Yellowstone?A.Its complicated geographical features.B.Its ever-lasting influence on tourism.C.The mysterious history of the park.D.The exact location of the volcano.2.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?A.The shapes of volcanoes.B.The impacts of volcanoes.C.The activities of volcanoes.D.The heights of volcanoes.3.What does the underlined word“blow-up”in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.Hot-air balloon.B.Digital camera.C.Big photograph.D.Birds view.B(2016·北京)SurvivingHurricaneSandy(飓风桑迪)Natalie Doan,14,has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway,New York.Living just a few blocks from the beach,Natalie can see the ocean and hear the waves from her house.“Its the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.On October 29,2012,that ocean turned fierce.That night,Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast,and Rockaway was hit especially hard.Fortunately,Natalies family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the citys bridges closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day,they found their neighborhood in ruins.Many of Natalies friends had lost their homes and were living far away.All around her,people were suffering,especially the elderly.Natalies school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days,the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie.Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys.Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild.Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.“My mom tells me that I cant control what happens to me,”Natalie says,“but I can always choose how I deal with it.”Natalies choice was to help.She created a website page,matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help.Natalie posted information about a boy named Patrick,who lost his baseball card collection when his house burned down.Within days,Patricks collection was replaced.In the coming months,her website page helped lots of kids:Christopher,who received a new basketball;Charlie,who got a new keyboard.Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-needed supplies to Rockaway.Her efforts made her a famous person.Last April,she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today,the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway,but hope is in the air.The streets are clear,and many homes have been rebuilt.“I cant imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,”Natalie declares.“My neighborhood will be back,even stronger than before.”4.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane,she found . A.some friends had lost their livesB.her neighborhood was destroyedC.her school had moved to BrooklynD.the elderly were free from suffering5.According to Paragraph 4,who inspired Natalie most?A.The people helping Rockaway rebuild.B.The people trapped in high-rise buildings.C.The volunteers donating money to survivors.D.Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people.6.How did Natalie help the survivors?A.She gave her toys to other kids.B.She took care of younger children.C.She called on the White House to help.D.She built an information sharing platform.7.What does the story intend to tell us?A.Little people can make a big difference.B.A friend in need is a friend indeed.C.East or west,home is best.D.Technology is power.七选五阅读Every scientific field uses the scientific method to conduct experiments.Performing experiments is very important in the field of psychology(心理学).Before beginning a study,however,any scientist who wishes to perform an experiment should be familiar with the steps of the scientific method.1 Form a hypothesis(假设).It is an educated guess about what will happen during the study.2 Coming up with a hypothesis before you start can help guide your experiment. Plan out a study.Planning out the experiment is essential because psychologists need to know if they have time,materials,and testing areas prepared beforehand.This step also helps the scientists to determine if they will be performing descriptive or experimental research.The ideal situation is to always perform experimental research.3 Descriptive research simply collects data regarding the problem and forms a hypothesis according to the data. Collect data.4 If the data collected is not recorded and organized,the entire efforts of the study may be wasted.The best way to do this may be to record the proceedings so that no details are lost. Analyze the data.Once all the data has been collected and organized,it must be analyzed.Using previous research or scientific information about the problem,psychologists must apply the new data gathered.Publish the information learned.The final step of the scientific method in psychology is publishing the results of the study.5 Most psychological experiments are published in scientific journals. A.It is based on scientific facts,not just opinions.B.Read on to find out how to use the scientific method in psychology.C.Before psychologists start the experiment,they must plan out the steps.D.This helps other psychologists to learn about and use the new information.E.The scientific method has proved to be an effective way to conduct research.F.To fully understand the study,each part of the experiment must be recorded.G.Sometimes,however,this is impossible and descriptive research will have to be used.短文改错(2019·全国)Since I was a kid,Ive considered different job I would like to do.First,I wanted to be a fireman,whose uniform looked so coolly.Then,when I was in the five grade,I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher too much.When I studied chemistry high school,I reconsidered my goal or decided to be a doctor.They were two reasons for the decision.One was that I was amazing at the fact that a sick person could feel much more better after seeing a doctor.And the other is that I wanted to help people in need.考点规范练30(选修6Unit5).【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。上世纪六十年代,BobChristiansen在研究黄石公园的火山历史时,遇到了一个困惑的问题,他找不到曾经喷发过的火山的遗址。后来,通过一些照片,他明白了事情的真相。1.D细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“hecouldntfindtheparksvolcano”可知,让Christiansen困惑的是火山的确切位置。2.A段落大意题。根据第二段的主要内容,特别是“Thereis,however,asecondlessknowntypeofvolcano.”可知,该段主要介绍了火山因为类型不同,所以形状不同。3.C词义猜测题。根据该段第一句中的“takingphotographs”以及第三句中的“thephotos”可推断,画线单词指的就是“照片”。【解题导语】本文为记叙文。文章从纳塔莉的视角出发,讲述了飓风桑迪过后,人们对恢复灾区原貌所做的努力,重点描写了纳塔莉本人通过建立网站匹配需求者与捐赠者。彰显在灾难面前,小人物也可以大有作为的真理。4.B细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,纳塔莉第二天回到家时,发现她们的居住区已变成一片废墟。5.A细节理解题。根据第四段第一句中的“.themenandwomenhelpingRockawayrecoverinspiredNatalie.”可知,帮助洛克威重建的人们使Natalie最受鼓舞。6.D细节理解题。根据第七段第一句可知,她建立了一个网站,将需要帮助的幸存者和想要帮助灾民的捐赠者进行匹配。故选D项(她建立了一个信息共享平台)。7.A主旨大意题。纳塔莉作为一个年仅14岁的小女孩,在飓风席卷家乡后,通过建立网站匹配需求者与捐赠者,使得许许多多需要帮助的人得到了帮助。本文彰显了在灾难面前,小人物也可以大有作为的真理。故选A项。B项意为“患难见真情”;C项意为“金窝银窝,不如自己的狗窝”;D项意为“技术就是力量”;均不符合文意。.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要阐明了如何在心理学实验中使用科学的方法。1.B根据空前的thescientificmethod可知选B项,用来指明如何在心理学实验中使用科学的方法。2.A根据本段第一句“Formahypothesis.”以及空后的“Comingupwithahypothesisbeforeyoustartcanhelpguideyourexperiment.”可知,本段主要阐述了心理学实验的第一步:形成一个假设,以科学事实而不仅仅是观点为根据。故A项正确。3.G空前的toalwaysperformexperimentalresearch与G项中的this相对应;空后的Descriptiveresearch与G选项中的descriptiveresearch相对应,用以阐明描述性研究的特点,故G项正确。4.F根据空后的“Ifthedatacollectedisnotrecordedandorganized,theentireeffortsofthestudymaybewasted.”和recordtheproceedings可以判断,空处阐述的是将数据记录下来的重要性,故F项正确。5.D根据该段首句“Publishtheinformationlearned.”可知,该段主要阐述将实验得出的结论公开出版,故选D项,这有助于其他心理学家学习和使用新的信息。.SinceIwasakid,Iveconsidereddifferentjobjobs I would like to do.First,I wanted to be a fireman,whose uniform looked so coollycool.Then,when I was in the fivefifth grade,I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher toovery/so much.When I studied chemistry in/at high school,I reconsidered my goal orand decided to be a doctor.TheyThere were two reasons for the decision.One was that I was amazingamazedat the fact that a sick person could feel much more better after seeing a doctor.And the other iswas that I wanted to help people in need.7
