2023年高考英语复习讲练测第11讲阅读理解细节理解题（练）ASora observed in amazement as Weilun picked up two large metal cans. She followed Weilun with a pail （桶） of clothes, watching him carry the two cans effortlessly. They were large and were covering Weilun's small frame.Sora's father had sent her to the village to learn about rural life. Sora had never once done any household chores back home. She did not understand why her father would always chant “Where is your willingness to learn? whenever she asked him if she could stay home for the holidays. Her father had given her a checklist on the life skills that she needed to learn, one of which was to wash clothes. She recalled washing a table cloth after an art lesson in school. That was a piece of cake, she thought. So Sora refused Weilun's offer to help. Weilun then went to fill the large cans with water at the far end of the river.Suddenly, a big bird dived from the sky when Sora placed the last piece of clothing back in the pail. Sora released her grasp of the pail in shock. Then she was relaxed to find it was aiming for a worm near her. But the clothes were drifting in the river. Weilun immediately came to help and Sora shifted the blame to the bird.He pointed at the detergent foam （洗涤齐ll泡沫）on the surface of the river. "Don，t tell me you rinsed （漂洗） the detergent from the clothes in the river. Don't you know that it may kill the river creatures? You caused the problem, not the bird!” Sora looked down in shame. "You think that you know everything, but you actually don't."Sora closed her eyes to let Weilun9s words sink in for a moment. She finally understood the meaning behind her father's chants. She walked towards Weilun and whispered, "Could you teach me all the life skills that my father had planned for me to learn? 1. Why was Sora amazed?A.

But a fall or other health-threatening incidents can change everything rapidly.The wearable "panic buttons, introduced in the late 1980s were a great advance. But they only work if people actually wear them and can reach the button in an emergency. Today there are passive wearables that automatically detect falls, and camera-based systems to monitor elder safety.Coming from a 40-year career in the semiconductor and wireless communication field, Rafi Zack decided to find a better alternative. "People aren't devoted to wearing small devices 24/7, and camera-based systems are an invasion （侵才E） of privacy,“ he points out, “The most challenging aspect is a fall. How fast we can detect a fall matters because the medical situation worsens quickly. Sometimes people stay on the floor for a long time. We have to find out how to solve that problem.”Zack is a co-founder, CEO and vice president of R&D at EchoCare Technologies which has developed ECHO （Elderly Care Home Observer）, a cloud-connected monitor based on radar technology and machine learning.Because radar sees through walls, one ECHO unit fixed on the ceiling or wall can monitor one person （or two persons, in a future version） in a standard-sized apartment in a senior living facility. The device detects falls, breathing difficulties, drowning in a bathtub and other dangerous events. It gives out warnings to potential health worsening conditions by continuously monitoring and analyzing the person's location, posture（姿势），motion and breath. EchoCare tested the device in the United States, Japan, Australia and Israel. ECHO was certified （认证） in 2019 in Japan with the most aging population in the world."Bathrooms were the main testing area where about 17,000 deadly accidents happen annually." said SMK Director and Executive Vice President Tetsuo Hara. "Bathroom makers, home security service providers and nursing homes are highly interested in EchoCare solution.Zack noted, “As more and more elder people live alone as a result of social distancing, there is an increased need to monitor them without the burden of wearables or privacy-invading cameras.5 . What's the advantage of ECHO over "panic buttons”?A. It has camera-based systems.B. It has been widely accepted.C. It can function without cameras.D. Its buttons can be easily reached.6. What can we know about ECHO from paragraph 5?A. It is designed to send out warnings regularly.B. It monitors dangerous health-related events.C. It was certified in many developed countries.D. It detects more than one person at the same time.7. What can we infer about the future of ECHO?A. It'll become more popular with the elderly.8. It'll stop 17,000 deaths happening annually.9. It'll be used in nursing homes and hospitals.10. It'll help elderly people to live an active life.8. What can be the best title for the passage?A. An Advanced Medical InstrumentA High-tech Monitor for the ElderlyB. The Invention of a Healthcare DeviceThe Improvement of a Medical FacilityCNearly everyone knows eBay is a website where you can buy and sell pretty much anything. There are other Internet auction （拍卖）sites, but none come close to eBay for brand-name recognition. And for good reason: eBay is the largest English-language online auction site in the world. Buyers come to eBay for the best chance of finding the particular thing they want. Sellers come for the largest pool of buyers, which they hope means the best chance of selling at the highest possible price.Buying things on eBay is pretty simple. You can type a term into the search field, or click through the categories list to get to what you want. Inside an individual item listing, you'll see the current asking price, and a little button to click if you wish to place your own bid. Enter a price, occasionally come back to see if someone has bid higher than you and wait for the end of the auction period. If your bid is the highest, you win! Now all you have to do is arrange payment and shipping method with the seller. eBay is only in the business of putting buyers and sellers together for a small fee from the seller. It doesn't handle the actual payment or shipping of goods. In other words, it isn't a big department store, or a warehouse. It9s the owner of a flea market, and you have to do your own deals with the individual sellers in their virtual stalls.To be a skillful eBay buyer, you should learn when to trust sellers and how a proxy （代理人）bid can save you from going online every half-hour to up your bid. Experienced eBay users also know how to use escrows （公 正托管）to guarantee goods, and how to avoid selling tricks such as fake bids that push up prices. The more often you buy on eBay, the more you learn.9. Why is eBay the best website for people to buy and sell things?A. Because it has all brand products.B. Because the trade language is English.C. Because sellers and buyers can close their deals.D. Because sellers can find a swimming pool there.10. What should you do first if you want to buy something at the site?A.

What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?A. How to be a skillful buyer at eBay. B , How to make sure of qualified goods. C. How to avoid being cheated by others. D. How to spare you from going online frequently.DThe use of AI （artificial intelligence） is becoming more common in many branches of industry and online shopping. Traditional lines of work, such as goods transport and driving, are developing in a similar direction although mainly out of public view. Scientists at the University of Gottingen have now investigated how efficient （高效的）the use of AI can be in the commercial management of trucks."Digital applications一as well as machine leaning, a kind of AI-are increasingly applied to operations and courses in the transport area,“ explains Professor Matthias Klumpp from the Faculty of Economics. "The question in the commercial area, however, is whether or not this contributes to achieving goals.”To answer this question, the researchers compared the work efficiency of truck drivers with their main use of AI applications. Looking at trade delivery by truck, they studied three groups: the first drove completely following human decision-making models; the second used a combination of human and machine; and the third depended completely on fully automated decisions.The researchers found that an intelligent combination of human work and decision-making abilities with AI applications promises the highest transport and driving efficiency. "On average, the second group achieved the most efficient transport trips, with the fewest interventions （干预）and off-course from the best path." one researcher said, “Clearly, neither a completely human decision-making structure nor a fully automated driving system can promise to meet current goods transport requirements.,9 The scientists therefore summarized that despite the progress of AI in the field of transportation by truck, human experience and decision-making abilities will still be necessary in the longer term. However, the challenge is that a wide range of training and qualification （资格）needs will come along by working with Al applications, especially for simple goods transport activities. 13. What does Matthias Klumpp focus on?A . The efficiency of AL B The advantages of AL C. The problems caused by AI. D. The wide applications of AL 14. How did the researchers get the finding?A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By using different trucks.D. By listing three experiments.15 . What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Al is better at making decisions.B. A balance is needed between human and ALHuman will soon be replaced by AI in driving.C. Al applications meet the current requirements. 16. What is the best title for the text?A. The future of transport.B. Artificial intelligence as a co-driver.C. Artificial intelligence-a better choice in driving.D. The strengths of artificial intelligence in transport.EJust as a hungry brain craves （渴望）food, a lonely brain craves people. A new brain study demonstrates this. After being left alone, it shows people's brains would be activated at the sight of other people. The action was in the same brain region that speeds up when a hungry person sees food.Livia Tomova, a neuroscientist, who studies how the brain produces mental activities, and her colleagues began this study. They recruited （招募）40 people. On one day, the participants had to fastnot eat anything at all-for 10 hours. On another day, the same people were placed in a room for 10 hours. They couldnl see anyone. No friends, no family and no social media. They weren't even allowed to check their email. After both days, Tomova and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is flowing to each region.At the end of each day, the participants showed high activity in a brain area called the midbrain. The scientists were interested in two, small areas within it. Both areas produce dopamine, a chemical that is important in craving and rewards. The two areas activated when hungry participants saw pictures of tasty pizza or juicy hamburgers. After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed. It might be playing sports or chatting with friends.The midbrain plays an important part in people's motivation to seek food or friends. In fact, it responds to food and social signals even when people aren't hungry or lonely. But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and made people's responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain. Tomova and her colleagues published their results November 23 in Nature Neuroscience.17. How does Tomova test out the result of the study?A. By stimulating desire.B. By controlling blood flow.C. By monitoring brain activity.D. By examining mental activities.18 . What do we know about midbrain?A. It consists of two areas.B. It helps motivate desire for food.C. It stops working when people are full. D. It decreases responses to lost friends.19. What does the underlined "it" in paragraph 3 refer to?A. A midbrain area. B. A social activity.20. What can be the best title for the text?A. Dopamine-a Sure Sign of AgeC. Hunger Makes Mental Health StruggleC. A volunteer. D. A hamburger.B. Midbrain一a Nest for the ThoughtsD. Loneliness Makes Our Brains Need PeopleFBlack Valley, 63 kilometers from downtown Chongqing, is one of the best preserved natural wonders around the municipality. The national 5A-level scenic spot is a popular summer resort for sightseeing, forest adventures, outdoor camping, hunting and angling.Located in Heishan town, Wansheng Economic Development Zone, the scenic spot spans over 103 square kilometers, 97 percent of which are covered by primitive forests. With over 110,000 negative oxygen ions in each cubic centimeter of air, it is dubbed as a natural oxygen bar and “the most be
