2022届高考英语阅读理解专项训练（三）A阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案.Whenever a new technology begins to affect society, we hear arguments about the "soulless （没有灵 魂的）modern way“ and the "good old days", when things were slower. ? Often the older generation complains about the younger one.This debate heated up again recently when The Beijing News reported that nearly 70 percent of young people in China speed-watch videos and shows online. It can be concluded that today9s youth are so caught up in the fast pace of modern life that they can no longer give something their full attention.There may be some truth to this, but is it the only truth?I am one of these so-called speed-watchers. I tend to play South Korean soap operas - the 2014 sensation （大热居U） Man From the Stars （来自星星的你）,for example - at 1.5x or 2x speed. The reason is simple. I want to know what the fuss is about and I don't want to be left out of conversations online and with friends. I also speed-listen to informative audio, like TED talks and lectures, with the sole purpose of taking in as much information as possible.But there are films and podcasts that deserve my full attention - and they will have it. When watching the likes of Downton Abbey （唐顿庄园）or Game of Thrones （权利的游戏）,to name two, I won't skim past even a second of the action. Every long pause and change of emotion carry meaning that would be lost by speed-watching.So perhaps the debate shouldn't be about which one is better - the fast life or the slow one. Instead, it's about understanding whafs really important to you and taking control of the time you want to spend on it.“This is the future of how we will appreciate television and movies,“ wrote reporter Jeff Guo on The Washington Post. “We will watch videos in new ways using our powers of time manipulation （控制）.We will be watching on our own terms.”Indeed, there is no fast or slow there is only your own terms, and your own pace.1.

Young Chinese people like to watch videos at faster speed.D. Young people are more likely to be happy with their lives. 2. Why does the author share her own experience?A. To complain about the quality of recent TV series.B. To stress the importance of common interests with friends.C. To tell readers what she thinks a good TV product is like.D. To share how she chooses different speeds to watch videos.3. Which of the following would the author probably agree with?A. Slow down to enjoy life.B. Live life at your own pace.C. Follow the lifestyle of the majority.D. Hurry up to take in as much as you can.B阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案Ancient Egyptians believed in life after death and that the soul would return to the body. One requirement was the preservation （保存）of the body. To achieve this, Egyptians followed a process called mummification （木乃伊化）.However, it was not only humans who were mummified. Animals were also mummified and placed in tombs （坟墓）to either provide company for the dead or serve as a sacrifice （祭品）to gods.Egyptian animal mummies look like little more than bundles of （成捆的）cloth. It was difficult for scientists to know much about them beyond what animals they were - until now.A team of researchers led by engineer Richard Johnston from Swansea University, UK, have used new technology to examine the remains （遗骸）of a snake, a bird and a cat that lived over 2,000 years ago.According to Science Daily, the researchers used X-ray micro CT scanning to digitally （数字 化上也）unwrap and dissect （解剖）the mummified animals without causing damage. The scans were very detailed, down to the animals' smallest bones and teeth.The micro CT works by taking thousands of individual X-rays from all angles （角度）while the mummy rotates （旋转）360 degrees. The 3D scans can then be printed or placed into virtual reality （VR,虚拟现实）.“With VR, I can effectively make the cat skull （颅骨）as big as my house and wander around it J Johnston told Science News.This way, the team was able to get a glimpse into the lives and deaths of these animals.Based on the teeth that had not grown out, scientists predicted that the cat was less than five months old when it was strangled （勒死）to death. The snake died as a result of a whipping （鞭打） action, but also may have had kidney （肾）damage, possibly due to a lack of water.The animal mummies "provide a glimpse into the distant past, like a time capsule （时间胶囊）: Johnston told AFP.Thanks to this groundbreaking technology, the secrets in the “time capsules”, for example, the cause of death of those ancient Egyptian mummies, are revealed.4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs about mummification in ancient Egypt?A. The mummification process of humans and animals is different.B. Ancient Egyptians mummified animals mainly to serve gods.C. Scientists made many discoveries through animal mummies.D. It was considered an important part of achieving life after death.5. What did the researchers do to study animal mummies?A. They had to damage them to see them clearly.B. They took the bones and teeth out of the mummies.C. They used X-ray micro CT scanning to tell what animals they were.D. They used technology to find out how the animals lived back then.6. What did Johnston think of the study of animal mummies?A. It tells something about the past.B. It doesn't have much scientific value.C. It pushes scientists to develop new technology.D. It encourages scientists to make time capsules.C阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案My family is still recovering from the terrible times of the past couple of years.
