20 23年高考英语复习一一高三英语阅读理解专项练习（七）AA new test for COVID-19 is coming to store shelves throughout the U.S.This is the first test for thedisease that you can do at home.It does not need a prescription,or doctors approval,to use.Currently,the U.S.is testing nearly 2 million people daily,and most health experts agree thecountry needs to be testing many more people than that.Most tests still require a nasal swab（鼻拭子）performed by a health professional,followed by processing at a laboratory.That typicallymeans you have to wait days for the test results.For months,health experts have stressed the need for fast,widespread home testing,which allowspeople to screen themselves and avoid contact with others if they have an infection.With this newhome test,people can“swab their nose,run the test and find out their results in as little as 20minutes/said FDA commissioner Stephen Hahn.The test kit includes a small tool to help you to take nasal swab,or sample from inside your nose.Once you swab your nostril（鼻孑L）you place the swab onto a small cartridge.This cartridgeanalyzes the sample and sends the results to an app on your smartphone.The app displays theresults and then helps you interpret them.Users can also connect with a health professionalthrough the app.Ellumes test works differently than other tests.Most tests look for the genetic material of the virus.This is the material that hakes up its genes,which influence how the virus looks and acts.However,Ellumes test looks for proteins that the virus sheds（散发）.These viral proteins are large moleculesthat can trigger a response from your immune system,which is the collection of cells and theirresponses that help the body fight off infections.Like other COVID-19 tests that look for proteins,日lumes test still has a shall chance of errors.FDAofficials say that people who get a negative result but still have coronavirus symptoms shouldfollow up with a doctor.Although the price of the test could prevent some people from using it,Dr.Michael Mina,aprofessor at Harvard University in Cambridge,Massachusetts,called the new test a great addition”to existing options.1.What is the problem with current testing in the U.S.?A.It is not efficient enough.B.It leads to poor management.C.It based on nasal swabs.D.It results in outbreak of virus.2.What is the right procedure for home testing?a.analyze the sampleb.send

people.B.It has a great chance of errors.C.Its an addition to existing options.D.It causes people to get infected.4.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.Smartphone apps for analysis.B.A tool for taking Nasal swab.C.More options for recovering.D.Home test for COVID-19.BPlenty of films are somewhat incomprehensible,but a movie is in a language that only about 20people in the world can speak fluently.A feature film titled SGaneaay Kuuna,translated as Edge of the Knife,is in the Haida language,theancestral tongue of the Haida people of British Columbia,Canada It is unrelated to any otherlanguage,and actors had to learn it to understand their lines.The film is playing an important role in preserving the language,its director Gwai Edenshaw said.“I know that,if our language is this far gone,statistically its supposed to be over.But thats notsomething that were willing to accept/The Haida are an indigenous（土 著 的）community whose traditional territory is Haida GwaiiEdenshaw said most of the fluent Haida speakers were in his Haida Gwaii homeland.Thecommunity generally lives off the sea and makes dugout canoes and houses from local red cedars.Their numbers were ravaged by smallpox and other diseases in the 19h century.A formerpopulation of tens of thousands has declined to a few thousand today.The few Haida speakers are extremely concerned about the languages future and were veryenthusiastic about the film.More than 70 local people worked on the production,with Haidaspeakers taking incidental roles,weavers creating the costumes and other craftspeople makingprops.The film,set on Haida Gwaii in the 19th century,is based on an old Haida myth about a man whosurvives an accident at sea,only to become so weakened that he is taken over by supernaturalbeings.It is part of a wider push to preserve the Haida language,including a new dictionary and recordingsof local voices.Mark Turin,associate professor at the University of British Columbia,said that Haida is amonglanguages that have been“pushed almost to the edge“and that,while numerous indigenouscommunities worldwide are trying to revive（复 舌）their language,the Haida people have taken anunusual approach.This film has done something that I dont think Ive ever seen before,using afeature movie as a process of language revitalization.Its a hugely creative and powerfulcommitment for the community to have made/he said.5.What do we know about the Haida language?A.It is forever gone.B.It is easy to learn.C.It is well preserved.D.It is highly endangered.6.What does the underlined word“ravaged“in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Greatly reduced.B.Slightly increased.C.Stabilized.D.Determined.7.What do we know about SGaateay Kuuna?A.It is based on a true story.B.Locals contribute to its production.C.Most Haida speakers lack interest in it.D.It helps promote the Haida publications.8.What does Mark Turin think of using a film to revive a language?A.It is innovative.B.It is outdated.C.It is unacceptable.D.It is debatable.COn paper;hydrogen looks like a dream fuel.In practice,things are trickier.Storing meaningfulquantities of hydrogen gas requires compressing（压缩）it several hundred times.Transforming itinto liquid state is another option,but one that requires cooling the stuff to-2530.Either processrequires rugged tanks.Over time,hydrogen gas can pass slowly into metals,weakening them andpotentially causing cracks.Tanks must be built from special materials designed to resist thisbreakdown.Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute led by Marcus Vogt,think that supplying hydrogen as goop（糊状）offers a way around some of its limitations.They have been experimenting with a chemicalcompound that can be pumped into a container and then persuaded to give off its hydrogen ondemand.Their invention which they nickname“powerpaste”,looks like toothpaste.Its main ingredient ismagnesium hydride,a compound that when introduced to water;reacts with it to form hydrogenand magnesium hydroxide.The escaped hydrogen can then be redirected into a fuel cell,where itreacts with oxygen from the air to generate electric power.The magnesium hydroxide waste isemptied from the reactor automatically.Dr Vogts scheme offers several advantages over batteries,petrol and more conventional ways ofhandling hydrogen.One is the storage of energy than either batteries or petrol can manage.Asecond is ease of refilling,which is simply a matter of swapping an empty container of paste for afull one,and topping up the water,which is stored in a separate tank.A third advantage is that,unlike a battery,the paste does not gradually lose its stored energy if it is left on the shelf.Moreover;the paste itself is harmless,as are the reactions by-products.But there are still more to work through.Magnesium hydride reacts only slowly with water.Toovercome this,Dr Vogt and his team have found a chemical additive that greatly accelerates thereaction.They have also found a way to ensure that the reaction can be controlled precisely enoughto supply only as much hydrogen as is needed at any given moment.9.Which of the following best explains“rugged underlined in paragraph 1?A.Creative.B.Fragile.C.Tough.D.Enormous.10.What can we know about the invention according to paragraph 3?A.Magnesium hydride mixed with water releases hydrogen.B.Several chemical reactions occur in the same tank.C.Water and electricity are necessary in the process.D.The remaining waste needs removing with extra help.11.How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?A.By providing examples.B.By drawing comparisons.C.By quoting sayings.D.By explaining a concept.12.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Dream Fuel:Hydrogen Gas B.New Clean EnergyC.Advantages of Hydrogen Goop D.Toothpaste“in Your TankDIn September 2017,Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico,killing 3,000 people and affecting normal lifefor months.The storm first arrived on a small island off the main island/s eastern coast called CayoSantiago,which is home to some 1,500 rhesus macaques（，恒学 可 猴）.To everyones surprise,nearlyall the monkeys survived the storm.The monkeys reacted by changing their social order,it turnedout.After the storm,the observers noticed that the monkeys seemed to become more tolerant.Werethey really more tolerant of one another?To find out,the new paper compares two behaviorsduring the three years before the storm and for one year afterward.The team assumed that the monkeys would strengthen existing bonds,but that is not whathappened./zWe saw active building of relationships with individuals that they didnt really interactwith before/says Michael Platt.That probably came largely from the need for shade,which had become a limited resource afterthe hurricane./zWhat types of social relationships are going to be most helpful if what you need isrelief from the Caribbean sun?says behavioral ecologist Lauren Brent.The best solution mightbe to expand areas,make some new connections,and make sure youve always got some shadeavailable.Imagine walking into a crowded bar and trying to find a seat at a table:the more peopleyou know,the more likely you are to be able to sit down.”When humans face natural disasters,we often behave as the macaques did,coming together as acommunity and reaching out to help strangers.Unfortunately,those have largely been limited bythe social distancing restrictions necessitated by COVID 19,Platt says.Instead,during COVID-19,we have had to do the opposite of what the monkeys did.This paper is only the teams first study on the macaques after Hurricane Maria.Its going to bereally exciting,as we dig into all of this biological data that we have/Platt says.Were going to beable to lean things from these monkeys that we have not been able to learn from humans or fromany other animal.13.How did nearly all rhesus macaques survive the storm?A.By seeking safer habitats together.B.By building broader social networks.C.By strengthening their current bonds.D.By tolerating their former partners.14.How does Lauren Brent explain the argument?A.By making a comparison.B.By introducing a concept.C.By using an experts words.D.By referring to another study.15.What does the underlined word“those in Paragraph 5 refer to?A.Our communicative behaviors.B.Natural disasters.C.Communities and strangers.D.Rhesus macaques.16.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Platt is unsatisfied with the results of the study.B.Platt wants to collect more data about the macaques.C.Platt will continue the study on the rhesus macaques.D.Platt will conduct similar studies on other animals.答案：A 篇：ABADB 篇：DABAC篇：CABDD 篇：BAAC
