2020版高考英语阅读理解一轮提升选练（19）（含解析）

1 2019 版高考英语阅读理解一轮提升选练（19） 李仕才 A (2017·兰州高考诊断考试) Most episodes of absentmindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter.“You’re supposed to remember something, but you haven’t encoded it deeply.” Encoding，Schacter explains，is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create an annoying situation. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe(衣 柜). “Your memory itself isn’t failing you, ” says Schacter. “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed. ” Lack of interest can also lead to absentmindedness. “A man who recites sports statistics from 30 years ago, ”says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memory than men, possibly because they are more interested in what’s happening around them, and memory relies on just that. Visual cues(提示) can help prevent absentmindedness, says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available, ”he cautions. If you want to remember to take a medication with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket. Another common episode of absentmindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time, ” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember. 1．What does the underlined word “episodes” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A．Experiences. B．Experiments. C．Expressions. D．Feelings. 2 2．According to the passage, women have better memory than men probably because________． A．they have a wider range of interests B．they always put things where they were C．they pay more attention to their environment D．they prefer to write notes to tell themselves what they should do 3．What can help prevent absentmindedness according to Schacter? A．Writing notes. B．Taking some medicine. C．Putting something in sight. D．Returning to where you were. 4．What is the best title for the text? A．A Way of Recalling B．The Importance of Encoding C．Cures for Absentmindedness D．Causes and Coping Strategies of Absentmindedness 参考答案 1—4、ACCD B (2015·山西大学附中第五次月考) Paper is a cheap and accessible medium that can produce beautiful results.To most people，making a paper plane could be one of the simplest things to do.It’s the simplest and easiest form of paper art.And paper art can be traced back to Japan, where it originated over a thousand years ago.However, there’s a special minority who takes paper art to the next level，magically turning the plain white or colored paper into 3 some of the most amazing artworks.Check out the following artists and their works! The Danish artist Peter Callesen is famous for his talent in combining the minimalism(极简的) of a white sheet of paper with the complexity of carefully cut and folded paper and uses the two to build out some pleasing works. The British artist Su Blackwell often goes to secondhand bookstores—to look for materials with which she can carve out delicate sculptures.The models look as if they “grow” naturally from the pages of the books.The artist finds inspiration from the book title or a paragraph or picture inside and then spends months carefully slicing each one into an eyecatching paper model.Her old book sculptures sell for up to ￡5， 000 each. By carefully folding simple pieces of paper, German artist Simon Schubert creates amazing masterpieces.He turns paper into architectural masterpieces by folding a simple piece of paper to shape the creases(褶痕), then unfolding it to show the fascinating artwork. Another master of paperfolding is Jen Stark.Her artwork is often in the form of colorful caves and topographic(地形的) maps.Using her vivid imagination and a special knife, she is a modern day magician who turns humble materials like construction paper and glue into fantastic，complicated sculptures that puzzle the eyes.Her work draws inspiration from nature. 1．According to the passage, paper art ________． A．is about planefolding B．is most prosperous in Japan 4 C．dates back to 1000 B．C.

The amounts of resources we consumed are like footprints.They show whose lifestyles are a burden on the earth and whose lifestyles are not.Because a few people eat up most of the earth’s resources, the majority have to bear the consequences —like pollution. This is the ecological footprints that the earth keeps in its memory. Some years ago, a famous expert, called William Rees, developed this idea of the ecological footprints.Today, this idea has become like a magnifying glass(放大镜)．It allows us to see whether we are living lives in a way that keeps the earth in a reasonably good shape.Once the earth goes out of shape, there is no hope for human beings. Countries like the United States and Canada have big ecological footprints.Rees calculated that the average amount of energy and materials consumed by a Canadian is what a land of 4.3 hectares can produce.India has a footprint of 0.4.This means that 8 the energy and materials consumed by an Indian is what 0.4 hectares of land can produce.But if we look more carefully，we will find that even within India, the footprints of the city Indian are much larger than the rural Indian. 1．Which of the following is the best title for this text?

The products displayed at the entrance? Or the soft background music? But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase. A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent. When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to 10 a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar shops(实 体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this. Now, a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent. 1.

Which statement would the writer agree with? A.Put different shop on the products on display. B.Ask every shop assistant to wear light perfume. C.Place fragrant flowers in the shop D.Expose some coffee bean to air inside a coffee shop. 4. The main purpose of the passage is to ______ . A. compare and evaluate 11 B. examine and assess C. inform and explain D. argue and discuss 【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了采用香味提高销售量的理念。文章讲述了香味 对于传统实体店的影响。各大品牌店都加强了味觉对顾客消费欲求的刺激，并根据商品不同调 节香味。 1.
