专题04 科普知识与现代技术(话题解读)-备战2018年高考英语阅读理解话题分类
专题04科普知识与现代技术 【话题解读】 “科普知识与现代科技”是高中新课程标准话题之一。该话题包括各领域最新科技知识、最新发明创造等方面。科技已经影响渗透到我们生活的方方面面,例如电视、电脑、手机、MP3、火箭、卫星、宇宙飞船……好多好多,几天几夜都说不完。总之生活离不开科技,科技在为生活服务。点点滴滴,时时事事,科技无处不在。 【高考探究】 “科普知识与现代科技”话题是历年高考英语的必考话题,主要题型为阅读理解,体裁一般为说明文,分值所占比重也比较高。 【典例剖析】 (2017年·新课标卷II)Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle —named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon. Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway. Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards. Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet. 28. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The basic data of the Transition. B. The advantages of flying cars. C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition. 29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways? A. It causers traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate. C. It is very expensive. D. It burns too much fuel. 30. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car? A. Cautious B. Favorable. C. Ambiguous. D. Disapproving. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Flying Car at Auto Show B. The Transition’s First Flight C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True D. Flying Car Closer to Reality 【话题解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Terrafugia公司研制出了飞车,试飞成功,预计将于明年进行销售。本文主要对飞车的历史由来及其构架进行了介绍。 29.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据“But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000”可知,因为Transition 的价格较高,所以不太可能在太多的马路上出现。故选C。 30.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据“he government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly”以及“Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraf”可知,政府对于飞车的研发是比较支持的。故选B。查看更多
