题文

Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier---the shark(鲨鱼).Rearch by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be ud to predict storms. Lauren Smith, 24, is clo to completing her study on shark’s ability to n pressure.If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.Miss Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.She then ud their clo relatives, lesr spotted dogfish, for further rearch at Aberdeen University.Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory ---- resulted from the obrvation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.Miss Smith said: “I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”“I was delighted to have been able to rearch in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand ---- but it certainly opens the way to more rearch.”It has been discovered that a shark ns pressure using hair cells in its balance system.At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech nsors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed. She also ud a special lab which can mimic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caud by weather fronts.She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark rearch.小题1:The passage is most probably taken from _____.A．a short-story collectionB．a popular science magazineC．a rearch paperD．a personal diary小题2:What do we learn from the first four paragraph of the passage?A．Sharks may be ud to predict bad weather.B．Sharks’ behaviour can be controlled.C．Michael Fish is not qualified for his job.D．Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster.小题3:Lauren Smith conducted her rearch by _______.A．removing hair cells from a shark’s balance systemB．measuring the air pressure of weather frontsC．recording sharks’ body temperatureD．monitoring sharks’ reaction to weather changes小题4:What is the passage mainly about?A．A popular way of forecasting weather. B．A new rearch effort in predicting storms.C．Biologists’ interest in the crets of sharks.D．Lauren Smith’s devotion to scientific rearch. 题型：未知难度：其他题型

答案

小题1:B小题2:A小题3:D小题4:B

解析

 本文为科普类文章，介绍了一位英国生物系学生对于鲨鱼来预测暴风雨的研究。小题1:推理判断题。本题适宜用排除法。由文章内容来看这是一篇科普文，A、D可删除，由文章的语言来看，并未出现大量的专业术语，可删除C “a rearch paper” （科研论文）小题2:推理判断题。由第一段和第四段可知，前四段所要表达的含义为If her studies prove  the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of Sharks to predict bad  weather.（科学家们可以通过监视鲨鱼的行为来预测不好的天气”。故A 项正确。小题3:事实细节题。由文章倒数第三段可知，Miss Smith 在鲨鱼身上安装高科技感应器来记录 pressure(压力)和temperature(温度)，故选D项，C项不全面。小题4:主旨大意题。文章的主旨句为第二段，全文围绕着鲨鱼可能被用来预测天气的研究展开。因此，B 项正确。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“Michael Fish may soo.....”主要考查你对 [人生感悟类阅读 ]考点的理解。 人生感悟类阅读

人生感悟类阅读的概念：

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。

生活感悟类阅读解题指导：

一、文章特点： 生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪，使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文，如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事，有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”，点出全文的中心思想，就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂，耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似，一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句（论点），其它句子围绕主题展开论述（论据），论证方法多种多样，或举例，或引用名言，或正反对照等。二、解题技巧：针对生活感悟类文章的特点，做这类文章的完形填空时，要特别注意以下几点：1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文，找出when，where，who，what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔，充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句，有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域，而是谈一些小事和简单的道理，所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣，读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度，从而提高做题的准确度。因此，考生在平时要做一个有心人，即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事，思考人生的一些基本道理，多阅读一些短小精悍的美文，多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心，做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
