2022高考英语一轮复习 Module 4 对社会有突出贡献的人物训练（含解析）外研版必修4.doc

1、对社会有突出贡献的人物.阅读理解ATheyre robots and theyre capable of sailing the high seas without human intervention.On Tuesday the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) launched a pair of Saildrones (海洋无人机) in Pacific Northwest waters for the first time. Their long summer sailing journey will str

2、etch from Vancouver Island to California. The Saildrone operators will collect data to help set future fishing seasons. The government wants to see whether seagoing robots can extend fishery surveys now performed by expensive manned ships.Nora Cohen from NOAA said, “The 23foot long seagoing robots c

3、an follow a remotely programmed course for up to a year at a time. And they dont require any fuel. We use wind and solar power to drive the sensors.” He added, “It means that theyre able to go to places where we dont really want to send people, go into weather that we really dont want anyone ever to

4、 be in, and send back measurements.”The primary mission is to investigate the species and number of fish in existence and the places where they are. Larry Hufnagle, scientist of NOAA Fisheries in Seattle, said a traditional big NOAA shipbased survey costs around D|S25,000 per day. By comparison, one

5、 Saildrone runs D|S2,500 per day.“It could be a significant saving，” Hufnagle said. “But like anything else, there is a tradeoff between what you get and what you dont get. On the manned ship, we have limited time. It takes a lot of people. We spend a fair amount of money. But there is one thing the

6、 Saildrone cant do but humans can: cast a net to catch and positively identify the fish detected below. The Saildrones are going to give us additional data, not replacement data.”Nora Cohen said Sail Drone, a venture capitalbacked company based in Alameda, California, expects to launch a total of 11

7、 of its seagoing robots to survey different water bodies for NOAA this year. The Bering and Arctic seas, coastal California and Gulf of Mexico will be the locations of additional missions.语篇解读：海洋无人机能够在没有人干预的情况下在公海航行，它们的投入使用将给人类带来好处，但也有一定的局限性。1What is the purpose of collecting fish data?ATo explore t

8、he ocean.BTo assist fishing industry.CTo learn the habits of fish.DTo improve fishing skills.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“The Saildrone operators will collect data to help set future fishing seasons.”可知，无人机操作员将收集数据，帮助设定未来的捕鱼季节，由此推知，收集数据是为了帮助捕鱼业。2What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?AThe Saildrones advanta

9、ges.BThe Saildrones appearance.CThe Saildrones power system.DThe Saildrones primary mission.解析：选A段落大意题。第三段提到海洋无人机长23英尺，可以进行远程程序控制，每次航行长达一年，不需要任何燃料，用风能和太阳能驱动传感器等，由此可知，第三段主要讲述的是海洋无人机的优势。3What does the underlined word “tradeoff” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?ADebate.BReason.CReality. DBalance.解析：选D词义猜测题

10、。由第五段第一句可知，使用海洋无人机能节省很多钱。再由第五段倒数第二句可知，有一件事情海洋无人机做不到，但人类可以。对比理解，即可推断出人类从海洋无人机处能得到的和不能得到的之间是一种平衡。据此可以得出“tradeoff”意思与D项接近，表示“权衡，协调”。4What can be inferred from the text?AThe Saildrone has a promising future.BHufnagle thinks nothing of the Saildrone.CManned ships will be completely replaced.DProduction o

11、f seagoing robots is restricted.解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，预计今年Sail Drone公司将使11个远洋航行机器人下水，为NOAA勘测不同的水域。据此可以得出，海洋无人机的前景光明。A项符合题意。B(2021开封市高三第一次模拟)Andrew Grey doesnt fit most peoples idea of an astronomer.He works in a car repair shop, not in a lab or university, yet the Australian repairman discovered a s

12、tar system hiding in data from NASAs Kepler space telescope.Mr Grey is one of millions of citizen scientists helping researchers to expand collective understanding.For centuries, only a few ordinary people had been contributing to science, but advances in technology have brought a higher level of de

13、mocratization (民主化) to science.“This is a collaborative (合作的) effort that anyone could get involved in，” says Chris Lintott, an Oxford University astrophysicist (天体物理学家) and cofounder of Zooniverse, a platform that hosts dozens of citizen science projects.Citizen scientists can contribute to breakth

14、roughs in almost any field, from ecology to astrophysics.“As long as pattern recognition is involved, there are no limits to what can become a citizen science project，” Lintott says.“Anyone can identify patterns in images, graphs, or even seemingly boring data after a short tutorial.Machine learning

15、 allows computers to do some pattern recognition.But humans, particularly amateur scientists, dont stay focused on what theyre supposed to.And thats good, because people who do that notice the unusual things in a data set.”“And citizen science doesnt have to be directed by a scientist，” says Sheila

16、Jasanoff, director of the Program on Science, Technology and Society at Harvard University.“Citizens producing knowledge in places where official organs have failed them can also be citizen scientists，” she says.Thats what happened in Flint, Michigan, when a local mother started drinking water tests

17、 that caused a broader investigation of lead levels.Citizenpowered research is as old as scientific inquiry.For centuries before science became professionalized, regular people looked for patterns in the world around them.Despite a lot of advanced equipment and computer models, scientists still welc

18、ome help from everyday people.As a professional scientist himself, Lintott says, “People think that were intelligent, but science is easy and we need your help.”语篇解读：数个世纪以来，只有少数普通人为科学作出了贡献，但科技的进步已经为科学带来了更高水平的民主化，科学是任何人都能参与的，每个人都有可能成为科学家。5What made citizen scientists appear?AThe high level of science

19、 projects.BThe development of technology.CThe support of the government.DThe foundation of Zooniverse.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“only a few ordinary people .to science”可知，科技的进步为科学带来了更高水平的民主化，从而使更多的普通人也能参与科学研究，促成了公民科学家的出现，故选B。6What is an advantage of humans in pattern recognition compared with machines?AHuma

20、ns can identify patterns more swiftly.BHumans focus their attention on data.CHumans can observe uncommon things.DHumans have stronger emotions.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“And thats good, because people who do that notice the unusual things in a data set.”可知，在模式识别方面，人类与机器相比，人类的优势在于能够注意到一些不寻常的东西，故C项正确。7What

21、is Lintotts attitude towards citizen science?AFavorable. BCautious.CIndifferent. DDoubtful.解析：选A观点态度题。根据第三段Lintott表述的科学人人都能参与，第四段他表述的公民科学家有自身的优势和尾段中他说的话“People think that were intelligent, but science is easy and we need your help.”可推知，Lintott支持公民科学，故选A。8What would be the best title of the text?ACit

22、izen scientists can be intelligentBScience is important to everyoneCAnyone can be a scientistDScience is everywhere解析：选C标题归纳题。文章第一段以澳大利亚汽车修理工Andrew Grey成为公民科学家来引入话题，接着又讲到天体物理学家Chris Lintott和Sheila Jasanoff对于公民科学的看法，并结合倒数第二段中的“scientists still welcome help from everyday people”可知，本文主要肯定了公民科学家，表达了任何人都

23、可能成为科学家的观点，故C项最适合作文章标题。.阅读七选五Can creativity be taught? Thats a question without a simple yes or no answer.

Youll be sharper than someone who merely fights with a larger set of tools.Learn how to be resourceful.

25、_3_. Creativity is not just about creating something new but making old things work better as well .Think of crazy possibilities as well as practical ones. You might find inspiration for a workable solution in one of your ideas.Dont listen to feedback (反馈) and keep following your own path. The probl

29、new ways of thinking is good语篇解读：本文为一篇说明文。作者向我们介绍了如何变得更具创造性。1选AA项中的“is not like .”与下文中的“but more like .”构成“not . but .”句式，故答案为A项。2选E空前一句中的“Limit”与E项中的“limited”相对应，故答案为E项。句意：把你的工具选择限制到最必要的程度。你的工具越有限，你的作品的创造性就越大。3选D空前一句中的“resourceful”与D项中的“Resourcefulness”相对应，故答案为D项。句意：要学会机智。所谓机智就是充分利用你工作的工具。4选FF项中的“This”指空前一句内容，即别人会无意识地将你推向他们认为最好的方向。F项意为：这样做是出于好意，但实际上会破坏你的天生的创造力。5选B根据空后一句中的“Routines”可推知答案应从B、G两项中选择。G项只能作从句使用，故排除G项。句意：有一个习惯并不坏。如果那些习惯可以增强健康的创造意识，那些习惯就是正面的；如果那些习惯破坏了创造意识，那些习惯就是负面的。
