20、e underlined word “That” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.Increased length of green lights.B.Shortened traffic signal cycle.C.Flexible timing of traffic signals.D.Smooth traffic flow on the road.【解析】选C。代词指代题。That位于第二段句首,应是指代第一段的内容。根据第一段内容尤其是第一段最后一句“Just like the traffic itself, the timing of the signals ch
21、anges.”(就像交通本身一样,信号灯的时间也会变化。)可知,第一段主要讲述的是信号灯的时间会灵活变化;“That is by design.”意为“那是有意为之。”,由此可推知,That指代第一段中“信号灯的灵活时间”。故选C项。2.What does Kevin Balke say about adaptive signals?A.They work better on broad roads.B.They should be used in other cities.C.They have greatly reduced traffic on the road.D.They are l
22、ess helpful in cities seriously jammed.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据第四段中“adaptive signals are not a cure-all for jammed roadways”(但适应性信号灯并不是解决拥堵道路的万能药)及“others are so jammed that only a sharp reduction in the number of cars on the road will make a meaningful difference”(其他城市交通堵塞如此严重,只有减少道路上的车辆才能起有意义的作用)可推知,Kevin
23、Balke认为适应性信号灯对于交通堵塞很严重的城市没有太大帮助。故选D项。3.What can we learn from Bellevues success?A.It is rewarding to try new things.B.The old methods still work today.C.It pays to put theory into practice.D.The simplest way is the best way.【解析】选A。推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句(这些灯,被称为适应性信号灯,已经大大减少了工作和家庭之间的麻烦和花费。)和最后一段第一句(在Bellevu
24、e,对适应性信号灯的转变是一个在欢迎新方法的价值方面的榜样。)可推知,从Bellevue的成功中可以得出,尝试新事物是值得的。故选A项。本文介绍了智能信号灯的利与弊。文章选材时代性强,贴近学生生活,考查能力全面,侧重考查学生的语言知识、文化意识和逻辑思维、批判性思维、辩证思维能力,关注学生的核心素养,充分体现高考坚持立德树人,发展素质教育的功能。Main idea:Adaptive signalsPara.1:The traffic signals along Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue, Washington, generally dont flash th

36、letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward.可知,在对这些猴子进行测试之前,研究人员对它们进行了培训。故C项正确。5.How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?A.By drawing a circle.B.By touching a screen.C.By watching videos.D.By mixing two drinks.【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知,当猴子触摸屏幕左边时,它们会得到7滴水或者果汁的奖励;当它们触摸屏幕的另一端(即画着
37、圆圈的部分)时,它们会得到17滴水或果汁的奖励。由此可知,猴子是通过触摸屏幕得到奖励的。故B项正确。6.What did Livingstones team find about the monkeys?A.They could perform basic addition.B.They could understand simple words.C.They could memorize numbers easily.D.They could hold their attention for long.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第四段“the researchers noted that

39、smaller number to it.可知,猴子会在超过一半的时间内选择更高的值,这意味着它们在进行计算,而不仅仅是记住每一个组合的值。所以猴子能够进行基本的加法计算。故A项正确。7.In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A.Entertainment.B.Health.C.Education.D.Science.【解析】选D。推理判断题。通读整篇文章可知,该文介绍的是哈佛医学院的科学家Margaret Livingstone领导的一个研究团队对猴子进行实验得出的研究结果,这属于“科学研究”范畴,故该文应出现在报纸的“科学
