专题09阅读理解（20篇）

一、Educators worry about students turning to ChatGPT, the AI chatbot that can produce clear answers to difficult questions, to help them complete assignments. Many teachers don’t allow their students to use it in writing. But I am telling my students that they are free to use ChatGPT in their writing assignments.

To keep competitive throughout their lives, students need to learn how to use ChatGPT to produce valuable works. They need to learn to write well-organized articles with a mix of AI-generated text and traditional writing. Also professionals (专业人士) need to learn how to improve human creativity with AI.

Many students will be unable to refuse the temptation (诱惑) to seek AI help with their writing. And how would an educational institution enforce a ChatGPT ban (禁令)? While there are tools aimed at detecting text produced by AI, future forms of AI will get better at matching human writing—including copying the style of a particular person who is using it. It’s clear that AI writing tools will always be one step ahead of the tools to detect AI-generated text in the arms races.

Writing a good article from the beginning needs good logic. Writing is a skill worthy of a lot of respect, one which few of us ever master. But most students don’t seek to become professional writers. Instead, they are preparing for careers where they will write to communicate, explain, request and persuade.

When I was a middle and high school student in the late 1970s and early 1980s, I was told that professional success required good writing skills and the ability to perform long division (长除法) by hand. By the time I entered the professional workforce in the late 1980s, technology advances had left those skills outdated. Education culture can be very slow to change, as evidenced by the fact that many schools today still force children to learn long division—a task they will never have to perform anywhere outside school. With AI writing, educators should stay ahead of the development of technology instead of falling behind for tens of years.

1．Why does the author allow his students to use ChatGPT in writing?

A．To compete well in their future life.

B．To produce good writing as a writer.

C．To be creative professionals in future.

D．To improve the standards of traditional writing.

2．What can we infer from the third paragraph?

A．Banning AI effectively is impractical.     B．Using ChatGPT may fail in the arms race.

C．Copying the style of human is AI’s aim.  D．Refusing AI needs support from students.

3．What does writing mean for most students in the author’s opinion?

A．It is a kind of skill easy to master.          B．It is a must to become professional writers.

C．It is a course to focus on thinking.          D．It is a way to prepare for their future careers.

4．What does the author mean by mentioning long division by hand?

A．Students refuse to learn useless skills.

B．Education culture changes so quickly.

C．Educators should go ahead of technology.

D．AI writing helps students succeed professionally.

二、Ladies and gentlemen, today I’m honored to introduce something related to the 19th Asian Games.

The ceremonial dress

It is an improved qipao, which expresses the traditional beauty of the East, with its pattern designs mainly inspired by elements (元素) from the Qiantang River tide and the Ten Scenes of West Lake in Hangzhou. The dress is difficult to make and it takes an experienced tailor about 12 hours to finish one dress.

The sports socks

The company uses 32 pieces of Xinjiang cotton as raw material. The socks are mainly yellow, orange and Chinese red, so they look bright and beautiful. The producers try to make each pair of socks soft and comfortable to wear.

The ribbons

The ribbons are made of 100% 6A grade silk. Producers use the silk not only because it is comfortable and cool for the wearer, but also because it symbolizes the city of Hangzhou, which is known as China’s “silk capital”. Each ribbon is sewed by hand, and every craftsman must have more than 10 years of experience.

The mascots

The mascots show the rich cultural heritage of the host city. The Cong represents the world heritage site of Liangzhu Ancient City, whose name comes from the jade Cong.

三、Halfway between the United States and Japan is Alaska’s Adak Island. It is one of the remote Aleutian islands. It is a place known for its natural beauty. The coast is home to rich wildlife. Purple flowers can be seen along the roads through grassy hills. Hot springs cover the landscape. Snow-topped mountains and the Great Sitkin volcano rise in the distance.

Adak Island is home to the native Aleut people. It is not easy to get to. It requires a four-hour plane trip from Anchorage. People visit Adak to watch birds, climb mountains, or examine one of the many abandoned military bases (废弃的军事基地). People also come to hunt caribou (北美驯鹿). The animal was introduced to the area in the 1950s as a possible emergency food source.

At Horseshoe Bay, brave people can climb down a rope to the coast below and nearby hot springs. At Clam Lagoon you can watch sea otters, harbor seals and sea lions playing in the water and warming themselves on the rocks. For bird watchers, the area is wonderful. And Adak’s strange “national forest” is also worth a visit. This is a small collection of evergreen trees in a nearly treeless landscape.

Adak locals learn to live with very limited supplies. The only food store is in the old daycare center. It is open just a few hours on some evenings. The old high school and middle school now hold the city hall, a healthcare center and the post office. A drink store that was once a gas station sells a case of beer for $50. In most states, a case of beer is under $20.

Food choices are limited. Restaurants and stores are often closed. One eateryin Adak does not open often, but when it does, it serves a large pizza for $28. Reporter Nicole Evatt wrote that it was surprisingly tasty considering how far the tomato sauce and cheese had to travel.

1．What can NOT people do when they visit Adak Island?

A．Enjoying the natural beauty.                  B．Watching birds and some sea animals.

C．Examining old military bases.                D．Choosing all kinds of food.

2．Why is the strange “national forest” worth visiting?

A．Many species of birds are living in it.     B．Trees are rarely seen on Adak Island.

C．It is near hot springs and easy to get to.   D．Many wild animals are living in it.

3．What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A．A lack of supplies leads to price rises.    B．Adak Island was easy to get to long ago.

C．The island is covered with green trees.   D．Food stores open long hours every day.

4．Which can best replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?

A．Post office.      B．School.                  C．Restaurant.             D．City hall.

四、In the late 1960s, when Li Zhenxia was 5, she liked oil-paper umbrellas and dreamed of buying a beautiful, red oil-paper umbrella in a store next to her grandmother’s house. It was too expensive for her family to afford one at the time.

When she was 10, she saw a young bridegroom (新郎) pass by her house on his way to pick up his bride. He and his friends were carrying six red oil-paper umbrellas, and the image touched her heart.

When she was in high school, her physics teacher would arrive with an oil-paper umbrella every time it rained. She and the teacher became good friends.

In 1996, Li’s dream of oil-paper umbrellas came true when she started learning how to make them by herself. Two years later, she produced her first one. Of course, it was red.

Today, Li is a boss and has her own stores. She enjoys talking to her customers and passing on her skills to her students.

“The oil-paper umbrella is like my lover; it has been with me my whole life and always makes me feel better,” the 58-year-old said.

Li’s store in Datong ancient town in Chishui City, Guizhou Province—a town where there is a lot of rain—welcomes many visitors who buy her umbrellas to model in photos, decorate their homes or add to collections, and sometimes even to use for catwalks at shows and performances.

Production involves over a hundred individual steps, from cutting the bamboo and threading (穿线) the pieces together, to pasting the paper shade, drying it in the sun and brushing it with oil. The whole process takes between 15 days and several months, depending on the umbrella’s design, and all the work is done by hand.

Now Li has two more stores, one in Danzhai in Guizhou and another in Sichuan Province. Of her three children, only her eldest son, who is 36, helps with the business, running the store in Danzhai. Her daughter is married in Beijing, while her youngest son is a Grade-3 high school student. Li hopes he will learn art and help her make umbrellas in the future.

1．When did Li make her first oil-paper umbrella?

A．In the late 1960s.                                 B．In the 1970s.           C．In 1996.    D．In 1998.

2．Which is the right order of Li Zhenxia’s experience?

①Li has her own stores.

②Li made her first red oil-paper umbrella.

③Her teacher arrived with an oil-paper umbrella when it rained.

④Li saw a bridegroom and his friends carrying six red oil-paper umbrellas.

A．②-③-④-①     B．④-③-②-①           C．②-④-③-①           D．④-③-①-②

3．What is the first step to make an oil-paper umbrella?

A．Cutting the bamboo.                            B．Threading the pieces together.

C．Brushing the umbrella with oil.             D．Pasting paper shade on the bamboo pieces.

4．What does the writer mainly tell us?

A．How to make an oil-paper umbrella.      B．Learn more about art.

C．Have a dream and stick to a dream.       D．How to have own stores.

五、①A new study has shown how the colour of a bowl can influence the taste of the food it holds.

②Although it is hard to say what a picky eater (挑食的人) is like, the type may include people who have a limited diet, who have strong likes or dislikes for certain food, who require food to be prepared in a special way, who aren’t willing to accept new food, or who show signs of all these features.

③According to this new study, food was put into two groups in red, blue, or white bowls. While the colour made no difference in taste for non-picky eaters, the picky eaters reported changes in their taste senses based on the colour of the bowl being used. Snacks in red and blue bowls were thought to have more salt than those in white bowls, while snacks in red bowls were less pleasant than those in the other bowls.

④ “This knowledge can be useful for those who want to try more kinds of foods,” says Lorenzo Stafford, a psychologist from the University of Portsmouth in the UK. “For example, if you want to encourage a picky eater to try some bitter (苦的) vegetables, you can try to put them on a pink plate or in a yellow bowl, because this can give him or her a sweet feeling.”

⑤At first it may seem strange that a bowl colour can influence the taste of food, but the research before has shown how light and music can influence eating habits. All of our senses are connected, including taste.

⑥ “This new study can help in treating food neophobia—the unwillingness to try new food,” the team of the study says, and further studies will be required to find out more relationships between colours and foods.

⑦ “Through further studies, maybe we can decide ways to help actively influence a person’s diet, and as a result, their health in mind and body,” says Stafford.

1．According to the passage, who is a picky eater?

A.Tom especially likes hamburgers.

B.Lucy is able to accept new food happily.

C.Sigmund usually has three meals a day.

D.Mary doesn’t care how vegetables are cooked.

A．Tom.               B．Lucy.                     C．Mary.                     D．Sigmund.

2．According to the new study, which of the following is true?

A．All the colours made no difference in taste to picky eaters.

B．Snacks in red bowls seem to be saltier than those in blue bowls.

C．Snacks in red bowls seem less pleasant than those in white bowls.

D．Putting sweet vegetables on a pink plate may give a bitter feeling.

3．According to the passage, why can a bowl colour influence the taste of food?

A．It doesn’t tell us.

B．Because people like colourful bowls.

C．Because light and music can influence eating habits.

D．Because all of our senses are connected, including taste.

4．What does the underlined word neophobia mean?

A．美食综合症     B．消化不良               C．新奇恐惧症            D．暴饮暴食

5．Which paragraphs talk about the meaning of this new study?

A．④⑤⑥⑦         B．⑤⑥⑦                  C．⑥⑦                      D．⑦
