Passage1《科学美国人》：中学生作弊被神经网络捕获。

词数285 建议阅读时间4分钟

The English-language version of Wikipedia has

almost six million articles. And if you're a cheating

student, that's six million essays already written for you,

footnotes and all. Except plagiarism isn't really an

effective tactic—just plug the text into a search engine

and game over.

But what about having a ghostwriter at a paper

mill compose your final essay?

"Standard plagiarism software cannot detect this kind of cheating."

Stephan Lorenzen, a data analyst at the University of Copenhagen. In Denmark, where he's

based, ghostwriting is a growing problem at high schools. So Lorenzen and his colleagues created

a program called Ghostwriter that can detect the cheats.

At its core is a neural network trained and tested on 130,000 real essays from 10,000 Danish

students. After reading through tens of thousands of essays labeled as being written by the same

author or not, the machine taught itself to tune into the characteristics that might tip off cheating.

For example, did a student's essays share the same styles of punctuation? The same spelling

mistakes? Were the abbreviations the same?

By scrutinizing inconsistencies like those, Ghostwriter was able to pinpoint a cheated essay

nearly 90 percent of the time. The team presented the results at the European Symposium on

Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning.

And there's one more aspect here that could help students. Your high school essays

presumably get better over time as you learn to write—and the machine can detect that. "The final

idea is to detect students who are at risk because their development in writing style isn't as you'd expect."

Teachers could thus give extra help to kids who really need it, while sniffing out the cheaters too.

重点讲解：

1. and all 等等；甚至包括；

He dropped his sausage on the pavement and someone's dog ate it, mustard and all.

他把香肠丢在人行道上，不知是谁家的狗将香肠甚至连带芥末都吃个了精光。

2. be able to do sth. 可以…的，能够…的；

It must be better to be able to offer them love and security.

要是能给予他们关爱和安全感肯定会更好。

3. at risk 处境危险；有风险的；在危险中；

The report underlined his concern that standards were at risk.

报告强调了他对道德水准可能会受影响所表示的关注。

4. sniff out 发现；找到；

Journalists are good at sniffing out a scandal.

Passage2西尼罗病毒

West Nile is a tropical disease that begins in birds, which pass it on to mosquitoes that then

go on to infect human beings with a bite. Most people who contract West Nile do not experience

any symptoms at all，but, if they do, symptoms typically develop between 3 to 14 days after a mosquito bite. About 1 in 5 persons suffers fever，headaches, and body aches, usually lasting a week or so. A far less lucky 1 in 150 experiences high fever，tremors, paralysis, and coma. Some—especially the elderly and those with weak immune systemsdie.

That is what made the major outbreaks of West Nile in the U.S. in the summer of 2012 so scary. The situation was particularly bad in Dallas, Texas，where the West Nile virus killed 10 people and sickened more than 200. The city declared a state of emergency and began aerial

spraying of a pesticide to kill the mosquitoes, even though residents argued that the pesticide could be more dangerous than the disease.

Why was the summer of 2012 so hospitable to the West Nile virus and the mosquitoes that carry it? Blame the weather. An extremely mild winter allowed more mosquitoes than usual to survive, while the unusually high temperatures in that scorching summer further increased their number by speeding up their life cycle. The economic crisis may have also played a role: Homeowners who were not able to pay their bank loans were forced to abandon their properties, sometimes leaving behind swimming pools that made excellent mosquito breeding grounds.

The severity of tropical diseases is also a matter of whether governments are capable—and willing—to defend their populations against infections. Dallas County was not doing some of the key things to slow the spread of West Nile, such as testing dead birds and setting mosquito traps to test for the presence of the disease. Tropical infections are thus as much related to government inaction as they are to climate.

1. What is this passage mainly about?

A. West Nile and methods to fight it.

B. West Nile and governmental efficiency.

C. West Nile and its relation to tropical diseases.

D. West Nile and the conditions its virus spreads rapidly in.

2. Which of the following statements is true about West Nile?

A. Its symptoms usually appear within two weeks.

B. It is spread through air and water in tropical areas.

C. Over 20% of people who contract it will suffer severe symptoms.

D. It comes from direct human contact with birds infected with the virus.

3. What did Dallas County do to fight off West Nile?

A. They asked citizens to stay away from dead birds.

B. They drained the swimming pools in the county.

C. They encouraged citizens to get vaccinations.

D. They sprayed pesticide from the air.

4. Which of the following is a reason why Dallas was hit most seriously in the U.S. in 2012?

A. The weather of the previous winter was not as cold as usual.

B. The residents worried about the county’s decision and action.

C. The government did not issue a warning about the disease in time.

D. The increasing population in Texas raised the risk of contracting the disease.

Passage3现代天文学的奠基者：哥白尼

Copernicus, founder of modem astronomy, was bom in 1473 to a

well-to-do merchant family in Torun，Poland. He was sent off to attend

university in Italy, studying mathematics and optics, and canon law.

Returning from his studies abroad, Copernicus was appointed to an

administrative position in the cathedral of Frauenburg. There he spent a

sheltered and academic life for the rest of his days.

1 He made his observations from a tower situated on the protective wall around the

，”so to speak, as a hundred years cathedral. His observations were made with the “bare eyeball

were to pass before the invention of the telescope. In 1530，Copernicus completed his famous work De Revolutionibus, which later played a major role in changing the philosophical view of humankind’s place in the universe. 2

Copernicus died in 1543 and was never to know what a stir his work would cause. In his book, he asserted that the Earth rotated on its axis once daily and traveled around the Sun once

yearly. 38 People then regarded the Earth as stationary, situated at the center of the universe, with

-held belief

the Sun and all the planets revolving around it. Copernicus’ theory challenged the long that God created the Heavens and the Earth, and could overturn the core values of the Catholic

world. 39 Other ministers quickly followed suit，saying of Copernicus, “This fool wants to turn the whole art of astronomy upside down.”

Ironically, Copernicus had dedicated his work to Pope Paul EL 40 The Church ultimately

banned De Revolutionibus, and the book remained on the list of forbidden reading material for

nearly three centuries thereafter.

A. Copernicus died on May 24，1543 in what is now Frombork, Poland.

B. The book, however, wasn’t published until two months before his death.

，it was of no use.

C. If this act was an attempt to seek the Catholic Church’s approval

D. Copernicus returned to Poland，where he became a church administrator and doctor.

E. This went against the philosophical and religious beliefs held during medieval times.

F. Religious leader Martin Luther voiced his opposition to the sun-centered system model.

G. In his spare time，Copernicus studied the stars and the planets, applying his math knowledge to

the mysteries of the night sky.

Passage4

Experts say the bee population is getting smaller because of climate change and other

human-caused 61 (activity ) . We are building houses and cities on land where they live,

and using chemicals 62 are killing them. Last winter, U.S. beekeepers

63 (lose ) almost 40% of their colonies (蜂群).

Thiele, 64 beekeeper, says the usual ways people raise honey bees

65 ( be ) bad for their health. He rejects the white boxes that 66 (tradition ) beekeepers use. He also refuses to use chemicals, smoke or protective clothing when he works with bees. He touches them 67 his bare hands. Thiele says his hives (蜂巢）are both a way to save bees and a personal project.

While bees crawled (爬）over his hands and arms he said，“It feels so close and I feel how

68 ( deep ) we belong and how important it is 69 (keep) them safe from harm.”

He added that honey bees show how fragile life is. He made a 70 (far) remark, “As if they are really mirroring where we are on this time on this planet.”

高考英语阅读理解训练50篇

阅读理解训练50篇（1） 1 Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell.But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hor- mones (荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etC．In general the person feels excited and ready to act. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger. 1．“Damaging emotion” means t hat _________. A．the emotion is harmless B．the emotion is harmful C．the feeling is very strong D．the feeling is hard 2．What statement is right? A．Were you angry, you would be cancered (得癌症). B．Once you are angry, you must be cancered. C．Angry as you are often, you can't be cancered, D．Anger may cause you a cancer. 3．Expressing anger violently _________ repressing it according to some scientists. A．is just the same as B．is more harmful than C．is no better than D．is much better than 4．According to the author, you'd better _________.

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

阅读理解题型分析

阅读理解题型分析 1.阅读理解题型的特点 （1）所选材料来源与实际生活，而且使用语言地道。 （2）体裁常见的有记叙文，说明文；议论文和应用文等。 （3）题材广泛包括了政治、经济、文化、科普、人物、故事、社会现象、地理风情，新闻报道等内容。 （4）阅读理解文章的体裁主要有三类：叙述文、说明文和议论文。1）、叙述文叙述文一般以讲述个人生活经历为主，对于经历的陈述通常由一定的时间概念贯穿其中，或顺序或倒序。但是在考试中一般不出现单纯的叙述文，因为单纯的叙述文比较简单、易懂。 所以中考中的叙述文大多是夹叙夹议的文章。这类文章的基本结构模式是： ①一段概括性的话引入要叙述的经历(话题) ②叙述先前的经历及其感悟或发现 ③叙述接下来的经历及其感悟或发现 ④做出总结或结论 2）、说明文（描述文）说明文的一般结构模式和叙述文的结构模式有相通之处即：提出问题（或以一个事例引出问题）---- 发现直接原因----- 分析深层原因-----得出结论或找到出路。知道了类似的文章结构特点，就可以据此来进行考题预测。比如，我们看出了该篇文章属于这种结构类型，就能判断出几个问题中肯定有一个要问原因，还有可能要出现推断题。

3）、议论文我们大家最容易辨认出来的议论文模式是主张---反主张模式。在这一模式中，作者首先提出一种普遍认可的观点或某些人认可的主张或观点，然后进行澄清，说明自己的主张或观点，或者说提出反主张或真实情况。议论文的这种结构特点决定了它的主要题型是作者观点态度题，文章主旨题以及推理判断题。 只要发现了这种结构特点，解答问题的主要任务就变成了到段落内找答案，基本上不存在任何困难。 2.题型 2.1 细节判断题 以原文中某一句话或某一个短语为入手点，考查学生对细节的理解。很多同学在做这种题目时比较喜欢在选项中寻找原文中的句子，但往往照抄原文的句子并不一定是正确选项。做这类题目时，应关注选项和原句的细微差别，选择与原文意思和所问问题都相符的答案。 2.2 单词释义或句意解释题 要求考生以上下文内容为参考，尝试理解文中出现的生词、短语或句子。这类题目的解题关键在于其上下文，因为在考查点前后出现的内容往往是对这个词的解释、说明、举例等。 2.3主旨大意题 如果是考查整篇文章的主旨大意，可以把文中每段的首句串起来考虑。若是仅考查某一段落的中心思想，则可将该段的首、尾句综合起来考虑。 2.4标题选择题

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇(附答案)

高考英语阅读理解专项训练100篇 (名师传授解题技巧+实战练习，值得下载) 一、阅读理解解题技巧 阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。 1．首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。 2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。

3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策： （1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how 等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。 （2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。 （3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。 （4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解练习题及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 I was born on the 17th of November 1828, in the village of Nam Ping, which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony (殖民地) of Macao, and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao, from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide. As early as 1834, an English lady, Mrs. Gutzlaff, wife of a missionary to China, came to Macao. Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East, she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls, which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school. Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school. It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school, instead of a traditional Confucian school, where my big brother was placed. Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion, taste, and the wants of the country, than to allow me to attend an English school. Moreover, a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion, influence, power and wealth. I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow, my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English. In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world. I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs. Gutzlaff's School. As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life, they were entirely left in the hands of God. （1）How was the author admitted to Mrs. Gutzlaff's school? A. Through his father's friend's help. B. Through his own efforts to exams. C. Through his father's request. D. Through Mrs. Gutzlaff's influence. （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？ A. An English school was more influential. B. Foreign trade with China was developing fast. C. It met with Chinese public opinion. D. He could become a successful interpreter. （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school? A. It was skeptical. B. It was mysterious. C. It was thoughtful. D. It was wonderful.【答案】（1）A （2）D （3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，小时候父亲送作者去英语学校而不是中文学校，并分析了具体原因。 （1）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Mrs. Gutzlaff's comprador(买办) happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor. It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs. Gutzlaff's school”可知，作者是通过父亲朋友的帮助进入到Mrs.

“停课不停学”：2020高考英语时事热点拓展阅读(四) Passage1妙哉！大学生首创文言文编程。 词数310 建议阅读时间5分钟 World's First Classical Chinese Programming Language Although programming vary forms and rules, the keywords used for almost all of them are in English. The International Data Corporation (IDC) estimates however that nearly half of the world’s 22.3 million software developers come from the Asia-Pacific region. China and India alone account for about one third of the world’s total developer population. In an attempt to add some diversity to the range of available programming languages, Carnegie Mellon University computer science major Lingdong Huang has developed ‘Wenyan-Lang,’ a programming language based on Chinese hanzi characters and the wenyan classical Chinese grammar system. Huang did not simply replace the English characters with Chinese hanzi, instead he applied NLP techniques to convert (转变) classical Chinese grammar to JavaScript, Python, and Ruby. He has open sourced the wenyan-lang project on GitHub, where it received a staggering (令人难以相信的)11,900 stars in a week or so. A fan of classic Chinese literature, Huang came up with the idea of programming in Chinese in order to shed light on the beauty of wenyan and to inherit (继承) the historical imprint left by generations of eminent (非凡的) figures in Chinese history. But most importantly, Huang believes the goal of communication is to go beyond the limits of language: “My project still has a lot of room for improvement, but my desire for communication is as strong as some of the historical figures.” Huang says programming punctuation and line breaks can be removed without affecting the output.

（英语）英语阅读理解练习题及答案含解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Castle Dale is a small town in central Utah. My grandpa's farm is a few miles to the north. I grew up there. Milking a cow, feeding the chickens and cutting firewood were daily routines. Grandpa had me carrying a broom to do snow cleaning when it was actually taller than I was. This was the work kids like me learned to do at a young age. I was tall, very tall at a really young age. My unusual height caused people to look, ask questions, laugh, tease, and sometimes even challenge me to fight. I was teased cruelly as a kid. It wasn't fair, I knew, but that was just the way it was. Luckily, I was taught at a very young age a very important lesson. I am different and that's Okay—I'm unique and I matter. No one could ever take that away from me. I knew this then, and I know this now. That alone helped me through the frustrations and heartaches of normal life. When I was in junior high school, I realized something else that helped me cope. Most teasing came from one of two places—people who were either jealous or ignorant (愚昧). I couldn't change the way they were, but I could change the way I felt. I was not going to feel bad because of their ignorance or jealousy. It wasn't worth it. Realizing this didn't stop them, or change the fact that these comments hurt. It did, however, give me a way to understand these people and deal with their treatment in a way that was okay for me. These things still happen today. It will probably happen the rest of my life. I will always be 7 feet, 6 inches (2.29 meters) tall. I wouldn't change that for anything. People will always look because it is not every day that you see someone that tall. I learned that at a young age and I now try to teach my own children that they are unique and they matter. That is the message I give to you. Regardless of your race, religion, background, or circumstances ... Being different is okay. （1）The author mentioned his hometown to show us _______.
