Thirty years later and now a U. S. Geological Survey research geologist, Thieler, is bining science and smartphone technology to help study an endangered bird, the Atlantic coast piping plover. The piping plover is a shorebird that breeds (繁殖) along the Atlantic coast, the Great Lakes and the Great Plains. Rising sea level associated with climate change, as well as increased development in their beach habitats (棲息地), threatens the species. To help track changes in piping plover habitats, Thieler developed a free app called iPlover in 2012. This is a marked change from the typical way scientists collect data, which involves gathering information by using specialized equipment or writing in notebooks and then putting it into spreadsheets. Since releasing iPlover, scientists have gathered data across 1,500 km of breeding range. That equals about a third of the distance across the U. S．， which is a large area to cover for only two thousand breeding pairs of piping plovers on the east coast. Instead of having to travel and spend days at each site, a number of cooperators in the field use the app to collect and send data, allowing scientists to gather data more efficiently. It also allows them to collect data at the same time during each breeding season, providing a better picture of changes that happen over longer periods of time. And fast, centralized access means scientists can look at data quickly to get a realtime idea of where and how piping plovers are using their habitats. While iPlover is used by trained field staff, other apps like the U. S. Geological Surveys webbased “iCoast — Did the Coast Change？” invite citizen scientists to identify coastal changes by paring birdseyeview photographs taken before and after storms. All the information scientists and citizen scientists alike collect helps federal and state agencies create policy plans for addressing climate change impacts worldwide. 語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文，主要講述了美國的地質(zhì)學(xué)家將科學(xué)和智能手機(jī)技術(shù)結(jié)合起來，研制出一款app監(jiān)測(cè)笛鸻棲息地的變化，從而幫助保護(hù)這種瀕危動(dòng)物。 4．What can we know about the piping plover? A．Its behaviour is changing. B．Its habitat is growing bigger. C．Its living environment is being worse. D．Its breeding is limited to the Atlantic coast. 解析：選C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第二句可知，與氣候變化有關(guān)的海平面的上升和對(duì)它們的海灘棲息地越來越多地開發(fā)威脅到了這種物種，故推斷出笛鸻的生存環(huán)境日益糟糕，本題答案為C。 5．Why did Thieler develop iPlover? A．To study shorelines across America. B．To advance information technology. C．To find out global climate change. D．To monitor changes of piping plover habitats. 解析：選D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第三句可知，Thieler研制iPlover的目的是監(jiān)測(cè)笛鸻棲息地的變化，故本題選D。 6．Which of the following benefits the piping plover? A．The camping equipment. B．Research on smartphones. C．The changeable coast. D．Progress in technology. 解析：選D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段內(nèi)容可知，免費(fèi)的應(yīng)用程序發(fā)行之后，科學(xué)家們的監(jiān)測(cè)范圍更廣，并能更有效地收集數(shù)據(jù)，這些對(duì)于采取措施保護(hù)笛鸻很有好處，故技術(shù)的進(jìn)步給笛鸻帶來很多好處，所以本題選D。 7．What would be the best title of the text? A．Protecting Endangered Shorebirds B．Rob Thieler, a Creative Scientist C．iPlover, a Tool for Training Field Staff D．Differences Between iPlover and iCoast 解析：選A　標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)文章大意可知，美國的地質(zhì)學(xué)家將科學(xué)和智能手機(jī)技術(shù)結(jié)合起來，研制出一款app來監(jiān)測(cè)笛鸻棲息地的變化，從而幫助保護(hù)這種瀕危動(dòng)物；再根據(jù)文章第二段第一句“The piping plover is a shorebird”可知，本題選A。 C (2019陜西質(zhì)檢一)Its easy to keep your aging brain as quick as it was in college. Use a website full of brain games or download the right apps, and within 20 minutes youll be doing your part to sharpen your memory and slow the decline of your mental functions. At least thats what the panies behind this booming industry would have you believe. But is it true? Concrete proof about the benefits of brain games is hard to e by, experts say, when it es to measurably improving aspects of mental fitness, like having a good memory. “People would really love to believe they could do something like this and make their brain better, but theres just no solid evidence，” says Randall W. Engle, a primary investigator at the Attention & Working Memory Lab at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Thats not to say brain games are without benefits. Experts say these kinds of mental exercises can change your brain. The brain changes with just about everything you do, including mental training exercises. But numerous studies have shown that brain games lack what researchers call “transfer”. In other words, repeating a game over and over again teaches you how to play the game and get better at it but your brain aging wont necessarily e to a stop. “Its like, you walk through fresh snow, and you leave a trace. If you walk the same route again, the trace gets deeper and deeper，” says Ursula Staudinger, director of the Butler Columbia Aging Center at Columbia University. The fact that structural changes occur does not imply that in general this brain has bee more capable. It has bee more capable of doing exactly the tasks it was practicing. 語篇解讀：本文是一篇科普說明文。據(jù)說腦力游戲可以提高記憶力和延緩大腦功能的衰退，但是研究表明，腦力游戲僅能提高玩家對(duì)游戲技巧的掌握，并不能真正阻止大腦的老化；其作用還有待證明。 8．We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.

A．They really make some difference. B．Their effects still need proving. C．People like to be led by the nose. D．People dont believe the effects. 解析：選B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第二句可知，Randall W. Engle 認(rèn)為這種游戲的功能還有待證明，故B項(xiàng)正確。 10．The underlined word in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”． A．stopping the brain aging B．having the brain working C．making the brain more passive D．speeding up the brain aging 解析：選A　詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句可知，多次重復(fù)玩一個(gè)游戲，會(huì)讓你更加熟練地操作游戲，但大腦老化并不能停止；結(jié)合畫線詞所在句可知，很多研究都表明腦力游戲不能使大腦停止老化，故A項(xiàng)正確。 11．Which can be the best title of the passage? A．Games Stop Brain Aging B．Unavoidable Brain Aging C．Games Roles Need Proving D．Games Improve Your Brain 解析：選C　標(biāo)題歸納題。通讀全文可知，本文介紹了能提高記憶力和延緩大腦功能衰退的腦力游戲，但是研究表明，這些游戲僅能提高玩家對(duì)游戲技巧掌握的能力，并不能真正阻止大腦的老化；游戲的作用還有待證明。據(jù)此可知，C項(xiàng)最適合作為本文的標(biāo)題。 D (2019濟(jì)南模擬)Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the American International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, hightech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a childs emotional intelligence. panies showed off their products last week at New Yorks Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Durn directs the pany that makes PleIQ. He showed people at the Toy Fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera. PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide to a panion character. On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another pany demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot es programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自閉癥). “The child can municate with Woobo ... telling him about certain things.” At the EQtainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the panys toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence，” he said. Erickson showed off a board game called “Qs Race to the Top”. He said the game got his 4yearold daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And thats the key of all this — getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad？’ or ‘What does it feel like to be happy？’ ” It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence.
