2022年高考英语一轮复习Unit11TheMedia课时练北师大版必修4 .阅读理解A(2018甘肃省第一次高考诊断试卷)In China, there are usually two reasons why people receive messages from friends and relatives from whom they havent heard for a while. The first is about New Year greetings, which are always wele. The second reason is often unpleasant, however; people are increasingly contacting longlost friends, or even casual acquaintances, and urging them to cast online votes for their children or grandchildren in petitions.The practice, which has been growing rapidly, has now reached the point where people are being tired and may even feel annoyed.The results of a recent survey conducted by the Jinhua Evening News in East Chinas Zhejiang Province show that 94 percent of 384 interviewees were once asked by friends or relatives to cast votes online for their children. The contests range from the “cutest baby” to dancing petitions, but in many cases the people receiving the messages havent heard from the sender for a long time and have never met the child involved.Although the petitions may appear to be harmless fun, some education professionals are concerned that they could have a negative effect on children.Tang Sulan, a member of the CPPCCs National mittee (全国政协委员会), proposed a ban on online petitions featuring children to prevent future psychological issues. She was also concerned that public disclosure of a childs personal information and publication of photos cause a potential risk to the childs safety.Li Hongyan, the mother of an 11yearold girl and an 18monthold boy in Beijing, said she has never urged others to vote for her children. Although on the surface the children are peting among themselves via their parents social networks, the petitions are also about parents seeking a “sense of victory” for themselves, she said. “It feels as though parents are using their babies as tools to win glory for themselves, rather than truly respecting their kids dignity and nature.” However, despite her dislike of the contests, she has twice voted for the babies of close friends because “it would be embarrassing to say no”【语篇解读】本文介绍了最近社会上常见的一种现象，有些家长为了给孩子在网上拉票，可谓不择手段，甚至要求不常联系的朋友和不熟悉的朋友投票。这种现象已让越来越多的人感到厌烦和恼怒。文章通过金华晚报对这一现象的调查进行了分析。1What is the best title for the text?AReceiving Messages: An Unhappy ExperienceBTo Say No: An Embarrassing ExperienceCA Dilemma: Vote or NotDChilds Safety and Casting Votes Online解析：C主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，一些专家提到这种现象会对孩子产生消极的影响，但最后一段谈到如果你拒绝朋友的投票要求，会非常尴尬。因此，“投还是不投？”是一个进退两难的困境。2What does the underlined word “disclosure” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?AExposure.BConcern.CReputation. Dpetition.解析：A词义猜测题。这里表达的意思是：一名政协委员担心公开曝光孩子的个人信息和照片会对孩子的安全造成潜在的风险。根据词根closure(关闭；倒闭；暂时封闭)，再结合前缀dis(表示相反或否定)及语境可猜测出，disclosure意思是“透露的信息；披露”，与exposure“揭露；暴露”意义相近。3What can be inferred from Li Hongyans words?AHer children dont want to join in those online petitions.BShe urges people to vote for the babies of her close friends.CShe agrees to bring the children to their parents social networks.DShe opposes the idea of parents seeking votes for children.解析：D推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句“. never urged others to vote for her children.”和最后一句“However, despite her dislike of the contests.”可知，李红艳反对父母给孩子拉选票这种现象。B(2018广西重点高中二模)People love cellphones, which is why nine in ten Americans own one. But does heavy use of cellphones pose a risk of cancer? This question has caused controversy for many years. A new study in rats now augments those concerns. Its data linked longterm, intense exposure to radiation from cellphones with an increased risk of cancer in the heart or brain. The results have yet to be confirmed, the authors note.Indeed, although the rat study found a link between cellphone radiation and cancer，it offers no clues to why such a link might exist, notes Jonathan Samet. He teaches preventative medicine and directs the Institute for Global Health at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Still, he calls the new studys findings “significant”. They could lead to studies researching how cellphone radiation might cause cancer, he says.Phone signals are relayed between cell towers and cellphones via radio waves. This radio frequency or RF radiation is a type known as nonionizing (非电离的). Unlike Xrays, nonionizing radiation does not deposit enough energy into cells to release electrons from atoms or molecules, producing ions. So it tends to be far less harmful than ionizing radiation, such as Xrays. But that does not mean radio waves might not cause harm.In very large doses (量) this radiation will heat the body and cause tissue damage. But its not yet known what much lower RF levels might do, such as those from cellphone use. Five years ago, the World Health Organizations International Agency for Research on Cancer, or IARC, concluded that cellphone use “is possibly carcinogenic (致癌的)”Its conclusion was based on what little research data was available at
