专题 14 阅读理解说明文

2024 年

Passage 1

【2024 全国甲卷】Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals have

distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for shelter.

But cats are special creatures who possess amazing vocalization skills. They are able to have entire conversations

with humans using meows and you're able to interpret it. If a pet cat is hungry, it will keep meowing to attract

attention and find food. However, when a cat is looking for affection, they tend to produce stretched and soft

meows. Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life and uses it to get the mother's attention and be fed.

Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They use their noses to assess

their environment and look out for any signs of danger. They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place

to relax. However, another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells.

Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future.

That's why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats, which they don't

usually like.

Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, but cats take this behavior up a notch. Many cats will find

random objects outside and bring them to their owners. This is a very old habit that's been present in all kinds of

predators (食肉动物). Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you. These adorable little hunters are just

doing something that it's been in their nature since the beginning of time. So just go along with it!

4. What can be learned about cats' meowing from the first paragraph?

A. It's a survival skill. B. It's taught by mother cats.

C. It's hard to interpret. D. It's getting louder with age.

5. How does a pet cat assess different situations?

A. By listening for sounds. B. By touching familiar objects.

C. By checking on smells. D. By communicating with other cats.

6. Which best explains the phrase "take. . . up notch" in paragraph 3?

A. Perform appropriately. B. Move faster. C. Act strangely. D. Do better.

7. What is a suitable title for the text?

A. Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B. Understanding Your Cat's Behavior

C. Have Fun with Your Cat D. How to Keep Your Cat Healthy

【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫通过叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物来表达需求、评估环境和展示

爱意。

【4题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段“Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways. For instance, almost all animals

have distinct vocals (声音) that they rely on to either ask for help, scare away any dangerous animals or look for

shelter. (动物可以用很多方式来表达他们的需求。例如，几乎所有的动物都有独特的声音，它们依靠这些

声音来寻求帮助，吓跑危险的动物或寻找庇护。)”和“Meowing starts as soon as a baby cat is brought to life

and uses it to get the mother’s attention and be fed. (猫宝宝一出生就开始喵喵叫，喵喵叫是为了引起妈妈的注

意和被喂食。)”可知，猫叫声是一种生存技能。故选 A。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段“Cats have many heightened senses, but their sense of smell is quite impressive. They

use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger. (猫有许多敏锐的感官，但它们

的嗅觉令人印象深刻。它们用鼻子来评估周围的环境，寻找任何危险的迹象。)”可知，宠物猫通过检查气

味来评估不同情况。故选 C。

【6题详解】

词句猜测题。根据第三段划线词前半句“Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit, (狗以其令人印

象深刻的抓取习惯而闻名)”和后句“Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners.

(许多猫会在外面随意找到一些东西，并把它们带给主人。)”可知，狗以取回东西而闻名，但猫可以从外边

找到东西带回来，因此在这一行为上更上一层楼。短语 take ... up a notch 是用来形容猫在带回东西这一行

为上做得更好或更出色。故选 D。

【7题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段“Animals can express their needs using a lot of ways.( 动物可以用很多方式来表达

他们的需求。)”及全文可知，文章都在介绍和解释猫的各种行为方式，包括叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物的习惯，

以及这些行为背后的原因和意义。所以“Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior(了解你的猫的行为)”作文文章标

题最为合适。故选 B。

Passage 2

【2024 新课标Ⅰ卷】In the race to document the species on Earth before they go extinct, researchers and

citizen scientists have collected billions of records. Today, most records of biodiversity are often in the form of

photos, videos, and other digital records. Though they are useful for detecting shifts in the number and variety of

species in an area, a new Stanford study has found that this type of record is not perfect.

“With the rise of technology it is easy for people to make observations of different species with the aid of a

mobile application,” said Barnabas Daru, who is lead author of the study and assistant professor of biology in the

Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences. “These observations now outnumber the primary data that comes

from physical specimens (标本), and since we are increasingly using observational data to investigate how species

are responding to global change, I wanted to know: Are they usable?”

Using a global dataset of 1.9 billion records of plants, insects, birds, and animals, Daru and his team tested

how well these data represent actual global biodiversity patterns.

“We were particularly interested in exploring the aspects of sampling that tend to bias ( 使有偏差) data, like

the greater likelihood of a citizen scientist to take a picture of a flowering plant instead of the grass right next to it,”

said Daru.

Their study revealed that the large number of observation-only records did not lead to better global coverage.

Moreover, these data are biased and favor certain regions, time periods, and species. This makes sense because the

people who get observational biodiversity data on mobile devices are often citizen scientists recording their

encounters with species in areas nearby. These data are also biased toward certain species with attractive or eye-

catching features.

What can we do with the imperfect datasets of biodiversity?

“Quite a lot,” Daru explained. “Biodiversity apps can use our study results to inform users of oversampled

areas and lead them to places — and even species — that are not well-sampled. To improve the quality of

observational data, biodiversity apps can also encourage users to have an expert confirm the identification of their

uploaded image.”

32. What do we know about the records of species collected now?

A. They are becoming outdated. B. They are mostly in electronic form.

C. They are limited in number. D. They are used for public exhibition.

33. What does Daru’s study focus on?

A. Threatened species. B. Physical specimens.

C. Observational data. D. Mobile applications.

34. What has led to the biases according to the study?

A. Mistakes in data analysis. B. Poor quality of uploaded pictures.
