（英语）高二英语阅读理解专题训练答案及解析

一、高中英语阅读理解

1．阅读下列短文，从短文后每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项

中，选出最佳选项。

A new technology is going to ripe, one that could transform

our daily lives, help to form new industries, even remove world

economic powers from their present positions. Unlike the wave

of industrialization that began in the West and spread later to the

rest of the world, the new developments are taking place in

research labs all over the globe—and Asians are in the forefront.

Physicists are creating a new class of materials that display an

amazing property unforeseen even two years ago—

superconductivity (超导体技术).

Used today only in specialized equipment, super conductors

have the potential to radically change most of the electrical and

electronic appliances found in the home, making them smaller,

more powerful and efficient. They could free our cities of

pollution by replacing petrol and diesel (柴油) vehicles with

electric cars, and cut the cost of electricity. The new materials do

something that even the best of conductors such as copper and

silver cannot—they do away with all electrical resistance. The

significances for energy storage are great.

The technology is in its early stage, still accessible to

countries that decide to invest brains and money. For 75 years it

had remained little more than a scientific curiosity with limited

practical use because the phenomenon occurred only at

extremely low temperatures. It was first observed in 1911 by a

Dutch scientist named Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, who cooled

mercury (水银) to temperatures below -269℃ with liquid helium

(氦). Then in January last year, two IBM scientists, K. Alex Muller

and J. George Bednorz, found a metal oxide ceramic (氧化陶瓷)

that superconducted at -243℃. Their report went largely

unnoticed until last December, when it was confirmed at a

scientific meeting in Boston. Today Japan, India, China and other

Asian countries all have their share of experts who spend their

days and nights in labs, acting as midwives (助产士) to a new

technology.

（1）As is indicated in the passage, the technology of

superconductivity ____________. A. has already been developed B.

is still under development

C. will be used only in specialized equipment

D. will be used in daily lives in a few years

（2）The new technology differs from the others in that

____________.

A. it began in the East and spread later to the rest of the

world

B. it began in the West and spread later to the rest of the

world

C. it is being cultivated in research labs around the world

D. it is accessible to physicists who are intelligent and rich

（3）From the passage, we may conclude that ____________.

A. Asian scientists gain the lead in the growth of the new

technology

B. Dutch scientists kept reporting new findings for the last 75

years

C. IBM scientists' report receive immediate attention all over

the world

D. the West was astonished at the new technology developed
