高考攻略READING科技前沿.doc

科技前沿 ANALYZE 【专题介绍】 反映科技前沿内容的说明文一般来说主要介绍人工智能产品和其他的高科技产品，展示这类产品给生活带来的便利以及可能给我们的生活带来的变化。这类文章的选材一般力求新颖，符合学生探究新事物的心理，对学生创造性思维的培养具有一定的启迪作用。热点题材有: 1． 介绍人工智能产品。如蛇形机器人的研究和应用 (山东2006 E篇)； 2． 介绍其他高科技产品或者项目。如2005年浙江卷的D篇介绍一种新型的智能触摸屏装置；2007年山东卷的E篇介绍了一种新型的应用高科技来监督孩子们锻炼身体的减肥运动鞋；而2008年江西卷的E篇则是对太空旅馆的介绍。 【应考策略】 这类文章的体裁主要为科普说明文。高考对科普说明文的考查是阅读理解的重要考点，也是难点。科普说明文着重揭示自然界的潜在奥秘、生物生存背景和产品工艺原理，多含解释性、定义性、说明性长句，甚至可能会出现多种从句叠现的现象，因此阅读科普说明文时同学们一定要保持冷静，始终以平静的心态阅读原文，解答试题。同时应认真分析长句句子结构和逻辑关系，这样才能对其做出准确理解。 【高考范例】 Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days or more. And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! So in order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation — or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel —private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views — of Earth and space — and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity — including sports and other activities that make use of this. The hotels themselves will vary greatly — from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structures at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as late as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible. Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sorts of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below. Of course all good things have come to an end, unfortunately. And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading ba
