2022届高考英语阅读理解专项训练（七）A阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案.It’s a pity that deaf people, or those who have hearing problems, can’t enjoy music. But now a vibrating (振动的) suit brings them hope – it can allow them to “feel” music through their skin, rather than hear it. Designed by the US technology company Not Impossible Labs, the suit consists of a body harness (全身式安全带), ankle and wrist straps (腕带).Music is sent to the suit wirelessly. Then the suit is able to translate it into a range of vibrating pulses (节拍), which can be felt at a total of 24 contact points all over the body. The users can adjust the intensity (强度) of the vibrations.Chase Burton, 33, a deaf filmmaker from Texas, US, has been testing out the suit for four years.He understands that a deaf person’s experience with music is very different. “When I was a kid, I’d lie on the floor above our garage so I could feel the vibrations from my brother’s band rocking out below my body,” Burton told CNN.Now when he wears the vibrating suit, he says the sound hits different parts of his body. “Maybe it will strike me down in my ankles first. And then I’ll start to feel the vibrations in my back. And then I’ll feel some pulsations in my wrist,” Burton said.The designers have been working on extending the tactile (触觉的) musical experience to a larger deaf community. In 2016, a dozen prototype (样品) suits were tested at a Lady Gaga concert in the US.The suit was also tested at a different concert in Las Vegas in 2018. It was given to 150 audience members at the concert where half the audience members were deaf and half could hear.At the same time, the company has been improving the technology, saying it’s ready to go to market soon. The suit may be used in live sports broadcasts, video games or theme parks. The ultimate (最终的) goal is to make the technology available (可获得的) to all.“We truly think that anything that has an audio element (元素) can also have a vibrational experience associated with it as well,” the company’s talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, told CNN.How does the vibrating suit help people with hearing problems?It sends sounds to their ears through a wire.It improves their contact points all over the body.It turns music into vibrating pulses that can be felt.It changes the intensity of sounds based on the users.Why is Burton’s experience mentioned?To show how difficult it is for a deaf person to enjoy music.To tell readers different ways that people enjoy music.To express regret for not having the technology earlier.To ask designers to make user-friendly products for deaf people.What do we know about the suit?It is widely used at concerts.It is well received by the market.It is being improved to further its use.It works better with people who can hear.What does Richardson think of the technology?It has a bright future.It costs too much.It is the most advanced.It is of little practical use.B阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案A few years ago, a friend sent me a restaurant gift card for Christmas, and I picked a pretty, sunny Sunday afternoon to use it. It felt good taking my two grown sons and daughter to a nice sit-down restaurant instead of the fast food places we usually ate at. The meal was delicious, and we all had a good time just being together. The gift card covered almost all of the check (餐馆帐单). I reached into my wallet to get enough cash to cover the rest. I saw two bills (钞票) in the front of it. The first would cover the rest of the check. The second would cover the check and give the waitress a nice tip. I reached down to pick out the first one.At that moment, my mind flashed back to 30 years ago. I was working as a busboy (餐厅勤杂工) in a restaurant much like the one we were in. It was long hours of hard work for low pay. I went home just barely (勉强) making enough to feed my young family. I also remembered how more than once I saw the waitresses counting their small tips while worrying about how they were going to pay the rent and buy their kids the things they needed. I remembered the pain in their eyes and saw the sadness in their faces at the end of the day.I blinked (眨眼睛) and was back in the present again, with my fingers touching the smaller bill in my wallet. I smiled, pushed it back down and picked out the larger bill. I folded it around the gift card and covered both of them with the check. As we all got up from the table, I handed them to the hardworking waitress. “You keep the change,” I said with a smile and a happy heart.We are all one family in this world. We live together, rejoice (高兴) together and suffer together. Do your best to be kind. Do your best to be a good person and replace the suffering with joy.What do we know from the first paragraph?The author’s family had a hard life.The gift card was enough to pay the check.The author seldom ate together with his family.The author values spending time with his children.The author mentioned his working experience as a busboy to ______?describe struggles he faced in the past.complain about his job at the restaurant.explain why he chose the larger bill.show how hard waiters work.How did the author feel after giving the tip to the waitress?Moved.Pleased.Puzzled.Concerned.What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article?To tell people to be kind.To remind us not to forget our hard days.To stress the importance of tipping servers.To show that we should thank friends and family.C阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案Digital technology (数字技术) has made life easier for most people. With a smartphone in hand, people can shop online, watch TV shows and arrange a taxi.Zhu Yiwei, 17, from Anhui province, wanted his grandfather to have access to this convenience, so he bought him a new phone as a gift. But his grandfather still uses the phone just for calling and messaging. “He said other functions make him confused,” said Zhu.This is a common problem faced by the elderly in the digital age.Although China already has more than 900 million internet users, among them, those aged 60 and above make up just 6.7 percent, according to the Statistical Report on Internet Development.Even though the elderly have access to the internet, they mainly do it for communication and information acquisition (获取), according to a survey by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Other services are still strange to them. That’s why elderly people are sometimes called “digital refugees (难民)”.For example, since the COVID-19 pandemic, people are often asked to show a green health code on their phone to get into public places. But most elderly people don’t use smartphones. Even if they have one, many don’t know how to operate it, People’s Daily noted.“We have made a lifelong contribution to society, but now we feel abandoned by it,” a 75-year-old Beijing resident surnamed Bai told the Global Times.For the elderly, one way of mastering digital technology is to learn from younger family members. However, not all of these younger people have the patience or time to teach the elderly. In addition, aging results in many physical problems, such as weak eyesight and bad memory. This makes it harder to use smartphones.The government and other organizations in China are trying to help. See Young, a Beijing-based NGO, aims to help China’s elderly use mobile services. Student volunteers have been providing free computer and smartphone training for elderly people in over 200 communities across the country.Zhao Jingchuan, 17, from Xi’an Gaoxin No 1 High School, and his team members also tried to help. This year, their draft proposal (草拟提案) was brought to the two sessions. They suggested more ways to help introduce the technology to the older generation, including sending manuals (手册), offering technical support, and cybersecurity (网络安全) education.Some elderly people are riding the digital wave and creating their own online communities. On social media apps like Douyin and Kuaishou, there are elderly celebrities (网红), including Taoqi Chennainai (69 years old) and Beihai Yeye (74 years old). Each has millions of fans. These characters are not afraid to show off their unique personalities. Some are like the jolly (快乐的) old lady next door. Others show their delicate (精致的) lifestyles or their taste in fashion.Why is Zhu Yiwei’s example mentioned in the second paragraph?To praise him for caring for the elderly.To show how the elderly use phones.To tell about how the young and the elderly get along.To present the topic of the difficulties elderly people face in the digital age.Elderly people are sometimes called “digital refugees” because _____?they hardly have opportunities to use the internet.they have trouble using digital technology.they are unwilling to use new technology.they don’t have suitable digital products.What does the underlined word “abandoned” probably mean?Attacked.Defeated.Left behind.Held back.What do the last two paragraphs mainly talk about?The expectations of the elderly in the digital age.The advantages of digital technology for the elderly.The efforts made to help the elderly use technology.The help young people provided for the elderly.D阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。What can make your life more meaningful? Aava Murto, only 16 years old, decided to pursue meaning by actively campaigning (参加活动) on gender equality (性别平等) issues. Recently, the girl from southern Finland did this in an unexpected way.On Oct 7, she became the country’s prime minister (总理) for one day. As she took the seat of Finnish PM Sanna Marin, she met politicians to spread her message that girls “need to realize more how important they are, and how they are just as good at technology as boys,” she told AFP.This was part of an international campaign called Girls Takeover, which aims to raise more awareness (意识) of gender equality. It invites girls across the globe to step into the shoes of leaders in different sectors of society for a day, according to the BBC. This year the focus is on promoting (推进) digital (数字的) skills and technological opportunities for girls. Countries like Kenya, Peru, Sudan and Vietnam will also hold their own swaps (交换).Finland always tops lists for gender equality and is now on its fourth year taking part in Girls Takeover. This year, the young campaigner Aava Murto also posted her speech on Finland’s government website to decry gender stereotypes about technology.According to Murto, girls around the world fear being rejected and discriminated (歧视) against for getting involved in IT and technology. As Murto explained in the speech, if a girl says she plays video games, she is often considered weird (奇怪的). On the other hand, if a boy says he does not play video games or have a game console (游戏机), he is considered weird for that reason.Murto said that inequality affects many girls globally and impacts (影响) their lives in a variety of ways. As girls are pushed aside from using and developing technology, they are more than just victims (受害者). Saying that “Girls, too, have a digital future,” Murto called for more help so that many issues can be solved.On that day, Murto delivered a joint statement (声明) alongside Marin on how Finland would help promote opportunities for girls to use and develop technology, reported China Daily.Speaking ahead of the event, Prime Minister Marin also stressed the importance of ensuring technologies are made “accessible (容易获取的) to everyone”, adding that “they must not deepen the digital divide between countries or within societies.”What did Aava Murto do as the Prime Minister of Finland for one day?She tried to make herself known by the country.She worked to change people’s opinion of girls.She encouraged girls to learn about technology.She gave Finnish politicians lots of advice.What do we know about Girls Takeover?Aava Murto is one of its organizers.Finland has taken part in it for three years.It is an international campaign on gender equality.It will focus on both art and technology this year.What does the underlined word “decry” in paragraph 4 probably mean?Criticize.Strengthen.Study.Understand.What will Finland probably do, according to Prime Minister Marin?Call on girls to play video games.Cut down technology opportunities for boys.Provide opportunities for girls to use technology.Teach all people to learn the most advanced technologies.              2022届高考英语阅读理解专项训练（七） 参考答案A1~4：CACAB5~9：DCBAC9~12：DBCCD13~16：BCAC
