2019高考英语阅读理解细节理解试题答案及解释

1、 A new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust(反垄断)regulators

to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago ,the resource in question was oil. Now similar

concerns ares being raised by the giants(巨头)that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms

are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.

Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime,The giants'

success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery, Far from charging

consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And

the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too.

But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable,

changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target

advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual

recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So

they have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond.

This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into

five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is

required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out.

The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the

21st century. When considering a merger(兼并),for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when

to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of

deals. The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-borm threat. When

this takes place,especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red

flags.

The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to

those who supply ies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many

money they make form ents could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users' consent.

Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if govemments don't wants a data oconomy by

a few giants, they must act soon.

is there a call to break up giants?

have controlled the data market

collect enormous private data

no longer provide free services

dismissed some new-born giants

does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate?

giants’ technology is very expensive

’s idea is popular among data firms

can strengthen giants’ controlling position

can be turned into new services or products

paying attention to firms’ data assets, antitrust regulators could .

a new threat

the size trap

bigger firms

higher prices

is the purpose of loosening the giants’ control of data?

companies could relieve data security pressure.

ments could relieve their financial pressure.

ers could better protect their privacy.

companies could get more opportunities.

2 、 El Nino, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the

global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around

Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards

when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.

The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful

Niños, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Niño in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by

15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total

rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.

But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱)in south-east Brazil is

becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Niño may relieve the drought in California, they are

likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.

The most recent powerful Niño, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36

billion around the globe. But such Niños come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they

happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just

12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery

and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on

reconstruction.

Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施)can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道)make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges

mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr

Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Niño's harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the

stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters

would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest

are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Niño, reducing their losses needs to be the

priority.

can we learn about El Nino in Paragraph 1?

is named after a South American fisherman.

takes place almost every year all over the world.

forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.

sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.

may El Niños bring about to the countries affected?

4、 During the past Spring Festival, many children may have received red packets from their families. But Xing

Pu, a 40-year-old economist, is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.

Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has

increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the

country’s economic success, help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption(消费)around the country.

Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor(扶贫)and pro-rural(惠农)policies(政策),including increasing spending on public health-care and cutting down the agricultural tax. But the

lower-income group still needs more help.

Xing said he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like theUnited StatesandSingapore. Earlier

this year, the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts(救济)to their citizens. As for inChina, “We

can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor,” said Xing.

Although Xing’s suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet, many other

economists criticized it as unpractical. “To better use the increase of money, handing out money is not a solution

that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily

life,” said Qiao Xinsheng, an economic professor.

Pu suggested that the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese because ________.

poor should get help from the rich

government should help the rich

growing economic pie should be shared among the people

government doesn’t know how to use the money

has the government done to help the lower-income group?

ng less on public health care.

Pu’s ideas of giving red packets to every Chinese citizen mainly came from ________.

en receiving red packets from their families

rising prices in the country

ing to Qiao Xinsheng, what is better than giving out money?

ing food to everyone every day.

g the price of energy use in daily life.

lling the rising of prices.

sing the government income.

5、 Rock music in one form or another is the most popular type of music all over the world. But where did it

come from?

Rock began in the USA in the early 1950s. At that time, “rhythm and blue” music was very popular with

black Americans. “R&B” was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could

dance to and simple, fast words.

Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid-1950s, this

new white R&B music, called rock ’n’ roll, had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley

attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rock ’n’ roll was

very dangerous.

By the early 1960s, even rock ’n’ roll had become old-fashioned. Many of the songs had begun to sound the

same. It was at that time that a new group from England became popular — the Beatles.

The Beatles first started by singing American style songs, but they soon developed their own style, with more

complicated tunes. They also introduced different instruments. Groups like the Beatles had a very important

influence on the style of popular music.

By the early 1970s, rock ’n’ roll had developed into a new form of music. Electronics had replaced the

amplified guitars and drums of rock ’n’ roll. “Rock” had arrived.

Rock music had continued to change and develop. It had combined with music from different parts of the

world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of

rock.

had rock ’n’ roll become very popular?

the mid-1950s.

the early 1960s.

6、 I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my

favorite one—it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things.

McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.

Nike

In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo

represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in

1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.

McDonald’s

The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch shaped (拱形的) signs on the side of the

company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M.

The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.

Apple

There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam

and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was

designed in 1977 by Steven Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree.

This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s

“rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette (轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the

rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.

Mercedes Benz

The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple

description of a three- pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was

founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while

Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie. and DMG in 1926.
