专题限时检测(十五)阅读理解细节理解类之事实认定题(加的为事实认定题，本卷限时23分钟)A(2020扬州市高三期末检测)A spinoff from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) called Empatica, has created a wearable device that monitors epileptic seizures (癫痫发作)According to Statista, the value of the global mHealth market for 2020 is forecasted to be at around 14.5 billion US. dollars. In fact, 247 million people in the US have downloaded a healthcare app for their personal use.The new product, Embrace, can be paired with a companion watch that a family member, friend or caregiver can wear. When the companion watch is in range of the users Embrace watch, it will vibrate to alert the companion watch of their medical situation or status.Embrace is tied together by two apps: an event detector which sends an alert when the users electrodermal response reaches a pre set level they customize based on their history and health profile; and a diary app which helps monitor and manage everyday routines.The ultra thin Embrace is the result of several years of research from MIT professor Dr. Rosalind W. Picard, founder and director of the Affective Computing Research Group at MIT Media Lab and her team. Embrace evolved from a discovery with an early device called iCalm in 2020 which allowed the researchers to see the outbreak of stress even before it was noticed by the subject.The sensors in the iCalm device measured the “fightorflight response” through electrodermal activity which was measured from the skin surface. In a small test group, the data from the iCalm showed that the wristband data was related to how long the brain waves were suppressed after an epileptic seizure. According to Picard, the data showed the bigger the signal on the wrist, the longer the brain waves went flat after the seizure had supposedly ended. The problem with that discovery, according to the researchers, is that someone whos had an epileptic seizure and then appears to recover should be monitored and not left alone.Over time, Picard and her team finetuned iCalm to what is now the Embrace watch which monitors the users physiological stress levels. Embrace monitors electrodermal activity (EDA) and movement with an objective of reducing Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP), the leading cause of death of those with epilepsy.Embrace recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for further product development. The company also has partnered with the Epilepsy Foundation and plans to give Embrace watches to children or families who cant afford them.1What can be inferred from the passage?AEmbrace will undoubtedly have a bright market future.BWith Embrace, many epileptic sufferers have got cured.CEmbrace is unaffordable for most children and families.DThe government financially supports Embrace advances.2.Embrace works with devices consisting of _.Apaired companion watchesBan event detector and a diary appCsmart sensors in the iCalm deviceDthe signals shown on the wrist3.Empatica developed iCalm because it _.Afailed to detect an epileptic patient who tends to be curedBwas weak in reporting the accurate data of the stress outbreakCcould not figure out the brain waves via signals on the wristDlacked the function to explain the sudden death inEpilepsy4Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?AFrom Finetuned iCalm to the Embrace WatchBA Cure of Epilepsy by Picard and Her TeamCA Smart Watch to Manage Epileptic SeizuresDEmbrace, a Great Scientific BreakthroughB(2020扬州中学高三第四次模拟考试)Alan, 17, was randomly shot and killed by a gang member. His father, Keith, and his mother, Donna, were filled with anger as they followed the allconsuming ongoing investigation into the killing. A close couple, friends of Keith and Donnas, dropped in one evening and said to them, “You have to accept this loss. Your son is gone and none of this is going to bring him back. All you need now is acceptance.” Keith got angry with his friend and asked, “What part of Alans death dont you think I accept? Believe me, I hate to be in so much pain.”Acceptance is not about liking a situation. It is about acknowledging all that has been lost and learning to live with that loss. It would be too soon for Keith to be able to accept the situation. He can acknowledge the reality of the loss, but it would be unrealistic to think he should have found some peace with it by then.The gang member who killed Alan was sentenced to life in prison, and Keith and Donna went back to their own lives. But Keith actually had a new loss to deal with, an emptiness, which made the absence of his sons loss even louder.It is important for people to understand that gradually, in your own time, you can begin to find some peace with what has happened. In situations such as murder, it is vital to understand we have a legal system, not necessarily a justice system. Acceptance is a process that we experience, not a final stage with an end point.No one else could know how much acceptance Keith was capable of or how time would affect his process. After five years, Keith felt he had found as much acceptance as was possible. Then he was notified that the shooter was up for his parole (假释) hearing. Keith was once again filled with anger. The proceedings were brief and parole was denied. Keith was struck by how quickly it happened and by the tears of the shooters father.For the first time, Keith realized that there were victims on both ends of the gun.Keith walked over and shook his hand. At that moment, something happened: Keiths anger was replaced by a curiosity. He wanted to know what this other fathers life was like and what led him to the same place. Over the next few years, the two men worked together helping gang members stop the violence and find their place in the world.Keiths acceptance was a journey deeper than ever expected. And it happened over many years, not many months or days. Not everyone will or can fully embrace those who have hurt us, as Keith did, but there is always a struggle that leads us to our own personal and unique acceptance.5.Alans parents were very angry at their sons death because _.Ahe was innocently killedBhe was a member of a gangCtheir friends brought the truth back to themDthe murders were soon released6Which of the following gives the true meaning of “acceptance” according to this passage?AAcknowledging the reality.BSeeking justice for what has been lost.CEmbracing the pain that has made you hurt.DFinding some peace with what has happened.7What personality can we infer from the passage about Keith?ATolerant.BTimid.CIrresponsible.
