考点分类练(十一) 词句猜测题——代词指代类【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是如何保护我们设备上的隐私。1.D 解析:代词指代题。根据第二段的“Therearemanytypesofspywarethatcandiveintoourdevicesandsecretlyspyonthem,recordingeverythingtheydo.”可知,有许多类型的间谍软件可以潜入我们的设备并秘密监视它们,记录它们所做的一切。由此推知,画线词them指代的是前面提到的devices。故选D项。2.B 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的“...bycompanieslikeNSOGroupwhocreatedakindofspywareto‘provideauthorisedgovernmentswithtechnologythathelpsstruggleagainstterrorandcrime’.”可知,这些公司为所授权的政府提供有助于打击恐怖行动和犯罪的科技。由此推断,NSOGroup是研发间谍软件的公司。故选B项。3.C 解析:推理判断题。由题干信息可定位到文章第三段的首句,根据第三段的“Iftheyneedtogetanyinformation,theygetitbysendingatargetedvirustoyourdevice,whichwillnotbestoppedbythetapes.Suchaviruswillfindwhattosteal—frompersonalphotosandvideostopasswordsfromsocialnetworks,browserhistory,bankaccountsandsoon.”可知,这种保护技术很难阻止恶意软件获取隐私。故选C项。【帮你拓知识】必背单词①devicen.设备;装置;仪器②exposev.暴露;揭露;显露重点语块③spyonsb暗中监视,窥探某人④behighlyoverestimated被过高估计⑤bankaccounts银行账户【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了凯特从小就爱好飞行,并且为了实现成为一名飞行员的梦想所做出的努力。4.C 解析:代词指代题。根据画线词前一句提到的Katehasalwaysconsideredflyingaplaneoneofherpassions和第二段开头提到itwasanextraordinaryopportunitytorealiseherdream可知,凯特从小就爱好飞行,驾驶飞机是她的梦想。由此推测,that指代“她想成为一名飞行员的梦想”。故选C项。5.D 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“Theprogramme’smissionistoprovideallthetrainingnecessarytoobtainaprivatepilot’slicense(PPL)forstudentsinbetweentheirjuniorandsenioryearofhighschoolfreeofcharge.”可知,它的目标是让高中生为成为一名私人飞行员做好准备。故选D项。6.B 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的“...recipientsofthescholarshipwouldattendgroundschoolinpersonwheretheylearnthefundamentalsofflying.”和“...Kateandthreepeersputintwostraightweeksofgroundschool,reviewingflighttraining...”可知,凯特在地面学校回顾飞行的基础知识。故选B项。7.D 解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可推断,凯特很有志向;再由最后一段中凯特所说的话“Itisaveryhardscholarshiptowin,andyouhavetobetrulyinterestedinflight...Youhavetobereadytodoalotofworkandputeffortintosucceedingintheprogramme.”可知,凯特为了获得奖学金很努力。由此推断,
