主题语境 人与社会——社会活动——三种类型的等待方式
  I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting.But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours To understand the issue, let's take a look at three types of “waits”.
The very purest form of waiting is the Watched Pot Wait.It is without doubt the most annoying of all.Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池)as an example.There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full.During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.
A cousin to the Watched Pot Wait is the Forced Wait.This one requires a bit of discipline.Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait.Directions are very specifiC.“Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly.After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.
Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky Break Wait.This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary.Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.
Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us.On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it.As long as one doesn't come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.
We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting.The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don't be desperate.You're probably just as busy as the next guy.
文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。主要分析说明了日常生活中的三种类型的等待方式。
4.While doing a Watched Pot Wait, we tend to ________.
A.keep ourselves busy B.get absent minded
C.grow anxious D.stay focused
解析:B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “During these waits, the brain slips away from the body...”可知,我们经常会心不在焉。
5.What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched Pot Wait
A.The Forced Wait requires some self control.
B.The Forced Wait makes people passive.
C.The Watched Pot Wait needs directions.
D.The Watched Pot Wait engages body and brain.
解析:A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “This one requires a bit of discipline.”和“Forced Waiting requires patience”可知,这两种等待模式的区别在于:强迫等待需要一些自我控制。
6.What can we learn about the Lucky Break Wait
A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.
B.It doesn't always bring the desired result.
C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.
D.It doesn't give people faith and hope.
解析:B 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen”可知,它并不总是带来期望的结果。
7.What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting
A.Take it seriously. B.Don't rely on others.
C.Do something else. D.Don't lose heart.
解析:D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的 “don't be desperate”可以判断出,当我们等待的时候作者建议我们不要灰心,不要绝望。

主题语境 人与社会——人际关系——爱就是包容、容忍和支持

This whole thing reminded me that life is __13__ for all of us.I assumed these wealthy people had everything going well for them and I'm sure they do, but it just reminded me that all of us have our __14__.I initially took their __15__of wanting to order as being rude, but I think they signaled it because he really wanted to get the order right.
文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者在餐馆工作的时候,遇到一对老夫妻,丈夫患有语言障碍,但是妻子给予丈夫支持,让丈夫独立完成点菜。作者明白了爱就是包容、容忍和支持。
1.A.comforted B.seated
C.asked D.ignored
解析:B 句意:昨晚,一对老夫妇来到餐厅,我的同事给他们安排座位坐下。comforted安慰;使(痛苦等)缓和;seated向……提供座位;(使)就座;asked要求;询问;ignored忽略;不理睬。根据后文“We usually do our own tables, but because we were so ________ last night that we helped each other out.”可知,餐馆的工作人员每个人都负责自己的桌子,照顾自己的顾客,但是昨晚餐馆应是很忙,同事之间会互相帮忙。这里表示作者的同事招待这两位老人坐下来。故选B项。
2.A.cautious B.anxious
C.late D.busy
解析:D 句意:我们通常负责自己的桌子,但是因为我们昨晚太忙了,所以我们互相帮助。cautious谨慎的;小心的;anxious焦虑的;紧张的;late迟到的;晚的;busy忙碌的。根据后文“we helped each other out”可推知,作者他们互相帮助对方,说明那天客人多,餐馆的工作人员都比较忙。故选D项。
3.A.signaled B.pointed
C.adjusted D.appealed
解析:A 句意:然后那对老夫妇示意他们可以点菜了。signaled发信号;示意;pointed指向;表明;adjusted调整;appealed吸引。根据后文“they were ready to order”可知,他们要点餐了,结合常识可知,应是用手势示意服务员。故选A项。

解析:C 句意:丈夫开始点菜,很明显,他有语言障碍。hearing听力;听觉;mind精神;才智;speech演讲;说话的能力;sleep睡眠。根据后文“stammering(结巴)”可知,这位老人患有语言障碍。故选C项。
5.A.consider B.enjoy
C.imagine D.practice
解析:D 句意:我可以看出,这位妻子非常详细地告诉了她的丈夫她想要什么,作为他练习点菜的一种方式。 consider考虑;认为;enjoy喜欢;享受;imagine想象;practice练习。根据前文“I could tell the wife had told her husband very extensively what she wanted”可知,作者推测那位妻子很详细地告诉了她丈夫她想要什么,然后让结巴的丈夫点餐,应是想要通过点餐让他进行“说话”练习。故选D项。
6.A.awkward B.content
C.upset D.curious
解析:B 句意:他点菜花了不少时间,与此同时,她坐在那里,尽管她丈夫结结巴巴地说个不停,她看上去是那么骄傲和满足。awkward令人尴尬的;使人难堪的;content满意的;upset心烦的;curious好奇的。与空前的“proud”并列,所选词表示妻子对丈夫的表现感到自豪和满意。故选B项。

8.A.love B.praise
C.reward D.dream
解析:A 根据语境和后文“acceptance, tolerance and support”可知,接受、容忍和支持是作者从这对夫妇的点餐事件中获得的关于“爱”的认识。love热爱;爱;praise表扬;称赞;reward奖励;报酬;dream梦想。故选A项。
9.A.clearer B.slower
C.safer D.easier
解析:D 句意:她本可以帮丈夫点餐,让事情变得容易一些,也可以避开其他桌位的目光,但她没有。clearer更清楚的;slower更慢的;safer更安全的;easier更容易的。根据前文作者的假设“She could have made the order”可知,如果妻子点餐而不是结巴的丈夫点餐,事情会简单容易得多。故选D项。
10.A.congratulations B.cheers
C.wishes D.stares
解析:D 结合语境以及根据空前的“avoided”和后面的“from other tables”可知,如果妻子点餐而不是结巴的丈夫点餐,就可以避免周围人们的目光了。congratulations祝贺;cheers欢呼;喝彩;wishes希望;祝愿;stares(尤指不友好或吃惊的)盯;凝视。故选D项。
11.A.protected B.supported
C.evaluated D.urged
解析:B 句意:相反,她支持他,并为他完成点餐而感到自豪。protected保护;supported支持;供养;evaluated评价;评估;urged敦促;鼓动。根据前文“It took a while for him to order, and in the meantime she was sitting there and she looked so proud”可知,丈夫点餐虽然耗时较长,但是妻子是感到骄傲的,由此可知,她是支持他的。故选B项。

C.take D.obey
解析:A 根据前文“It took a while for him to order”可知,丈夫在结巴的情况下完成了点餐。complete结束;完成;accept接受;take拿走;花费;obey遵守。故选A项。

C.unfair D.peaceful
解析:B 句意:这整件事提醒我生活对我们所有人来说都很艰难。valuable有价值的;珍贵的;difficult困难的;unfair不公平的;peaceful平静的;和平的。结合语境可知,后文的“these wealthy people”应是指像作者招待的这对老年夫妇一样的人,且根据后文“I assumed these wealthy people had everything going well for them”可知,作者原本认为这些富人一切顺利,但通过点餐事件,作者意识到每个人都有自己的问题和困难。故选B项。
14.A.strengths B.problems
C.fears D.mistakes
解析:B 句意:我以为这些有钱人都过得很好,我也确信他们是这样的,但这提醒了我,我们每个人都有自己的问题。strengths力量;长处;problems问题;fears害怕;mistakes错误。根据前文“This whole thing reminded me that life is ______ for all of us.”可知,这件事提醒了作者生活对于所有人来说都不容易,因此本句呼应前文,应是表达“每个人都有自己的问题”。故选B项。
15.A.command B.opinion
C.gesture D.purpose
解析:C 句意:一开始我认为他们想点餐的动作很粗鲁,但我认为他们这样做是因为他真的很想把餐点对。command命令;(尤指对语言的)掌握;运用能力;opinion观点;看法;gesture手势;姿势;purpose目的。呼应后文“signaled it”,所填空应是指点餐手势。故选C项。

主题语境 人与自然——在自然界的活动——A型血的人似乎更易感染新型冠状病毒
  (2021·洛南中学第十次月考)Blood type A more vulnerable(易受……感染)
People with Type A blood are more likely to catch coronavirus (冠状病毒) than those with Type O, Chinese academics 1.__________ (find) recently.The study in Wuhan also showed those 2.__________ live with Type A blood 3.__________ (be) more likely to die 4.__________ COVID 19.In the general population, Type O blood(34%) is 5.__________ (common) than A (32%).
However, among COVID 19 6.__________ (patient), people with Type O accounted 7.__________ just 25%, whereas Type A made up 41%.A quarter (25%) of deaths in the research 8.__________ (make) up of people with Type O blooD.9.__________ (normal), Type O people make up 32% of people in Wuhan.The controversial correlation has yet to be scrutinized (仔细检查) by other academics in peer review and the researches are unable to explain 10.__________ infection varies by blood type.
文章大意:这是一篇新闻报道。文章指出,中国的研究人员发现,相较于O型血的人,A型血的人似乎更易感染新型冠状病毒,其原因还有待进一步研究。
1.解析:have found 考查时态。句意:中国的研究人员近期发现了这一点。分析句子可知,有时间状语recently,动作应该是发生于过去并对现在造成了影响,要用现在完成时,且主语是复数形式。故填have found。
2.解析:who 考查定语从句。句意:武汉研究也表明,那些A型血的人更有可能死于新冠肺炎。分析句子结构可知,空白后的句子缺少主语,考虑定语从句,先行词是those,指的是人,要用关系代词who来引导。故填who。
3.解析:are 考查主谓一致。句意:武汉的研究也表明,那些A型血的人更有可能死于新冠肺炎。这里直接说明研究所得结论,要用一般现在时,句子的主语是those,复数,be动词要用are。故填are。
4.解析:from 考查固定短语。句意:武汉的研究也表明,那些A型血的人更有可能死于新冠肺炎。die from意为“死于(外部原因)”,这里应将新冠肺炎视为外来疾病的侵袭。故填from。
5.解析:more common 考查形容词比较级。句意:在一般人群中,O型血(占34%)比A型血(占32%)更常见。分析句子可知,这里有比较级的标志词than,在两种血型间作比较,百分比显示O型血更常见。故填more common。
6.解析:patients 考查名词复数。句意:然而,在新冠肺炎患者中,O型血的人只占25%。among表示“在……之中(三个或三个以上的人或事物)”,其后要接可数名词复数形式。故填patients。
7.解析:for 考查固定搭配。句意:然而,在新冠肺炎患者中,O型血的人只占25%。account for可以表示“(数量、比例上)占……”,符合句意。故填for。
8.解析:are made 考查被动语态。句意:研究中四分之一的死亡病例由O型血的患者组成。分析句子可知,这里应该指O型血的人组成死亡病例,而句中deaths作主语就要用被动语态,be made up of意为“由……组成/构成”。故填are made。
9.解析:Normally 考查副词。句意:正常来讲,武汉的人口中有32%的人是O型血。分析句子可知,normal置于句首,作状语修饰整个句子,要用副词形式。故填Normally。
10.解析:why 考查名词性从句。句意:研究还不能解释为何感染情况会因为血型而有所不同。文章最后抛出了问题,血型与感染新冠肺炎之间的关联还有待进一步研究,也就是说暂时还无法解释其原因,这里要用why来引导宾语从句,表示“为何”。故填why。
