B
Winters
are
long
and
unforgiving
in
North
Dakota.
The
winter
of
1996
was
especially
brutal.
It
was
a
hard
time
in
my
own
life
too.
A
neck
injury
had
kept
me
flat
in
bed
for
nearly
a
year.
“Just
in
time
for
Easter,”
my
husband,
Dick,
said.
But
how
could
I
feel
the
joy
when
the
snow
was
four
feet
deep
and
I
had
months
of
painful
physical
treatment
ahead?
I
was
doing
the
dishes
one
day,
feeling
hopeless
when
there
was
a
tap
on
the
glass.
It
was
a
branch
of
the
troublesome
cottonwood
(棉白杨).Back
in
the
fall
of
1979,
it
was
a
new
subdivision(细枝)
then,
an
eight-foot
stick.
The
people
who’d
briefly
occupied
the
house
before
us
had
placed
the
pipe
from
the
pump
next
to
it.
The
earth
was
so
wet
that
the
poor
thing
had
fallen
down,
most
of
its
bare
root
system
pointing
skyward,
and
blowing
hopelessly
back
and
forth
in
the
cold
wind.
Dick
decided
to
pull
it
out
one
day,
but
I
protested.
“Look
at
how
hard
it’s
trying!”
I
said,
pointing
to
the
way
it
strongly
kept
hold
of
the
earth.
“It
deserves
a
chance.”
Dick
borrowed
some
tools.
We
packed
dry
soil
around
the
tree
and
put
up
some
stakes
(桩)
into
the
ground,
making
it
stand
upright.
That
winter
was
still
terrible.
Surprisingly,
in
spring
my
“rescue
stick”
put
forth
a
few
leaves
and
lots
of
branches.
The
year
after
that,
we
were
able
to
remove
the
stakes.
By
the
1990s
that
little
stick
was
a
giant,
towering
over
the
house.
Now
the
tapping
at
the
window
continued,
louder
as
the
wind
picked
up,
almost
as
though
to
tell
me
to
look
up.
At
last,
I
did.
I
caught
my
breath.
In
the
window
against
the
icy
blue
sky,
thousands
and
thousands
of
fresh
red
buds
were
waving
in
the
wind.
The
tree
was
bursting
with
life
and
I
had
a
wonderful
Easter.
( )4.What
is
the
meaning
of
the
underlined
word
“brutal”
in
Paragraph
1?
A.Busy.
B.Hard.
C.Long.
D.Warm.
( )5.How
did
the
author
and
her
husband
Dick
rescue
the
new
subdivision?
A.By
supporting
the
tree
firmly.
B.By
watering
the
tree
regularly.
C.By
distributing
chemical
fertilizers.
D.By
gathering
sticks
day
and
night.
( )6.What
is
the
author’s
purpose
of
writing
the
last
paragraph?
A.To
inform
us
of
the
current
condition
of
her
cottonwood.
B.To
imply
that
she’d
pulled
through
the
hardest
time
and
felt
hopeful.
C.To
tell
us
that
the
tree
had
survived
from
the
awful
winter.
D.To
suggest
what
she
was
going
to
do
for
the
coming
festival.
( )7.Which
of
the
following
can
serve
as
the
main
idea
of
the
passage?
A.A
friend
in
need
is
a
friend
indeed.
B.There
is
no
garden
without
its
weeds.
C.Well
begun
is
half
done.
D.Where
there
is
life,
there
is
hope.
C
Bacteria
are
an
annoying
problem
for
astronauts.
The
micro-organisms(微生物)
from
our
bodies
grow
uncontrollably
on
surfaces
of
the
International
Space
Station,
so
astronauts
spend
hours
cleaning
them
up
each
week.
How
is
NASA
overcoming
this
very
tiny
big
problem?
It’s
turning
to
a
bunch
of
high
school
kids.
But
not
just
any
kids.
It
is
depending
on
NASA
HUNCH
high
school
classrooms,
like
the
one
science
teachers
Gene
Gordon
and
Donna
Himmelberg
lead
at
Fairport
High
School
in
Fairport,
New
York.
HUNCH
is
designed
to
connect
high
school
classrooms
with
NASA
engineers.
For
the
past
two
years,
Gordon’s
students
have
been
studying
ways
to
kill
bacteria
in
zero
gravity,
and
they
think
they’re
close
to
a
solution(解决方案).
“We
don’t
give
the
students
any
breaks.
They
have
to
do
it
just
like
NASA
engineers,”
says
Florence
Gold,
a
project
manager.
“There
are
no
tests,”
Gordon
says.
“There
is
no
graded
homework.
There
almost
are
no
grades,
other
than
‘Are
you
working
towards
your
goal?’
Basically,
it’s
‘I’ve
got
to
produce
this
product
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
year,
present
it
to
NASA.’
Engineers
come
and
really
do
an
in-person
review,
and…it’s
not
a
very
nice
thing
at
times.
It’s
a
hard
business
review
of
your
product.”
Gordon
says
the
HUNCH
programme
has
an
impact(影响)
on
college
admissions
and
practical
life
skills.
“These
kids
are
so
absorbed
in
their
studies
that
I
just
sit
back.
I
don’t
teach.”
And
that
annoying
bacteria?
Gordon
says
his
students
are
e-mailing
daily
with
NASA
engineers
about
the
problem,
readying
a
workable
solution
to
test
in
space.
( )8.What
do
we
know
about
the
bacteria
in
the
International
Space
Station?
A.They
are
hard
to
get
rid
of.
B.They
lead
to
air
pollution.
C.They
appear
in
different
forms.
D.They
damage
the
instruments.
( )9.What
is
the
purpose
of
the
HUNCH
programme?
A.To
strengthen
teacher-student
relationships.
B.To
sharpen
students’
communication
skills.
C.To
allow
students
to
experience
zero
gravity.
D.To
link
space
technology
with
school
education.
( )10.What
do
the
NASA
engineers
do
for
the
students
in
the
programme?
A.Check
their
product.
B.Guide
project
designs.
C.Adjust
work
schedules.
D.Grade
their
homework.
( )11.What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.NASA:
the
home
of
astronauts
B.Space:
the
final
homework
frontier
C.Nature:
an
outdoor
classroom
D.HUNCH:a
college

reform
D
By
trying
to
tickle(挠痒痒)
rats
and
recording
how
their
nerve
cells
respond,
Shimpei
Ishiyama
and
his
adviser
are
discovering
a
mystery
that
has
puzzled
thinkers
since
Aristotle
expected
that
humans,
given
their
thin
skin
and
the
unique
ability
to
laugh,
were
the
only
ticklish
animals.
It
turns
out
that
Aristotle
was
wrong.
In
their
study
published
on
Thursday,
Ishiyama
and
his
adviser
Michael
Brecht
found
that
rats
squeaked
and
jumped
with
pleasure
when
tickled
on
their
backs
and
bellies.
These
signs
of
joy
changed
according
to
their
moods.
And
for
the
first
time,
they
discovered
a
special
group
of
nerve
cells.
These
nerve
cells
made
this
feeling
so
powerful
that
it
causes
an
individual
being
tickled
to
lose
control.
To
make
sure
that
he
had
indeed
found
a
place
in
the
brain
where
tickling
was
processed,
Ishiyama
then
stimulated
that
area
with
electrical
currents.
The
rats
began
to
jump
like
rabbits
and
sing
like
birds.
“It’s
a
truly
groundbreaking
discovery,”
said
Jeffrey
Burgdorf,
a
neuroscientist
at
North-western
University
who
reviewed
the
paper.
“It
takes
the
study
of
emotion
to
a
new
level.”
Burgdorf
has
played
a
central
role
in
our
understanding
of
animal
tickling.
He
was
part
of
a
team
that
first
noticed,
in
the
late
1990s,
that
rats
made
special
noises
when
they
were
experiencing
social
pleasure.
Others
had
already
noted
that
rats
repeatedly
made
short
and
high
sounds
during
meals.
But
the
lab
where
Burgdorf
worked
noticed
that
they
emitted
similar
sounds
while
playing.
And
so
one
day,
the
senior
scientist
in
the
lab
said,
“Let’s
go
and
tickle
some
rats.”
They
quickly
found
that
those
cries
of
pleasure
doubled.
“The
authors
have
been
very
adventurous,”
said
Daniel
O’Connor,
a
neuroscientist
at
Johns
Hopkins
University
who
studies
touch.
To
him,
that
finding
was
very
surprising.
“Why
does
the
world
literally
feel
different
when
you
are
stressed
out?”
he
said.
“This
is
the
first
step
towards
answering
that
question.
It
gives
us
a
way
to
approach
it
with
experimental
rigour(严谨).”
( )12.What
contributed
to
humans’
being
ticklish
according
to
Aristotle?
A.Their
special
skin.
B.Their
social
pleasure.
C.Their
nervous
system.
D.Their
willingness
to
touch.
( )13.Why
did
the
researchers
make
use
of
electrical
currents?
A.To
discover
the
special
group
of
nerve
cells.
B.To
experiment
on
different
animals.
C.To
follow
the
process
of
tickling.
D.To
prove
their
finding.
( )14.Which
of
the
following
statements
will
Jeffrey
Burgdorf
agree
with?
A.The
research
process
is
full
of
risks.
B.The
finding
of
the
study
is
surprising
and
unbelievable.
C.The
new
discovery
is
beneficial
to
the
study
of
emotion.
D.The
finding
of
the
study
actually
contradicts
modern
science.
( )15.What
is
the
best
title
for
the
text?
A.The
life
of
rats
B.How
rats

C.A
wonderful

“You
totally
missed
out!”
This
sentence
strikes
fear
in
the
hearts
of
teenagers
more
than
almost
anything
else.
In
fact,
missing
out
on
something
bothers
most
teenagers
so
much
that
there
is
even
a
special
word
for
that
sick
feeling:
FOMO.
16.
FOMO,
which
was
added
to
The
Oxford
English
Dictionary
in
2013,
refers
to
that
anxious
feeling
people
get
when
they
realize
they
are
not
attending
a
social
event.?
17.
In
fact,
one
survey
found
that
two
thirds
of
people
in
this
age
group
admitted
to
experiencing
FOMO
regularly.
If
you
ask
teenagers
whether
they
experience
social
media
anxiety,
most
would
answer
no.
But
what
they
do
not
realize
is
that
if
they
are
stressed
or
worried
about
what
they
see
online,
then
they
are
possibly
experiencing
FOMO,
especially
if
they
are
online
a
lot.?
Then
how
to
handle
the
problem
of
FOMO?
Of
course,
turning
off
the
technology
seems
like
a
natural
cure
for
FOMO.
18.
Teenagers
may
still
worry
that
they
are
missing
out,
even
if
they
are
not
on
social
media
at
all.?
The
key
is
to
turn
off
the
technology
and
do
something
else
like
reading
a
book,
giving
a
friend
make-up,
baking
cookies—anything
that
allows
them
to
focus
on
something
other
than
social
media.
19. ?
It
is
also
important
to
encourage
teenagers
to
recognize
that
they
cannot
possibly
be
everywhere
and
do
everything.
So,
naturally,
there
will
be
parties
or
events
that
they
cannot
attend.
20.
Photos
can
be
deceiving
(骗人的).
And
even
though
it
looks
as
if
their
friends
are
having
a
good
time,
this
may
not
be
the
case.
They
should
never
let
the
fact
that
they
couldn’t
be
somewhere
affect
their
view
of
themselves.?
A.FOMO
has
become
an
even
bigger
problem.
B.FOMO
is
especially
common
to
people
aged
18
to
33.
C.In
simple
terms,
FOMO
stands
for
“fear
of
missing
out”.
D.It
can
be
extremely
helpful
in
changing
their
attitudes
towards
life.
E.But
this
does
not
necessarily
mean
they
are
missing
out
on
something.
F.By
doing
this,
teenagers
are
not
glued
to
their
screens
and
are
more
active.
G.But
just
switching
the
phone
to
“off”
doesn’t
erase
the
feelings
caused
by
FOMO.
第二部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
I
went
with
some
colleagues
from
my
office
for
a
dinner
in
a
very
popular
local
restaurant.
It
was
21
business
time
and
the
restaurant
was
packed.
We
finally
found
a
table
in
a
corner
for
three
of
us.?
As
soon
as
we
sat
down,
we
heard
a
crash
when
a
cleaning
boy
22
the
floor
with
all
the
plates
he
was
carrying.
There
was
23
and
no
one
was
saying
or
doing
anything.?
In
a
flash
I
remembered
my
24
many
years
ago.
Once,
I
25
in
the
airport
because
I
had
rushed
there
on
my
own
on
an
empty
stomach.
I
was
picked
up
and
taken
care
of
by
two
26
.
Now
this
was
my
chance
to
pay
it
forward.?
I
ran
to
the
young
man’s
side
immediately,
turned
him
on
his
back
and
screamed
for
someone
to
27
a
hot
drink.
Soon
people
started
asking
if
I
was
a
doctor.
I
said
I
was
not,
but
I
was
skilful
at
blacking
out(晕厥).?
The
kid
soon
opened
his
eyes,
28
what
had
happened.
I
29
him
by
saying
it
was
OK
and
I
had
had
a
30
experience.
He
had
not
eaten
anything.
I
held
the
31
drink
to
his
mouth
till
he
finished
it
and
sat
with
him
till
he
felt
OK.
By
then
the
32
had
arrived.
I
asked
her
to
give
the
kid
something
to
eat.
I
offered
to
pay.?
The
manager
was
kind
enough
to
refuse
the
payment
and
agreed
to
make
sure
the
kid
ate
before
he
went
home.
By
the
time
all
this
was
over
it
was
getting
late
for
my
colleagues.
We
hadn’t
33
anything
yet,
so
we
decided
to
go
home.?
I
slowly
walked
home,
not
hungry
any
more,
feeling
34
for
the
opportunity
to
pay
forward
the
35
I
had
received
many
years
ago.?

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
“I’m
going
to
miss
you
so
much,
Poppy,”
said
the
tall,
thin
teenager.
He
bent
down
to
hug
his
old
friend
goodbye.
He
stood
up,
hugged
his
parents,
and
smiled,
trying
not
to
let
his
emotions(情绪)
get
the
better
of
him.
His
parents
were
not
quite
able
to
keep
theirs
under
control.
They
had
driven
their
son
several
hours
out
of
town
to
the
university
where
he
would
soon
be
living
and
studying.
It
was
time
to
say
goodbye
for
now
at
least.
The
family
hugged
and
smiled
through
misty
eyes
and
then
laughed.
The
boy
lifted
the
last
bag
onto
his
shoulder,
and
flashed
a
bright
smile.
“I
guess
this
is
it,”
he
said.
“I’ll
see
you
back
home
in
a
month,
okay?”
His
parents
nodded,
and
they
watched
as
he
walked
out
of
sight
into
the
crowds
of
hundreds
of
students
and
parents.
The
boy’s
mother
turned
to
the
dog,
“Okay,
Poppy,
time
to
go
back
home.”
The
house
seemed
quiet
as
a
tomb
without
the
boy
living
there.
All
that
week,
Poppy
didn’t
seem
interested
in
her
dinner,
her
favourite
toy,
or
even
in
her
daily
walk.
Her
owners
were
sad
too,
but
they
knew
their
son
would
be
back
to
visit.
Poppy
didn’t.
They
offered
the
dog
some
of
her
favourite
peanut
butter
treats.
They
even
let
her
sit
on
the
sofa,
but
the
old
girl
just
wasn’t
her
usual
cheerful
self.
Her
owners
started
to
get
worried.
“What
should
we
do
to
cheer
Poppy
up?”
asked
Dad.
“We’ve
tried
everything.”
“I
have
an
idea,
but
it
might
be
a
little
crazy,”
smiled
Mum.
“Without
anybody
left
in
the
house
but
us,
this
place
could
use
a
bit
of
fun.
Let’s
get
a
little
dog
for
Poppy.”
It
didn’t
take
long
before
they
walked
through
the
front
door
carrying
a
big
box.
Poppy
welcomed
them
home
as
usual
but
when
she
saw
the
box,
she
stopped.
She
put
her
nose
on
it.
Her
tail
began
wagging(摆动)
ever
so
slowly,
then
faster
as
she
caught
the
smell.
Paragraph
1:
Dad
put
the
box
on
the
ground
and
opened
the
top.?
?
Paragraph
2:
A
few
weeks
later,
the
boy
arrived
home
from
university.?
参考答案
第一部分
第一节
A
【文章大意】
这是一篇应用文。短文介绍了五本书,包括书的名称、作者和书的主要内容。
1.C 推理判断题。由Book
1:
Elixir中的“She
finds
herself
torn
between
her
sympathy
for
the
animals
being
experimented
on
and
her
friendship
with
Banting
and
Best.”可知,Roth同情那些被试验的动物,但她也想保持与Banting和Best的友谊,她感到左右为难。通过关键词“torn”可以判断出,painful“痛苦的”能够描述第一本书中Roth的情感。故选C项。
2.B 细节理解题。由Book
1:
Elixir中的“…her
sympathy
for
the
animals…”和Book
5:
Newton
and
the
Time
Machine中的“…to
see
dinosaurs
up
close…”可知,第一本书和第五本书都提到了动物。故选B项。
3.C 细节理解题。由Book
3:
The
Inuit
Thought
of
It:
Amazing
Arctic
Innovations中的“…A
Native
American
Thought
of
It
by
Rocky
Landon
and
David
MacDonald.”可知,如果你对美国原住民感兴趣,你可以读Rocky
Landon和David
MacDonald写的书。故选C项。
B
【文章大意】
文章讲述了作者在生活低谷时,注意到曾经垂死的树枝已经变得枝繁叶茂,那是自己和丈夫亲手救活的树枝。作者从中受到启发,又重新燃起了对生活的希望。
4.B 词义猜测题。根据文中第一句“Winters
are
long
and
unforgiving
in
North
Dakota.”以及第三句“It
was
a
hard
time
in
my
own
life
too.”可猜出brutal的意思应该是“艰难的”,故选B。
5.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中“We
packed
dry
soil
around
the
tree
and
put
up
some
stakes
(桩)
into
the
ground,
making
it
stand
upright.”可知,作者和丈夫通过用树桩牢牢地支撑起树的方法救了它,故选A。
6.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The
tree
was
bursting
with
life
and
I
had
a
wonderful
Easter.”可知,作者写最后一段的用意是暗示她已经度过了最艰难的时期,对生活充满希望,故选B。
7.D 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者在人生低谷时,注意到曾经垂死的树枝经过她和丈夫的救治已经变得枝繁叶茂。作者从中受到启发,并且告诉自己,也告诉我们:有生命的地方就有希望。故选D。A项意为“患难见真情”;B项意为“没有不长杂草的花园”;C项意为“好的开始是成功的一半”。
C
【文章大意】
本文为说明文。文章介绍了一个HUNCH项目:美国宇航局依靠Gordon的学生研究如何杀死空间站的细菌。该项目把航天技术带进课堂,与学校教育相结合,最终影响高校招生和实际的生活技能。
8.A 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Bacteria
are
an
annoying
problem
for
astronauts…cleaning
them
up
each
week.”可知,细菌对宇航员来说是个令人讨厌的问题。这种来自我们身体的微生物在国际空间站的表面不受控制地生长,宇航员每周要花几个小时来清理它们,也就是说它们很难去掉。由此可知
A项符合题意。
9.D 推理判断题。根据第二段的
“HUNCH
is
designed
to
connect
high
school
classrooms
with
NASA
engineers…Gordon’s
students
have
been
studying
ways
to
kill
bacteria
in
zero
gravity…”可知,HUNCH项目旨在把高中课堂和NASA的工程师联系起来,Gordon的学生一直在研究如何在零重力状态下杀死细菌。再结合最后一段中的“Gordon
says
his
students
are
e-mailing
daily
with
NASA
engineers
about
the
problem…”可知,Gordon的学生们每天都给NASA(美国宇航局)的工程师发邮件和他们一起探讨如何杀死空间站的细菌这个问题。由此可推断出HUNCH项目的目的是把航天技术与学校教育相结合。故选D。
10.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“…‘I’ve
got
to
produce
this
product
and
then…’Engineers
come
and
really
do
an
in-person
review…It’s
a
hard
business
review
of
your
product.”可知,美国宇航局的工程师要检查学生所做的产品。分析选项可知A项符合题意,故选A。
11.B 主旨大意题。本文介绍了HUNCH项目把“如何杀死空间站的细菌”这一课题引入Gordon的课堂,让学生参与宇航员航天课题的研究,因此“太空:最后的作业前沿”能全面概括文章的大意,故选B。
D
【文章大意】
本文是一篇科普说明文,科学家通过实验证明人类并不是唯一怕痒的动物,老鼠和人类会产生同样的情绪。
12.A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“…that
humans,
given
their
thin
skin
and
the
unique
ability
to
laugh,
were
the
only
ticklish
animals.”可知,亚里士多德认为:人类怕痒,主要是因为人类的皮肤薄,而且还有笑的能力。故A项正确。
13.D 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“To
make
sure
that
he
had
indeed
found
a
place
in
the
brain
where
tickling
was
processed,
Ishiyama
then
stimulated
that
area
with
electrical
currents.”可知,为了确认他确实发现了脑部处理挠痒痒的区域,Ishiyama用电流刺激老鼠大脑的该区域。也就是说科学家们这样做是为了证明自己的发现。故D项正确。
14.C 推理判断题。根据第四段首句“‘It’s
a
truly
ground
breaking
discovery…”和尾句“‘It
takes
the
study
of
emotion
to
a
new
level.’”可知,这项新发现把对情绪的研究推向了一个新水平。故C项正确。
15.D 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段内容可知,一项新的发现告诉我们人类并不是唯一怕痒的动物,老鼠也怕痒,文章对这一新发现进行了详细说明。故D项正确。
第二节
【文章大意】
这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了如今在18到33岁的人群中普遍存在着FOMO,即社交控。同时作者介绍了该如何处理社交控的问题。
16.C 结合上文“In
fact,
missing
out
on
something
bothers
most
teenagers
so
much
that
there
is
even
a
special
word
for
that
sick
feeling:
FOMO.(事实上,错过某些事情会让大多数青少年非常烦恼,甚至有一个专门的词来形容这种恶心的感觉:社交控。)”以及后文“FOMO,
which
was
added
to
The
Oxford
English
Dictionary
in
2013,
refers
to
that
anxious
feeling
people
get
when
they
realize
they
are
not
attending
a
social
event.(2013年,FOMO一词被收入《牛津英语词典》。社交控指的是当人们意识到自己没有参加社交活动时产生的焦虑感。)”可知,本句应当承上启下解释词语FOMO的意义,故C选项“简单来说,FOMO代表‘害怕错过’。”符合上下文语境。故选C。
17.B 根据下文“In
fact,
one
survey
found
that
two
thirds
of
people
in
this
age
group
admitted
to
experiencing
FOMO
regularly.(事实上,一项调查发现,这个年龄段中有三分之二的人承认有社交控。)”可推知本句应当说明有社交控的人群的年龄段。故B选项“社交控在18至33岁的人群中尤为普遍。”符合上下文语境。故选B。
18.G 根据下文“Teenagers
may
still
worry
that
they
are
missing
out,
even
if
they
are
not
on
social
media
at
all.(青少年可能仍然担心他们错过了什么,即使他们根本不接触社交媒体。)”可知,就算是将手机关机也不能消除社交控,因为青少年仍然会担心他们错过了什么。故G选项“但仅仅把手机调成‘关机’状态并不能消除社交控带来的感觉。”符合上下文语境。故选G。
19.F 根据上文“The
key
is
to
turn
off
the
technology
and
do
something
else
like
reading
a
book,
giving
a
friend
make-up,
baking
cookies—anything
that
allows
them
to
focus
on
something
other
than
social
media.(关键是关掉科技设备,做点别的事情,比如读书、给朋友化妆、烤饼干——任何能让他们专注于社交媒体以外的事情。)”可知,本段是在说明消除社交控的办法,空处应承接上文进行总结。故F选项“这样做,青少年就不会只盯着屏幕,而变得更加活跃。”符合上下文语境。故选F。
20.E 结合下文“Photos
can
be
deceiving(骗人的).
And
even
though
it
looks
as
if
their
friends
are
having
a
good
time,
this
may
not
be
the
case.
They
should
never
let
the
fact
that
they
couldn’t
be
somewhere
affect
their
view
of
themselves.(照片可能具有欺骗性。尽管看起来他们的朋友玩得很开心,但事实可能并非如此。他们不应该让他们不能在某个地方的事实影响他们对自己的看法。)”可知,即使青少年不能去参加聚会或活动也不代表他们就错过了什么。故E选项“但这并不一定意味着他们错过了什么。”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【点睛】
阅读七选五做题技巧:做题的时候边读边做。各个问题附近的句子都需要重点阅读,圈画一些线索,再从选项中寻找相关的特征词用来判断正确答案。带入排除法也是一种很好的方法。另外,如果发现有一题拿不准,先跳过,先做容易的题,直到读完整篇文章。至此,文章的要点和主旨、各个段落之间的逻辑关系应该基本清楚了。然后再回过去做之前不确定的题目。

第一节
【文章大意】

第二节
【文章大意】
本文叙述了热带雨林在人们生活中的重要作用,热带雨林能吸收热量,调节地球上的温度,还能提供一些植物药材为人类治病,因此,我们要保护热带雨林,不要滥垦滥伐。
36.covered 考查非谓语动词。此处是过去分词作后置定语,故答案为covered。
37.Without 考查介词。根据语境可知没有森林的覆盖,这些区域会反射更多的热量到大气层,使世界的其他地方温度升高。故填Without。
38.warming 考查非谓语动词。空格处为非谓语形式,前后为主动关系,前面是这个结果的原因,故需用现在分词作结果状语,故填warming。
39.have
begun 考查时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语in
the
past
hundred
years,可知句子用现在完成时,主语是humans,为复数形式,故填have
begun。

41.obviously 考查词形转换。需用副词obviously修饰动词have。
42.but 考查并列连词。人们显然需要我们从砍伐树木中获得的资源,但是比起受益,我们将更受苦。根据上下文可知此处是转折关系,故填but。
43.medical 考查词形转换。句中指“医学价值”。需用形容词medical修饰名词。
44.that 考查固定句型。It
is
likely

45.lies 考查时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知句子用一般现在时,主语是our
best
chance,需用第三人称单数形式,故填lies。

One
possible
version:
Dad
put
the
box
on
the
ground
and
opened
the
top.
A
shiny
little
wet
nose
popped
up.
Then
two
fluffy
paws.
Next
the
box
tipped
over
sideways,
and
out
tumbled
a
mass
of
wiggly
golden
silliness.
Poppy
was
amazed.
She
wagged
happily.
She
barked
with
joy.
She
smiled,
her
tongue
lolling
out
as
she
investigated
the
surprise.
The
little
pup
was
not
shy
and
immediately
starting
yipping
and
jumping
around
the
older
dog.“That
didn’t
take
long,”
remarked
Mum,
as
both
dogs
went
roaring
around
the
house
in
an
impromptu
game
of
chase.
Dad
laughed.
A
few
weeks
later,
the
boy
arrived
home
from
university.
He
had
missed
Poppy
and
was
looking
forward
to
seeing
her.
When
he
bent
down
to
give
her
a
big
hug,
he
fell
over
in
surprise
as
a
small
golden
cloud
came
racing
up
to
lick
his
face
too.“Oh
my
gosh,
who
is
this?”
he
exclaimed.
His
parents
laughed
at
the
look
of
shock
on
his
face.“That’s
Pee-wee,”
said
Dad.“I
can’t
believe
you
got
yourselves
a
puppy!”“We
didn’t,”
replied
Mum.
“This
puppy
is
for
Poppy!”
