答案B解析詞義猜測(cè)題。由第三段第一句開頭的“Sadly”可知undoing表示一個(gè)“消極的,非人們所期望的”詞義,故排除C項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng);再由下一句可知旅鴿遭到人類的捕殺,故排除A項(xiàng),選擇B項(xiàng)。wasthemainreasonforpeopletokillpassengerpigeons?tectcrops.答案C解析推理判斷題。由第三段第三句和第四句可知,旅鴿遭到捕殺的主要原因是人們?yōu)榱藪赍X。canweinferaboutthelawpassedinMichigan?wasignoredbythepublic.wasdeclaredtoolate.wasunfair.wasstrict.答案B解析推理判斷題。由最后一段的第一、二句可知,雖然密歇根州通過(guò)了禁止捕殺旅鴿的法律,但那時(shí)已經(jīng)為時(shí)已晚。DAtypicalliontamer(馴獸師)inpeople’smindisanentertainerholdingawhip(鞭)andawhipgetsalloftheattention,butit’smostlyforreality,it’sthechairthatdoestheimportantaliontamerholdsachairinfrontofthelion’sface,theliontriestofocusonallfourlegsofthechairatthesameitsfocusdivided,thelionbecomesconfusedandisunsureaboutwhattodofacedwithsomanyoptions,thelionchoosestofreezeandwaitinsteadofattackingthemanholdingthechair.Howoftendoyoufindyourselfinthesamepositionasthelion?Howoftendoyouhavesomethingyouwanttoachieveweight,startabusiness,travelmore)—onlytoendupconfusedbyalloftheoptionsinfrontofyouandnevermakeprogress?Thisupsetsmetonoendbecausewhilealltheexpertsarebusydebatingaboutwhichoptionisbest,thepeoplewhowanttoimprovetheirlivesareleftconfusedbyalloftheconflictingendresultisthatwefeellikewecan’tfocusorthatwe’refocusedonthewrongthings,andsowetakelessaction,makelessprogress,andstaythesamewhenwecouldbeimproving.Itdoesn’thavetobethatyoufindtheworldwavingachairinyourface,rememberthis:Allyouneedtodoisfocusononejustneedtogetbeforeyoufeelreadyisoneofthehabitsofsuccessfulyouhavesomewhereyouwanttogo,somethingyouwanttoaccomplish,someoneyouwanttobecome...takeimmediateyou’reclearaboutwhereyouwanttogo,therestoftheworldwilleitherhelpyougetthereorgetoutoftheway.doestheliontameruseachair?trickthelion.showoffhisskills.getreadyforafight.entertaintheaudience.答案A解析推理判斷題。由第一段可知,馴獸師拿著椅子的目的就是為了讓獅子感到不知所措。由此推出答案是A項(xiàng)。whatsensearepeoplesimilartoalionfacingachair?feelpuzzledoverchoices.holdontothewrongthings.findithardtomakechanges.havetodosomethingforshow.答案A解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的最后“onlytoendupconfusedbyalloftheoptionsinfrontofyouandnevermakeprogress”可知,人類和獅子的相似之處是:面臨許多選擇時(shí)會(huì)感到困惑。istheauthor’sattitudetowardstheexpertsmentionedinParagraph3?. .. .答案B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知,專家們對(duì)最佳選擇爭(zhēng)論不休,而那些想提高生活的人們對(duì)這些矛盾的信息困惑不解,作者對(duì)此感到心煩。由此可知,專家的做法無(wú)助于問(wèn)題的解決,作者對(duì)他們持懷疑態(tài)度。theworldis“wavingachairinyourface”,you’readvisedto.

答案C解析根據(jù)上下文可知,她姐姐生病了,所以她要對(duì)她進(jìn)行護(hù)理。raise“養(yǎng)育,撫養(yǎng)”;teach“教授”;nurse“護(hù)理,照顧”;miss“想念”。故C項(xiàng)正確。 答案B解析在她照顧姐姐的這幾年里,她也漸漸對(duì)醫(yī)學(xué)產(chǎn)生了興趣,從而使她以后走上了醫(yī)學(xué)這條道路。habit“習(xí)慣”;interest“興趣”;opinion“觀點(diǎn)”;voice“嗓音”。故只有B項(xiàng)正確。 答案D解析她18歲結(jié)婚成家。start“創(chuàng)建”。故選D項(xiàng)。 答案A解析根據(jù)第二段可知,她想當(dāng)一名醫(yī)生,并走向了求學(xué)的道路。故選A項(xiàng)。 答案B解析她想學(xué)醫(yī),然而加拿大的醫(yī)學(xué)院不招收女生。這對(duì)她來(lái)說(shuō)是“不幸地”,故選B項(xiàng)unfortunately。 答案D解析學(xué)校不接收女生。hire“租用”;entertain“娛樂(lè),款待”;trust“信任”;accept“接收”。根據(jù)句意可知D項(xiàng)正確。 答案C解析加拿大的醫(yī)學(xué)院不收女學(xué)生,因此她去了美國(guó)費(fèi)城的女子醫(yī)學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)醫(yī)學(xué)。故選C項(xiàng)。 答案D解析她在那里學(xué)習(xí)了五年,并獲得了學(xué)位。improve“提高”;save“節(jié)省”;design“設(shè)計(jì)”;earn“掙得,贏得”。根據(jù)句意可知D項(xiàng)正確。 答案A解析文章第一段介紹她在五歲時(shí)搬到了蒙特利爾,第二段又介紹主人公去了美國(guó)學(xué)習(xí),然后學(xué)成歸來(lái),故此處應(yīng)該是再次回到蒙特利爾,故只有A項(xiàng)正確。 答案C解析根據(jù)下文31空后的doctor,可知回到家鄉(xiāng)之后,她建立了一家私人診所,成了一名醫(yī)生。故選C項(xiàng)。 答案A解析下文提到她的許多病人的情況,因此表示她忙于治病,再次成為一名忙碌的醫(yī)生。故選A項(xiàng)。 答案B解析她忙著給受傷的肢體做手術(shù)。findoneselfdoingsth.“發(fā)覺自己處于某種處境”往往含有一種不自覺的意味。 答案C解析根據(jù)前面提到的damaged可以得知,此處應(yīng)為斷骨。故選C項(xiàng)。away overin for答案D解析但是她卻始終沒有醫(yī)師執(zhí)照,因此她在這兩個(gè)地方申請(qǐng)獲得醫(yī)師執(zhí)照。putaway“收起來(lái),放好”;takeover“接管”;turnin“上交”;applyfor“申請(qǐng)”。根據(jù)句意可知D項(xiàng)正確。 答案B解析根據(jù)上文的but以及下文第38空后的“too,refused”可知,她被拒絕了。故選B項(xiàng)。 答案D解析夏洛特是在美國(guó)完成醫(yī)學(xué)專業(yè)學(xué)習(xí)的,而ManitobaCollegeofPhysiciansandSurgeons想讓她在加拿大的大學(xué)完成學(xué)習(xí)然后才能給她頒發(fā)執(zhí)照。同時(shí)根據(jù)下文的spendtimestudying可知,選D項(xiàng)。 答案A解析但是夏洛特拒絕這樣做,她不能離開她的病人去上學(xué),故此處要用leave“離開”。故選A項(xiàng)。 答案C解析因此她于1887年訴諸曼尼托巴議會(huì),要求頒發(fā)執(zhí)照。sell“出售”;donate“捐贈(zèng)”;issue“發(fā)行,頒發(fā)”;show“展現(xiàn)”。根據(jù)句意可知C項(xiàng)正確。此外,40空后的句子也提到了issue這個(gè)詞。 答案A解析再次被拒之后,她繼續(xù)無(wú)照行醫(yī),直到1912年。故選A項(xiàng)。 答案B解析上文提到她73歲去世,此處是1993年,應(yīng)該是她去世之后77年。故選B項(xiàng)。第Ⅱ卷第二部分:英語(yǔ)知識(shí)運(yùn)用(共兩節(jié),滿分45分)第二節(jié)(共10小題;每小題分,滿分15分)閱讀下面材料,在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容(1個(gè)單詞)或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。Abeautifulwomanandamanwereinvolvedinacaroftheircarswere41.(bad)damaged,butneitherofthemwashurt.
