D.SomethingtoGrandma’staste.4.Whatisthebesttitleofthetext?A.TheGoodOldDays B.TheGiftofGratitudeC.TheThoughtThatCounts D.TheInspirationfromBasketball【答案】1.A2.A3.B4.C【分析】這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了作者給奶奶準(zhǔn)備生日禮物的故事。1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段“Herfingersaresostiffwitharthritis(關(guān)節(jié)炎)thatthephoneseemsagoodidea.（她的手指因關(guān)節(jié)炎而僵硬，所以這個電話作為禮物似乎是個很好的主意。）”可知奶奶的手指動起來有困難。故選A。2.詞義猜測題。畫線句“Justthinkingaboutthatcandydishmademetastethepeppermintslowlydissolvingonmytongue.（一想到那盤糖果，我就嘗到了在舌頭上慢慢溶解的薄荷味。）”中的“tastethepeppermint（嘗到了薄荷味）”可知糖在舌頭融化，所以“dissolving”的意義為“融化”，故選A。3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段最后一句“ThinkingaboutGranddadmademesigh.Grandma’slifewasalothappierwhenhewasalive.（想到爺爺，我不禁嘆了口氣。他活著的時候奶奶的生活要快樂得多。）”結(jié)合倒數(shù)第二段“Justthinkingaboutthatcandydishmademetastethepeppermintslowlydissolvingonmytongue.IcouldalmosthearGrandmasaying，“Helpyourselftoapieceofpeppermint,Burt.”Thatvoicehadasmilebehindit.ItwasavoiceIhadn’theardforalongtime.（一想到那盤糖果，我就嘗到了在舌頭上慢慢溶解的薄荷味。我?guī)缀跄苈牭侥棠陶f:“吃塊薄荷吧，Burt?！蹦锹曇舯澈髱е⑿ΑＤ鞘且粋€我很久沒有聽到的聲音。）”可知作者想起了以前的歡樂的事情，一些具有從前記憶的東西也許能讓奶奶開心，可推測作者最后會去買帶來美好回憶的東西作為禮物。故選B。4.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段“Butwhataboutme?HereIwaswithonlyonedollarinmypocketandonenighttothinkofagift.EventhoughMomalwaysinsistedthat“it’sthethoughtthatcounts,”（但是我呢?我只有一美元在我的口袋和一個晚上想一件禮物。盡管媽媽總是堅持認為“心意才是最重要的”，）”可知作者想要給奶奶買禮物，但是錢不夠，媽媽的觀點是“心意是最重要的”，結(jié)合下文作者想了很久才想到帶著美好記憶的禮物，可知“心意才是最重要的”適合做本文的標(biāo)題，故選C。2Settinggoalsiscommoninourlife.Welookahead,predictwhatmaymakeushappyinthefuture,andthennarrowdownthethingstosomethingspecific.Forthemostpart,havinggoalsisbetterthannothavingany,buttherearealsoproblemsthatcomewithspendinganentirelifelivingfromgoaltogoal.Foronething,wetrytopredictanunpredictablefuture.Whoistosaythatwhatyouwantnextyearisthesamethingyouwantrightnow?Whatifwhatyouwantrightnowisn'tintherightdirectionoverthelongterm?Secondly,andjustasimportantly,youonlyconfineyourexpectationsofhappinessandsatisfactiontothegoalyouhavesetsothatyouoftenforgetthatotherthingsinyourlifecanalsoaddjustasmuchjoytoyourexperience.Thiscreatesastrangeproblem.Tosolvethisproblem,wehavetomovetowardssomethingmoreunclear.Goingafterinterestingness.Ithink,iswhatweshoulddo.Interestingnessdoesn'tmeanlookingforpleasureonly.It’sdeeperthanthat.It'sdoingthatrandom(隨機的)projectyouhadnoplantodobecauseyouhaveafeelingthatyoumightjustlearnsomethingyoudidn'tknowaboutyourself.It'sseeingapersonyoujustmetnotasapossiblepartnerorsomeonewhocandosomethingforyoubutsimplyassomeonewhomayopenanew,unknownanduniqueworldforyou.Goalsincorrectlyassume(假設(shè))thatwealreadyknowwhatwewant.Interestingnessismoremodest.Itmakesupitsmindasitmoves,slowlyblowingfromonethingtoanother,untilitcatchessomethingthatliesbeyondpredictionatlast.5.Settinggoalsistopredictanunpredictablefuturebecause__________.A.itignorespossiblechangesinourlifeB.itprovesmeaninglessinthelongrunC.itmayleadustotheoppositedirectionD.itfailstoreachourtruepossibilities6.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“Confine”probablymeaninthethirdparagraph?A.Devote.

B.Adictionary.C.Atravelbrochure. D.Amagazine.【答案】9.D10.C11.A12.D【分析】這是一篇說明文。主要介紹了荷蘭一位年輕的發(fā)明家發(fā)明的一個浮動的可以采集塑料垃圾的設(shè)備。9.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Thedeviceispoweredbyenergyfromthesun.”可知，這個裝置是由太陽能驅(qū)動的，故選D項。10.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Thedeviceisdesignedtobesafeinrivers.Itsnoseisshapedtochangedirectionstokeepitawayfromlargerfloatingthings.（這個裝置被設(shè)計成在河流中是安全的。這個裝置的“鼻子”可以改變方向，使它遠離較大的漂浮物。）”可知，這個裝置的“鼻子”使這個裝置遠離較大的漂浮物，以確保它的安全，故選C項。11.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中的“AyoungDutchinventoriswideninghisefforttocleanupfloating(浮動的)plasticfromthePacificOcean.Hehasdevelopedafloatingdevice(設(shè)備)tocatchplasticwastemovingintoriversbeforeitreachestheoceans.”可知，荷蘭一位年輕的發(fā)明家發(fā)明了一個浮動的可以采集塑料垃圾的設(shè)備；第二段“…Lastyear,Slatshowedthenextstep:afloatingdevicecalledInterceptor.Ittakesplasticoutofrivers.Thedeviceispoweredbyenergyfromthesun…”提到了這個裝置的工作原理等；第三段“Sincetheywereused,themachineshavebeendoingverywell,collectingtheplasticbottlesandalltherubbishintherivers…”提到，這個裝置的應(yīng)用情況；第四段“Thedeviceisdesignedtobesafeinrivers….”提到這個裝置的安全問題。所以A項Afloatingdeviceforcatchingplasticwaste(收集塑料廢物的浮動裝置)為短文最佳標(biāo)題，故選A項。12.推理判斷題。要介紹了荷蘭一位年輕的發(fā)明家發(fā)明的一個浮動的可以采集塑料垃圾的設(shè)備。所以短文是關(guān)于發(fā)明創(chuàng)造和環(huán)保的體裁。由此推斷出本文出自雜志，故選D項。4HaveyoueverwonderedhowyourfavoriteNBAteamreceiveditsfamousname?AllNBAteamshaveaninterestingstoryorahistorybehindtheirnames.Someofthenamesreflectthecity'scultureorhistory,otherscamefrompreviousownersandmanywereselectedthrough“NametheTeam”contests.ForteamslikeLosAngelesandUtah,thenameswerenotalwaysareflectionofthecity.EventhoughLosAngeleshasnolakes,theLakernamehasbeenacitytreasureforalmost40years.BeforegoingtoLosAngeles,theteamoriginatedinMinneapolis,Minnesota.In1948,teamofficialschosethenameforitsdirectrelationshiptothestate’smotto,“TheLandof10,000Lakes.”TheteamnamewentunchangedaftermovingtoLosAngelesin1960.BecauseUtah’steamoriginatedinNewOrleans,Louisiana,itwascalledtheJazz.In1974,NewOrleansclubofficialschosethenametorepresent(代表)thecityforitsreputationasthe“jazzcapitaloftheworld.”ThenamestayedwiththeteamevenafterfindinganewhomeinSaltLakeCity,Utahin1979.TheChicagoBull’soriginalowner,RichardKlein,namedtheteamtheBulls.Hepickedthenamebecauseafightingbullisrelentless,andnevergivesup.Klein,whofoundedtheclubin1966,believedthesequalitieswerenecessaryforachampionshipteamandhopedhisChicagoathleteswouldliveuptotheteamname.ItisabeliefthatBulls-winnerofthesixNBAchampionships-havedefinitelyfollowed.In1967,theIndianPacersselectedtheirteamnameinadifferentwayfrommostotherteams.TheirdecisionwasbasedonwhattheywantedtoaccomplishintheNBA.TeamofficialschosethePacersnamebecausetheorganizationwantedtosetthe“pace”inprofessionalbasketball.13.Whichcanbethebesttitleforthispassage?A.HistoryofNBAB.InterestingStoriesaboutNBAC.FamousNBATeamsD.StoriesbehindthenamesofNBATeams14.LosAngeles’teamisnamed“theLaker”because____________.A.theteamgotthisnameinanothercity,whichhadalotoflakesB.itwasnamedafteracitytreasureC.LosAngelesisacityoflakesD.thenamewasselectedfroma“NametheTeam”contest15.“Jazzcapitaloftheworld”refersto___________.A.SaltLakeCity

D.Indifferent.【答案】17.B18.B19.A20.C【分析】這是一篇說明文。作者對Facebook在其平臺上“隱藏贊”這一行為進行了客觀的分析和評價。17.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Wesinkintoself-loathing(自我討厭)andcomparison.Therefore,afterexperimentingwithhidinglikesonInstagraminselectcountries,Facebookisexploringdoingthesameonitsmainplatform.”可知，我們陷入自我厭惡和攀比之中。因此，在某些國家試驗了在Instagram上隱藏“喜歡”之后，F(xiàn)acebook正在探索在其主要平臺上做同樣的事情。由此可知，F(xiàn)acebook試圖在其主要平臺上隱藏“喜歡”，以減少其他人的嫉妒。故選B項。18.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“RelyingonFacebooktolookafteritsusers’mentalhealthisabitlikeaskingMcDonald’stokeepitscustomers’bloodpressureundercontrol:Atsomepoint,acompany’sneedtomakemoneyisnotinlinewithitssupposeddesiretodogood.”可知，依賴Facebook來照顧用戶的心理健康，有點像要求麥當(dāng)勞控制顧客的血壓：在某種程度上，一家公司賺錢的需要與它理應(yīng)做善事的愿望是不一致的。因此，我們從Facebook和麥當(dāng)勞的對比中可以看出，F(xiàn)acebook不太關(guān)心用戶的心理健康。故選B項。19.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“Thecompany’ssuccessreliesuponyoupostingmoreandencouragingmore“engagement”fromotherpeoplesothatthevalueofFacebook’stargetedadbusinessincrease.”可知，公司的成功依賴于你發(fā)布更多的信息并鼓勵更多的人參與進來，這樣Facebook的目標(biāo)廣告業(yè)務(wù)的價值才會增加。由此可知，更多用戶的engagement，對于Facebook來說意味著更高的商業(yè)價值。故選A項。20.推理判斷題。A.Critical批評的；B.Positive.積極的；C.Objective.客觀的；D.Indifferent.中立的。根據(jù)文章最后一句“Withoutadoubt,hidinglikescanhavesomebenefit,butthewayFacebookisbuiltmeansthatthiswillalwaysbeasmallstepatbest.(毫無疑問，隱藏“贊”會有一些好處，但Facebook的構(gòu)建方式意味著這充其量只是一小步)”可知，作者對Facebook的行為給與了肯定，但是又根據(jù)其構(gòu)建方式來評論其行為只是一小步。由此可知，作者的觀點非?？陀^。故選C項。6King'sPoint(Canada)(AFP)—Atdusk,touristsarcamazedatthebreakdownofanicebergattheendofitslongjourneyfromGreenlandtoCanada'scastcoast,whichnowhasafrontrowscattothemelting(觸化）oftheArctic’sice.Whiletherestoftheworldnervouslyeyestheeffectofglobalwarming,meltingicebergshavebreathednewlifeintothefarcoastalvillagesofNewfoundlandandLabrador.Onceacenterofcod(鱈魚)fishing,theprovincenowplayshosttolargegroupsofphotographersandtouristshopingtosecthebreathtakingicemelt.Aswinterends,icebergfindingbegins.Theincreaseintourismaroundhereinthepast10to15yearshasbeenunbelievable.Lastyear,atotalof500,000touristsvisitedNewfoundlandandLabrador,anumberalmostaslargeastheprovince'stotalpopulation.Thosevisitorsspentnearly$433million,governmentnumbersshow.Thetourismboomhashelpedsolvethedecreaseintheregionstraditionalfishingindustry,whichisincrisis(危機)becauseofoverfishingattheendofthelastcentury.Butundertheshinysurfaceofeconomicsuccessisthedarktruththattheareaisinpartprofitingfromglobalwarming.TheArcticiswarmingthreelimesfasterthantherestoftheworld.Inmid-July,recordtemperatureswererecordedneartheNorthPole.Inrecentyears,theicebergshavetraveledfurtherandfurthersouth.Fornow,touristsarcenjoyingtheviewandtheexperiencewhiletheycan.LaurentLucazcau,a34-year-oldFrenchtourist,saidseeinganicebergwasupsetting.“Itisapictureofglobalwarmingtoseeicebergsmakingittotheseplaceswherethewateriswarm,”hetoldAFP.“There’ssomethingmysteriousandimpressiveaboutit,butknowingtoothattheyarcnotsupposedtobeheremakesyouwonder,andit’salittlescary.”21.WhatcanwelearnaboutthetourisminNewfoundlandandLabrador?A.Itbenefitslocaleconomy.

新聞報道和廣告之間的區(qū)別？）”再結(jié)合文章主要是為了讓作者能夠區(qū)分新聞和廣告，可推知第一段的目的是讓讀者對將要談?wù)摰脑掝}感興趣并參與其中。故選D。25.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的“Sponsoredmeans“paidfor,”andcontentreferstotheinformationinthestory.（贊助的意思是“付費的”，內(nèi)容指的是故事里的信息）”以及“"Sponsoredcontent"isawayofsayingthatsomethingisanad”（“贊助內(nèi)容”是一種表示某物是廣告的方式）可推知，Sponsoredcontent（贊助內(nèi)容）指的是需要付費閱讀的內(nèi)容。即，一個網(wǎng)站因允許某些東西出現(xiàn)在上面而得到報酬。故選A。26.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Solookforthephrasesponsoredcontent.TheInternetisavastseaofinformation.Touseitwell,wenotonlyhavetoknowhowtoswimbutalsohowtoavoidthesharks.”（因此尋找“贊助內(nèi)容”?；ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)是一個巨大的信息海洋。為了很好地使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)，我們不僅要知道如何“游泳”，而且還應(yīng)該知道如何避免“鯊魚”。）可知，這里的“游泳”指的是在無窮盡的信息海洋里閱讀，而“鯊魚”指的是需要避免的信息/內(nèi)容。再由倒數(shù)第三段中的““Sponsoredcontent”isawayofsayingthatsomethingisanad.（“贊助內(nèi)容”是一種表示某物是廣告的方式）”可知，出現(xiàn)贊助方的信息意味著讀者讀到的是一則廣告。綜上
