2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯
【答案】We are now living in an information age, in which TV, cells/cell phones and the Wb are widely used. It seems that many people cannot enjoy themselves without them.
However, if I had to give up one of them, I would turn off TV rather than switch off my cell or cut off the Internet. I could do without TV because of few shows take my fancy and there’re too many commercials. Besides, most programs on TV are also available elsewhere.
As for cells and the Web, they are more necessary to me. I need a cell to keep in touch with my friends and family, and almost all information can be gathered on the internet. 【解析】略
6. Eric and Doris King Turner are packing their bags for New Zealand. They're busy deciding what to pack and what to leave behind in Britain and are making plans to extend their new
home in Nelson. Doris is looking forward to getting the garden into shape and Eric has his heart set on a spot of fly fishing. The difference is that Eric is 102, Doris is 87. Eric thinks he's Britain's oldest emigrant. In January next year Eric King Turner and his wife of 12 years will wave goodbye to their
neighbors, and set sail from Southampton on the voyage of a lifetime. The ocean liner (远洋客轮)Saga Rose will take six weeks to get to Auckland and the couple are expecting a red-carpet welcome from family.
Doris was born in New Zealand but gave up her homeland when the couple met and married in the late 1990s. But New Zealand is close to both their hearts and the attraction of family and friends, and the good fishing helped to persuade them to move.
Doris, who has five children and nine grandchildren, supported her husband's application to settle in New Zealand. The paperwork took five months. Eric says, \"We not only had to produce a marriage certificate（证书） but we had to produce evidence that we were in a long and
stable relationship!\" He also said he was not asked about his age but had to show that he could support himself financially (财政上) in New Zealand.
\"I like New Zealand. The way of life is very much the same as it is here but it is not so crowded.\" His wife has always been “a little bit homesick” but has never complained. Now the couple are in the middle of the task of sorting out possessions and selling their flat.
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．They decided to leave all the things behind in Britain. B．The wife always complained about the life in Britain. C．The couple will set up their new home in Nelson.

Australia, the last continent, was discovered by ships 56 (belong) to some European nations in the seventeenth century. These nations were 57 (little) interested in changing it into a colony than in 58 (explore) it. As in the early history of the United States, it was the English 59 set up the settlements in
Australia. This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.
Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich 60 soil. It was on the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this
westward 61 (move) took place 62 because the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing. Settlements of the west part of both countries developed quickly after gold 63 (discover) in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.
Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are
some (strike) differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to
war. Australia, 65 (like) the United States, was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising.

Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world. 【答案】56. belonging 57. less 58. exploring 59. who/that 60.in 61. movement 62. more 63. was discovered . striking 65. unlike 【解析】略

second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as \"Baby Doe\". Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhaps he was attracted by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the
small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. \"A large amount of lead is sure to be found here.\" he said. As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to \"grubstake\" prospective（预期的） miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or\"grub\ore（矿石）, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.
Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for \"grub\". Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent（坚持的）, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. \"Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference,\" He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the
mountainside and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the \"Pittsburgh Mine,\" made $1,300, 000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.
Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000.This turned out to be even more abundant than the Pittsburgh, producing $35 000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became the governor of the state.
1. The word \"grubstake\" in paragraph 2 means __________ . A. to supply miners with food and supplies B. to open a general store
C. to do one’s contribution to the development of the mine
D. to supply miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered
2. The underlying（潜在的）reason for Tabor’s successful life career is __________. A. purely accidental
B. based on the analysis of miner’s being very poor and their possibility of discovering profitable mining site
C. through the help from his second wife
D. he planned well and accomplished targets step by step
3. If this passage is the first part of an article, who might be introduced in the following part? A. Tabor’s life. B. Tabor’s second wife, Elizabeth McCourt. C. Other colorful characters. D. Tabor’s other careers. 【解析】略

24. One August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp（黄蜂） nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become
more likely to sting (sting, sting, stung蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.
“Oh, they don’t bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”
Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest again—— to see the wasps flying straight at him. “Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey. “Get in!”
She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were upon him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm, and he felt more on his back and shoulders.
As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. And immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didn’t know what that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.
Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike（话筒）, trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly
understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Department’s north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it. Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to panic, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock（休克）. Just then he reached for the radio mike again.
“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.” “Five-ten,” the center replied.
Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.
At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.
【1】It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _______. A．there are huge noises B．strangers are approaching C．the air is filled with food smell D．the hottest season comes around
【答案】D
【2】Allen didn’t know that if stung by wasps again, he would _______. A．have no after-effects B．suffer from sharper pain C．surely lose his life
D．become more sensitive
【答案】C
【3】Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _______.
A．he was unable to speak clearly B．his radio equipment was poor C．he was in a state of shock D．no one was on duty
【答案】A
【4】Which would be the best title for the passage? A．Allen, A Helpless Driver B．Wasps, Bloody Killers C．A Race Against Death D．War Against Wasps
【答案】C
25. Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle.Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins , and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone.
Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to
embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision of a fitness instructor. If you're tired of wandering around the gym wasting time and becoming bored, !you can attend an upbeat group fitness class that'll keep your workout on track. Don't let
fitness frighten you!
If you're serious about wanting to live a healthy lifestyle, it's extremely important to surround yourself with people who'll provide you with the proper emotional support. I wouldn't scold
anyone for deciding to party on weekends and in turn I wouldn't expect anyone to give offence to me for focusing on my health. Surround yourself with people who uplift, encourage and
understand you! Make fitness even more fun by trying something new or any group fitness class, with a friend. Plan to go for a jog together. Then try a fun healthy restaurant or fresh juice bar! Fitness can be both fun and social!
Surrounding yourself with people who'll provide you with respect support can be very beneficial while working towards reaching health and fitness goals. First, decide to do it for yourself and work towards staying positive. Then make sure the people you surround yourself with are
supportive. Don't let negativity ruin your motivation. 【1】The first paragraph focuses on .

30. A full-time nanny is employed by the parents to provide high quality childcare for their children and to undertake all tasks related to the providing of that care. Nannies provide childcare in the family’s private home.
Full-time nannies with parents meet the physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs of the children. They typically do the children’s laundry, keep the children’s areas neat and clean, and prepare meals and snacks for the children. Depending on the age of the child and the family’s needs, the nanny may be responsible for bathing the child, transporting the child to activities
and assisting the child with homework.
Since nannies work in the private home and serve as caretakers, and educators, nannies must be trustworthy. Nannies are often hired so that parents can fulfill their personal and professional tasks. For this reason, nannies must be dependable and reliable.
Full-time nannies work on average 40 to 60 hours per week and may live with the family as live-in nannies. For parents who hire a live-in nanny, at minimum they should provide a separate bedroom and bathroom and all meals and snacks. One of the benefits of nanny care is that the parents set the nannies weekly schedule. Nannies are typically required to have some scheduling flexibility.
Nanny employers must pay what is commonly referred to as the nanny tax, which includes social security taxes and medicare taxes, total about 7. 65% of the nanny’s wages.

The system，called driver Alert，aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%—40% that are caused by tiredness．Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue．
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband．The device，worn by drivers or pilots gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey．After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘)．A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response．
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time．Usually，a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond，but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds，it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy．
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds，showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest．If the driver’s response continues to slow down，the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warms that the driver must stop as soon as possible．
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing．If these tests，scheduled for six months’ time，are successful，the markers will bring the product to market within about a year．

35. Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in
Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman. Thirty years have passed, but Odland can not get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It is OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter. Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Instead, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.
The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management. “A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”
【1】What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress? A．He was fired. B．He was blamed.
C．The woman comforted him.
D．The woman left the restaurant at once.
【答案】C
【解析】C 细节题。根据第二段第二句She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It is OK. It wasn’t your fault.”可知这位女士没有责备他，反而安慰他说：没关系。故C正确。
【2】Odland learned one of his life lessons from . A．his experience as a waiter B．the advice given by the CEOs C．an article in Fortune
D．an interesting best-selling book
【答案】A
【解析】A 推理题。根据第二段最后一句When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.可知当这位女士离开的时候，她让Odland明白了真正的CEO的人品是可以通过她对待服务员的方式判断出来的。也就是说Odland从他做服务员的经历中学会了这个教训。故A正确。
【3】According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ________. A．Fortune 500 companies B．the Management Rules C．Swanson’s book D．the Waiter Rule
【答案】D
【解析】D 细节题。根据文章第三段第三句It’s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about
anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule.可知让一个CEO同意某件事情是很困难的，但是大部分的CEO都赞成the Waiter Rule,故D正确。
【4】From the text we can learn that ________. A．one should be nicer to important people B．CEOs often show their power before others
C．one should respect others no matter who they are D．CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants
【答案】C
【解析】C 推理题。作者通过介绍Odland在做服务员时，不小心把冰激凌掉到了一位女士的身上，但这位女士并没有责备他，反而安慰他说没关系。由此，作者有了感慨：无论对方是什么人，我们都应该尊敬对方。故C正确。 【考点】考查人生感悟类阅读
36. Grant Wood’s American Gothic caused a stir（轰动）in 1930 when it was exhibited for the first time at the Art Institute of Chicago and awarded a prize of 300 dollars. Newspapers across the country carried the story, and the painting of a farmer and a younger woman posed before a white house brought the artist instant fame.
In 1930, Grant Wood, an American painter with European training, noticed a small white house built in the small southern Iowa town of Eldon. Wood was so fascinated by it that he decided to paint the house along with the kind of people he thought should live in that house. In the painting, the farmer is modeled on his dentist. Dr. Byron McKeeby. His younger sister Nan served as a model for the woman （imagined to be the farmer’s wife or daughter）. Wood wanted to give a description of the traditional roles of men and women as the man is holding a pitchfork symbolizing hard labor. Each element was painted separately; the models sat separately and never stood in front of the house. The Gothic style of the house inspired the painting’s title.
American Gothic remains one of the most famous paintings in the history of American art. The painting has become part of American popular culture. Some believe that Wood used it to
satirize（讽刺） the narrow-mindedness that has been said to characterize Midwestern culture. The painting may also be read as a praise of the moral virtue or rural America or even as a mixture of praise and satire. American Gothic is one of the few images to reach the status of cultural symbol, along with Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. 【1】Which of the following is true about American Gothic?

Christie wrote more than 30 novels featuring Poirot． Among the most popular were” The Murder of Roger Ackroyd”(1926)，“Murder on the Orient Expredd”(1934)，and “Death on the Nile” (1937)．
Another of Christie’s most well-known and beloved characters was introduced in “Murder at the Vicarage” in 1930．Miss Jane Marple， an elderly single in the old- fashioned English village of St． Mary Mead， solved all manner of mysteries with intense concentration and instinct． Christies ultimately (finally)became the acknowledged Queen of the Golden Age． In all， she wrote over 66 novel， numerous short stories and screenplays， and a series of romantic
novels using the pen name Mary Westmacott． Several of her works were made into successful feature films， the most notable being Murder on the Orient Express (1974)．In short， she is the single most popular mystery writer of all time． In 1971 she was awarded the high honor of becoming a Dame of the British Empire．

高考七选五解题方法
1.通读全文，了解文章大意。这是一个泛读的过程，目的是了解文章大意，为以后的理解做铺垫。 2.分析句型，了解语法构成
3.当我们了解了文章大意后，要明确每一个空是填一个整句子还是半个句子。这一点十分重要，它能够帮助我们迅速确定某些空的选项范围，比如，有一个空的结尾处没有标点符号，后文紧跟着一个句子的后半部分，很显然这时我们需要填的是半个句子，这时便可以在七个选项中找到是半个句子的选项，从而缩小选择范围。比如37小题，上一句写到每天都要产生新的电子产品，下一句写到把他们送到本地商店，他们可以被送给那些买不起新的的人，故选F。
4.明确关联关系。任何句子都是要么和上文有联系，要么和下文有联系，要么和上下文都有联系。比如第40小题，上一句改变世界要从小事开始，下一句但是积少成多。故选E小的变化似乎看起来不会影响世界。 5.带入通读，复查
做完题目切忌直接离开，这是我们很有必要将自己修正好的文章通读一遍，将其看做一片行文通顺语意连贯的文章来读，这是如果感到有含义不连贯的地方，很有可能是我们填错了空，就要复查了，注意：七选五的特点在于，错一道，往往还会错另外的一道或几道，我们叫做\"连错\"，所以当你发现自己有一处填的有问题时，一定要同时检查其他空。

43. It seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become
increasingly important assistants in their lives. As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities.
The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smartphone contacts, there's now no need to dial a number or look at it again. This is fine until you need to call someone for help, only to find your phone is not around. And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because navigation apps can guide people anywhere they want. People get so dependent on them that when they can't use their smartphones, they get lost and anxious.
But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially inept(的)People often bury themselves in their smartphones. As we're too absent-minded by what's happening in the virtual(虚拟的)some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can't even distinguish whether a person is happy or not.
Last August, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who had over five hours' screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared.
The children made an average of 14. 02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic products, they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.
Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back. You should try to keep your parents' numbers in mind for emergencies. You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores , which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost. And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products. 【1】The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that . A．you are able to turn to others for help
B．others are able to call you anytime and anywhere
C．others are unable to get in touch with you by smartphone D．you are unable to contact others without your smartphone
【答案】D
【解析】分析推断题。结合第二段全段，人们第一个可能丢失的技能就是记住电话号码，因为手机号码存在智能手机里面，不需要拨号就能打电话。从这里可以推断出要是没有了智能手机，我就不能联系别人。故选D
【2】 The experiment by researchers indicated that without electronic products, one could .
A．recognize more facial expressions correctly B．lose the sense of direction frequently C．tell different emotions immediately D．more pictures of faces easily
【答案】A
【解析】细节题。根据倒数第二段全段The children made an average of 14. 02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic products, they made only 9.41
mistakes on average.在最开始，孩子们平均犯14.02个错误，但是在没有电子产品的五天野营之后，他们平均只出9.41个错误。故选A
【3】Overusing smartphones, people will probably according to the passage A．lose face-to-face communication skills B．have no sense of numbers
C．weaken their senses of hearing and sight D．fail to find their destination
【答案】A
【解析】细节题。倒数第四段最后一句some of us have lost conversational skills and
sometimes can't even distinguish whether a person is happy or not我们中的一些人已经失去了对话技能，有时候甚至不能分辨一个人是否开心。故选A

C．losing some basic abilities because of using samrtphones D．trying hard to break away from smartphones’intelligence
【答案】C
【解析】主旨推断题。根据全文来看，作者举出自己的观点，认为人们失去了智能手机之后可能会出现的情况，同时还用实验反面说明没有了手机的时候，人的某些技能提升。我们可以得出结论，本文是在说使用智能手机的人们在失去一些基本技能。故选C
【5】The writer’s attitude towards electronic products is . A．critical B．sympathetic C．supportive D．optimistic
【答案】A
【解析】分析推断题。从全文来看，作者认为使用手机使得人们失去了一些基本却重要的技能。我们可以推断出作者对于智能手机的态度是批评的。故选A 【考点】考察说明文阅读。
44. The one American industry unaffected by the general depression of trade is beauty industry. American women continue to spend on their faces and bodies as much as they spent before—about three million pounds a week. These facts and figures are official and significant. To what is it due? In part, I suppose, to the increase in wealth. But this is, clearly, not the whole story. The cult of beauty must therefore be symptomatic of changes that have taken place outside the economic field. Of what changes? Of the changes, I suggest, in the social position of women; of the changes in our attitude towards “the merely physical”.
Women, it is obvious, are freer than in the past. Freer not only to perform the social functions reserved to the male, but also freer to exercise the right of being more attractive. They have the right, if not to be less virtuous(有品德的) than their grandmothers, at any rate to look less
virtuous. The British housewife, a creature of severe and even terrifying aspect not long since, now does her best to achieve and preserve the appearance, which was strongly opposed to in the previous time. For we have now come to admit that the body has its rights. It has, for example, a right to do the best it can for itself in the way of strength and beauty. We demand justice for the body as well for the soul.
What are the practical results of this modern cult of beauty? Are women more beautiful than they were? Do they get something for the enormous amount of energy, time and money
demanded of them by the beauty-cult? These are questions which are difficult to answer, for the facts seem to be in conflict. The campaign for more physical beauty seems to be both a great success and a terrifying failure. It depends on how you look at the results.
It is a success as more women keep their youthful appearance to a greater age than in the past. This desirable consummation will be due in part to skin foods, facial surgery, and paints, in part to improved health, due in its turn to a more reasonable way of life. Ugliness is one of the symptoms of disease, beauty of health. In so far as the campaign for more beauty is also a campaign for more health, it is, up to a point, really successful. When that happy moment comes, will every woman beautiful—as beautiful as the natural shape of her futures, with or
without surgical and chemical aid, permits?
The answer is definitely: No. The beauty of a porcelain(陶瓷) jar is a matter of shape, of color of surface texturing. The jar may be empty or tenanted by spiders, full of honey or stinking slime—it makes no different to its beauty or ugliness. But a woman is alive, and her beauty is therefore not skin keep. For real beauty is as much an affair of the inner as of the outer self. The women’s beauty is therefore more than skin deep. The surface of a human is affected by the nature of its spiritual contents. I have seen women who were truly lovely. Their shape, their color, their
surface were perfect. And yet they were not beautiful for spiritual emptiness or ugliness shows through. But on the contrary, there is an inside light that can change forms that are regarded imperfect or ugly. Most importantly, the cult of beauty is supposed to touch the deepest source of beauty --- the experiencing soul. It is not by improving skin goods, by cheapening health equipment and electrical hair-removers, that the human race will be made beautiful; it is not even by improving health. All men and women will be beautiful only when the social
arrangements give to every one of them an opportunity to live completely and harmoniously. 【1】The most significant reason for women’s cult of beauty is _____________. A．the changes in their status and attitude to physical beauty B．the build-up of wealth in the economic field
C．the decrease of other fields influenced by the general depression D．the new privilege in fulfilling social functions
【答案】A
【解析】A 细节理解题。根据第一段最后Of the changes, I suggest, in the social position of women; of the changes in our attitude towards “the merely physical”.可知，妇女社会地位的改变和对身体认识的态度的改变影响了美容行业，因此选A项。
【2】From paragraph 3-4 we can learn that ____________________. A．the beauty industry deserves energy and money B．the surgical and chemical aid free women from aging C．the healthier way of life leads to women’s staying young D．the beauty campaign has achieved great success
【答案】C
【解析】C 细节推断题。根据第四段中It is a success as more women keep their youthful
appearance to a greater age than in the past.This desirable consummation will be due in its turn to a more reasonable way of life. Ugliness is one of the symptoms of disease, beauty of health. In so far as the campaign for more beauty is also a campaign for more health, it is, up to a point, really successful. 可知，妇女们使自己显得更年轻，是因为她们转向更理性更健康的生活方式，故选C项。
【3】The example of the porcelain jar illustrates __________________. A．the importance of shape and surface
B．the gap between appearance and contents C．the connection between inner and outer self D．the ugliness of appearance and spirits
【答案】B
【解析】B.细节理解题。根据第五段The beauty of a porcelain(陶瓷) jar is a matter of shape, of color of surface texturing. The jar may be empty or tenanted by spiders, full of honey or stinking

【答案】C
【解析】C 细节推理题。根据最后一段Most importantly, the cult of beauty is supposed to touch the deepest source of beauty --- the experiencing soul.All men and women will be beautiful only when the social arrangements give to every one of them an opportunity to live completely and harmoniously.可知，美容行业不仅是改善身体外表的美，还应提高内在精神的美，这样所有人类，不管是男人还是女人，才有机会完整和谐地生活，实现真正的美丽，故选C项。
【5】What is the real concern of the writer of this article? A．The promising future of beauty industry B．The praise of beauty-cult as a success C．The understanding of physical beauty D．The importance of inner qualities
【答案】D
【解析】D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的理解，可知作者的观点，美不仅在外表，更重要的是人们的内在美。

下面总结一些七选五的解题技巧
1、先看选项。跟完形填空不一样，七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。 2、再看空前空后。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。
3、注意代词或定冠词。在做这类题目的时候，一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词，因为我们知道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型，我们要做的就是从选项中找这类句型就可以了。
4、注意一些特殊疑问词。如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。
5、注意一些连词。如一些表示转折的连词，but，However，yet，though，nevertheless等，另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词如and，also，as well as，neither nor，either or，not only...but also，on one hand....on the other hand等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系，通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系。 【考点】考查信息匹配

Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health．That’s true for both teens and adults．The finding inspired Joseph Allen，a psychologist at the University of Virginia，and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health．
So they followed 171 teens，starting when the kids were just 13．They interviewed each one every year for five years，and also spoke to these teens’closest friends，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships．The same 171 people were
interviewed again at ages 25，26 and 27．This time，the questions surveyed each person’s overall health．When the researchers analyzed the data they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health．Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults．Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health．Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults．The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on
health．Weight，family income and drug use were all examined．So were mental health issues，such as anxiety and depression．And in these people，such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did．
Going along with the crowd may have benefits，says Allen，but there are also
drawbacks．Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work．And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior，such as smoking，drinking or using drugs．Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge，Allen acknowledges．“Finding the right balance is the key．Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy．”And，he adds，“Parents need to be understanding about the pressures teens face.” 【1】Where can you probably read this passage? A．Science fiction B．Health column C．Fashion magazine
D．Entertainment newspaper
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。通读全文可知本文主要介绍保持朋友关系对健康的影响。science fiction表示“科学小说”；health column表示“健康专栏”；fashion magazine表示“时尚杂志”；entertainment newspaper表示“娱乐报纸”。故选B。
【2】We can learn from Allen’s study that _______________.
A．many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendships B．mental health issues have nothing to do with adult health
C．the same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27
D．the teens who couldn’t express themselves grew up to be unhealthier
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them to a close friends also influenced later health.Those who held back were more likely to be sick as adults.可知青少年是否向他们的好朋友表达情感也会影响到成年时期的健康。那些压抑情感的青少年长大后更容易生病。故选D。
【3】According to what Allen said，we can know that _______________. A．in order to do better at school，teens should not follow the crowd
B．though it’s challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure，they should not give up C．teens will engage in smoking，drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressure D．parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知参加周围的朋友圈使得人们在成年后更加健康的同时也会带来“peer pressure”，也就是周围同龄人带来的压力，即“同行压力”。 peer pressure会导致许多问题，如何应对同行压力对于青少年来说成为了一个挑战。分析Allen 的话Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.可知，青少年要应对同行压力，找到正确的平衡是关键。青少年不能因为很难找到平衡就灰心丧气。故选B。
【4】What can be inferred from the passage?
A．There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd．
B．Close friendships are the most important for people’s health． C．Teen friendships may turn out healthier adults． D．Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships．
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段But new research suggests that teens who go along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.可知，加入朋友圈的青少年在长大为成年人后会更加健康。C选项Teen friendships may turn out healthier adults.“青少年时期的友谊会使得人们成年后更加健康”符合文章要表述的意思，故选C。

细节理解题属直接解答性问题，是阅读理解题中最简单的一种，多数属中低难度的题。但高考所占的比例大，应特别引起注意。事实和细节题的命题特点是：对文章或某一段落中的一些特定细节或文章重要事实的理解，一般包括直接理解题和语义转化题。直接理解题能在原文直接找到答案，而语义转化题则需要将题目信息与原文信息加工或整理后才能得出结论。 做细节理解题具体方法与步骤如下：
1.略读材料，大概了解原文，掌握中心或主旨；本文主要介绍了的几个旅馆游泳池及各自特色。
2.按文章的体裁，作者写作的组织模式及有关的信息词。如for example, first, second…等预测应该到何处寻找自己所需要的事实；
3.将自己精力放在寻找你所需要的细节上。快速通篇跳读，全文扫视，找到细节出处，待找到含细节句子时，放慢速度，仔细核对比较内容，直至找到答案。如小题1考查不住宿的人去哪个泳池，根据W Hotel Hong Kong中Only people living in this hotel can enjoy this wonderful pool；
Hotel Indigo中only available to the hotel guests；Four Seasons Hotel中The pool is open only to hotel guests.可知这几个地方的游泳池只对旅馆客人开放，只有The Ritz－Carlton中的游泳池没有此。小题2考查Hotel Indigo泳池的细节，根据Hotel Indigo中The pool protrudes from the hotel, allowing people below to see swimmers and the swimmers to do laps while checking out the traffic below.可知人们可以从下面看到游泳者。

169. Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining(留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But, 41 , words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often 42 the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers 43 become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business--- 44 that the customer remains a customer. 45 to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the 46 company loses between 10 and 30 percent of its customers every year. In constantly changing 47 , this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to these lost opportunities and calculate the 48 implications. 49 the number of customers a company loses can make a big 50 in its performance. Research in the US found that a five percent decrease in the number of defecting(流失的) customers led to 51 increases of between 25 and 85 percent. In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is 52 more than five thousand dollars over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or 53 on their first visit and 54 never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in 55 profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer 56 is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’
marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to 57 them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’s School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. 58 customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price 59 , and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it 60 for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.”

The ringing of the phone runs through my head, telling me someone needs help. I pick it up and 1 the routine, “Teen Lifeline, this is Amber.” About 45 minutes later I hang up, feeling pleased because I’ve helped another teen. Volunteering at Teen Lifeline has helped me realize how to deal with my own 2 and help others.
“My mom is always fighting with me. I want to run away.” Some teens feel their 3 is a prison, rather than a place of shelter and safety. They feel parents are only there to make their
lives 4 . We try to help the teens realize the danger they could be in 5 giving them advice. All we can do is to ask questions. We also try to find out where the teens would go and how they would survive. We give them a phone number if they 6 don’t want to live in their “prison”.
“I don’t want to 7 any more” is something we hear, and suicide (自杀) calls are some of the hardest to 8 . We try to discover why they want to take their lives and how serious they are by asking them to rate it on a scale of one to ten. One means they are 9 suicide but haven’t decided how, and ten means they are always thinking about it and have a 10 . We ask them to make a promise that they will not hurt themselves. And sometimes we ask for their telephone numbers 11 we can call back to make sure that they are okay.
Although many calls are about relatively 12 problems, volunteering at Teen Lifeline has
helped me realize I’m not the 13 person with problems, and has taught me how to 14 with my heart. I have made a 15 and saved many lives — possibly even my own, too. 1. A. set B. stop C. change D. start

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, becomes unhappy. This from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy their attention to the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine
weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the things. They are, , continually unsatisfied. By their words, they complain about the pleasure of society, offend many people, and themselves disagreeable (不受欢迎的) everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious in life, since it causes deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most politeness and respect. This puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step speak a word to favor their hopes. If they cause themselves public objections (反对), no one will or excuse them, and many join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

179. The resounding film Avatar has been very popular in the UK and around the world,
becoming the fastest film ever to earn $1bn(7bn yuan) in ticket sales.
But as well as being an entertaining feast for the eyes, the sci-fi epic（叙事诗）also introduces the audience to a brand new language invented especially for the film.
The movie is set on an alien planet called Pandora which is inhabited by many strange species. The most humanoid of the planet’s inhabitants are the Na’vi, and it is the struggle between the Na’vi and human invader that forms the main story of the film. The film has been released in 2D and 3D versions.
In order to add a sense of reality to his vision of an alien race the film’s director James Cameron asked a professor of language form the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na’ vi.
Professor Paul Frommer worked with James Cameron for four years to build upon the original 30 words or so that the director had already come up with for the language.
According to Professor Frommer, the most important aspect of the Na’ vi language was that it could be pronounced.
“This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors,” Professor Frommer told the BBC, “it has to be sounds that human beings are comfortable producing.” The language currently has around 1,000 words but Professor Frommer hopes to expand it in possible sequels（续集）to the film and in video games.
The professor hopes that one day his creation will have a high level of the Klingon alien language from the Star Trek films.
“There’s a translation of Hamlet into Klingon,” says Professor Frommer. “If anything happened like this with Na’vi, I’d be delighted.”
60. The underlined word “resounding” in Paragraph 1 means _______ . A. later B. scientific C. hit D. surprising
61. Which of the following is Right according to the passage? A. A kind of new language was invented especially for the film. B. The film Avatar is as good as a film as the Star Trek.

180. From good reading we can get pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction．A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our
surroundings and even our identity．Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life．It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad．Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction．
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely．Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends．In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times．The
people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new
acquaintances．Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company．By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings．When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement．
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience．Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books．Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can．To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter me land of our heart's desire．
Through books we may get the thrill of risky adventure without danger．We can climb lofty mountains, brave the danger of an Antarctic winter, or cross the hot sands of the desert, all without hardship．In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may walk among the gay crowds of the Paris wide streets; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island．Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking．The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited．The beauties of
nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the miracles of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read．

Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do
everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less
pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others. Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?
Main comparisons Contexts _76__ are changing In the past people put caring, sharing and generosity in the first ____77____. Nowadays, people seem to be more ____78___about themselves. People in the past appeared to be modest and self-effacing(谦让的). ___79___are changing too. People may strive to achieve their own __80___ at the price of their coworkers. The author’s understanding ___81____ for the changes in author’s eyes Fierce __82___ and great __83___on modern people may be responsible for the changes. The author’s __84____towards topic A relationship which can ___85__ two sides should be established. 【答案】76 Values 77.place 78.concerned 79.Behaviours 80.goals/purpose/aim 81. Reasons 82. competition 83.pressure 84. attitude(s) 85.benefit 【解析】略

183. It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey
when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.
“Any old papers, lady？” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I
served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？” “Am I rich? Pity, no！” I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully
and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred(搅动)the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
【1】Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A．A story of Thanksgiving Day． B． Lady, are you rich?

【解析】B推理判断题。根据I looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). Plain blue china cups
and saucers were only worth five pence.可知A正确；根据“Am I rich? Pity, no！可知小女孩这样问并不是为了让作者高兴B错误；根据Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.可知C正确；

184. Dear Mom, Clear My Calendar
September is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer’s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child’s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts(武术).
Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment,” three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time?
A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves.
David Elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better. Parents hope that early music lessons, for example will build a child’s confidence. The truth, however, is that any time children are asked to do too much, too soon, they are at greater risk for feelings of failure.
A child’s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of
summer? Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it’s time to come home for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle (空闲的) time now.
Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That’s too much for a five-year old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let’s be honest with ourselves – our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s.
【1】The author holds that it’s a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly because _____. A．a child’s schedule is too complex B．activities suitable for kids are limited
C．parents are stuck in numerous choices D．children always say no to parents’ advice
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。第一段And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big

【2】What the two teachers say in Paragraph 2 implies that _____. A．children love to stay at school B．they are popular with children
C．children dislike after-school classes D．after-school classes are of poor quality

【3】According to the author, what is the real reason for parents to send their children to after-school classes?
A．Parents want to make up for their own regrets. B．After-school classes develop children’s potential.
C．Parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children. D．After-school classes give parents an excuse for being absent.
【答案】D
【解析】细节题，从第三段1,2行A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families和最后一句But let’s be honest with ourselves – our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s.可知家长们把孩子送到辅导班主要是因为自己没有时间陪孩子，故选D。
【4】Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A．For children’s benefits, the earlier the better.
B．Children’s spare time should be carefully designed. C．Idle time for children is becoming a thing of the past. D．Parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason.,
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题，文中提到家长由于工作繁忙没有时间陪孩子而把孩子送到课外班，孩子们的空闲时间已经一去不复返了，故选C。
185. I decided a few months ago that I was going to treat myself to a 4-day getaway from Los
Angeles and visit Chicago. I got a free airplane ticket, but had to pay the hotel in cash, which I really couldn’t afford. I found a travel website where a discounted 3-night stay was purchased from a recently opened hotel.
About three weeks before the trip, I had to regretfully cancel and only then realized the room, while transferable (可转手的) to another person, couldn't be changed to a later date and wasn't refundable. For the next two weeks I tried selling it on Craig's list with no success. Five days before the \"big weekend\acquaintances who live in Chicago and offer someone a free \"staycation\". After trying a handful of people all of whom already had their own plans, I was determined to have the room not go to waste.
That's when it suddenly occurred to me that I was looking at the rooms in the wrong way.
Instead of viewing them for vacation purposes, surely there must be a way to put them to good use, and that was when the idea that some sort of shelter might be able to use it. I eventually found one whose focus is aiding victims of domestic violence. This particular one was willing to listen to my out-of-left-field story and made it easier to transfer the rooms. The shelter was working with a desperate woman and her daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room. I was later told by the shelter \"they had a blast\". 【1】We can learn from paragraph 1 that the author______. A．planed to go on business in Chicago B．bought his flight using credit cards C．had a light budget for his holiday D．employed someone from a website
【答案】C
【解析】C细节理解题。根据短文第一段I got a free airplane ticket以及I found a travel website where a discounted 3-night stay was purchased from a recently opened hotel.可知作者的旅行预算不是很多，使用免费的飞机票，住打折的旅店，故选C。
【2】What happened to his plan three weeks before the trip? A．The room reservation was canceled. B．The author couldn't make the trip. C．The hotel was no longer available. D．The author regretted making the plan.
【答案】B
【解析】B细节理解题。根据About three weeks before the trip, I had to regretfully cancel and only then realized the room, while transferable (可转手的) to another person, couldn't be
changed to a later date and wasn't refundable.可知在旅行的三周前我有事，只能取消旅行，并把旅馆转让给别人，故选B。
【3】What did the author finally do with his room reservation? A．He sold it to someone on vacation. B．He used it for domestic violence. C．He put it off to a later holiday time. D．He donated it to needy strangers.
【答案】D
【解析】D细节理解题。根据短文The shelter was working with a desperate woman and her
daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room可知作者最后把旅馆的居住权捐给了有需要的母女，故选D。
【4】From the underlined sentence in the last paragraph, we can infer that______. A．the women were grateful for the room B．the program was shocked by the event C．the shelter was asking for more rooms D．the author was unhappy with the result
【答案】A
【解析】A推理判断题。根据短文The shelter was working with a desperate woman and her daughter, who were fortunately able to make use of the room. I was later told by the shelter

故事类阅读应试技巧： 1、抓住文章的6个要素：
阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此，无论是顺叙还是倒叙，阅读此类文章时，必须要找到它结构中的5个W（when, where, who, why, what）和1个H（how），不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问，寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。 2、注意作者的议论和抒情：
高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达，因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换，也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题，讲完一件事情后，作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线，它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图，属于必考点，所以要仔细体会。
3、结合前两点归纳文章中心，把握作者态度：
故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的，它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时，尤其要分析文章的结尾，因为很多文章卒章显志，用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心；文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关；也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外，叙述一件事必有其目的，或阐明某一观点，或赞美某种品德，或抨击某种陋习，这就要求我们在阅读时，通过对细节（第1点中的六要素）的理解，把握作者的态度。 4、有章有据进行解题判断：
分析文章，归纳主题，属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章，架空分析，一定让分析在文章中有依据。
比如第26小题What happened to his plan three weeks before the trip?可根据文章中的有关三周前的描述 About three weeks before the trip, I had to regretfully cancel可知我只能取消行程，说明我不能去旅行了。
186. Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons for example, economic reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in
historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people's feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
【1】What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph? A．Some of them are not attractive.
B．Most of them ate too expensive to preserve. C．They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D．They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
【答案】A
【解析】A 细节题。根据文章第一段第三句Not all historical buildings are attractive.可知，作者认为并不是所有的古代建筑都是很吸引人的。故A正确。
【2】Which of the following is true according to the author? A．We should reproduce the same old buildings. B．Buildings should not dominate their surroundings. C．Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.
D．No one understands why people speak against new buildings.
【答案】C
【解析】C 推理题。根据文章第三段第一句It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.可知，一些新的建筑会毁掉它们所在的地区，同样一些旧建筑也会毁掉它们所在的地区。故C正确。
【3】By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means“ ”． A．destroy old buildings
B．put things in a different place C．choose new architectural styles
D．respect people's feelings for historical buildings
【答案】C
【解析】C 推理题。根据横线下一句If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.（如果我们总是重复建设以前的建筑风格，那么我们就会让人生活在洞穴里。）可知，move things forward表示“向前发展”，也就是说要采用新的建筑风格，不走老路。故C正确。
【4】What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To explain why people dislike change.
B．To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings. D．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
【答案】D
【解析】D 推理题。根据文章第一句Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city?可知，本文讨论了是否可以在有历史遗迹的地方建设现代化的建筑。故D项正确。 【长难句解析】
In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.
为了回答这个问题，我们必须首先检查人们是否真的想保护历史遗迹。
【名师点评】本句中的in order to answer this question在句中充当的是目的状语，相当于不定式to answer this question；另外句中动词examine后面有一个whether引导的宾语从句whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.连接词whether在句中不充当任何成分，表示的是不确定的“是否”的意思。 【考点】考查文化类阅读

2：句中已有谓语动词且又无并列连词与括号内提示的动词并列，说明空格需填非谓语动词形式。 Some people stood one behind another,___7___ (form)a line.这里与前一句用逗号隔开，没有连词，故判断用非谓语形式，根据与主语some people是主动形式，故用动词的-ing形式。
188. Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of
countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better
weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be \"green gyms\". They are better replacements (代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free. 【1】Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of? A．Playing basketball in a gym. B．Motor racing in the desert. C．Cycling around a lake. D．Swimming in a sports center.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一、二句“Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled
materials. But the final goal should be ‘green gyms’.”和倒数第二句“Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces.”可知，环保运动是在室外、在乡村或其他开阔地区使用环保设备进行的体育运动。因此推断C项“绕着湖泊骑自行车”是作者支持的运动。故选C正确。
【2】What do we know about golf from the passage? A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.
B．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green. C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes. D．It causes water shortages around the world.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二、三句“Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses（球场）in good condition.”可知，高尔夫球占地多、用水多、维护起来耗费能源多，因此推断高尔夫球场需要水电维持球场是绿色的。故选B项正确。
【3】The author uses power walking as an example mainly because________. A．it uses fewer resources B．it improves our health C．it is an outdoor sport D．it is recommended by experts
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。文章第三段首先提到“There are many environment-friendly sports．”，然后介绍power walking，结合下文“You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes;and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse”可推断，作者用power walking为例的原因是疾走锻炼不需要特殊的设备，你不必担心资源和钱包。也就是这项运动只使用很少的资源。故A项正确。
【4】The author writes the passage to ________. A．show us the function of major sports B．encourage us to go in for green sports
C．discuss the major influence of popular sports
D．introduce different types of environment-friendly sports
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。纵观全文可知，文章简述了资源耗费较多的运动如高尔夫，也讲述了一些不怎么耗费资源的运动如power walking，最后一段作者提到“Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from
recycled materials.”，因此推断作者写文章的目的是为了让我们选择绿色环保运动。故B项正确。

【名师】完形填空题旨在考察学生综合运用语言知识的能力。做此题时必须通篇考虑，先掌握大意，再综合运用所学词汇、语法及常识进行推理判断。解此类题主要从以下四步做起： 第一步重视首句，把握开篇
完形填空一般无标题，首句一般不留空，是完整的一句，全文信息从此开始。细读首句，可判断文章体裁，预测文章大意和主旨。 第二步速读全文，掌握大意
阅读全文时要一气呵成，即使有空格、生词或不明白的地方，也有快速读完，理解全文大意。读时要注意找出关键词、中心词。切记不要在未掌握大意的基础上，边阅读边做题，这样做的结果是速度慢、准确率低。
第三步瞻前顾后，灵活答题
“瞻前顾后”，即先读所要填词的句子，再回顾上一句，兼顾下一句。如果一句中有两个空格需要填，在初定答案时要“双管齐下”，在两处同时试填，然后通读全句，确定答案。 第四步复核全文，调整答案
把握好的短文通读一遍进行核查，同时注意以下三点：
1.上下文的一致性，即时态语态的一致以及代词、名词、单复数的一致。 2.从语法和惯用词及习惯搭配、甚至语感入手，判断是否符合上下文的逻辑。 3.段与段、句与句之间的衔接是否连贯。
例如：第1题考察名词词义，我们在作出选择时，没有办法做出确定的选择的话，便可以快速地浏览后文找到线索，在最后一段：I still face this competitor, myself.便可以确切的做出选择。 第2题考察动词词组的固定搭配，要了解各动词词组的含义，即从动词词组的搭配入手，则可做出正确的选择。

191. More than 2. 6 million students in the United States were expected to study online through courses and tutoring fall, up from 1.9 million in 2003. according to an online research group. Burck Smith, chief executive of Smarthinking, credits the rise in demand for online educational to services to several factors. These include an increase in the number of non-traditional students who don’t have a lot of time to campus resources, a more competitive educational landscape in which colleges and schools are trying harder to students with additional services and students greater familiarity with the Internet.
Terry H. Coye, director of tutorial and instructional programs at Gallaudet University, said his school turned to Smarthinking to increase its limited tutoring services for graduate students. With many of Gallaudte’s deaf and hard of hearing students accustomed to learning online, the service was a good fit, Coye said.
Founded in 1999, Sniarthinking employs more than 450 part-time instructors from around the world to offer round- clock tutoring. Though people might worry that a student could get too much help from someone outside the class-room, the company said it trains its tutors—who get an average of 15 hours of training—to guide students through prob-lems and not give away the answers.
“Long-term, there is no reason to believe online tutoring is no! going to grow as students go online and take classes,” said J. Mark Jackson, director of a market-research firm. Because it is additional service rather than a key offering, he said, it is unclear how large the market might grow.
【1】Which of the following is a cause of the demand for online educational services? A．Students\" improved ability to use the Internet. B．Colleges need for students9 additional services. C．Students9 laziness to look for on-campus resources. D．Colleges9 competition to make a beautiful campus.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。从文中第二段的students greater familiarity with the Internet即学生更熟悉互联网，可知学生们提高了使用互联网的能力，故选A。
【2】According to Coye,what makes Smarthinking fit Gallaudet University well? A．Gallaudet’s lack of teaching facilities. B．Students’ need for part-time instructors. C．Gallaudet’s desire for disabled students. D．Students’ adjustment lo online learning.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。从文中第三段的With many of Gallaudte’s deaf and hard of hearing
students accustomed to learning online, the service was a good fit即Gallaudte的许多聋人和听力不好，习惯网上学习的学生，服务是一个不错的选择，可知学生们适应在线学习，故选D。
【3】What worries peoples about online tutoring? A．Students1 unwillingness to get help in the class. B．Tutors’ lack of training from the company. C．Students’ easy access to the right answers. D．Tutors’ not giving away the answers.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据文中第四段的Though people might worry that a student could get too much help from someone outside the class-room即人们可能会担心一个学生可以从课堂外的人太多的帮助，可知人们担心学生们可以简单的得到正确的答案，故选C。
【4】How does Mark Jackson feel about future online tutoring? A．Worried. B．Hopeful. C．Proud. D．Doubtful.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。从最后一段的Long-term, there is no reason to believe online tutoring is no! going to grow as students go online and take classes即长期来看，没有理由相信在线辅导是不行的！当学生上网和上课时，他们会成长，可知，此人对在线辅导是充满希望的，故选B。
192. He wrote that the “human mind is capable of excitement without the application of
unpleasant and violent stimulants(兴奋剂，刺激物)”. And it appears that simply reading these words by William Wordsworth proves his point.
Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like had a beneficial effect on the mind, making it active and excited by catching the reader’s attention and leading to moments of self-reflection.
Using scanners, they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read pieces of classical English literature both in their original form and in a modern translation. And, according to the Sunday Telegraph, the experiment showed the more challenging writing and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the simple readings.
The research also found poetry, in particular, increased activity in the right brain, an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”, which helped the reader to reflect on their own
experiences in light of what they had read. The academics said this meant the classics were more useful than self-help books.
The brain responses of 30 volunteers were monitored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespeare in its original and modern form. In one example, volunteers read a line from King Lear, “A father and a gracious aged man: him have you madded”, before reading the
simpler, “A father and a gracious aged man: him you have enraged”. Shakespeare's use of the adjective “mad” as a verb caused a higher level of brain activity than the straightforward translation.
The next part of the research is looking at the extent to which poetry can affect psychology and provide benefit, Volunteers’ brains were scanned while reading four lines by Wordsworth, and four “translate” lines were also provided. The result showed that the first version caused a greater degree of brain activity.
“Poetry is not just a matter of style. It is a matter of deep versions of experience that add the emotional and biographical to the cognitive(认知的),” said Professor Davis, leader of the researchers.
【1】The words by William Wordsworth in Paragraph 1 are used to ________. A．prove the poet’s point B．introduce the topic C．serve as an example D．stress the importance of reading
【答案】B
【解析】B推理判断题。根据第一段He wrote that the “human mind is capable of excitement without the application of unpleasant and violent stimulants(兴奋剂，刺激物)”. And it appears that simply reading these words by William Wordsworth proves his point.可知，引用William Wordsworth的话是为了引出话题。故选B。
【2】What is the beneficial effect of reading classics on the mind? A．It activates the reader’s mind B．It reflects the reader’s experience C．It catches the reader’s attention D．It monitors the reader’s brain activity
【答案】A
【解析】A细节理解题。根据第二段Researchers at the University of Liverpool found the works of Shakespeare and Wordsworth and the like had a beneficial effect on the mind, making it active and excited by catching the reader’s attention and leading to moments of self-reflection.可知，阅读古典文学对思维具有裨益，能够吸引读者的注意力，让读者自我反省，使思想变得活跃和兴奋。故选A。
【3】What method is mainly used in the experiment? A．Comparing responses. B．Analyzing data. C．Observing activities. D．Testing ability.
【答案】A
【解析】A推理判断题。根据第五段第一句The brain responses of 30 volunteers were
monitored in the first part of the research as they read Shakespeare in its original and modern form.（实验的第一部分中，30名志愿者阅读了莎比士亚作品的原版和“现代版”，与此同时研究者们监测了他们大脑的反应。）可知，实验使用的是比较的方法。故选A。
【4】According to Professor Davis, poetry can affect the mind mainly because of ________.
A．its style B．its meaning C．its depth D．its writer
【答案】C
【解析】C推理判断题。根据最后一段“Poetry is not just a matter of style. It is a matter of deep versions of experience that add the emotional and biographical to the cognitive(认知的),”said
Professor Davis, leader of the researchers.（诗歌不单单是一种文体。诗歌是一种深层次的经验，这种经验是在认知经验的基础上加上情感经验和生平经历而形成的）可知，很明显诗歌之所以能影响心灵，主要是因为凝聚了写作者的很多经历和感悟。故选C。
193. The rise of the Internet has been one of the most transformative developments in human history, comparable in impact to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph. Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere. But the Internet’s tremendous impacts has only just begun.
“Mass adoption of the Internet is driving one of the most exciting social, cultural, and political transformations in history, and unlike earlier periods of change, this time the effects are fully global,” Schmidt and Cohen write in their new book. The New Digital Age.
Perhaps the most profound changes will come when the five billion people worldwide who currently lack Internet access get online. The authors do an excellent job of examining the
implications of the Internet revolution for individuals, governments, and institutions like the news media. But if the book has one major shortcoming, it’s that authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these weeping changes.
In their book, the authors provide the most authoritative volume to date that describes — and more importantly predicts — how the Internet will shape our lives in the coming decades. They paint a picture of a world in which individuals, companies, institutions, and governments must deal with two realities, one physical, and one virtual.
At the core of the book is the idea that “technology is neutral, but people aren’t.” By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs.
pessimist dichotomy(对立观点) that has characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society. In an interview with TIME earlier this week, Cohen said although he and his co-author are optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five
billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance(监视).
【1】In what way is the rise of the Internet similar to the invention of the printing press and the telegraph?
A．It transforms human history.
B．It facilitates daily communication. C．It is adopted by all humanity.
D．It revolutionizes people's thinking.
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句Over two billion people worldwide now have access to vastly more information than ever before, and can communicate with each other instantly, often using Web-connected mobile devices they carry everywhere.可知，网络使得人们能获得更多信息，能进行及时的沟通，并且经常使用移动通信工具。因此推断网络的作用是使得人们的日常沟通更加顺畅。故选B。
【2】In what respect is the book The New Digital Age considered inadequate? A．It fails to recognize the impact of the Internet technology. B．It fails to look into the social implications of the Internet.
C．It lacks an objective evaluation of the role of Internet businesses. D．It does not address the technical aspects of Internet communication.
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第三句But if the book has one major short-coming, it’s that the authors don’t spend enough time applying a critical eye to the role of Internet businesses in these sweeping changes.可知，这本书的不足之处是作者没有花足够的时间以一种批判的眼光来看待电子商务所扮演的角色。故选C。
【3】What does the passage say about the authors of The New Digital Age? A．They leave many questions unanswered concerning the Internet. B．They are optimistic about the future of the Internet revolution. C．They have explored the unknown territories of the virtual world. D．They don’t take sides in analyzing the effects of the Internet.
【答案】D
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句By using this concept as a starting point, the authors aim to move beyond the now familiar optimist vs. pessimist dichotomy (对立观点)that has
characterized many recent debates about whether the rise of the Internet will ultimately be good or bad for society.可知，近期对于网络的兴起对社会来说最终是利还是弊的争论，大多是持乐观或悲观的对立观点，而本书的作者很好的绕开了这些对立的观点。再根据第三句In an interview with Time earlier this week, Cohen said that although he and his co-author are certainly
optimistic about many aspects of the Internet, they’re also realistic about the risks and dangers that lie ahead when the next five billion people come online, particularly with respect to personal privacy and state surveillance(监视).可知，作者不仅提到了网络的好处，也提到了网络存在的风险和危险。因此推断作者对待网络持一种中立态度的。故选D。

195. Google’s data centres and the offices for its 60,000 staff will be powered entirely by renewable energy from next year,in what the company has called a “landmark moment”.The internet giant is already the world’s biggest corporate buyer of renewable electricity,last year buying 44% of its power from wind and solar farms.Now it will be 100%,and an executive said it would no longer refuse to invest in nuclear power in the future.
Oman said it had taken Google five years to reach the 100% target,set in 2012,because of the complexity involved with negotiating power purchase agreements.The company’s biggest demand for energy is its data centres and it admits their overall thirst for power is growing. Google was now looking to sign 10-year agreements for low-carbon power that was
constant,such as hydro,biomass and nuclear.“We want to do contracts on renewable power,it could be biomass if the fuel source is steady and enough,it could be nuclear.We’re looking at all forms of low-carbon generation.”
But he said new nuclear power was “controversial”,the possible safety consequences were much more “dramatic” than with renewable sources,and the price was “much more difficult to guarantee” than when funding solar panels and wind turbines.“We don’t want to refuse to sign a nuclear agreement if it meets our goals of low price,safety,and other factors.We don’t want to rule that out,but today we can’t positively say there are nuclear projects out there that meet this standard,”he said.
The company’s 100% renewable energy does not mean Google is getting all its energy directly from wind and solar power,but that on an annual basis the amount it purchases from renewable sources matches the electricity its operations consume. 【1】A “landmark moment” for Google refers to . A．its efforts in saving energy
B．its growing demand for employees C．its progress in using renewable energy D．its becoming the world’s biggest company
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。根据第一段中的Google’s data centers and the offices for its 60,000 staff will be powered entirely by renewable energy from next year, in what the company has called a “landmark moment”.可知，此处的“里程碑时刻”指的是Google在使用新能源方面的进展。故选C。
【2】What made Google slow in achieving its target?
A．Negotiations of agreements. C．Shortage of energy. B．High consumption of energy. D．Tight budgets.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的Oman said it had taken Google five years to reach the 100％ target, set in 2012, because of the complexity involved with negotiating power purchase agreements.可知，由于能源采购过程中的谈判很复杂，Google花了五年的时间才完成了预期目标。故选A。
【3】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4? A．Nuclear power is an ideal choice.
B．Solar and wind power is not safe enough. C．It’s unwise to invest solar and wind power. D．Google is unlikely to use nuclear energy soon.
【答案】D
【解析】段落大意题。根据第四段中的描述可知，考虑到核能源的安全性和价格，目前还没有计划要使用核能源。故选D。
【4】What is the purpose in writing this text?
A．To show Google’s profit goal in global market. B．To talk about Google’s new move to use energy. C．To recommend a new kind of renewable energy. D．To urge the public to use renewable energy.
【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了Google集团在能源使用方面的新进展。故选B。 【名师】
尽管近几年高考英语阅读试题中推断题呈不断上升的趋势，但细节题仍然占有较大比例，而且已由过去简单的对号入座直接答题转向通过语句的同义或反义转换来考查同学们对英语语言的理解能力。
如第2小题 “What made Google slow in achieving its target?”（什么让Google在达到它的目标上慢了下来？），根据第二段中的Oman said it had taken Google five years to reach the 100% target, set in 2012, because of the complexity involved with negotiating power purchase
agreements.可知，2012年就制定了的目标，由于能源采购过程中的复杂谈判，Google花了五年的时间才完成，由此可推断出让Google集团在达到预期目标上延迟的原因就是能源采购过程中复杂的谈判，故答案是A项。
196. RED lanterns adorn(点缀) the aisles of a small supermarket. There are stacks of red envelopes on sale, for stuffing cash in and handing out as gifts. A sign offers seasonal
discounts. Such festive trappings are quite common in China in the build-up to the lunar New Year, which this year starts on January 28th. But this is Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, where Han Chinese are a mere 2.5% of the country’s population. They are a sign that Chinese New Year is becoming a global holiday.
Several countries in Asia celebrate the lunar New Year in their own way. But dragon and lion dances in Chinatowns the world over have helped to make China’s the most famous. These days growing numbers of people who are not of Chinese descent are joining in. In Tokyo
window cleaners dress up as the animals of the Chinese zodiac(十二生肖). Barcelona’s Chinese parade includes dracs (a Catalan species of dragon). America, Canada and New Zealand have issued commemorative stamps for the year of the chicken. Last year New York City made the lunar New Year a school holiday for the first time.
The spread of the spring festival, as China calls it, is partly due to recent emigration from China: 9.5 million Chinese people have moved abroad since 1978, many of them far richer than earlier waves of migrants. It also reflects the wealth and globe-trotting ambitions of China’s new middle class: festivities in other countries are partly aimed at the 6 million Chinese who are expected to spend their weeklong holiday abroad this year. International brands are trying to lure these big spenders with chicken-themed items.
Conscious of China’s growing economic and political clout, foreign leaders have taken to noting the occasion. Britain’s Prime Minister, Theresa May, has given a video address, a tradition started in 2014 by her predecessor, David Cameron. Last year the country’s royal family
tweeted a picture of Queen Elizabeth dotting the eye of a Chinese lion-dancer’s costume. Also in 2016, Venezuela’s culture minister admitted that his country was celebrating Chinese new
year for the first time—with six weeks of festivities—in a bid to improve economic ties with China. It is rumored that this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year.
China also sponsors related events, such as a display this year of martial arts in Cyprus and a traditional Chinese temple—fair in Harare, Zimbabwe. It may give Chinese officials satisfaction to see foreigners enjoy such festivities. They lament the growing enthusiasm among Chinese for Western celebrations such as Christmas—in December cities across China are bedecked with Santas and snowflake decorations. Chinese New Year is a welcome chance to reverse the cultural flow.
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Many countries in Asia are similar to each other in celebrating the Chinese lunar New Year. B．This year’s World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year.
C．Venezuela is the first country in South America to celebrate the Chinese spring festival. D．Partly owing to recent emigration from China, the Chinese spring festival could be spread worldwide.
【答案】D
【解析】Ｄ
A选项Many countries in Asia are similar to each other in celebrating the Chinese lunar New Year. 许多亚洲国家在庆祝中国农历新年是相似的。故A是错误的。
☞【答案定位】根据第二段第一句“Several countries in Asia celebrate the lunar New Year in their own way.”.可知，几个亚洲国家以自己的方式庆祝农历新年而不是相同的方式来过年。
B选项This year’s World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year.今年的达沃斯世界经济论坛比往年提前一周举行，以避免与春节发生冲突。
☞【答案定位】倒数第二段根据最后一句“It is rumored that this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos was held a week earlier than usual to avoid clashing with Chinese New Year.” 据传今年的达沃斯世界经济论坛比往年提前一周举行，以避免与春节发生冲突。是“据传”，并不是真的，由此推断出B是错误的。
C选项Venezuela is the first country in South America to celebrate the Chinese spring festival.委内瑞拉是第一个南美庆祝春节的国家。
☞【答案定位】根据“..Venezuela’s culture minister admitted that his country was celebrating Chinese new year for the first time…in a bid to improve economic ties with China.”委内瑞拉文化承认他的国家在六周的庆祝活动中首次庆祝中国新年。由此可知委内瑞拉并不是南美国家第一个庆祝春节的国家，而是第一次庆祝。故B是错误的。
D 选项：“Partly owing to recent emigration from China, the Chinese spring festival could be spread worldwide.”由于近来的来自中国的移民，中国的春节可能传遍全球。
☞【答案定位】根据第一段“…They are a sign that Chinese New Year is becoming a global
holiday.”（迹象表明，春节正成为一个全球性的节日）及第三段第一句“The spread of the spring festival, as China calls it, is partly due to recent emigration from China…”可知由于最近的移民来自中国，中国的春节可能蔓延全球。故D是正确的。
【2】Paragraph 2 is conducted by means of ________. A．analyzing reasons B．giving examples C．listing arguments D．comparing facts
【答案】B
【解析】Ｂ
篇章结构题。在第二段中主要列举了外国庆祝农历新年。如东京用中国的十二生肖，巴塞罗那的华人，美国、加拿大和新西兰有发行纪念邮票，纽约去年的农历新年首次学校假期等。从中可看出是以举例的方式来展开本段的。故选B。
【3】Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word in Para 3? A．hook B．attack C．interfere D．exclude
【答案】A
【解析】Ａ
猜测词义题。从第三段讲述春节的传播部分是由于早期的中国移民，他们很富有。一些国家的春节是针对那些愿意到国外去度假的华人，因此国际品牌就尽力要以鸡为主题的项目吸引这些大买家。故划线词是“吸引”的人意思，而hook意为“勾，吸引”，两者意思相近，故选A。
【4】The sentence “China hopes the festival will boost its cultural ‘soft power’ abroad.” should be put at the beginning of Paragraph ________. A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five
【答案】D
【解析】Ｄ
篇章结构题。the sentence “China hopes the festival will boost its cultural ‘soft power’ abroad.” （中国希望将提升其节日文化的“软实力”。）通过对比，可以发现第五段内容中提及到中国举行了一系列的有关春节的相关活动，而中国借助这些活动是为了提升“软实力”。故本句话放在第五段前比较合适。故选D。
【5】Why are Chinese officials pleased to see foreigners enjoy Chinese new year festivities? A．Because these activities are beneficial to improving economic ties with foreign countries. B．Because these activities can bring about large amounts of money. C．Because these activities offer a chance to promote Chinese culture.
D．Because these activities would bring forth peace and harmony of the world.
【答案】C 【解析】Ｃ
推理判断题。在最后一段中第一句“China also sponsors related events, such as a display this year of martial arts in Cyprus and a traditional Chinese temple-fair in Harare, Zimbabwe. It may give Chinese officials satisfaction to see foreigners enjoy such festivities…. Chinese New Year is a welcome chance to reverse the cultural flow.”从中可知，中国很高兴看到外国人享受中国春节，是因为这可以让中国有机会宣传中国文化。故选C。

【5】(keep)the cold out, then light the charcoal. Soon enough, the oxygen in their home 【答案】to keep

【解析】考查副词。句意：因此，他们忘记了每年在他们的烟雾探测器上安装几个新电池，他们也不会费心去购买一氧化碳探测器。结合句意可知annual在句中作时间状语，应该用副词形式annually.故填annually.
198. As a manager,you want to help your employees.And that's great.When an employee
comes to you with a problem,you may tend to jump in and offer advice.While your intentions are noble,you may end up helping where it isn't actually needed or taking over the conversation altogether.
You go into rescuer mode,and it's understandable.You're trying to help out wherever you
can.But at the end of the day,you're very;tired because you've taken on more than you should have,and your team member is depressed because responsibilities were taken away from them.You thought you were helping as much as you could,but instead you undermined their morale as they had no chance to achieve something independently. The easiest way to avoid this situation is to be lazy.You just ask questions,especially,ask the laziest coaching question:\"How can I help?\"
This is the laziest way to find out what your employee needs from you.By asking something like this,you force the person to decide what they need exactly—they might not even know yet themselves.Or they know what they need and will tell you,in the hope that you'll agree with whatever it is.Either way,asking the lazy question creates a win-win situation,as it results in a clear and direct request that will lead to the solution your employee is looking for.
By asking this lazy question,you avoid jumping in to help in the way which you first think is
needed—no more rescuer mode!Asking questions is a self-management tool because it keeps you lazy and yet shows your curiosity.
Be lazy and also be outspoken.Ask your employee,“What do you want from me?”Of course,be careful of how you say this,because not everyone will like this.Ask your employee,really,truly,“What can I do to help?”
It sounds easy,but it can be hard to resist the temptation to jump in and help someone,or to offer advice. However,in the end,you'll find that asking the lazy question makes you more useful to those you manage,and it will help you work less hard and.have more impact.
【1】What does the underlined part \"undermined their morale\" mean in Paragraph 2? A．Lowered their salary. B．Made them much lazier.
C．Gave them more freedom.
D．Affected their growth and enthusiasm.
【答案】D
【解析】词义猜测题。前半句指出你以为你在尽你所能，推知后半句意思：但是因为他们没有机会完成某件事，所以相反（破坏了他们的斗志）。undermined their morale破坏他们的斗志，D项“影响了他们的成长和热情”最合适。故选D.
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Most people like to be in control of the conversation. B．It's unwise to ask what an employee actually needs. C．Sometimes we can't help offering help to others. D．It is best to offer advice when you're asked to.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据第七段“It sounds easy, but it can be hard to resist the temptation to jump in and help someone, or to offer advice. ”可推知，人们会情不自禁的去帮助别人或者提供建议。故选C.
【3】Which can be the best title of the passage? A．Being a Lazy Manager is a Good Thing B．How to Offer Advice at Proper Time C．Why People are Willing to Help Others D．How to Become an Independent Employee
【答案】A
【解析】主旨大意题。文章一直在用“提问一个懒惰的问题”引导文章展开，讲述提问这个懒惰的问题却能给管理人员自己解决问题的能力。故选A. 【名师】
每篇文章都会有一个主旨要义。主旨要义型题范围一般包括：短文标题、主题大意或段落大意等。此题型要求考生在理解文章后归纳文章要点，概括中心思想。考生需要分析文章的篇章结构，抓住文章的开头或结尾，从而找出能概括文章的主题句。主题句的特点：（1）语言特点：归纳性、概括性、抽象性；（2）位置特点：主题句常出现在“总结性”语言的“信号词”后，如：in summary, in a word, as a result, finally, in short, in conclusion和in brief等；主题句常出现在“转移话题式”语言的“信号词”后，如：but, however, nevertheless等。标题的语言特点：独特新颖 、概括性强、短小精炼。
A．主旨大意主要的设题方式有：
（1）Which of the following best gives the main idea of this newspaper article? （2）The best headline for this newspaper article is ____. （3）What is the topic of the text? （4）The text is mainly about ______.
（5）What's the main point the writer is trying to make in the last paragraph？ （6）What would be the best title for the text？ B．主旨大意主要的解题策略有：
（1）标题类。文章标题可以是单词，短语，也可以是句子，它的特点是：短小精悍，多为一短语；涵盖性强，一般要求能覆盖全文，其确定的范围要恰当，既不能太大，也不能太小；精确性强，不能随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。
（2）主旨类。概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。
如小题3，文章一直在用“提问一个懒惰的问题”引导文章展开，作者提倡做一个“懒惰的管理者”，也就呼应了Being a Lazy Manager，并介绍作为一个管理者问一个懒惰的问题“我可以帮助你什么？”会让你对你的管理人员更有帮助，也就是说文中一直介绍作为“懒惰”的管理者的好处，从而推知答案。

200. As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money to buy more things is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them.
Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs (郊区), leaving their two children with a nanny (保姆). Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock, and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm here,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some
getting used to, but it has been worthy of. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.”
Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”
