Her latest book is Heres to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach book.“艾琳希尔德布兰德(Elin Hilderbrand)的写作生涯始于对家乡南塔开特岛(Nantucket)的描写。她的新书是Heres to Us，这也许并不奇怪，是一本很棒的沙滩书。”可知，Heres to Us适合在沙滩上读书是因为这是关于作者家乡的岛屿。故选A。【点睛】在细节考查题中有一类事实细节题 。该题属于细节类型的阅读理解题，一般只针对某个特定的细节，题型可以多种多样。此类题型一般分两种。第一种是直接理解题，在原文中可以直接找到答案。第二种是词义转换题，正确选项是原文有关词语和句子的转换。做此类试题一定要抓住事件发生的时间、地点、人物、发展过程和结局等环节，所选答案一定要符合原文，切不可望文生义。本题第2小题，根据SEATTLE: Whered You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple中What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the laughs.“真正引人注目的是奇怪的故事和笑声。”可知，the Whered You Go, Bernadette真正引人注目的是奇怪的故事和笑声。故选D。BIt was many years ago. I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I told the tale. When it came to the end I finished with those famous words: “And they lived happily ever after.” As I looked over to her with her wavy(鬈曲的), brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the smile on her face and I never wanted it to end. Then I realized that the ending of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldnt always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in sorrow and I couldnt comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I stroked(轻抚) her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be brief and that she would have joy in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the question.It takes me a lot of years to realize that it is possible to live happily ever after. You just have to do it “one day at a time”. Happiness you see isnt some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isnt something that depends on what life you own. Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy. Choose to “live happily ever after, one day at a time”.4. What is the authors wish to his daughter?A. Getting a good job in the future.B. Making many friends in her school.C. Traveling around the world in her life.D. Having a happy life ever after.5. What can we know from Paragraph 2?A. Lifes meaning consists in devotion.B. Living happily ever after seemed out of question to the author.C. There are times that life goes against us.D. Everyone has the right to obtain happiness and freedom.6. How to get happiness in authors opinion?A. Reward yourself once a day.B. Create it by yourself in your daily life.C. Get rid of those disturbing things.D. Take charge of your life independently.7. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To show the significance of love.B. To describe a daughters growth.C. To introduce the definition of love.D. To tell a young fathers experience.【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇倡导读者选择幸福生活的人生态度的文章。开篇首先谈到父亲给女儿讲童话故事，由此引出父亲希望女儿永远幸福，然后谈到女儿遇到种种挫折和不幸，父亲希望女儿痛苦的时间尽可能多，让快乐多于悲伤，一直保持幸福，接着说到父亲领悟到永远幸福的真谛。最后倡导大家选择每天都幸福的人生态度。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句I wanted her to “live happily ever after”.可知，作者对他女儿的愿望是“live happily ever after”.故选B。【5题详解】段落大意题。根据第二段中Still, deep in my heart I knew that this couldnt always be so. I knew that there would be times when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in sorrow and I couldnt comfort her. I knew there would be times when all she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair.“然而，在我内心深处，我知道这不可能总是这样。我知道她有时会心碎。我知道有时她会哭得很伤心，我无法安慰她。我知道她有时会感到恐惧、悲伤、悲伤和绝望。”从第二段可知，有时生活与我们背道而驰。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中Happiness is something you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.“幸福是你每天在生活中做出选择。”可知，以作者看来“幸福是在你的日常生活中自己创造它。”故选B。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy.“事实上，当你爱的时候，幸福就来了。爱是上帝的礼物。只有爱才能修补破碎的心。是爱治愈了悲伤。是爱给了我们快乐。”可知，作者的目的是“为了展示爱的意义。”故选A。【点睛】抓住文章主线和关键词语，归纳文章中心要注意不是所有的段落都有主题句，有时主题句暗含在句中。阅读这样的文章，就需要自己根据文章的细节来分析，概括出段落的主题，从而推导出文章的主旨。分析的方法是：先弄清该段落主要讲了哪几方面的内容，这些内容在逻辑上有什么联系，然后加以归纳形成主题。本题第4小题，根据最后一段中The truth is happiness comes when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that mends broken hearts. It is love that heals grief. It is love that gives us joy.“事实上，当你爱的时候，幸福就来了。爱是上帝的礼物。只有爱才能修补破碎的心。是爱治愈了悲伤。是爱给了我们快乐。”可知，作者的目的是“为了展示爱的意义。”故选A。CTablets（平板电脑） are useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldnt it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tablet-shaped but foldable（可折叠的） phone is about to become available. In February, Samsung and Huawei both introduced foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X separately, to the public for the first time. Mobile phone use has entered the “foldable future”, the Verge noted.The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers, which could help increase available space to the maximum. In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsungs senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “Its a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17, 500 RMB. Thats a price that few people will be able to afford.But if the foldable device isnt going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming. Patrick Moorhead, an industry expert told The Verge, “Few are debating if foldable mobile displays are the future of smartphones; the only question is when and by whom.”8. What do we know about foldable devices?A. They are too big to fit into the pocket.B. They could bring us much convenience.C. They have become available in January.D. They are a burden to carry around without a bag.9. What can we learn from Denisons words?A. The foldable screen has great potential.B. The technology could change other devices too.C. There must be many problems with the technology.D. The production of foldable phones will soon decrease.10. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. completeB. properC. imperfectD. normal11. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Types of foldable phones.B. The coming of foldable devices.C. Popular devices on the market.D. Difficulties in producing foldable phones.【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是“可折叠设备的到来”。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want but still fit easily into the pocket. The technology could change other devices too.“这项技术可以在很大程度上改变我们的生活。由于其可弯曲的屏幕，这些设备给我们提供了我们想要的更大的屏幕，但仍然很容易放进口袋。这项技术也可能改变其他设备。”可知，折叠设备可以给我们带来很多方便。故选B。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中In a keynote address, Justin Denison, Samsungs senior vice president, called the foldable screen “the basis for the smartphone of tomorrow”. “Its a blank canvas (画布) for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.“三星高级副总裁贾斯汀丹尼森(Justin Denison)在主题演讲中称，可折叠屏幕是“未来智能手机的基础”。“这是一块空白的画布，我们可以一起做一些美好的事情，”他说。”从Denison的话里可知折叠屏幕具有很大的潜力。故选A。【10题详解】词义猜测题。根据第三段中According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce.“据科技新闻网站Android Authority称，必要的显示屏很难制作。”和第三段中Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent.“如今，这一比例已从10%提高到近90%。”可知，In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable.中的划线词的意思是“不完美的”。故选C。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中But if the foldable device isnt going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.“但如果这种可折叠设备不能在一夜之间改变世界，那么毫无疑问，它将会到来。”可知本文最佳主题是“可折叠设备的到来”。故选B。【点睛】做词义猜测题时，我们要特别注意熟词生义，切不可脱离语境想当然。在句子或段落中，我们可以利用熟悉的词语，根据语言环境所表示的关系推断生词词义，尤其要重视划线词前后的内容。本题第3小题，根据第三段中According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce.“据科技新闻网站Android Authority称，必要的显示屏很难制作。”和第三段中Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to almost 90 percent.“如今，这一比例已从10%提高到近90%。”可知，In 2012, nine out of ten foldable screens produced were defective or unusable.中的划线词的意思是“不完美的”。故选C。DBlue Planet IIs latest episode(一集) focuses on how plastic is having a disastrous effect on the ocean and slowly poisoning our sea creatures. Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench，have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plasticThough it seems now that the world couldnt possibly function without plastics， plastics used by consumers are a remarkably recent invention. The first plastic bags were introduced in the 1950s; the same decade that plastic packaging began gaining in popularity in the United States. This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early scienceWe put all these plastics into the environment and we still dont really know what the outcomes are going to be. What we do know, though, is disturbing. Ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of marine animals every year. Nearly 700 species，including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percentAnd its not just wildlife that is threatened by the plastics in our seas. Humans are consuming plastics through the seafood we eat. I could understand why some people see ocean plastic as a disaster, worth mentioning to the same degree as climate change. But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change. There are no ocean trash deniers （否认者）, at least so far. To do something about it, we dont have to remake our planet energy systemThis is not a problem where we dont know what the solution is. We know how to pick up garbageAnyone can do itWe know how to dispose （处理） of it. We know how to recycle. We can all start by thinking twice before we use plastic products. Things may seem ordinary, like using a reusable bottle or a reusable bag. But when taken collectively, these choices really do make a difference12. Why is plastics pollution research still a very early science?A. The plastics pollution research is too difficultB. Plastics have produced less pollution than coalC. The world couldnt possibly function without plasticsD. Plastics have gained in popularity too fast for science to catch up13. How did the author support his opinion in Paragraph 3?A. By statisticsB. By quotations from leading expertsC. By using examples from his own experienceD. By comparison and contrast14. What can we infer about climate change ?A. Climate change is caused by human activitiesB. Climate change is not as simple as ocean pollutionC. Climate change is less important than ocean pollutionD. Ocean plastic is more complicated than climate change15. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Ocean pollution is a global issueB. The oceans become choked with plasticC. Blue Planet II has left viewers heartbrokenD. Plastics gain in popularity all over the world【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是“海洋被塑料污染了。”【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中This growth has happened so fast that science is still catching up with the change. Plastics pollution research, for instance, is still a very early science“这种增长如此之快，以至于科学仍在追赶这种变化。塑料污染的研究,举例来说,仍然是一个非常早期的科学。”可知，塑料污染研究之所以仍然是一门非常早期的科学，是因为塑料流行太快而科学不能赶上来。故选D。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中Nearly 700 species，including endangered ones, are known to have been affected by it. One in three leatherback turtles, which often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, have been found with plastic in their bellies. Ninety percent of seabirds are now eating plastics on a regular basis. By 2050, that figure is expected to rise to 100 percent“近700种,包括濒危的,都受到它的影响。三分之一的棱皮龟腹部都有塑料制品，它们经常把塑料袋误认为水母。现在90%的海鸟定期食用塑料。到2050年,这一数字预计将上升到100%。”可知，在第三段作者通过数据来支持他的建议。故选A。14题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中But ocean plastic is not as complicated as climate change.可知，气候变化并不是如海洋污染一样简单。故选B。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段中Researchers recently also found that sea creatures living in the deepest place on Earth, the Mariana Trench，have plastic in their stomachs. Indeed, the oceans are drowning in plastic“研究人员最近还发现,海洋生物生活在地球上最深的地方,马里亚纳海沟,塑料在他们的胃。实际上,海洋是淹没在塑料。”可知，海洋被塑料污染了。故选B。第二节 七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项是多余选项。When you start a new job, youll probably be introduced to a lot of new people on your first day.
