第3讲 词义猜测题【真题达标组】A(2019 浙江卷， B)Money_with_no_strings_attached. Its not something you see every day. But at Union Station in Los Angeles last month, a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that read, “Give What You Can, Take What You Need.”People quickly caught on. And while many took dollars, many others pinned their own cash to the board. “People of all ages, races, and socioeconomic (社会经济的) backgrounds gave and took, ”said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox, which created the project. “We even had a bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.” Most of the bills on the board were singles, but a few people left fives, tens and even twenties. The video clip (片段) shows one man who had found a $ 20 bill pinning it to the board.“What I can say for the folks that gave the most, is that they were full of smiles，” Bridges said. “Theres a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those that gave the most.” Most people who took dollars took only a few, but Bridges said a very small number took as much as they could.While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign, Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy. He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar projects and post their own videos on the Internet.“After all, everyone has bad days and good days，” he said. “Some days you need a helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”()1.What does the expression “money with no strings attached” in Paragraph 1 mean?AMoney spent without hesitation. BMoney not legally made.CMoney offered without conditions. DMoney not tied together.()2.What did Bridges want to show by mentioning the bride? AWomen tended to be more sociable.BThe activity attracted various people.CEconomic problems were getting worse.DYoung couples needed financial assistance.()3.Why did Bridges carry out the project?ATo do a test on peoples morals. BTo raise money for his company.CTo earn himself a good reputation. DTo promote kindness and sympathy.【语篇解读】本文简单介绍了Tyler Bridges在洛杉矶发起的The Toolbox及其影响、意义。1C句义猜测题。no strings attached指“无附加条件”；without conditions意为“无条件”，故选C。后文“Give What You Can”也可体现。2B推理判断题。根据第二段中的“People of all ages, races, and socioeconomic backgrounds gave and took”可知有各种人都参与到了这个项目中，甚至包含新娘。3D推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Bridges said the only goal was to show generosity and sympathy.”可知这个项目的主要目的是鼓励人们心存善意、伸出援手。B(2018全国卷， D)Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects.Why do we often assume that more_is_more when it comes to kids and their belongings?

to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金)”可知，当“我们”承诺给她把卖玩具的钱放到她的教育基金里时，她同意了卖玩具。故选C。6A细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.”表明，跟Shepherd玩球是为了测试自己的一种想法是否可行。故选A。7C主旨大意题。根据文章第一段可知，作者想要教会孩子“how to live more with less”，而接下来的第二、三段是作者的尝试，故C作标题适合。C(2018浙江卷， B)Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks.His strange habit makes sense when you consider that hes an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road.What is even more interesting is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year.So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts (收银台)The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles.Eyeing these headwinds,_plasticbag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.Among the bag makers argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport.And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today.The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags.The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plasticbag use it cancels out.However, longerlasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic.Environmentalists dont dispute(质疑) these points.They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years.()8.What has Steven Stein been hired to do?AHelp increase grocery sales.BRecycle the waste material.CStop things falling off trucks.DArgue for the use of plastic bags.()9.What does the word “headwinds” in

or NeitherBIndustry, Pollution and EnvironmentCRecycle or Throw AwayDGarbage Collection and Waste Control【语篇解读】本文讨论塑料袋和可以回收的袋子相比是否污染更大。一些人认为可以回收的袋子虽然很容易回收，但需要更多的能量来生产和运输，从这个角度来说，哪一个更环保还不能轻易确定。8D细节理解题。根据第二段的“plasticbag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.”可知，塑料袋制造商正在雇佣像斯坦这样的科学家，以证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样坏，所以他是被雇佣来争取解除塑料袋使用禁令的，因此答案是D。9A词义猜测题。根据第二段第三句 “The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles.”可知，在加利福尼亚的90个城市禁止使用塑料袋，包括洛杉矶，所以本句的headwinds应该表示“对塑料袋禁令”，所以答案是A。10D细节理解题。根据第三段的“Among the bag makers arguments: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport.”可知，在制袋商的争论中：许多城市仍然允许购物者购买纸袋，纸袋很容易回收，但需要更多的能量来生产和运输。所以答案是D。11A主旨大意题。根据整篇文章来看，主要是讨论塑料袋和可以回收的袋子哪一个更环保，所以题目应该选择A：Plastic, Paper or Neither。【模拟提能组】A(江西新余四中2020届高三年级暑假检测)What Theresa Loe is doing proves that a large farm isnt a prerequisite for a modern growyourown lifestyle. On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can (装罐) and preserve much of the food they consume.Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert. She also operates a website, where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that everyone has the ability to control whats on their plate.Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food. “ Got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs(香草)and foods for that fresh flavor，” she said. Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night school. She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods.“I teach people how to live farmfresh without a farm，” Loe said. Through her website Loe emphasizes that “anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartment with a balcony (阳台)? Plant some herbs. A window perfect spot for growing. Start with herbs, she recommends, because “theyre very forgiving.” Just a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level，” she added. “I think its a great place to start.” “Then try growing something from a seed，” she said, “like a tomato or some tea.”Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does. With every planted food, Loe noted, theres a moment when its bursting with its absolute peak flavor. “I try to keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar，” Loe said. “Canning for me is about knowing whats in your food, knowing where it comes from.”In addition to being more in touch with the food shes eating, another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children: “Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the_bigger_picture，” she said, “that if we dont take care of the earth, no one will.”()1.The underlined word “prerequisite” (Para.1) is closest in meaning to “_”ArecipeBsubstituteCrequirementDchallenge()2.Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs?AThey are used daily.BThey are easy to grow.CThey can grow very tallDThey can be eaten uncooked.()3.According to Loe, what is the benefit of canning her planted foods?AIt can preserve their best flavor.BIt can promote her online sales.CIt can better her cooking skills.DIt can improve their nutrition.()4.What is the “the bigger picture” (Para. 6) that Loe wishes her children to understand?AThe knowledge about good food.BThe way to live a growourown life.CThe joy of getting in touch with foods.DThe responsibility to protect our earth.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。Loe是“自己种植”现代生活方式的实践者，她热衷于自己种植香草和味道新鲜的食物，并将食物装入密封罐中保持以保持最佳的风味，更想通过自己的举动影响孩子们，让他们意识到保护地球的责任。1C词义猜测题。根据首段第二句“On a mere 1/10 of an acre and preserve much of the food they consume.”可知面积并不是硬要求。该句句意为：Loe在那里所做的一切证明，一个大农场对“自己种植”现代生活方式来说并不是一个硬要求。故选C项。2B细节理解题。根据第四段中“Start with herbs Just a little of the herbs”可知，香草很容易生长。故选B项。3A细节理解题。根据第五段中“theres a moment when its bursting with its absolute peak flavor.
