What does the underlined part “account for” probably mean?A. show B. proveC. explain D. present.2. What do we know from the Third paragraph?A. Sullivan had very normal behavior.B. Sullivan was ignored by everyone.C. Sullivan was kept away from her parents.D. Sullivan was believed lo have a mental problem.3. What would be the best title for the next?A. The Power of Love B. Making a DifferenceC. A Good Teacher D. Remarkable Achievements【答案】1. C 2. D 3. A【解析】文章主要讲述了被一度认为有精神问题的Annie Sullivan，在一位护士的关心与爱护下，慢慢恢复健康重新点燃了她生命的灯塔。爱的力量是伟大的。1. 词义猜测题。根据“How do you explain the fact”你如何解释这样一个事实。可知account for为解释的意思。故选C。2. 推理判断题。根据“at one time,diagnosed as hopelessly “insane” by her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of a mental institution.”曾经她被护理者们诊断为无药可救的精神病，被关在精神病院的地下室。可推断出Annie Sullivan被认为有精神问题。故选D。3. 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了被一度认为有精神问题的Annie Sullivan，在一位护士的关心与爱护下，慢慢恢复健康重新点燃了她生命的灯塔。爱的力量是伟大的。故选A。【名师点睛】词义猜测题主要的解题策略有：(1) 依据标点符号猜测词义。标点符号是词义猜测的最直接，最简单的信号词。比如，破折号、冒号常常起解释说明的功能，引号和括号有时也起到相同的作用。.(3) 依据下定义，作解释猜测词义。在说明文、科技文中运用下定义或解释概念的方法来定义或诠释某一名词或概念是文章写作的又一特点。在写作方法上常采用先总后分(即先定义后解释)或先分后总(即先说明后结论)的叙述方式。常用的定义信号词有： be defined as/be termed(被定义为) ，be called (被称为), mean/refer to/be(意指，是)。(4) 依据逻辑推理猜测词义。运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。常见的逻辑关系有：因果关系，同位关系，对比关系，转折关系等。此外，考生还可以依据词性变化和词义变化(词义引申 )来猜测词义。例如：本文中的第1小题。【解题剖析】本文中的第4小题属于词义猜测题的第（4）依据逻辑推理猜测词义。充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。BEvents at Brown12:00 PM1:00 PM,March 1,2020I had no idealExport Control Brown Bag (4-part series)Horace Mann House,Room 103,47-49 George StreetBrowns Office of Research Integrity (ORI) is hosting a 4-part Brown Bag series on “Export Controls at the University”.Export Controls are federal government laws and regulations.The series will explore when research activities fall under Export Control laws,why “fundamental research”is so important,and why traveling to sanctioned（被制裁的）or embargoed（被禁运的）countries,such as Iran or Cuba,still presents a lot of challenges.The first session,“I had no idea!”,will explore why export controls cannot be ignored at a university campus.The sessions are open to the entire Brown community.Booking in advance is required: juliane_4:00 PM5:00 PM,March 1,2020JCB Weekly Afternoon TalkJohn Carter Brown Library,Reading Room,94 George StreetInformal weekly afternoon presentation in the MacMillan Reading Room at the John Carter Brown Library (JCB).Fellows in Residence will give a talk on their current research project.Q & A session follows,along with a display of relevant items from our collection.All are invited to attend this free,weekly event.6:30 PM7:30 PM,March 1,2020Brow Amateur Radio Club MeetingSayles Hall.Room 305,79-81 Waterman StreetThe weekly meeting of the Brown Amateur Radio Club.All are welcome to attend and learn more about radio and join the clubno license required!8:00 PM-9:00 PM,March 1,2020Athletes in Action Prime Time GatheringPembroke Field House,449-451 Brook StreetJoin your fellow Brown University athletes to learn more about faith,sport,and life.Through guest speakers, team building activities,and small group discussions,we explore the intersection（交集）of the spiritual and the physical in order to maximize our potential.We meet every Thursday 8-9 pm in Pembroke Field House.There are new athletes that attend every week,and most likely youll know a number of them already since there are many different teams represented.Hope to see you there!4.

Instead,when we try something new,we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesnt work out the way we want it to,we will be in a position to try again.We all have limited resourcesin the form of time and moneyso we shouldnt blow them all on one approach to a problem.Its best that we realize it probably wont be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so we can learn,make corrections, and try again.Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.There is an old saying that goes,“If youre not making mistakes,youre not trying hard enough.”So go forth and make mistakes.8.

What can we know about green building?A. Producing no waste. B. Only using clean energy.C. Being made of new materials. D. Environmental friendly.13. What is a green building probably like according to the fifth paragraph?A. Large. B. Small.C. Green. D. Low.14. What is the purpose of using green roofs?A. To fit the environment. B. To keep warm.C. To collect nature water. D. To lower costs.15. What is the text mainly about?A. Promoting energy efficiency. B. Environmental benefits.C. Building green. D. Ecosystems and biodiversity.【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C【解析】文章主要讲述了绿色建筑的各种特点能够更加有效的改善空气和水的质量，减少废物流入河流和自然资源的保护。12. 细节理解题。根据“The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity（生物多样性）,improved air and water quality,less waste flowing into streams and the protection of natural resources.” 建设绿色环境效益包括生态系统和生物多样性的保护（生物多样性），改善空气和水的质量，减少废物流入河流和自然资源的保护。可知绿色建筑很环保。故选D。13. 细节理解题。根据“More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well,so it is important to build small.”更大的建筑需要更多的精力与费用，所以建造小型的更加重要。故选B。14. 推理判断题。根据“Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost.” 绿色屋顶是绿色住宅的另一个特点，可以减少能源的使用和成本。故选D。15. 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了绿色建筑的各种特点能够更加有效的改善空气和水的质量，减少废物流入河流和自然资源的保护。故选C。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Many teenagers wants to look cool._16_Chloe Murray,an eighth-grader at Jefferson Middle School in the US, realized this problem and established a charitable clothes closet（衣橱）to help her peers._17_The school let her use a room for the project.Chloes classmates joined her as well.Last month,the charitable clothes closet,called Chloes Closet,opened._18_“Confidence is a real issue in middle school,especially when it comes to clothing,”Chloe told the Chicago Tribune,a daily newspaper in Chicago,US._19_Many people from the schools community and neighboring schools donated used and new clothes.The clothes closet is only open after school.Students can “buy” these clothes
