21、 battling a life-threatening illness, Ians life decided to take another turn completely.

27、e most people encounter difficulty accepting the situation and spend most time losing sleep over it, a few individuals are courageous enough to accept it, with a big smile on their face.”可知，某些不幸事件具有完全颠覆生活的力量。虽然大多数人都很难接受这种情况，而且大部分时间都在为此失眠，但也有少数人有足够的勇气去接受它，并面带微笑。文章从第二段开始，介绍了伊恩面对疾病，勇敢乐观的故事。第一段在讲道理，后文是举

28、出具体例子，即文章通过谈论生活哲学开始。结合选项，C选项正确。故选C。【5题详解】词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Ian took this obstacle in life as a challenge and decided to take it head-on rather than waste time dwelling over it. With the optimistic thinking of A disability is not an inability, he decided to start writing and promoting Golf for the disabl

29、ed.”可知，伊恩把生活中的这个障碍当作一种挑战，决定直面它，而不是浪费时间在它上面徘徊。怀着“残疾不是无能”的乐观想法，他决定开始为残疾人写作和推广高尔夫。由此可知，该句指的是：伊恩生活中的巨大挫折并不足以使这个意气风发的人泄气，失去动力。故划线词的意思应该是“使泄气，使丧失动力”。故选A。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Ian is a man of bravery. He described his life as still living the dream. How he fought to recover from the deadly illness, followed

30、 by the stroke, is nothing but an incredible journey, which is an inspiration to people”可知，伊恩是个勇敢的人。他形容自己的生活“仍然活在梦想中”。他如何从致命的疾病中康复，然后是中风，这是一段不可思议的旅程，对人们来说是一种鼓舞。由此推知，作者非常钦佩伊恩，对他的精神持赞美的态度。故选B。7题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“While most people encounter difficulty accepting the situation and spend most time losing sle

31、ep over it, a few individuals are courageous enough to accept it, with a big smile on their face.”可知，一些人足够勇敢面对生活中的困难。下文通过伊恩的例子证明了这一点。所以作者通过这篇文章想告诉读者“勇敢地面对生活的挑战”。故选D。CAs is known, honesty is a virtue. It is admired in every culture. It means telling the truth and being fair and upright. So, is it nec

32、essary to be honest all the time? Could upping ones personal honesty light up a pleasure center in his own brain? My 6-year-old daughter said that telling the truth made her feel gold in her brain. Once she asked me if the cat really went to sleep last year, or if that actually meant that I had kill

33、ed him. I sighed, wondering if I should wait to start this honesty project until my child grew up. But I braved it and told her, Yes, I had made the choice for him, because he was suffering and I wanted him to be comfortable. It struck me that the choice to lie or be honest was often a choice betwee

34、n two equally undesirable things. Telling my daughter the truth did not make me happier, but lying would not either.There was another scene. When a client accidentally paid me twice as much money for a projectsending a $1,000 check a week after hed paid methere was no internal debate. It was $1,000,

35、 so obviously, I notified the client. But when the McDonalds cashier gave me an extra dollar in change and the line had been so long and all I wanted was a Diet Coke and my kids were acting crazily in the back seat, it was a different story. Even though I gave the dollar back, I almost didnt, becaus

36、e an extra dollar was such a small thing and seemed somehow justified. Had I not focused on honesty, I would not have given it back.When people were more honest, they also tended to feel better about their relationships and social interactions, the researchers found. This rang true to me, mostly bec

37、ause I felt better about myself. And focusing on honesty helped me feel that I was doing my part. It might even make me feel as if I had gold in my brain.8. Whats the function of the two questions in Paragraph 1?A. To introduce the topic of honesty.B. To help develop readers good quality.C. To remin

38、d readers to mind their manners.D. To teach everyone not to lie but be honest.9. How did the author feel on hearing the question about the death of the cat?A. Guilty.B. Confused.C. Regretful.D. Shamed.10. What does the author mainly want to express in Paragraph 3?A. Honesty doesnt lie in small insta

39、nces.B. Honesty is measured by the amount of money.C. He struggled more with the small instances of honesty.D. He experienced some different incidents about honesty.11. Whats the authors opinion on honesty?A. A white lie can be helpful.B. Honesty makes people better off.C. It is essential to be hone

40、st in daily life.D. One should be honest in small things.【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C【解析】本文为议论文。作者通过举例子阐述了自己对于诚实的看法，即在日常生活中诚实很重要，诚实能让人得到内心的认同感。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“As is known, honesty is a virtue. It is admired in every culture. It means telling the truth and being fair and upright. (众所周知，诚实是一种美德。它在每一种文化

41、中都受到赞赏。它意味着讲真话，公平和正直。)”接着作者提出“So, is it necessary to be honest all the time? Could upping ones personal honesty light up a pleasure center in his own brain?( 所以，有必要一直保持诚实吗?提高一个人的诚实程度能点燃他大脑中的快乐中枢吗?)”两个问题，可知这两个问题的作用是引出下文的“诚实”话题，即诚实的必要性和意义的更深思考。故选A。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“It struck me that the choice to lie

42、or be honest was often a choice between two equally undesirable things. Telling my daughter the truth did not make me happier, but lying would not either. ( 我突然意识到，说谎还是诚实往往是在两种同样令人不快的事情之间做出的选择。告诉女儿真相不会让我更快乐，说谎也不会。)”可知，作者听到关于女儿问起猫死亡的问题时是困惑迷茫的。故选B。【10题详解】推理判断题。第三段中作者举了两个例子，通过归还客户1000美元和麦当劳收银员1美元的心理描述对

43、比，再根据“Even though I gave the dollar back, I almost didnt, because an extra dollar was such a small thing and seemed somehow justified. Had I not focused on honesty, I would not have given it back.( 虽然我把1美元还回去了，但我差点就不还了，因为多拿1美元是那么微不足道，而且在某种程度上似乎是有道理的。如果我没有注重诚实，我也不会把它还回去。) ”可知当麦当劳收银员多找了作者一美元的时候，作者犹豫了一

44、下才归还了，可见他更纠结于诚实的小事例。故选C。【11题详解】推理判断题。通过作者讲述自己坦诚地告诉女儿猫的死因和归还客户和麦当劳收银员无意中多付给作者的钱的例子，可知，作者认为在日常生活中诚实是很重要的。此题容易误选B. Honesty makes people better off(诚实使人过得更好). 和D. One should be honest in small things(一个人应该在小事上诚实)两项，作者在文中谈到诚实是一种美德，当人们更诚实时，他们往往对自己的人际关系和社会交往感觉更好，作者认为诚实能让人得到内心的认同感，B项中， (be) better off意为“境况富

45、裕，更富有”，诚实并不能让人过的更好（better off），故排除B项，另外，人的诚实不应只局限于小事，事情无论大小，人都应该坦诚以对，故排除D项，综上。故选C。DPeople have long dreamt of a car that flies through the sky. Japans Sky Drive has carried out a successful, but modest test flight of such a vehicle carrying a person.It is just one of the many flying car projects aro

46、und the world. In a video shown to reporters, a vehicle that looked like a motorcycle lined up to two meters off the ground. It flew in circles in a protected area for four minutes.

49、 a pilot.Sky Drives flying car began as a volunteer project in 2012. The project received financial support from top Japanese companies including carmaker Toyota, electronics company Panasonic.

54、介绍了日本的“天空驾驶”成功试飞的载人飞行器项目。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The machine so far can fly for Just 5 to 10 minutes, but if the flight time can be extended to 30 minutes, the car will have more possibilities.（该机器目前只能飞行5 - 10分钟，但如果飞行时间可以延长到30分钟，汽车将有更多的可能性。）”可知，飞行汽车对飞行时间是有限制的。故选D项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Such vehicles cou

55、ld even fly without a pilot.（这种交通工具甚至可以在没有飞行员的情况下飞行。）”可知，与飞机相比，日本的飞行汽车可能会完成自动驾驶。故选D项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The goal is to expand the flying cars commercial use by the 2030s.（目标是到2030年扩大飞行汽车商业用途。）”可知，日本政府支持这个项目是为了让飞行汽车更多地应用于商业。故选C项。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Japans Sky Drive has carried out a successful, bu

56、t modest test flight of such a vehicle carrying a person.（日本的“天空驾驶”(Sky Drive)成功地进行了一次载人飞行器的小规模试飞。）”及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了日本“天空驾驶”所研究的飞行汽车。所以“Japans Sky Drive Flying Car”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B项。第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。In business and in life, silence could help you to get
