toothfairy,too.（当我们的女儿Meegan,五个孩子中最大的一个，在六岁时失去了门牙时，我们发现下面的

纸条包裹在这颗小牙齿上。请给我你的魔杖，我也想成为一名牙仙）”可知，Meegan给牙仙子写了一个纸条

表达自己的愿望，父母抓住这个教育的契机，以牙仙子的口吻跟孩子进行交流。所以“theteachable

moment（可教的时刻）”指的是Meegan给牙仙子写了一个纸条表达自己的愿望（Meeganwroteanote）,父母

skills,preciousopportunityandtheteachablemoment,the“ToothFairy“leftthefollowingnoteforlittle

Meegan（认识到潜在的领导技能、宝贵的机会和，“牙仙”给小米根留下了以下便条）”可知，Meegan给牙

仙子写了一个纸条表达自己的愿望，父母抓住这个教育的契机"theteachablemoment（可教的时刻）”，以牙

仙子的口吻跟孩子进行交流。故选B。

【答案】8.A9.C10.B11.D

【解析】

【分析】这是一篇议论文，介绍了古代地图的顶部是不同的方向，但是现在地图一般都是北在上的，所以

人们认为北方是好的。而南在上的地图不仅让我们有机会从不同角度看世界，也让每个人有机会看到自己

处于顶峰。

【8题详解】

2田节理解题。由文章第二段“AncientEgyptianmapshadsouthatthetopbecausetheNileRiverflowsdownhill

thetopwerethoseofearlyChinabecausetheemperorlivedinthenorth.（古埃及地图的顶部是南，因为尼罗河从

南部的山脉流向北部的地中海。麦加位于大多数早期穆斯林文明的南部，因此人们设计了向南的地图，这

样人们就可以抬头看到麦加。中世纪的基督教地图上有东方，因为他们认为伊甸园在东方。只有早期的中

国地图，上面有北方，因为皇帝住在北方。厂可知，古代大部分国家的地图的顶部是南或者东方，只有中国

将北作为地图的顶部，所以以北为上的地图在古代是很少见的。故选A项。

【9题详解】

细节理解题。由文章第四段“Whatistheimplicationofthisnorthviewoftheworld?Psychologically,peopletend

tothinkofupasgoodanddownasbad.（这个世界向北的观点意味着什么？心理上，人们倾向于认为向上是好

seethemselvesontop.（近年来，已经进行了几次尝试将南向地图引入市场。这些地图不仅让我们有机会从不

同的角度看世界，也让每个人都有机会看到自己处于顶峰。）”可知，作者知道现在大多数地图都是北向上的，

但是他认为南向上的地图也是有好处的，希望南向上的地图可以让人们从另一个角度看待世界和自己，可

推知作者写这篇文章的目的是支持这个观点，南向上的地图可以让我们多一个角度看世界。故选D项。

林的黑暗深处，那里的自然资源不是很多，植物不会像那些在中等树荫下的植物那样，试图在生长上超过

它们的邻居）”可知，在中度阴暗的环境中，植物试图比其邻居长得高。故选C。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中的"Sohowdoplantspreventsuchgrowthindeepshadeconditions?Thesecretlies

intheclocksinsidethem（那么植物是如何在阴暗处防止这种生长的呢？秘密就在它们里面的时钟里）”和第

三段中的“Theseclockponentsperformanadditionalroleinpreventingplantsfromlengtheningandovertopping

neighbors.（这些时钟组件在防止植物伸长和超过邻居方面起着额外的作用）”可知，生物钟通过控制它们在阴

凉处的生长影响植物。故选D。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段中的"Thisworkcastsnewlightonanewroleofthecircadianclockinadaptingplants

topetitionwithotherplantsintheirenvironments.（这项工作揭示了生物钟在植物适应环境中与其他植物竞争

中的新作用）”可知，根据安东尼•多德教授的说法，生物钟影响植物对生存竞争的适应性。故选C。

【答案】16.D17.F18.A19.G20.C

【解析】

【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述了在现实生活中摆脱孤独的方法。

【16题详解】

前句"Theonlywaytobreakawayfromitistoreconnectwiththeselfandthepeoplewhosurroundus.（摆脱它的

唯一方法是重新联系自我和我们周围的人）”提出摆脱孤独的方法，后句“Here、whatwecando.（以下是我

们该怎么做）”是引出具体做法，所以此空就应该是继续阐述这个方法。再结合第一段是以第一人称行文的，

D项“这需要我们重新审视、重新考虑和适应”符合语境，讲述这个方法对人们的要求。故选D。

【17题详解】

本段主旨句是"Connectwithyourownself（与你自己建立联系）”，结合下文“Developingaconsciousand

mindfulapproachisanessentialelementtowardsensuringthereisnodisconnectednessfrompeoplewhosurround

youandthelifeyoubuildforyourself.（发展一种有意识的方法是确保你与周围的人以及你为自己建立的生活

没有脱节的基本要素）”中的“consciousandmindfUlapproach”可知，F项“自我意识是理解你的需求和欲

望的关键”符合语境，F项中的selfawareness既符合本段主题，又呼应下文。故选F。

【18题详解】

分析文章结构可知，设空处是第三段的小标题，所以答案应该在A、B项中选择。结合第三段的第一句

uLearningtosay4no9tothepeopleandactivitiesthatarebeyondyourability.（学会对另！J人和超出自己能力以外

的事情说不）”可知，本段主要讲述要了解什么能做，什么不能做，A项“设置界限”符合语境。故选A。

【19题详解】

结合本段的小标题“Dothethingsyoulove（做你喜欢的事）”和空后的but转折关系以及essential和

significant的近义词提示可知，此处是讲述和别人有关的事情虽然重要，但顾及自己的需求也很重要，G项

“努力为你周围的人腾出时间是很重要的”符合语境。故选G。

【20题详解】

根据小标题的主题词time可以定位C项“不要让时间偷偷溜走”，后一句的it代词指代时间，此句和下文

形成对比关系。不要让时间偷偷溜走，而应该充分利用它，花在你在乎的人身上。故选C。

第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）

第一节（共15小题:每小题1分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
