【点评】考查阅读理解，包含细节理解题、推理判断题，是一篇介绍类阅读，注意先略读文章，掌握文章大意，再分析题干及选项，到文中找到相关内容并进行理解。1．考查细节理解。根据Hangoutatthesameplaces部分中的"Onewayyoucangettogetherwitholdfriendsfromyourschoolistogotothesameplacesthattheygoto."有一种方法可以让你和学校的老朋友聚在一起，那就是去他们常去的地方。可知，你可以去老朋友去的地方和他们聚在一起。故选C。2．考查细节理解。根据Sportsteams部分中的"Ifyouareathleticandyourformerfriendsaretoo,joiningschoolsportsteamsisagreatwaytocatchupwitholdfriends."如果你擅长运动，你以前的朋友也是，加入学校的运动队是一个很好的与老朋友见面的方式。可知，参加体育运动可以帮助再次见到你的老朋友。故选A。3．考查推理判断。根据第一段"Ifyouhaveeverlosttouchwitholdschoolfriends,youmayfindyourselfwantingtomakecontactagain.Someteensfindthatcertainschoolfriendsareworthkeepingcontactwithandwanttokeepthefriendshipgoingstrong."如果你曾经与老同学失去联系，你可能会发现自己想要再次联系。一些青少年发现，某些学校的朋友是值得保持联系，并希望保持友谊牢固；以及下文给出的重新与老朋友建立联系的建议可推知，文章是为想要再次联系老朋友的读者提供方法，让他们成功联系上老朋友。故选D。【答案】4．D5．C6．B7．A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一个人的肢体语言可以通过很多方式说明他是否在说谎。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇生活类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。4．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Hemayalsotouchhisfaceoften,coveringhismouthwithhishandveryoften.Touchingthenoseisalsosaidtobeasignoftakingothers'attentiontocoveruplies."他也可能经常摸自己的脸，经常用手捂住嘴。触摸鼻子也被认为是吸引别人注意来掩盖谎言的信号。可知，说谎的人经常用手捂住嘴以及触摸鼻子被认为是吸引别人的注意力来掩盖谎言；以及"Apersonwhoisnottellingthetruthmaybetryingtomakeyoufocusonhisactionsratherthanhiswords."一个不说实话的人可能是想让你把注意力集中在他的行为上，而不是他的话上。可知，一个说谎的人想让你把注意力集中到他的行为上，可推断，说谎者用手捂嘴是为了转移听者的注意力。故选D。5．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的"Averyskillfulliarisabletospeakdirectlyandwithconfidence.Infact,somesalespeoplearebestatthisskill."一个非常熟练的说谎者能够直接而自信地说话。事实上，有些销售人员最擅长这项技能。可知，擅长说谎的人能够直接而自信的说话，销售人员最擅长这项技能，可推知，作者认为销售人员他们很自信地说话。故选C。6．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"Anothersignofsomeonetellingalieisyawning(哈欠)—thepersonmaytryandlookasrelaxedaspossible,andyawingandstretchingarewaysofachievingthis."说谎的另一个标志是打哈欠——这个人可能会试图让自己看起来尽可能放松，而打哈欠和伸懒腰是达到这个目的的方式。可知，说谎的人经常大哈欠，他是试图让自己尽可能看起来放松，可知，说谎的人打哈欠是看起来放松。故选B。7．考查推理判断。根据第一段"Therearemanywaysinwhichaperson'sbodylanguagecangiveyouinformationaboutwhethertheyarelyingornot."一个人的肢体语言可以通过很多方式告诉你他是否在说谎。可知，本文介绍的是一个人的肢体语言可以通过很多方式告诉你他是否在说谎；第二段中的"Oneofthebiggestsignsthatapersonistellingliesisthatheavoidseyecontactduringconversation."一个人说谎的最大标志之一是他在谈话中避免目光接触；第三段中的"Whenaliar(说谎者)tellslies,hisphysicalexpressionisoftenverystiff(僵硬的)."说谎者说谎时，他的肢体表情往往很僵硬；第四段中的"Theliar'shand,legandarmmovementsaretowardhisownbody.Hetakesuplittlespace."说谎者的手、腿和手臂的动作都是朝向自己的身体。他不占地方；以及第五段中的"Whenexplainingsomething,aliarusuallyfeelsuncomfortablewithpauses(停顿)orsilences."说谎者在解释某事时，通常会对停顿或沉默感到不舒服。可知，作者每段中对说谎者的一些肢体语言说明他在说谎的简要介绍可知，本文是通过进行解释展开的。故选A。【答案】8．C9．A10．D11．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Vodkaholy的姨妈救助了一只被遗弃在垃圾桶中的小猫咪，这只猫被发现时状况很糟糕，经兽医检查后被发现是只罕见雄性的花斑猫，现在被姨妈照顾地很好。

【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，词义猜测和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。8．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Notonlyhadthecatbeenimmediatelyabandonedafteritwasborn,butitwasinjuredandhaddevelopedaseriousillness.Justafewdaysold,ithadabrokenlegandabadlyinjuredpaw(爪).Sadly,afterthecat'srescuertookittothevet(兽医),theyfoundoutthatthepawcouldn'tbesaved."这只猫不仅在出生后立即被遗弃，而且还受伤并患上了严重的疾病。刚出生几天，它就断了一条腿，爪子严重受伤。可悲的是，当猫的救援者把它带到兽医那里后，他们发现爪子已经无法挽救了。可知，这只被遗弃的猫当时断了一条腿，爪子严重受伤，无法挽救，还患有严重的疾病。可推知，当它被发现时，情况很糟糕。故选C。9．考查推理判断。根据第二段中"Luckily,Vodkaholy'sauntheardthetinymewsthatthecatwaslettingout.Itappearsshewastheonewhorescuedthebaby,whowasonlyaweekold."幸运的是，Vodkaholy的姨妈听到了猫发出的微小的叫声。似乎是她救了这个只有一周大的小猫咪；以及最后一段"Vodkaholy'sauntiskeepingthecat.Itgrowshealthyandhappyevenifitonlyhas3paws.Anditisnotthefirstcatthissweetaunthasbroughthome."Vodkaholy的姨妈在养这只猫。虽然它只有3只爪子，它成长得健康而快乐。这不是这位善良的阿姨带回家的第一只猫了。可知，Vodkaholy的姨妈救助了被遗弃的小猫咪，用心地把它养得很好，而且她以前也救助过其他的猫。可推知，她很热心，富有爱心。故选A。10．考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的"Allweknowabouttheabandoned(被抛弃的)newborncatthatmadenewsforitsgeneticrarenesscomesfromaweb."我们所知道的那只因基因罕见而成为新闻的被遗弃的新生猫的消息都来自网络；以及"thevethadanotherbigsurpriseforthewoman"兽医还为这位女士准备了另一个大惊喜；和"forcalicocatstobemale"花斑猫是雄性的。可推知，惊喜之处在于这只猫的基因，雄性的花斑猫应该很罕见，划线词scarce意思应该是"罕见的，少见的"，故选D。11．考查标题归纳。通读全文可知，本文讲述了Vodkaholy的姨妈救助了一只被遗弃在垃圾桶中的小猫咪的故事，并介绍了小猫咪的一些信息，包括其被发现时状况很糟糕，以及它是只罕见雄性的花斑猫。"一位善良的女士在垃圾桶里救了一只猫"概括了文章大意，适合作为标题。故选C。【答案】12．A13．C14．C15．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了10岁学一门外语可以增强脑力。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。12．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"researcheshaveshownthatlearningaforeignlanguagecanstrengthenbrainpower."研究表明，学习一门外语可以增强脑力。可知，把英语作为外语来学习的人脑力更强。故选A。13．考查细节理解。根据第二段"Itindicatesthatpeoplewhobeganlearningaforeignlanguageat10andwerealwaysexposedtothelanguage,meaningtheyheardanduseditindailylife,hadimprovementsinthestructureofthebrain'swhitemattercomparedwithpeoplewhogrewupspeakingonlyonelanguageanddidnotlearnaforeignlanguage."研究表明，那些从10岁开始学习一门外语并一直接触到这门语言的人，也就是说他们在日常生活中听到并使用这门语言，与那些从小只说一门语言、没有学习过外语的人相比，他们的大脑白质结构有所改善；以及第四段"Thenewfindings,publishedintheNationalAcademyofSciencesonMonday,studiedbrainscansfrom200subjects,allaroundtheageof30,wholivedinBritainforatleast13months.TheyallstartedlearningEnglishasaforeignlanguageattheageof10."这项新发现于周一发表在《美国国家科学院》上，研究人员对200名30岁左右的受试者进行了脑部扫描，这些受试者在英国生活了至少13个月。他们都是从10岁开始学习英语作为外语的。可知，我们能从200名受试者的脑部扫描中了解到这200名受试者的大脑白质结构得到改善。故选C。14．考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的"Everydaydealingwithmorethanonelanguagebenefitsspecificlanguage-relatedbrainstructuresbypreservingtheirintegrity"研究发现:"每天使用一种以上的语言有利于保持与语言相关的特定大脑结构的完整性。可知，这些大脑结构在老年时会得到保护从而不会恶化，则划线词deterioration意为"恶化"，故选C。15．考查主旨大意。根据第一段"Speakingtwolanguagesdeeplyaffectsthebrainandchangeshowthenervoussystemreactstosound,andresearcheshaveshownthatlearningaforeignlanguagecanstrengthenbrainpower,butanewstudysuggeststhattheeffectsgofurthertothosewhobegininmiddlechildhood."会说两种语言会对大脑产生深刻的影响，并改变神经系统对声音的反应。研究表明，学习一门外语可以增强脑力，但一项新的研究表明，对那些从童年中期开始学习外语的人来说，这种影响更大；以及第二段"Itindicatesthatpeoplewhobeganlearningaforeignlanguageat10andwerealwaysexposedtothelanguage,meaningtheyheardanduseditindailylife,hadimprovementsinthestructureofthebrain'swhitemattercomparedwithpeoplewhogrewupspeakingonlyonelanguageanddidnotlearnaforeignlanguage."研究表明，那些从10岁开始学习一门外语并一直接触到这门语言的人，也就是说他们在日常生活中听到并使用这门语言，与那些从小只说一门语言、没有学习过外语的人相比，他们的大脑白质结构有所改善。可知，文章主要讲述了10岁学一门外语可以增强脑力。故选D。【答案】16．A；17．E；18．B；19．D；20．G【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了匹克球的起源，匹克球的规则及发展前景等。

【点评】考查七选五，本文是一篇运动类阅读，要求在理解细节信息的基础上，着重考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。16．根据空前"TheInternationalFederationofPickleball,with60membercountriesandcounties,isworkingtomakesurepickleballwillbepartofthe2028OlympicGamesinLosAngeles."国际匹克球联合会有60个成员国和县，正在努力确保匹克球成为2028年洛杉矶奥运会的一部分。可知，这一段主要从整体上介绍匹克球，空处应是一个总起句，统领全文，A.Here'showthegameisplayed."以下是这个游戏的玩法"符合语境。故选A。17．根据空前"Pickleballcomesfromtennis,badmintonandtabletennis"匹克球来源于网球、羽毛球和乒乓球；以及空后"Anditusessquarepaddles(球拍)andasmallplasticballthat'ssimilarinsizetoatennisball,butmuchlighter."它使用了方形球拍和一个小塑料球，这个球的大小与网球相似，但要轻得多。可知，空处承上启下，介绍匹克球与网球、羽毛球和乒乓球之间的关系，E.It'splayedonabadminton-sizedcourtwithaslightlyloweredtennisnet."它是在羽毛球大小的球场上进行的，它的网比网球网稍微低一些"符合语境。故选E。18．根据空后"Ifnot,you'llendupwithashotthatfailstoreachthenet."否则，你的射门将无法入网，B.Sobesuretohitwithenoughforce.所以一定要用足够的力量击打"与之相呼应，符合语境。故选B。19．根据空后"Becausethegamecanvarytheintensity-goingalloutortakingaslowerpace-pickleballsuitsprofessionalathletesandbeginnersalike.It'sagreatworkoutandit'salow-influencesport,soit'seasyonplayers'joints."因为比赛的强度会有所不同，全力以赴或放慢速度的匹克球适合职业运动员和初学者。这是一项很好的锻炼，也是一项影响较小的运动，所以对球员的关节很容易。可知，这一段主要说明D.Playingpickleballcan'thaveanynegativeimpactonplayers."玩匹克球不会对球员产生任何负面影响"，故选D。20．根据空前"Peoplewhoarereallyintothesportcanjointournamentsatvariouslevels.ThefirstWorldPickleballGameswillbeheldnextsummerinAustin,Texas."真正喜欢这项运动的人可以参加各种级别的锦标赛。第一届世界匹克球运动会将于明年夏天在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行。可知，这一段在介绍匹克球的发展前景，G.By2030,pickleballisexpectedtohaveasmanyas40millionplayersworldwide."到2030年，匹克球预计将在全球拥有多达4000万名玩家"符合语境。故选G。【答案】21．B；22．B；23．A；24．D；25．C；26．A；27．B；28．D；29．D；30．A；31．D；32．C；33．D；34．D；35．C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了画画天才Alexandra的故事。这个孩子刚八岁，画画就像毕加索一样。当她出名后，很多仰慕者购买她的画，她用卖画的钱来帮助有需要的人。
