答案

语篇解读

本文为说明文，主题语境是人与自我，主题语境内容是学校生活。作者主要就如何利用好

高校开课前的一周时间去熟识自己的高校生活提出了几个建议。

1.A解题指导细微环节理解题。依据题干中的“ByparticipatingincampuswcIcome

activitiesM将答案区域锁定在小标题为aParticipatinginCampusWelcomeActivities^

的段落中。

解析本题题干意为:通过参与校内欢迎活动，新生能够o依据“Participatingin

CampusWelcomeActivities”中其次段的第一句aParticipatinginsucheventsisagreat

waytolearnaboutschoolfacilitiesandunderstandcampusculture”可知，通过参

与校内欢迎活动,新生能够了解高校校内文化。

2.B解题指导细微环节理解题。依据题十中的“haveaquicktestrunbetweenbuiIcings?，

将答案区域锁定在小标题为“ExploringCampus"的段落中。

解析本题题干意为:为什么建议新生在楼之间进行快跑测试?依据“ExploringCampus”中

的最终两句"Ifyoureworriedabouttakingclassesoneafteranotherindifferent

buildings,aquicktestrunwonthurt.Thatway,youwillavoidpotentialtime

3

delaysingettingtoyourclasses.”可知，建议新生在楼之间进行快跑测试，可以避开去

上课时有可能的时间延误:即为了避开将来上课时迟到。

3.D解题指导细微环下理解题。依据题干中的“tostartgettingusedtothenew

routine”将答案区域锁定在小标题为"StartingaRoutine”的段落中。

解析本题题干意为:新生什么时候起先适应新的日常生活最好?依据“Starting"Routine”

中的第一段其次句"Startingclassesmeansbeingindifferentplacesatdifferent

times,soitsagreatideatostartgettingusedtothatroutinerightthisweek.v

可知，新生在起先上课前的这一周起先适应新的日常生活最好，即theorientationweek”迎

新周”。

4.D解题指导细微环节理解题。依据题干中的"tostayfocusedinclass”将答案区

域锁定在小标题为“StartingaRoutine"的段落中。

解析本题题干意为:作者建议新生做什么来保持在课堂上留意力集中？依据“Startinga

Routine”中的其次段“Whathelpsyoumostistoscheduleyoursleep.Pollowingthe

plannedtimewillensureyouhaveenoughsleeptogettothoseearlyclassesand

staywideawake."可知:对你最有帮助的是支配睡眠时间。依据支配的时间去睡觉将确保

你有足够的睡眠，并且保持醒悟,在课堂上做到留意力集中。即建议坚持睡眠支配。

解题技巧题干中的“stayfocusedinclassM与文中"gettothoseearlyclassesand

staywideawake”相呼应。

5.A解题指导主旨大意题。依据题干和语篇结构特征可将答案区域锁定在文章第•段。

解析本题题干意为:作者写这篇文章的目的是什么？依据第一段中的最终一句"Beloware

seveialtipstueaseyuuiselfintocollegelife.可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是就

如何利用好高校开课前的一周时间去熟识自己的高校生活提出了几个建议，即就轻松起先高

校生活供应一些建议。

语篇学问从今篇文章的篇章结构和苜段的最终两句话可知,这篇文章意在就高校新生如何

能更快、更好地适应高校生活提出一些建议。通常状况下，这种结构的说明文第一段会干脆

4

点出文章的主旨，然后分若干个有小标题的、并列的部分进行阐述。假如第一段最终一句话

中有表示转折的词或特殊的标点符号，如冒号或破折号,则更须要引起留意。

难句分析

原句：Slarlingclassesrrieansbeingindifferentplacesatdifferenttimes,soits

agreatideatostartgettingusedtothatroutinerightthisweek.

分析:这是一个并列句。并列连词so连接两个逻辑上为因果关系的分句。第一个分句是一个

主谓宾结构的句子，动名词短语Startingclasses和beingindifferentplacesat

differenttimes分别作这一分句的主语和宾语。

译文:起先上课意味着在不同的时间去不同的地方,所以这周起先习惯那个惯例是个好办法。

答案

语篇解读

本文为应用文，主题语境是人与自我，主题语境内容是职场准备。文章主要介绍了如何申

请在联合国教科文组织实习。

1.C解题指导细微环节理解题。依据题干中“applicanlsarerequiredlo”将目标信

息定位在小标题为"Whataretherequirements?的段落中。

解析本题题干意为:依据这篇文章，申请者被要求。依据“Whatarethe

requirements?”部分中的其次点可知，申请者应当精通英语或法语。文中haveagood

commandofeitherEnglishorFrench意思与befluentineitherEnglishorFrench

相同。A选项偷换概念,E、D两项无中生有。

2.A解题指导细微环节理解题。依据题干中“theinternshipperiod”将目标信息定位

在小标题为"Whatdoyouneedtoprepare?w的段落中。

解析本题题干意为:联合国教科文组织将为实习期供应什么？依据“Whatdoyouneedto

prepare?"部分中的第三点可知，联合国教科文组织将供应有限的健康保险。文中信息与A

选项表述•样。

7

3.C解题指导细微环节理解题。依据题干中“beforefi11ingouttheapplicationform”

将目标信息定位在小标题为“Whaldoyouneedtoprepare?M的段落中。

解析本题题干意为：申请者在填写申请表之前应当做什么？依据“Whatdoyouneedto

prepare?”部分中的第五点可知，申请者应当提前准备好动机信。其中haveyourmotivation

letterready与C选项Keepamotivationletterathand.意思相吻合。

深度解析本文是篇应用文。这三个问题重点考查了学生利用题干中的重要信息去文中快速、

精确进行信息定位的实力，同时,命题人对选项的设计特别奇妙,正确选项通常是文中相应信

息的另一种表述,也通过“无中生有”“偷换概念”等方式设计了不少干扰项,这也考查了学

生信息甄别的实力。
