PalaceDinosaurs,thefirsteverlife-sizesculpturesofdinosaursandotherextinct

（灭绝的）creatures."（这次旅行最不同寻常的景观是水晶宫恐龙，这是第一批与实际动物

大小一样的恐龙和其他灭绝生物的雕塑）可知，人们在这次旅行中会看到恐龙雕塑。故选C。

【2题详解】

细节理解题。根据文中第三段句子“ItstartsandfinishesatEalingBroadwayw（它开

始于并结束于EalingBroadwa/）可知，本次旅行开始与结束都在同一个地方。故选A。

【3题详解】

细节理解题。根据文中内容，四个徒步旅行中都提到了去博物馆，如：第一段中“iheSouih

KensingtonMuseums.,第二段中"theHornimanMuseum”,第三段中**KewBridgeSteam

览博物馆。故选Bo

【答案】4.B5.A6.B7.D

【解析】

本文是说明文。文章介绍了一项研究，结果表明对于那些能忍受的人来说，不吃早餐锻炼可

能对健康更有益。

【4题详解】

词句猜测题。根据下文workingoutbeforebreakfastmaybemorebeneficialforhealth

thaneatingfirst可知，早餐前锻炼可能比先吃饭再锻炼对健康更有益，因此推断这里说的

是那些不吃早饭先锻炼的人，因此推断划线词与B项“不吃早饭能应付”意思相近。故选B。

【5题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段的Theyfirstfound10overweightandinactivebutotherwise

healthyyoungmen,whoselifestylesarcfarbettorandworse,representativeofthose

ofmostofus.可知，他们首先找到了10个超重的，不活跃但迩康的年轻人，他们的生活方

式可以说更好，也可以说更糟，代表了我们大多数人。因此可知，实验时选择的10个人的生

活方式代表了普通人。故选A。

【6题详解】

细节理解题。根据第六段的Asaresult,theyburnedmorefatduringwalksonanempty

stomachthanwhentheyhadeatenfirst.Ontheotherhand,theyburnedslightlymore

calories（卡路里），onaverage,duringtheworkoutafterbreakfastthanafterfasting.

可知，结果，他们空腹散步时燃烧的脂肪比他们首先吃东西时所燃烧的脂肪要多。另一方面。

平均而言，他们在早餐后锻炼时燃烧的k路里略多于禁食后。因此可知，锻炼前吃早饭消耗

更多一点的热量。故选B。

【7题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段Theimplicationoftheseresultsisthattogainthegreatest

healthbenefitsfromexercise,itmaybewisetoskipeatingfirst.可知，这些结果

的暗示，为了从运动中获得最大的健康益处，先不吃东西可能更明智。因此推断早饭前的体

育锻炼对健康更有益。故选九

yourfees.Andjustgivemewhateverisleft."Theboysweresurprised,andvery

【答案】12.C13.D14.B15.D

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要为我们介绍了在不同的文化环境下人们对于礼貌的看法是不同

的，即礼貌取决于我们所处的文化。文章用了很多具体的事例讲述了这种不同之处。

【12题详解】

推理判断题。根据文章第一段"AlthoughthisphraseisnotverycommoninEnglandany

more,itclearlyshowshowwodon'talwayssaywhatwemean.（虽然这个短语在英国

已经不常见了，但它清楚地表明我们并不总是表达我们的意思）”可以推断，英国人所说的和

他们所想的不一样。故选C。

【13题详解】

细节理解题。根据文章第二段“TheBritisharcoftenconsideredtobepolitebutthis

canbeveryconfusingfornon-nativespeakers.（英国人通常被认为是有礼貌的，但这

对于非英语国家的人来说可能会很困惑。）”可知，其他文化背景的人对于英国人的礼貌是很

难理解的。故选D。

【14题详解】

词义猜测题。根据文章第四段划线句前句"WhenIlivedinIndia,lotsofpeoplewould

invitemeintotheirhomesbutIalwaysassumedthattheywerejustbeingpolite.

Ofcourse,Iwaswrong.（我在印度生活的时候，很多人会邀请我去他们家，但我总是认为

他们只是出于礼貌。当然，我错了。）”可知，在印度这些邀请几乎都是真实的。从而猜测

genuine为“真实的”之意。故选B。

【15题详解】

推理判断题。文章主要为我们介绍了在不同的文化环境下人们对于礼貌的看法是不同的，即

礼貌取决于我们所处的文化。可知，本文的目的是建议人们从文化上理解礼貌。故选D。

【答案】16.E17.A18.B19.C20.F

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了园艺给我们带来的好处，它能使人身心健康，有健康的饮

食，并且可以通过园艺增加社会互动的机会。至于园艺是否单方可以达到这些效果，还需调

查研究。

【16题详解】

根据后文Morethanhalftheplanet'spopulationnowliveincities,with1imited

accesstothenaturalworld.可知，地球上超过一半的人都生活在城市里，接触自然世界

的机会有限。E.Yetcontactwithnaturehasvarietiesofoenefitsforbothphysical

andmentalhealth.然而，与大自然接触对身心健康都有各种好处。符合文意，前后句构成

明显的转折关系，故选E项。

【17题详解】

根据后文Homeandgardenshavelongbeenimportantforfamilyfoodproduction,but

gardeningcanalsoencouragepeopletoeatmorehealthilyandactasaneducational

resourceonnutritiousfood.可知，长期以来，家庭和花园对家庭食品生产一直很重要，

但园艺也可以鼓励人们吃得更健康，并作为营养食品方面的教育资源。A.Gardeningisalso

linkedtobetterdiets.园艺也与更好的饮食联系在一起。符合文意，后文是选项的具体说

明一一园艺和饮食的关系，故选A项。

【18题详解】

根据后文Researchhasshownthatgardenersgenerallyhavegreaterlifesatisfaction,

raisedself-esteemandfewerfeelingsofdepressionandangerthannon-gardeners.

可知，研究表明，与非园丁相比，园丁通常有更高的生活满意度、更高的自尊和更少的抑郁

和愤怒感。B.Butmorethanthis,itcanpromotepeople*smentalhealth.但更重要

的是，它可以促进人们的心理健康。符合文意，前后两部分话题一致，都讲述园艺有益于人

的心理健康，故选B项。

【19题详解】

根据前文ThislastpoinisuggestsThatthemenialbenefitsofgardeningmaybemore

thanjustasidc-cffcctofthephysicalexorciseinvolved.可知，最后一点表明，H

艺的精神益处可能不仅仅是体育锻炼带来的作用。C.Onopossiblereasonisthatgardening

caninvolvesocialinteraction.—•个可能的原因是园艺可能涉及到社会互动。符合文意，

前后两部分都讲述了园艺对人的好处，且构成了明显的递进关系，故选C项。

【20题详解】

根据后文Wealsoneedtodirectlyexaminetheimmediateeffectsofgardeningonpeople

whohaveneverpreviouslytakenpartoraresufferingfrommentalandphysicalill

health.可知，我们还需要直接检查园艺对从未参加过或身体健康不佳的人的直接影响。F.

Thismeansgardeningaloneisnotnecessarilyadirectcauseofanyimprovementsin

health.这意味着单靠园艺并不一定是改善健康状况的直接原因。符合文意，前后部分构成明

显的因果关系一一因为园艺不一定可以改善健康，所以需要进一步的研究和观察，故选F项。

第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）

第一节（共20小题：每小题L5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、

C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
