【点评】考查完形填空。做题时，首先要快速阅读全文，了解文章大意，再去带着选项去读，边读边做，注意联系上下文。1．句意：是的，我们生活在信息时代，但我毫不羞耻地说我不能放弃报纸。shame羞耻；interest兴趣；trouble麻烦；confidence信心。句中提到作者不放弃报纸，并使用了"haveno"这个短语，表明应该填入一个表示负面情感的词，"shame"符合这个语境。故选A。2．句意：我使用报纸来教育我的孩子。train训练；raise抚养；advise建议；please取悦。根据后文，作者用报纸来教育孩子，所以"raise"在这里不仅指抚养，也包含了教育的意义。故选B3．句意：在我大儿子十几岁的时候，无论我说什么或怎么说他都不会听我的。playwith和…玩耍；lookat看；listento听；thinkabout思考。这里描述的是孩子不听父母的话，所以应该选择"listento"。故选C。4．句意："如果你不相信我，就看看报纸吧，"我会说。If如果；For因为；Because因为；Although尽管这里是一个条件状语从句，表示如果孩子不相信，就可以通过阅读报纸来验证，所以应该选择"If"。故选A。5．句意：我为我的孩子们收集任何带有生活教训的好故事。used使用；made制作；saved保存；corrected纠正。作者在这里指的是保存好故事，以便教育孩子，所以应该选择"saved"。故选C。6．句意：我通过白纸黑字来表达我的观点。plans计划；points观点；excuses借口；decisions决定。作者通过文字来表达自己的观点，所以应该选择"points"。故选B。7．句意：印刷的文字就像魔法一样起作用。gifts礼物；games游戏；magic魔法；medicine药物。这里形容文字的效果，就像魔法一样立刻见效，所以应该选择"magic"。故选C。8．句意：立刻，就没有了更多的不同意或分歧。pains痛苦；fights争吵；regrets遗憾；differences差异。根据上下文，这里指的是没有了争吵，所以应该选择"fights"。故选B。9．句意：句意：阅读报纸在许多不同领域开阔了我孩子们的眼界。valuable有价值的；possible可能的；important重要的；different不同的。这里指的是孩子在不同的领域获得了知识，所以应该选择"different"。故选D。10．句意：我惊讶于我的孩子们在这么小的年纪就能理解非常复杂的问题。calm平静的；amazed惊讶的；confident自信的；interested感兴趣的。作者对孩子能够理解复杂问题感到惊讶，所以应该选择"amazed"。故选B。11．句意：他们每天都能在报纸上找到关于许多不同主题的可靠故事。making制造；reporting报道；explaining解释；covering涵盖。这里指的是报纸涵盖了多个主题，所以应该选择"covering"。故选D。12．句意：然而，她总是喜欢阅读报纸，并且每天都能学到很多东西。Luckily幸运地；Suddenly突然；Certainly当然；However然而。这里表示转折，尽管她没有完成小学教育，但仍然喜欢阅读报纸，所以应该选择"However"。故选D。13．句意："你是怎么知道这些的？"我有时会问她。How怎么；Why为什么；When什么时候；Where在哪里。这里是在询问阿姨是如何获取信息的，所以应该选择"How"。故选A。14．句意：我会问她什么时候会向我抛出一个最新的科学发现。best最好的；latest最新的；oldest最老的；fastest最快的。根据上下文，阿姨向作者提到的是一个新近的科学发现，所以应该选择"latest"来表示最新。故选B。15．句意：我们生活在信息时代，但我相信报纸仍然在教育各个年龄段的人方面发挥着重要作用。even甚至；just仅仅；still仍然；already已经。作者在这里强调的是，尽管现在是信息时代，报纸仍然在教育人们方面发挥着重要作用，所以应该选择"still"来表示持续性。故选C。【答案】16．D17．D【解析】【分析】本文是一则课程广告，介绍了LittlePumpkin提供的3天免费语言学习课程，强调其能帮助培养孩子对语言学习的热爱，并提供了付费选项和联系方式。

【点评】考查阅读理解。做题时要在理解好文意的基础上，与题目有机的结合，从文章中找到相关细节性的句子与选项仔细对比，进行选择或推理判断，选出符合文章内容的正确选项。做题时注意灵活，有时可采用排除法或直接法确定最终答案。16．细节理解题。文中提到"帮助培养孩子们对语言学习的热爱"，说明LittlePumpkin的目的是激发孩子们学习语言的兴趣。故选D。17．推理判断题。文章中提到了"免费试用3天课程"、"每月支付5美元或每年支付50美元"以及"随时取消"等信息，这些都是典型的广告用语，旨在吸引顾客购买产品或服务。故选D。【答案】18．B19．B20．D21．C【解析】【分析】本文讲述了KFC计划推出不含鸡肉的实验室培育鸡块，以减少环境影响并避免伤害动物。

【点评】考查阅读理解。首先要通读全文，了解文章大意，紧紧抓住上下文语境所提供的信息，然后明确词意，结合排除法逐一选出正确答案，最后再通读全文，核对答案。18．推理判断题。文章开篇提出两个问题，目的是为了引起读者的兴趣，让他们继续阅读下去。故选B。19．细节理解题。根据文章第三、四段，我们可以得知实验室生产的鸡块有两个主要优势：对环境更好和不需要伤害动物。文中并没有提到三个或四个优势，所以A选项一个优势"和C选项三个优势"以及D选项四个优势"都不正确。故选B。20．细节理解题。从文章最后一段可以得知，KFC计划首先在俄罗斯测试其实验室培育的鸡块，但并没有提到测试已经完成，所以A选项KFC已经测试了其实验室培育的鸡块"不正确；B选项实验室培育的鸡块味道不那么美味"和C选项实验室培育的鸡块对人体健康有害"在文中都没有提及；根据第四段的内容，动物爱好者可能会支持这个项目，因为它不需要伤害动物。故选D。21．主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了KFC计划推出一种不含鸡肉的鸡块，这是文章的核心内容。A选项"创意KFC"虽然与文章内容相关，但不够具体；B选项"快餐公司"过于宽泛，不具体指向KFC；D选项"环保项目"虽然是文章讨论的一个方面，但不是文章的主要内容。故选C。【答案】22．A23．A24．A25．B【解析】【分析】本文主要讲述了为了提高居住质量和环境，阿姆斯特丹等城市正在考虑实施汽车禁令，鼓励使用电动车或放弃驾驶，并探讨如何帮助市民接受这些变化。

【点评】考查阅读理解。首先要通读全文，掌握中心大意，其次读懂每个小题的要求，带着关键信息在文中找到相关语句，仔细判断后确定问题答案，最后在复查审核。22．段落大意题。根据"Amsterdamhassetagoodexample…Theyhavealsobeenthinkingaboutcarbans."可知，第二段主要讲述了阿姆斯特丹作为一个好榜样，将从2030年开始禁止驾驶汽油车，并鼓励使用电动车或完全放弃驾驶，其他城市也在考虑实施汽车禁令。故选A。23．细节理解题。根据"Trafficjamswastelotsoffuelandtimeeachyear…Itisalsobadforpeople'shealth."可知，第三段空缺处前后的内容都在讲述汽油车的缺点，即交通堵塞、浪费燃料、减缓经济增长、污染导致气候变化和健康问题。故选A。24．细节理解题。根据"Perhapscitiescanhelpmakethischangeeasier…Citiescanbemoreopentonewwaysofgettingaround,suchasbike-sharing."可知，作者建议城市通过改善公共交通和引入自行车共享等新的出行方式来帮助人们接受汽车禁令。故选A。25．细节理解题。根据"Butlet'sthinkseriouslyaboutourhealthandfutureandthoseofourplanet.Makingourcitiesmorelivablehastobecomeanurgentgoal."可知，作者通过这篇文章主要是想要建议城市考虑更多有益的汽车禁令，以改善居住环境和未来。故选B。【答案】26．Twomonths.27．Dolotsofhomework.28．Tothebeaches.29．Argentina.30．thelongest【解析】【分析】本文讲述了不同国家暑假的时长和活动，强调了暑假时间的差异和文化特色。
