答案精析第二部分阅读理解第一节A语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了演员LeslieNielsen通过自己不懈的努力和坚定的信念，成就了自己的演艺之路。21．C解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“TheadmirationandrespecthisuncleearnedinspiredNielsentomakeacareer(职业)inacting.”可知，叔叔所赢得的钦佩和尊重激励了Nielsen发展演艺事业，由此可知，Nielsen想成为像叔叔一样的人。故选C项。22．D解析推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“thesecondhalfofhiscareerwherehiscomedicpresencealonecouldmakeamovieafinancialsuccess”可知，在他职业生涯的后半段，仅凭他的喜剧表演就可以使这一电影获得经济上的成功。由此可推断，在他的职业生涯的后半段，他成了一名成功的喜剧演员。故选D项。23．D解析推理判断题。通读全文，尤其根据文章最后一段可知，通过自己不懈的努力和坚定的信念，Nielsen的演艺事业获得了成功。这正应了那句话“有志者，事竟成”，故选D项。B语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了电影制作人DavidBond看到许多孩子们沉迷于电子产品，于是他通过影片，鼓励孩子们走进大自然。24．D解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“However，whatmychildren...pickupascreen—anyscreen—andstareatitforhours.”可知，作者的孩子长时间看电子产品(屏幕)，这引起了作者的担忧，故选D项。25．A解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Herealisedthatsomethingneededtochange...Hedocumentedhisjourney...TheresultwasProjectWildThing...”可知，为了改变孩子们长时间看电子产品的现状，DavidBond利用自身的职业优势，制作了纪录片ProjectWildThing，故选A项。26．A解析词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“Hedocumentedhisjourney...”和“afilmwhichchartsthebirthoftheWildNetwork,agroupoforganisations”可知，《野生动物计划》是一部纪录片，这部纪录片记录了WildNetwork的诞生，chart此处意为“记录，跟踪”，意思同record，故选A项。27．C解析标题归纳题。文章开头由作者的亲身案例引出社会现状：孩子们沉迷于电子产品。DavidBond为了让孩子们减少使用电子产品的时间，通过制作纪录片向孩子们推销大自然这个品牌，鼓励他们走进大自然，故C项“向孩子们推销自然”能较好地概括全文，适合作文章标题。C语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个新的研究发现：狗能够辨别人类开心或生气的面部表情。28．B解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Dogsmayindeedbeabletodistinguishbetweenhappyandangryhumanfaces，accordingtoanewstudy.”可知，这项新的研究关注的是狗是否能够辨别人类开心和生气的面部表情，故选B项。29．C解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Duringthetrainingstage...byshowingthemtheotherhalfoftheperson’sfaceorimagestotallydifferentfromtheonesusedintraining.”可知，在研究的训练和测试阶段所使用的照片是不同的，故选C项。30．B解析段落大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“Tous，themostlikelyexplanationappearstobethat...todistinguishbetweenthem”可知，该段主要分析了狗能够辨别人类表情的可能原因，故选B项。第二节语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了PauloMagalhaes创建社交网站，让世界各地的人们能够在网上分享和交换明信片的故事。31．G解析根据上文可知，Paulo喜欢打开邮筒，收到一张色彩鲜艳的罗马斗兽场的图片，或者是非洲维多利亚瀑布的图片，或者是中国长城的图片，由此可知，G项“总而言之，他喜欢明信片，以及收到远方某人手写的便条时的那种兴奋感”符合语境。G项中的“loves”“postcards”分别与上文中的“loves”及下文中的“postcards”相对应。32．A解析根据上文可知，Paulo经常给朋友和家人邮寄明信片，一段时间之后，他发现收到的明信片并没有发出的多，他也意识到并不是每个人都喜欢明信片。再结合下文中的“Seekingotherlike­mindedsouls，however...online.”可知，Paulo开始在网上寻找其他志同道合的人，由此可知，Paulo对并不是每个人都喜欢寄明信片的情况表示理解，故选A项“那完全没问题”。33．E解析根据上文中的“asocialnetworkthathasgrownto575,217registeredusersin214countries...10yearsago”可知，此处主要讲的是Paulo所创建的社交网站的发展及其成果，故E项符合语境。选项中的“members”与前文的“users”为同义复现。34．F解析本段主题句为“语言无疑是许多人的障碍”。空前句提到“当收到一张用中文写的明信片时可能很酷，但如果你不理解它，这个理念就行不通”。选项F“同样地，如果你只会说中文，收到瑞典语的卡片也会缺少一部分乐趣”承接上文，同样在描述语言障碍问题，且与本段主题相呼应，故选F。35．B解析根据上文中的“ManypeopleinChinahavelimitedexposuretoEnglish.”可知，在中国，很多人很少接触英语，选项B“这使得学习和练习它变得格外困难”与之在逻辑上形成因果关系，故B项符合语境。第三部分语言运用第一节语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文。有一次，作者年事已高的母亲去商店购物时，由于自己带的现金不足以支付所有的商品，于是不得不把一些商品放回原处。这时，一位素昧平生的女士帮作者的母亲付了款。这让作者的母亲深受感动，于是她决定把这个善举传递下去。她给了收银员5美元，希望这个钱可以帮到像她一样的顾客。36．D解析根据下文“shelikestogotoanearbystore”可知，作者每星期都会带母亲去购物。37．C解析根据文章首句“Mymotheris92.”可知，作者的母亲年事已高，作者会陪着母亲去购物、去看医生。company陪伴。38．D解析根据常识和语境可知，作者的母亲去附近的商店购买需要的东西。39．A解析根据下文的“Theonlytopayforthegrocerieswastotakeofftheshecoulddowithout...”可知，作者的母亲在结账的时候发现自己少大概3美元。short短缺的。40．B解析根据语境和逻辑可知，作者的母亲在结账的时候发现自己少大概3美元，唯一的办法就是把一些本可以不买的东西拿出去。41．B解析根据下文中的“abottleofrubbingalcohol(医用酒精)andabarofsoap”可知，是一些东西。42．C解析根据语境可知，把本可以不买的东西拿走之后，她就可以使新的账单降到她能够负担得起的范围了。bringthetotalto...使总数变成……。43．C解析根据上文中的“whenshewenttopayforhergroceries”可知，她去了收银台，故此处表示人们结账离开。showup露面，露出；callin召来；checkout结账离开；sitdown坐下。44．D解析根据常识可知，人们结账以后会去一边把自己购买的商品装袋。bag把……装进袋子。45．A解析根据下文中的“Sheforthewoman’snameandaddress”可知，作者的母亲与这位女士互不相识，所以是陌生人。46．D解析根据语境和上文中的“takeofftheshecoulddowithout”可知，这位女士帮作者的母亲把她放回去的东西结了账。lookfor寻找；talkabout谈论；throwaway扔掉，丢弃；putback将……放回原处。47．B解析根据上文中的“abottleofrubbingalcohol(医用酒精)andabarofsoap”可知，这位女士帮作者的母亲把医用酒精和肥皂都结了账。48．A解析根据常识可知，一位陌生人帮作者的母亲结了账，作者的母亲肯定会询问对方的姓名和地址，以便把钱还给对方。49．A解析参见上题解析。repay偿还，报答。50．C解析根据下文可知，这位女士说不需要作者的母亲还钱，这算是送给作者的母亲的一份礼物。51．C解析根据常识可知，对于陌生女士的慷慨举动，作者的母亲深受感动。52．A解析根据语境可知，受到陌生女士的启发，作者的母亲决定在收银台放5美元，以防别人也遇到类似的情况。incase以防万一。53．B解析根据语境和上文中的“shewasaboutthreedollars”可知，作者的母亲想要帮到像她一样没有带够钱买他们所选食品杂货的人。54．C解析根据语境可知，陌生女士的行为是一种善良的行为，故此处表示善举。55．A解析根据语境可知，陌生女士的善举不仅帮到了作者的母亲，也让她这一天感到非常开心。makeone’sday使某人很开心；changeone’smind改变主意，改变想法；catchone’seye引起某人的注意；meetone’sdemand满足某人的需求。第二节eq\x(语篇解读本文主要讲述了林肯故居初建时的概况及之后的发展过程。)56．hasproved/hasproven解析考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处在本句中作谓语，结合空后的时间状语从句sinceitopenedtothepublic可知，本句时态需要用现在完成时；prove在此处为系动词，不用被动语态；主语Lincoln’shome为第三人称单数，所以空处应该填hasproved/hasproven。57．for解析考查介词。此处表示“他们以1200美元的价格买下了这座房子”，故空处填介词for。58．marriage解析考查名词。此处考查常用表达marriageceremony，意为“结婚典礼”，所以空处需要填marriage。59．smaller解析考查形容词的比较级。根据空后面的than可知，空处需要用形容词的比较级，且空前的much亦可修饰比较级，所以空处应该填smaller。60．waspainted解析考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处在本句中作谓语，结合语境可知，此处是林肯夫人的外甥女的回忆，时态需要
