48、.【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，由作者自己的减肥经历引出了现在人们保持健康的方式禁食（“每周型”和“每日型”），并指出研究发现在长年的禁食后，人类患上顽疾的可能性会降低。【24题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“But after a week or so of recording every meal and snack and calculating the calories, I had had enough.”可知，作者记录下吃过的每顿正餐和快餐，并计算出它们的热量，但坚持这么做一个星期左右她就受不了了，这句话与第一段中的“A
49、nd I felt annoyed.”相呼应，也就是必须计算出每餐和零食中的卡路里让作者感到气恼，故D项正确。【25题详解】词义猜测题。上文作者说自己曾通过控制摄入食物的热量来减肥，她后来坚持不下去了，根据画线词词前的“I went back to my routine of”可知，画线词所在句子表达的是“我又回归了过去的生活方式想吃什么就吃什么，跑跑步，滑滑雪”，由此可知画线词词义为“吃”，故A项正确。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“The ways to keep fit vary: on the 5:2 diet a person eats for five days and f
50、asts for two days each week, while the 18:6 refers 10 fasting for 18 hours and then eating within a six-hour window each day.”可知，现在人们保持健康的方法是禁食，禁食的方法分为“每周型”和“每日型”在5:2（每周型）的饮食中，一个人每周吃五天，禁食两天：而在18:6（每日型）的饮食中，禁食18小时，然后每天在6小时内进食。故C项正确。【27题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“after years of eating less, and in the lab in h
51、umans, they saw improvements in a number of signs that indicate risk of some hard to cure diseases.”可知，研究人员发现在长年的少量进食后，人类患上顽疾的可能性会降低，故B项正确。【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，理解画线词上下文语境是关键，例如本篇第2题，上文作者说自己曾通过控制摄入食物的热量来减肥，她后来坚持不下去了，根据画线词前的“I went back to my routine of”，再结合画线词后的“and let that be that.”可知，我又回到了以前想吃什么就吃什么的生活方
52、式，随它去吧，由此可知画线词词义为“吃”。CThere s a word of wellness Ive loved for years. Its HALT: the idea that if you want to be calm and content, never let yourself get too hungry, angry, lonely or tired.

56、rtened to read that recently the British Parliament (议会) has created a “Minister for Loneliness” position to promote research, education and principles so as to cure what some researchers call “the loneliness disease”. More and more doctors in America are also screening adult patients for loneliness
57、 at annual physical examinations, which is another promising sign.With proper social support and community participation, loneliness can be prevented from happening. If you are feeling lonely, make a list of your daily routines and ask yourself how you could add more social interactions to each day.
58、 Try reaching out for volunteer opportunities, clubs and organizations to join and old friendships to renew.

61、ess【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了孤独症的表现形式、造成的原因以及应对方法等。【28题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句“Loneliness is a problem with many faces.”可知，孤独症是一个很多人都面临的问题，孤独症有很多类型，下文就介绍了两个示例，由此可知，本段主要讲的是孤独症的不同类型，故C项正确。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“And in our age of individualized electronic devices, social media and text
62、-based communication, it can be harder than ever to feel truly connected to others.”可知，在这个个性化电子设备、社交媒体和基于文本的交流的时代，想要真正与他人建立联系比以往任何时候都要困难，由此可知，作者认为数字设备的普及使人们感到孤独，故D项正确。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“With proper social support and community participation, loneliness can be prevented from happening.”可知，作者认为适当的
63、社会支持和社区参与可以避免孤独症，也就是说作者认为孤独症是可以避免的，故A项正确。【31题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了孤独症的表现形式、造成的原因以及如何应对孤独症等，B项（对抗孤独症）涵盖了全文内容，故B项正确。【点睛】主旨大意题的难度较大，被选选项一定要准确地概括出全文内容，切不可以偏概全，例如本篇第4题，通读全文可知，本文先是介绍了孤独症的表现形式、然后分析了形成原因，最后又提出了如何应对孤独症，B项（对抗孤独症）涵盖了全文内容，A项（建立亲密关系）偏离主题，C（孤独症的风险）、D项（避免孤独症的方法）是文章的一个方面，不足以概括全文内容。DBabies made fr

118、if we want to, as long as we view everything in _9_ positive way.通过分析可知，小题9符合第（2）条规律：_+形容词+可数名词(单数)，因此答案为a。第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)71.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（）,并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词的下面写出修
