12、e make the same resolutions (决心) every year, but most of us fail, dying out after only a few days or, at best, weeks.

But they notice that the experience is different for everyone.“People are more likely to make positive changes in the

Today, Augustin weighs 190 pounds.“Of course, change can happen only if people dont set their expectations too high
17、or try to deal with too many changes at once; one of the biggest mistakes we make is setting unrealistic goals,” said Dalia Liera, a psychologist at Lesley University. “You cant accomplish in a few weeks what you havent accomplished in a few years,” said Liera.1.

The word “procrastinator” in Paragraph 4 refers to those who_.A. have great determination to make a changeB. put off work especially

According to the passage, Dalia Liera suggested that _.A. people should understand their goals wellB. people should try their best to change themselvesC. people should have confidence and positive
20、 habitsD. people should start with setting small goals to meet【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇议论文。日常生活中我们常常下决心,但是很难坚持下去,本文通过具体的事例和专家的分析说明应该怎样去做才能改变:利用社交网络,和很多人一起做,这能使自己的改变努力产生巨大的结果;起初设定小目标和小步伐才能最终通往最终的大目标。【1题详解】推理判断题。由第一段中“Even the most successful among us crash and burn when it comes to personal chan
21、ge.(当涉及到个人的改变时,即使我们中最成功的人也会失败)”可以推断出,改变对一个人来说很难,故选A项。【2题详解】词义猜测题。由第四段中“I kept putting it off until tomorrow. I didnt get to do it until the summer.(我一直把它推迟到明天。我直到夏天才开始去做这件事。)”可知,Johnny Augustin认为自己是个严重的拖延症者,故选B项。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中Dalia Liera说的话“change can happen only if people dont set their expect
22、ations too high or try to deal with too many changes at once(只有当人们设定的期望值不是太高,或不要一下子处理太多的改变的情况下,改变才会发生)”可知,他建议人们设定小目标。故选D项。【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义:运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力,充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境,从形式和内容上把握语言之间的内在联系,理顺语言之间的逻辑关系,进而达到猜词的目的。在第2小题中,考生可以根据该词所在的上下文语境来推测词义。Im a huge procrastinat
23、or, I kept putting it off until tomorrow. I didnt get to do it until the summer.由该词所在句的后面两句可知,procrastinator会“把事情推迟到明天,直到最后一刻才开始做事情”。所以改词的意思是“拖延症者”。BUK physicist Isaac Newton once said, “Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy (傻子).” Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everythi
24、ng human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out at (抨击) us.The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎, NCP) in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agency, th
25、e new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host (中间宿主).Its once believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, pr
26、esident of the US-based health organization EcoHealth Alliance, said, “This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale (规模), human population density (密度), wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病).”In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so
27、they held it in awe (敬畏). For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a part of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to
28、 change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify (改变) plants, capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of fores

30、thing that weve been given”. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, “Nature is not the place to visit. Its our home.”4. What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak?A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.B. Its impossible to prevent new pandemics glo

To describe experts predictions on new pandemics.D. To compare ancient and modern attitudes toward nature.【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A【解析】这是一
33、篇议论文。开头讲到如果人类违反自然规则,会带来自然对人类的惩罚。接着利用新型冠状病毒肺炎的爆发作为论据,阐述了违反规则带来的后果,最后引用美国诗人加里 斯奈德的说法结尾“大自然不是游览的地方,这是我们的家”。最后得出结论,我们人类要与自然和谐共处。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale (规模), human population density (密度), wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics
34、(流行病). 这次疫情的爆发给了我们一个教训。 在全球范围内,人口密度,野生动物多样性,以及土地利用的变化,是导致新的流行病的原因。结合第一段中But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel and lash out at (抨击) us.但是,如果我们违反了规则,它可能会残忍地惩罚我们。可以得出,人类应该和自然和平共处,选项D符合题意。故选 D。【5题详解】主旨大意题。根据第五段中as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try
35、 to change and even conquer nature. 随着人类掌握更多的知识,制造更先进的工具,人们试图改变甚至征服自然。和“In this process, humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance在这个过程中,人类逐渐失去与自然的联系,甚至使自然失去平衡。可知,本段大意是人类怎样打破了自然的平衡。选项C符合题意。故选 C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段Although we dont know for sure what first caused the NC
36、P outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medium said its time for people to “reflect on our relationship with our planet” and “reconnect with this world and everything that weve been given”. After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, “Nature is not the place to visit. Its our home.”(虽然我们不确定是什么首先导致了NCP的爆发,但是
37、媒体的Brian Lamacraft说,现在是时候让人们“反思我们和我们的星球的关系”,“重新联系这个世界和我们被给予的一切”。毕竟,正如美国诗人加里斯奈德所言,“大自然不是一个值得游览的地方。”这是我们的家。”)由此可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是反思NCP的爆发。故选 A。CFebruary, 2015, a South Korean woman was sleeping on the floor when her robot vacuum (吸尘器) ate her hair, forcing her to call for emergency help. It surely isnt wh

75、;C. decided决定;D. managed管理。句意:把其它的都保留没有任何意义,所以我决定把它们都剪掉。由“there was no point in keeping the others”可知,作者决定把它们都剪掉。故C选项切题。【17题详解】考查动词辨析。A. complained抱怨;B. criticized批评;C. commented评论;D. cried喊叫。句意:你在做什么,妈妈?我女儿叫到,你的指甲看起来棒极了。别剪了。女儿看到妈妈要减掉妈妈漂亮的指甲,所以很惊讶于是喊着问到,妈妈在做什么。故D选项切题。【18题详解】考查动词辨析。A. ruined破坏;B. bro
76、ken打断;C. disturbed 打扰;D. weakened变弱。句意:但是它们都被一个指甲给毁了,我边说,边在她面前挥动着这个坏的指甲。由前文“I broke a nail(指甲)”可知,作者想把她的坏了的指甲展示给女儿看,以此来说明它们都不完美了。以此故A选项切题。【19题详解】考查副词辨析。A. even甚至;B. still仍然;C. just仅仅;D. ever从来。句意:他们没有,她说。你还有九个指甲啊。still用作副词时强调动作或状态仍在继续。故B选项切题。【20题详解】考查动词辨析。A. agreed同意;B. admitted承认;C. refused拒绝;D. he
77、sitated犹豫。句意:我犹豫了。由下文可知,作者对自己这种追求完美的行为进行了思考,所以当女儿说完“你还有九个指甲啊”,作者对自己要剪指甲的行为犹豫了。故D选项切题。【21题详解】考查名词辨析。A. opposite对立面;B. concept概念;C. misunderstanding误解;D. comparison对比。句意:我的指甲肯定不再完美了,“完美”的反义词是“灾难”对吧?。由“perfect和disaster”可知,在作者心里,这两个词是相反的两个词。故A选项切题。【22题详解】考查动词短语辨析。A. talking about讨论;B. worrying about担忧;C
78、. thinking about考虑;D. setting about着手处理。句意:我一直在思考我为什么要这样做,但我不知道是什么导致了这种行为。由前文可知,作者犹豫了,所以一定是在思考她为什么要这样做。故C选项切题。【23题详解】考查名词辨析。A. mistake错误;B. behavior行为;C. condition条件;D. character特性。句意:我一直在思考我为什么要这样做,但我不知道是什么导致了这种行为。前文“ act this way”指的就是behavior。故B选项切题。【24题详解】考查动词辨析。A. rejects拒绝;B. abandons放弃;C. comp
79、ares对比;D. sees看见。句意:我的大脑只看到“完美”或“灾难”。根据常识可以判断出,当对事情追求完美时,“完美”或“灾难”就会呈现在人的大脑里。所以只看到的是“完美”或“灾难”。故D选项切题。【25题详解】考查形容词辨析。A. complex复杂的;B. elegant优雅的;C. cautious谨慎的;D. aggressive攻击性的。句意:然而,我们人类绝不只是好或坏那么简单我们要复杂得多。由“However, we humans are never just good or bad”可知,然而,我们人类绝不只是好的或坏那么简单,所以人类是复杂的。故A选项切题。【26题详解】

90、意:但在第一次品尝这种泡的茶之后,探险者们很快意识到它的潜在市场上,并决定专注于出口茶叶。分析句子结构, 所填词在句中作主语,应是名词;此处意思为“探险者”,应为名词explorer,并且用复数形式表示泛指。故填explorers。【39题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:从广州港,葡萄牙人把加工过的茶叶通过印度尼西亚运到非洲南端,然后再运回西欧。此处process和leaves之间是逻辑上的被动关系,应用过去分词作定语。故填processed。40题详解】考查形容词。句意:从广州港,葡萄牙人把加工过的茶叶通过印度尼西亚运到非洲南端,然后再运回西欧。此处修饰Europe,应用形容词。形容词weste

93、斯茶。分析句子结构,“_the Chinese “cha” turned into the Persian “chay”是定语从句,先行词是Persia,在从句中作地点状语,应用where引导定语从句。故填where。【45题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意: 根据印度地区的不同,大多数印度方言使用词根cha的某些变体 来描述茶。根据句意,此处是不定式作目的状语。故填to describe。【点睛】“with+宾语+过去分词”结构 “with的复合结构”中,如果宾语和宾语补足语之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,用过去分词作宾语补足语,在句子中可以作定语或状语。 With his hair cut, he lo
