6、enthusiasm，we can keep on learning.Then we will know how important it is to have meaning in our life.However，we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our own little egos(自我)，whether to loved ones，to fellow humans，to work，or to some moral concept.Many of us eq
7、uate(视等同于) “commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing.But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment.People who work toward such excellencewhether they are driving a truck，or running a storemake the world better just by being the kind of p
8、eople they are.Theyve learned lifes most valuable lesson.语篇解读本文从西班牙文学巨匠塞万提斯讲起，告诉我们不论身处哪个年龄阶段，只要有目标，并且愿意学习，就可能取得成功。51.The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that .A.loss of freedom stimulates ones creativityB.age is not a barrier to achieving ones goalC.misery inspires a man to fight
9、against his fateD.disability cannot stop a mans pursuit of success答案B解析推理判断题。根据第一、二段内容可知，塞万提斯成年后生活坎坷，但他决心写一本书，结果这本书畅销了350多年，有些人直到生命的最后时刻都在发现新的活力和创意。由此可推知，作者以塞万提斯的故事开头是为了告诉我们年龄不是实现目标的障碍。52.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.End ones struggle for liberty.B.Waste ones energy t
10、aking risks.C.Miss the opportunity to succeed.D.Lose the interest to continue learning.答案D解析词义猜测题。根据语境并结合画线短语所在句可知，人们在还没到达人生的终点之前就失去了继续学习的兴趣。故选D项。53.What could be inferred from Paragraph 4?A.Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped.B.Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead.C.Oppor
11、tunity favors those with a curious mind.D.Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind.答案C解析推理判断题。通读第四段可知，该段是说我们中大多数人总是减少自己生活的多样性，困在自己的专业领域，没有什么能给我们带来惊喜，但是只要我们愿意学，到处都是机会。据此可推知，机会青睐有求知欲的人。54.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 5?A.A tough man can tolerate suffering.B.A wise man can l
12、ive without self-pity.C.A man should try to satisfy people around him.D.A man should learn suitable ways to deal with life.答案D解析推理判断题。通读第五段可知，该段说到我们成熟之后学会忍受自己改变不了的事，学会避免自我哀怜；知道有些人是我们无论怎么做都讨好不了的，而这种想法最初会困扰我们，但最终我们会感到释然。由此可知，作者在第五段想告诉我们应该学会用合适的方式对待生活，因此选D。55.What is the authors purpose in writing the
13、passage?A.To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.B.To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work.C.To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.D.To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.答案A解析写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文通过塞万提斯的经历告诉我们要让自己成年的生活充满意
14、义。一、题型解读各种话题的阅读材料都可能考查写作意图/目的题。设问形式常有：1.整篇文章的写作意图/目的：(1)The author writes this passage in order to .(2)The author of the passage aims to .(3)The purpose of the passage is to .(4)What is the main purpose of the passage?(5)What is the authors intention of writing this passage?(6)The author of the stor

16、开。(2)广告类应用文：文章中有对某种物品或服务的详尽介绍，使用具有明显支持倾向的语言。(3)说明文：写作目的有赖于对文章主旨的把握，阅读时需要找准主题句。(4)议论文：提出论点进行论证得出结论，作者的意图往往隐含于最后一部分中。2.看写作手法找答案(1)在文章开头提出问题或介绍与主题有关的其他事物时答案中往往会含有to bring in/to introduce the topic等字眼。(2)举例或引用某人的话时答案中往往会含有to support/to show等字眼。例如：【真题感悟】中的第55题，文章为议论文，文章先提出论点，再进行论证，最后得出结论：我们要让自己的成年生活充满意义。

21、11In a research led by University of professor Jochen Menges，when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion，the audience was less likely to scrutinize(细致审查) the message and remembered of the content.Ironically audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more

31、st moments in human history were fuelled by emotional intelligence.”可知，人类历史上一些最伟大的时刻是由情商推动的，紧接着作者提到马丁路德金就是为了给读者留下深刻的印象，故C项正确。2.Which of the following belongs to a dark side of emotional intelligence?A.Developing the capability to control ones own emotion.B.Inducing people to do what brings disadvant
32、ages to them.C.Appealing to the audience to concentrate and remember more.D.Encouraging the moved audience to recall more of the speech.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句及最后一句可知，情商重要，但失控的热情掩盖了它的黑暗面，当你知道别人的感受时，你可以激励他们违背自己的最佳利益，由此可知，诱导人们做对他们不利的事情属于情商的黑暗面之一，故B项正确。3.What is the dumbstruck effect of Hitlers emotional i
33、ntelligence?A.His followers would tear open their hearts to him.B.His followers would express emotions strategically.C.His followers would lose the ability to reason properly.D.His followers would develop the self-serving motives.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第五段第二句可知，希特勒之所以极具说服力，是因为他有能力战略性地表达自己的情绪，这些情绪会影响到他的追随者，让他们
34、不再批判性地思考，而只是发泄情绪，由此可知，希特勒情商的惊人影响是使他的追随者失去了正确推理的能力，故C项正确。4.How do people use their emotional intelligence for personal gain?A.They disguise their emotions to earn others trust.B.They help their colleagues to build up confidence.C.They present their strategic behaviors on the stage.D.They lower their
35、own dignity to gain popularity.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第七段中的“emotional intelligence helps people disguise(伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain”及“The strategic disguise of ones own emotions and the manipulation of others emotions for strategic ends are behaviors evident”可知，人们通过掩饰自己
36、的情绪赢得别人的信任来获取个人利益，故A项正确。5.Which may mean the same as the underlined word “nefarious” in Paragraph 8?A.Immoral. B.Unimportant.C.Illegal. D.Uncontrollable.答案A解析词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句及其后一句可知，人们并不总是利用情商来达到邪恶的目的，通常情感技巧只是实现目标的工具，由此可知画线词词义为“邪恶的，不道德的”，故A项正确。6.What would be the best title for the passage?A.The Benef

47、graph imply?A.Ecologists have long been afraid of those disgusting insects.B.Ecologists are worried about the disappearance of some insects.C.Ecologists have already got rid of the prejudiced feeling about insects.D.Ecologists are respectful of the insects ability to regenerate themselves.答案B解析推理判断题
48、。根据画线句及其后的内容可知，生态学家越来越多地把昆虫世界看作是受到惊吓的物体，而不是吓人的物体。在过去的两年里，大量的科学研究表明，数以万亿计的嗡嗡作响的蜜蜂、蝴蝶和甲虫正在消失。如果所有的人类都消失了，昆虫学家元老威尔逊写道，“世界还会再生但如果昆虫消失了，环境就会陷入混乱。”所以通过威尔逊所说的话可以判断出，第一段中带下画线的句子暗示出，生态学家担心一些昆虫的消失。故B选项正确。8.What conclusion can we draw from the studies conducted in the past two years?A.Though there is a decline
49、 in the number of insects，we still have the reason to be optimistic.B.Biodiversity can cause immediate damage so that we should take precautions right away.C.Data collected from all over the world is convincing to prove our environment is at risk.D.The consequence of decreasing biodiversity may be m
50、ore serious than we can imagine.答案D解析推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四句“That is because the worst fear is unproven.There are no studies at all of wild insect numbers in most of the world.”可知，生物多样性减少的后果可能比我们想象的更为严重。故D选项正确。9.What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A.To show the magical power of our mother na
51、ture.B.To analyze why insects are on the edge of extinction.C.To draw peoples attention to the decreasing insects.D.To urge the scientists to collect more data about insects.答案C解析写作意图题。通读全文可知，短文说明了昆虫危机还没有迫在眉睫，但是需要预防措施。昆虫是生态系统健康的指标。它们的衰落是一个警告，提醒我们要注意这一点，否则一切都太晚了。所以写这篇文章的目的是引起人们对正在减少的昆虫的注意。故C选项正确。.障碍词

58、ch filled with emotion是when引导的时间状语从句。精美译文在一个由大学教授Jochen Menges主持的研究中(发现)，当一个领导人做充满激情的演讲时，听众不太可能细致审查内容细节并记住演讲内容。12.Given the lack of data，it is impossible to know how close Europe and America are to an ecosystem collapse.句式分析本句是一个复合句，主句是it is impossible to know how close.；其中how引导一个宾语从句；Given the lack

62、forth D.set off答案A解析句意为：越来越多的早期互联网产品即将走到尽头。在中国也是如此，腾讯表示它将在2019年1月1日关闭 WebQQ。shut down关闭，停止运转，符合语境。improve on改进；put forth提出；set off出发，引发。4.Everyone in the tourist industry has made the point that Government assistance is helpful，what they actually need most is for the visitors themselves to return.A.
63、as B.when C.while D.since答案C解析句意为：从事旅游业的每个人都强调了这一点，尽管政府的援助确实有帮助，但是他们真正需要的是让游客自己回来。while引导让步状语从句时，相当于though和although，表示“尽管”，故选C。5.Jenny is not in the way to treat her students.Sometimes she is too tough on them，and sometimes she just allows them everything.(2019海安县高三期末)A.consistent B.conventionalC.co

65、ose D.its答案D解析考查独立主格结构。句意为：学院宣布了交换生计划，大部分学生已经提交了申请表。由于空格后面用了独立主格结构，此处应该用形容词物主代词，it指代The college，故D项正确。7.Next door to ours ，who seem to have settled in this community for quite a long time.A.are living a black coupleB.live a black coupleC.are a black couple livingD.do a black couple live答案B解析考查倒装句。Ne
66、xt door to ours是地点状语，置于句首时句子要全部倒装，即主谓倒装。句意为：我们隔壁住着一对黑人夫妇，他们似乎已经在这个社区定居很久了。根据句意可知时态为一般现在时，故选B。8.All rights reserved.The content above shall not be reprinted without permission，thanks.A.arbitrarily B.barelyC.offensively D.optionally答案A解析考查副词辨析。句意为：版权所有，以上内容未经允许不准随意重印，谢谢。arbitrarily 随意地，武断地；barely勉强，几乎
