It was a huge one, spread onto 2 stories and 200, 000+sq-ft. After 45
21、 minutes of shopping(which looked like a real escape game)to just get some tomatoes, cheese and 3 toothpicks, I arrived at the cashier line, thoughtful and a bit upset by the time I spent to get 5 articles. I wondered why I did not go to a small local store.After 15 minutes of waiting in the line, t
22、he woman in front of me called me: Heyyou only have 5 articles? Pass before me; I have many more articles than you!It wasnt the first time it had happened to me. But her initiative(提议)was disarming, as well as was her smile. She did not wear any mask, so I could see it. Not knowing what else to do,
23、I accepted her offering. We chatted a bit waiting for the customers ahead of us to finish-she was very pleasant. Then I thanked her, giving her back my brightest smile although I was wearing a mask.Getting back in my car, I rethought about that good moment, and realized that she made my day. In the
24、meantime, I wondered how to give it back to her. No doubt it was quite impossible, so I considered how to pay-it-forward to someone else.While driving, I realized that she saved me 10 minutes. And while I was driving at 70mph, I reduced my speed to 55 mph. The amount of fuel used dropped down by 35%
25、.As a result, I re-lost part of the 10 minutes that the woman offered me, but it was a way to repay her and do a small thing for the environment.4.

By driving a little slower.C. By paying it forward to someone else.D. By asking others to protect the environment.【答案】
28、4. C 5. D 6. D 7. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者因为挑选商品花费了较长时间,又在结算队伍中等了15分钟,心里很生气。多亏一位女士跟她交换了位置,才得以提前十分钟结账离开商店。作者为了报答那位女士给她节省的10分钟,在回家路上主动降低车速,减少汽车油耗,从而减少对环境的污染。【详解】1.细节理解题。根据第二段中“After 45 minutes of shopping(which looked like a real escape game)to just get some tomatoes, cheese and 3 toothpicks, I arrived at
29、 the cashier line, thoughtful and a bit upset by the time I spent to get 5 articles. I wondered why I did not go to a small local store.”可知,为了买一些西红柿、奶酪和3盒牙签,我花了45分钟去购物(这看起来像是一个真正的逃避游戏) ,最后我来到了收银台,对于花在买5件物品上的时间,我感到有点心烦意乱。我想知道为什么我不去当地的小商店。所以可知,作者用45分钟时间才购买了5件商品,觉得挑选商品花费时间太多,不如在小商店购买节省时间。选项C与文意一致,故选C。2
30、.细节理解题。根据第三段中“After 15 minutes of waiting in the line, the woman in front of me called me: Hey, you only have 5 articles? Pass before me; I have many more articles than you!”(在排了15分钟的队后,我前面的女士喊我:“嘿,你只有5件物品? ”到我前面,我的东西比你多得多! ”)可知,作者在结算队伍中等了15分钟后才和那位女士换了位置;再根据倒数第二段的“While driving,I realized that she s
31、aved me 10 minutes.”(开车的时候,我意识到她帮我省了10分钟)可知,换位给她节省了10分钟,由此可知,如果作者不换位,那么至少要排队25(15+10)分钟。选项D符合文意。故选D。3.词句猜测题。根据第二段“After 45 minutes of shopping(which looked like a real escape game)to just get some tomatoes, cheese and 3 toothpicks, I arrived at the cashier line, thoughtful and a bit upset by the tim
32、e I spent to get 5 articles.

33、only have 5 articles? Pass before me; I have many more articles than you!”(嘿,你只有5件物品? 到我前面,我的东西比你多得多!)可知,这时,前面那位女士提议换位,这会节省作者时间,她自然会感到不那么生气了。由此推测画线词意为“使人不再生气”。选项D符合文意。故选D。4.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容“While driving, I realized that she saved me 10 minutes. And while I was driving at 70mph, I reduced my speed to
34、 55 mph. The amount of fuel used dropped down by 35%.”(开车的时候,我意识到她帮我省了10分钟。当我以每小时70英里的速度行驶时,我把速度降到了每小时55英里。燃料消耗量下降了35% )及最后一段“As a result, I re-lost part of the 10 minutes that the woman offered me, but it was a way to repay her and do a small thing for the environment.”(结果,我又失去了那个女人给我的10分钟的一部分,但这是报
35、答她的方式,也是为环境做点小事)可知,作者为了报答那位女士给她节省的10分钟时间,在回家路上主动降低车速,减少汽车油耗,从而减少对环境的污染。选项B与文意相符,故选B。CThe worlds largest iceberg, named A68a, broke away from Antarcticas Larsen C ice shelf in July, 2017.

It is traveling at one kilometer an hour and is on a path to hit South Georgia in around 30 days.Right now is the time of year when seals and penguins spend a lot of time caring for their young. This mea
37、ns the distance that parents have to travel to find food is important. Scientists fear that if the iceberg hits the island, it could prevent the penguins and seals from reaching food supplies. That means they have to go a lot further. They have to go around the iceberg, or to actually go further to
38、find food. And that time is quite important at this particular period of their life cycle.Ecologists say an iceberg crash(碰撞)would also disturb materials settled on the seabed, possibly polluting the surrounding seas. As the iceberg melts(融化), it would also send large amounts of fresh water into the
39、 ocean. This could affect krill populations that are a major source of food for the islands wildlife. Besides, the iceberg could remain for 10 years and change the areas whole ecosystem. If some rare species fail in this area, their numbers globally are going to go down quite sharply.The breaking-of
40、f of icebergs from Antarctica is a natural process. But the process is changing with climate change. What were seeing now is that the speed at which this is happening is increasing. And so, this might become more of a usual thing into the future. Right now, officials are hoping that changing weather

45、ling at one kilometer an hour and is on a path to hit South Georgia in around 30 days.”可知,冰山每小时前进1千米,估计30天能撞上南乔治亚岛,那么现在两者间的距离应该有720千米左右。所以现在它距南乔治亚州500多公里。A,D项未提及,B项more than 4 years表述不对。故选C项。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段内容“Right now is the time of year when seals And that time is quite important at this particu
46、lar period of their life cycle.”可知,如今正是海豹和企鹅照顾幼崽的时节,如果冰山撞上海岛,可能会阻碍企鹅和海豹到达食物源。这意味着他们必须走得更远。他们必须绕过冰山,或者实际上要走得更远才能找到食物。A项“通过把其他野生动植物带到那里”,B项“通过减慢他们的生命周期”,C项“通过切断通往喂养区域的路”,D项“通过使天气完全不同”。故选C项。【10题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段“Ecologists say an iceberg crash(碰撞)would also disturb materials settled on the seabed their nu
47、mbers globally are going to go down quite sharply.可知,主要介绍了冰山撞击海岛后的影响:搅乱海床上的物质,污染周围海域;冰山融化释放淡水,杀死虾群,影响岛上野生动物的食物来源;冰山可能存在10年,改变地区整个生态系统;如果当地稀有物种数量下降,该物种在全世界范围内的数量也将急剧下降。A项“冰山可能保存的时间周期”,B项“冰山碰撞的可能影响”,C项“稀有物种减少的可能原因”,D项“冰山可以产生的淡水”。故选B项。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“What were seeing now is that the speed at whic
48、h this is happening is increasing. And so, this might become more of a usual thing into the future.”可知,冰山从南极洲脱离的速率在增加,在未来,冰山脱离南极洲飘向他处很有可能会成为普遍的事情。所以可知漂浮的冰山会越来越普遍。故选A项。【点睛】阅读理解题的解题方法,首先,宏观浏览,掌握大意。不要困扰在个别词汇的翻译上,偶有生词,走为上计。其次,读懂题干,带着问题再去微观细读。最后,分析句子,慎思明辨。阅读理解题之细节理解解题要注意:1.排除干扰项,突出主题。2.按文章的体裁,作者写作的组织模式及有

103、是很重要的。分析可知,此处为从句谓语动词,结合语境可知表一般的情况,且food与produce之间为被动关系,要用一般现在时的被动语态,且food为不可数名词。故填is produced。【45题详解】考查介词。句意:粮食安全取决于正确的粮食储存和处理。固定短语depend on/upon“取决于,依赖,依靠”。故填on/upon。【46题详解】考查宾语从句的疑问词。句意:动物科学家和肉类科学家努力寻找如何可以阻止病原体传播到动物产品上。由介词about可知此处是一个宾语从句,分析宾语从句可知,从句成分完整,但缺少“如何”之意,因此要用连接副词how,表示方式。故填how。【47题详解】考查非
104、谓语动词。句意:动物科学家和肉类科学家努力寻找如何可以阻止病原体传播到动物产品上。固定短语stop sb.

109、态。句意同上。分析句子可知,an exhibition of intelligent robots 与动词hold为动宾关系,所以hold要用被动,结合本句的时态,所以用一般将来时的被动语态。一般将来时的被动语态结构为:will + be + 过去分词,故will后加be。3.考查不可数名词。句意:现在,我写信来询问更多的信息。information为不可数名词,所以informations改为information。故informations改为information。4.考查并列连词。句意:首先,你能告诉我有多少机器人要展出,这些机器人主要用来做什么吗?分析句子可知,本句为并列句,“ ho
110、w many .on show”和“what .used for?”两个分句不存在转折关系,仅表示并列,所以but改为and。故but改为and。5.考查副词。句意同上。结合本句中used for,可知,此处用副词来修饰动词,故main改为mainly。6.考查非谓语动词。句意:其次,我想知道是否会有机器人的表演,或者我们可以和机器人玩的游戏。performances与give在逻辑上为动宾关系,所以give要用过去分词表被动,故giving改为given。7.考查介词+关系代词引导的定语从句。句意同上。分析句子可知,名词games为先行词,其后内容为定语从句修饰先行词,在定语从句中作地点状语
111、,结合关系词用法,要用关系副词where,关系副词where可以用in which替换,所以that改为which。故that改为which。8.考查固定表达。句意:另外,我想知道我是否应该现在订展览会的门票。固定表达:whats more,表示“而且,另外”,不需要冠词。故删除the。9.考查情态动词的用法。句意同上。情态动词后跟动词原形,所以booked改为book。故booked改为book。10.考查条件状语从句。句意:如果你能早点给我答复,我将不胜感激。固定句式:I would be grateful if.,意为“如果.我将不胜感激”,if为条件状语从句。故whether改为if。

117、 result【点睛】高分句型1 I write to you to bid you farewell as I am leaving school next week to transfer to another high school.该句是复合句。后半句as引导原因状语从句。使用高分词组“bid you farewell,transfer to another high school.”高分句型2 The move is quite sudden and I would have liked to finish my studies first, but the move is necessary for us.该句前半句and连接两个并列句,后半句but引导原因状语从句。采用高分词汇sudden,necessary。高分句型3 I want to tell you that you are the best teacher I have ever had.该句是复合句。前半部分tell sb that中that引导宾语从句,做tell的直接宾语。后半部分是限制性定语从句,the best teacher是先行词,省略了关系代词that,在从句中做had的宾语。
