20、。提示:中国园林博物馆theMuseumofChineseGardensandLandscapeArchitecture注意:1词数100左右;2可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。DearRosy,_Yours,LiHua限时提分练(十).阅读理解语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与社会社会文化西方国家间的文化差异【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了西方国家间的文化差异,包括微笑和交流等方面。1答案与解析:A考查推理判断。作者在第二段中讲到了美国人、欧洲人对微笑的不同解读。由此可以推知,在西方国家笑是与文化有关的,故A项正确。2答案与解析:D考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Europeansaremorestra
21、ightforward.takeashower”可知,欧洲人通常坦诚地表达自己,故选D。A项意为“绕圈子,拐弯抹角地讲话”。3答案与解析:B考查代词指代。画线词前的“Americansareextremelypoliticallycorrect, which,inmostcases, isindeedasecureandbeneficialpractice”与后面的“messupdailyorevenprivatecommunication”存在转折关系,又结合语境可推知,it指代的应该是美国人的这种政治正确性,故选B。4答案与解析:B考查推理判断。通读全文可知,作者通过分析美国人和欧洲人对微
22、笑的不同解读以及通常在交际中的不同表现来展开文章。由此可推知,作者是通过作比较展开文章的,故选B。.七选五语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与社会研究发现被音乐叫醒使人更清醒【语篇解读】研究人员发现,更容易让人早上感到清醒的不是手机设置的令人讨厌的“嘟嘟”声,而是美妙的音乐声。1答案与解析:C考查上下文衔接。根据下文“Arecentstudysaysyes.Theanswerismusic”以及空后的问号可知,空处为疑问句且为一般疑问句,内容承接上文提及的手机嘟嘟声难以让人甩掉早上昏昏沉沉的感觉的内容,故此处问的是有没有更好的叫醒方式,故C项正确。2答案与解析:G考查上下文衔接。由前一句“Theya
23、nsweredquestionsaboutthealarmsoundtheyliketowakeupto”可知,参加研究者回答了关于他们想要醒来时伴随的铃声的问题。据此可以判断,与该句中的sound呼应,空处应说明他们还表达了自己对这种声音的感受以及醒来后的感受。故G项正确。3答案与解析:F考查上下文衔接。根据该句后半句“andhastroublegettingmovingagainaftersleeping”并结合语境可推知,此处应是解释什么是grogginess(昏昏沉沉),故F项“它意味着在醒来时,人们会有沉重的感觉”与此处匹配。4答案与解析:E考查上下文衔接。上文提到不是所有人都会经历
24、整个影响过程,结合下文可推断,空处讲述经历该过程的人应该如何应对。下文中的forpeople和E项中的forthose相呼应,故E项正确。5答案与解析:A考查上下文衔接。根据空前的问句“So, whatmakesmusicalalarmsbetterforwakingup?”可知,空处应是回答该问题;结合上文和常识可知,音乐闹钟更适合唤醒可能是因为它有不同的音调,故选A。.完形填空语篇类型:记叙文主题语境:人与社会公益行动EthanKatz通过卖T恤衫救助狗狗【语篇解读】EthanKatz很喜欢和自己的狗狗玩耍,并且经常帮助外婆遛她的五只狗。在他九岁生日的时候,EthanKarz想出一个通过卖

27、romovercrowdedshelters”可知,大多数收容所对它们能照顾的动物数量有限制(limits),故选D。6答案与解析:C根据下文中的“CityDogsRescuesave10dogsfromovercrowdedshelters”可知,该处表示CityDogsRescue把狗狗从过度拥挤的收容所里转移出来。remove意为“移走”,符合语境,故选C项。7答案与解析:A根据语境可知,志愿者们照顾这些被从过度拥挤的收容所里转移出来的动物,直到它们被收养。until“直到为止”符合语境,故选A。8答案与解析:D根据语境可知,Ethan要在一个网站上卖T恤衫来筹钱,此处应是他打了一段关于
28、他项目的文字,故选D。9答案与解析:B根据空后的“eachTshirtat$20”可知,此处指Ethan将每件T恤衫定价为20美元,故选B。price在此处是动词,意为“给定价”。10答案与解析:D根据本句中的“Everytimesomeoneboughtone”及上文表述的Ethan要为CityDogsRescue筹钱可知,此处指每次有人买T恤衫,所卖的钱的一部分就捐给CityDogsRescue,故选项D符合语境。11答案与解析:B根据下文中的“Bytheendofhis30dayfundraising_13_,hehadsold179Tshirtsandraised$2,640”可推知,
29、Ethan起初的(original)目标是卖出75件T恤衫,而他只用了三天时间就超过了这个目标。12答案与解析:C参见上题解析。above意为“超过”,故选C。13答案与解析:B根据语境及下文中的“thefundraisingevent”可知,此处表示他为期30天的筹款活动。drive意为“驱动器;(有组织的)活动”,故选B。14答案与解析:A根据上文中的“ButEthanwasntfinished”和下文中的“soEthandecidedto_15_thefundraisingeventforanothermonth”可知,人们继续联系CityDogsRescue,要购买T恤衫。此处选项B的
30、干扰性比较大,visit意为“访问,参观”;从文中可知,T恤衫不是CityDogsRescue直接销售的,而是Ethan在网站上出售的,故不选B。15答案与解析:D根据语境可知,Ethan决定将这次筹款活动延续一个月,run意为“组织,管理,经营”符合语境,故选D。16答案与解析:A根据语境和本句中的“hefinallyraisedmorethan$14,500inall”可知,通过销售T恤衫和得到的其他捐款,他最终总共筹集了14500多美元。donation意为“捐赠物(尤指捐款)”,故选A。17答案与解析:C根据上文中的“ThatmoneyhelpedCityDogsRescuesave1
31、0dogsfromovercrowdedshelters”和语境可知,能有Ethan这样的朋友,华盛顿哥伦比亚特区的狗狗很幸运。故选C。18答案与解析:C根据语境可知,Ethan向孩子们证明了(showed)他们的行为可以产生真正的影响(effects),故选C。19答案与解析:A参见上题解析。20答案与解析:B根据整篇文章的内容可知,Ethan对自己的狗狗的爱激励了他去帮助别的狗狗。inspiresb.todosth.是固定用法,意为“激励某人做某事”,故选B。.书面表达【范文赏读】DearRosy,Howarethingsgoingwithyou?
