22、艺复兴感兴趣，费拉拉被称为文艺复兴之城，即它与文艺复兴有关，所以作者去参观了费拉拉，故A项正确。2答案与解析：B考查细节理解。题干问的是作者如何看待米其林绿色指南对费拉拉的评价。根据第二段中的“butIfinditisntasgreatasotherItaliancitieslikeVerona, letaloneVeniceorRome.TheMichelinGreenGuidegivesittwostars, whichisright.”可知，作者认为费拉拉不如像维罗那等的意大利城市好，更不用说威尼斯和罗马了，米其林绿色指南给这个城市评两颗星是合理的，故B项正确。3答案与解析：C考查细节理
23、解。根据第三段第五句可知，埃斯坦塞城堡的名字起源于强大的埃斯特家族，即以这个家族的名字而命名，故C项正确。4答案与解析：C考查推理判断。根据尾段最后两句可知，作者在曼图亚度过了更加愉快的时光，并结合第二段尾句可推知，与费拉拉相比，作者对于曼图亚之旅更满意，故C项正确。B语篇类型：议论文主题语境：人与社会文化精装书受欢迎的原因【语篇解读】精装书虽然价格昂贵，但是它体现了产品的高质量，加上利润较高，所以始终有一定的市场。5答案与解析：A考查理解具体信息的能力。根据第一段第一句“Whenyoureallyloveabook, orhavejustscoredanewonethatyouredying
24、toread, itcanbeexcitingtopickupasmooth, shinyhardcovercopythatcreaksalittlebitwhenyouopenit”可知，如果你的确很喜欢一本书，或者刚刚得到一本你非常想读的新书，拿起那光滑、闪亮的精装本是一件令人兴奋的事。由此可知，精装书吸引真正的读书爱好者，故A项正确。6答案与解析：D考查理解词汇的能力。根据画线词上文可知，不久之前精装书是书的唯一形式，它价格昂贵，而随着批量生产出现，这种情况改变了，平装书被生产出来，这一变化与二战时期以阅读为消遣娱乐的人数激增的情况相一致。由此可知，画线词意为“(数量的)急剧上升，激增”
25、，与increase意思相近。7答案与解析：B考查理解具体信息的能力。根据尾段第三句中的“Justasfilmfansliketoseefilmsonthebigscreen, collectorsenjoythehardcoverssuperiorquality”可知，就像影迷喜欢在大银幕上看电影一样，收藏者也喜欢精装书的高品质。由此可知，精装书至今仍在生产的原因是它们值得收藏，受收藏者欢迎，故B项正确。8答案与解析：C考查理解目的的能力。通读全文可知，本文主要论述了精装书仍然受欢迎的原因。由此可知，本文旨在解释一个令人困惑的问题，故C项正确。.完形填空语篇类型：记叙文主题语境：人与自我哲理
26、故事信念对人生的影响【语篇解读】一位女士听信了20年前一个手相家告诉她的话她的命运不好，从那时起，她的运气一直很糟糕。作者想做点什么帮助这位女士，于是向她说了一个善意的谎言她40岁以后会有好运气，没想到这样的话对这位女士产生了积极的影响。由此作者悟出了一个重要的人生哲理：信念的力量很强大，它对人生有很大的影响。1答案与解析：C根据下文中的“shebelievedinfate”可知，这位女士对于命运深信不疑，因此她坚决认为(insisted)自己的运气不好。2答案与解析：D根据上文中的“shewasinbadluck”可知，这位女士一直抱怨自己不幸的生活。3答案与解析：B根据下文可知，作者想到一
27、个帮助这位女士的主意。sth.happenstosb.“某事发生在某人身上”；occurtosb.“(主意或想法)被想到”；appealtosb.“对某人有吸引力”；refertosb.“提到某人”。4答案与解析：A根据语境可知，这位女士相信命运，所以作者打算给这位女士看手相。readsb.spalm“看手相”。5答案与解析：D根据语境可知，作者本以为这位女士会让自己给她看手相，但出乎意料的是，这位女士颤抖着立即把手缩了回去。6答案与解析：C根据上文中的“Beyondmyexpectation”可知，作者对于这位女士的做法感到惊奇(amazement)。7答案与解析：B根据下文中的“Andth
28、atwaswhenmymisfortunebegan”可知，这位女士说自从20年前一个看手相的人给她说她的命运不好之后，她就开始不走运。beoutofluck“不走运”。8答案与解析：C根据本句中的“marriedmypresenthusband”可知，这位女士最终离开了那个优秀的男孩。9答案与解析：B根据下文中的“evenbeatsmesometimes”可知，这位女士的丈夫是一个脾气暴躁的人。absentmindedadj.“心不在焉的”；hottemperedadj.“脾气暴躁的”；strongwilledadj.“意志坚强的”；kindheartedadj.“仁慈的”。10答案与解析：
29、D本句and后的“evenbeatsmesometimes”表示递进，因此本句and前讲的也是这位女士的丈夫脾气暴躁的表现，即常常骂她。shout“怒骂”符合语境。11答案与解析：A结合语境可知，作者是在给这位女士看手相，因此需要把她的手掌展开(spread)。12答案与解析：A结合语境可知，作者并不懂手相术，这样做只是为了帮助这位女士，因此应是假装惊讶地喊道。13答案与解析：B根据下文中的“Aftertheageof40，youwillbeinluck！”可知，作者告诉这位女士她的命运很好。14答案与解析：D根据上文中的“Really？”可知，这位女士对作者说的话表示怀疑。15答案与解析：C
30、根据下文中的“Youcantrustme”可知，作者为了让这位女士相信自己，骗这位女士说自己已经研究手相术十多年了。16答案与解析：C结合语境可知，作者为了让这位女士相信自己，给予了她肯定的回答。positively“肯定地”符合语境。17答案与解析：A根据本句中的“shelookedsodifferent”可知，半年之后，这位女士变化如此之大，作者起初(atfirst)竟没有认出她。inall“总共，总计”；onend“不断地，连续地”；fornow“暂时，目前”。18答案与解析：B根据本句中的“Wearingasmile”“neatlydressed”和“likeanewpenny”可知，这位女士精神焕发，shine“发光，放光”符合语境。19答案与解析：C根据本句中的“youjustneedtobelieve”并结合语境可知，此处作者讲的是信念的力量。20答案与解析：B结合本句中的“waitforthemiracle”可知，当生活不如意的时候，要不断地告知自己一切都会好起来的。breakout“爆发，突然开始”；workout“成功地发展”；findout“查明，弄清(情况)”；clearout“清理”。
