26、ins”可知应选D项。3.C细节理解题。根据Fees&Passes部分中的“Yourstayislimitedto14daysatatime.”可知,在美国温泉国家公园露营一次最多只能停留14天。【篇章导读】本文是说明文。随着科学技术的进步,科学家们正一步步揭开木乃伊的神秘面纱。4.C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Scientistssaysheprobablydiedoflungdiseasewhenshewasinher40sabout2,000yearsagoinEgypt.”可知,科学家们认为GildedLady生活在2000多年前的古埃及。5.D推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Ahundr
27、edyearsago,scientistswouldusuallyopenmummiescoffins.”及“ByusingCTscanners.whowasrelatedtowhom.”可知,随着科技的进步,科学家们改变了以往的研究手段,并获得了更多重要的发现,由此可知Futter的话说明科技对木乃伊的研究起着重要的作用。6.B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“InancientPeru,peoplepracticedmummificationtostayconnectedwiththeirancestors.”可知,秘鲁人制作木乃伊是为了与他们的祖先紧密相连在一起。7.B代词指代题。根据最后
28、一段中的“Futtercallsthemummiesintheshowmessengersfromanothertime.”可知,由于木乃伊被当成历史信息的传递者,所以科学家们希望继续发掘木乃伊的秘密以理解他们所传递的信息,故这里it指代“信息”的意思。二、【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了四种提高学习动力的方法。1.F根据设空前一句“Findingmotivation,especiallystudymotivation,isnotalwayseasy.”可知,F项“然而,付出一点儿努力,我们就可以学习到如何提高我们的学习动力”符合语境。F项的内容与前一句构成意义上的转折关系。2.GG项中的
29、“somethingassimpleassweetsorsomethinggreaterlikeavacation”是设空前一句中的“aprizeorsomekindofreward”的具体内容。3.A设空处为段落小标题。根据本段主要内容“用过去的成功经历激励我们勇往直前”可知,A项“记得过去成功的经历”符合语境。4.BB项中的writtenword与设空前一句中的writethemdown及设空后一句中的writesomethingdown相互呼应。5.D根据本段小标题“Seeyourgoals.”及设空后一句“Putthemuponthewallandpastesmallpost-itno
30、tesallovertheplace.”可知,D项“不要只是将你的目标写在纸上,然后就置之不理了”符合语境。三、1.nodded考查一般过去时。由前面的“Hehesitatedamoment”可知,设空处所表示的动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时,故填nodded。2.words考查名词复数。word在此意为“话语”,是可数名词且表泛指,应用复数形式,故填words。3.tomake考查不定式做宾语的用法。expecttodosth意为“期待做某事”。4.saying考查动词-ing形式做宾语的用法。设空处做by的宾语,故填saying。5.how考查连接词。设空处所在句意为:但是知道正确读懂身势
31、语有多难,“我”就问道:“你犹豫了。是不是觉得其实并没有什么问题?”故填how(多么)。6.certainly考查副词。设空处修饰谓语,表示“确实”,故填certainly。7.that考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词something,故填that。8.to考查固定结构。leadto意为“导致”。9.are考查主谓一致。由语境可知,设空处是对一般情况的描述,应用一般现在时,又因为主语是Thoughts,fears,joys,confusionandnervousness,故填are。10.confident考查形容词做表语的用法。设空处在此做表语,表示“自信的”,故填confident。
