30、t shake his faith”可知，尽管很多人怀疑他是不是能在四年中完成这件事，但是他信念坚定。由此可见他是“意志坚定的”。2B考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“his goal of $100, 000”和第三段中的“Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline, he was $30, 000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair . $19, 000”可知，在截止日期前的四个月，离他的筹款目标还差30 000美元，于是他决定举办这个活动来达到目标。3B考查句意
31、理解。根据下文中的“we decided to do more”以及“Joshs Penny House is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa, along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction”可知，捐款势头一直保持下去，他收到了比最初目标多的钱，于是打算做更多，他帮助建造Joshs Penny House以及24所新住宅来帮助需要的人，所以画线处应意为“他继续收到捐款”。 4D考查主旨大意。文章主要讲述了一
32、个11岁的少年经过几年不懈的努力，实现为低收入家庭募捐建房的梦想的经历。本文提到的“Joshs Penny House”是解题的暗示。钱是Josh一分分筹来的，因此本文最佳标题是D。B体裁：夹叙夹议题材：社会文化主题：了解非洲【语篇解读】本文讲述了一堂非洲社会学课引出了一部分人对非洲的误解，而主人公经过实地考察后消除了之前对非洲地理文化的误解。5D考查词义猜测。根据下段提到的非洲拥有人类最古老的文明之一埃及文明以及常识可知，此处表示非洲是人类的摇篮。cradle意为“摇篮”，且结合选项可知，此处cradle引申为“重要事物的发源地”。故选D项。6C考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“When it
33、comes to the natural environment of Africa, our misunderstandings are only bigger. But the truth is that .”可知，当提及非洲时，我们对它的误解很大。而第四段中也列举了非洲与我们想象中的不同之处。由此可知，我们对非洲有误解，真实的情况和我们想象中的有所不同。故选C项。7A考查推理判断。根据第五段的内容尤其本段第一句可知，本文的主人公亲自游览非洲后，才对非洲有了真正的了解。由此可知，她会同意“眼见为实”这一观点。故选A项。8B考查主旨大意。综观全文可知，本文主人公之前对非洲有很多误解，但亲自游
34、览非洲后，才对非洲有了正确且深入的了解，消除了之前对非洲的误解。故B项最能总结本篇文章的主题，适合作本文的标题，故选B项。.七选五体裁：说明文主题语境：人与社会公益事业如何成为积极分子【语篇解读】积极分子是指那些看到变革的需要并投入时间去做些什么的人。本篇文章就如何成为积极分子而去从事公益事业提供了一些建议。1C前一句提到“see the need of change and devote their time to doing something about it”(看到变革的需要并投入时间去做些什么)，由此可推知，空处应是进一步阐述积极分子这样做的原因，故C项“他们被激情和对更美好的未来的
35、憧憬所驱使”与此处匹配。2B根据文章结构和空处所处位置可知，该空为本段的主题句。根据本段中的“from a student club to a national organization”和“Most activist organizations”可知，本段的主题是关于加入某个组织的。故选B。3E前句提到“Donate money or supplies”(捐赠金钱或物资)，由此可推知，空处应是说明这样做的原因，故E项“大多数积极分子或慈善组织需要资源来开展工作”符合语境。4D本段的主题句为“Draw the family and friends in”(让家人和朋友参与进来)，空前一句是说如
36、果他们感兴趣，向他们分享有关你的事业的宣传资料或仅仅告诉他们你学到的东西，空处应是进一步说明你让朋友和家人参与的具体做法，故D项符合语境，且句式结构与前一句相同。5F本段的主题句为“Promote your cause on social media”，该段也提到了利用“social media”，这与F项“发布有用的文章，写下你正在做什么来保持参与”密切联系，故选F。.语法填空体裁：说明文题材：传统文化主题：中医【语篇解读】中医并不为大多数西方人所认可。然而，这一切正开始有所改变。中医将被纳入世界卫生组织出版的国际疾病分类(ICD)，这表明中医获得了主流的认可，将对全球产生重大影响，有助于中
37、医发展。1widely考查副词。空处作状语修饰谓语动词，故要用所给词的副词形式。wide的副词形式有两种：wide和widely，前者表示“充分张开地”，后者表示“广泛地”。根据语境可知要用widely。2However考查副词。然而，这一切正开始改变。上下文之间是转折关系，且空后有逗号，故应该填However。注意：空处位于句首，首字母要大写。3will be brought考查动词的时态和语态。根据时间状语“in the near future”和上文的will be可知，此处也要用一般将来时；bring out与主语是被动关系，此处表示“被出版”，故要用一般将来时的被动语态。注意brin
38、g的过去分词形式。4first考查序数词。这是中医首次作为疾病与健康状况的国际标准被纳入国际疾病分类。此处表示“第一次”，故用序数词。5to promote考查非谓语动词。中国一直努力向海外推广中医。分析句子结构可知，此处要用动词不定式作目的状语。6published考查非谓语动词。据新华社报道，在过去的三年中，中国在海外建立了26家中医中心。空处作后置定语修饰report, report与publish之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，且非谓语动作已经完成，故用过去分词作后置定语，表示被动和完成。7won考查动词的时态。2015年，中国科学家屠呦呦因发现能够治愈疟疾的药物而被授予诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。由时间状语In 2015可知，此处应用一般过去时。8that考查主语从句的连接词。据报道，很多外国名人都用中医。分析句子结构可知，本句是“It is reported that .”句型，表示“据报道”，其中It是形式主语，that引导的从句是真正的主语。9swimmer考查词形转换。比如，2016年里约夏季奥运会期间，有人发现美国游泳运动员迈克尔菲尔普斯使用火罐。空处表示“游泳运动员”，且空前有限定词，应该用名词swimmer。10for考查介词。火罐是一种在中国有两千多年历史的传统中医疗法。根据语境可知，此处应用for与时间段连用，该时间状语常与现在完成时连用。
