55、andlackofoxygen,theirdoctorsalsoplantocloselymonitorthemforsymptomsofdiseasesthatmayhavebeeninfectedbyanimalslivinginthecave.”可知:Adequateoxygen不是获救的队员的潜在症状,故选D。2.A猜测词义题。本题题干意为:第三段中画线词“submerged”的意思是。根据第三段第一句(然而根据那些男孩被困的位置从洞穴建筑群的正门进去走了4公里多,经过了一些完全被淹没的通道以及他们一直带着潜水面罩游泳这一事实,他们在被营救期间和蝙蝠在洞里生活在一起并吸入与蝙蝠相关的细
56、菌似乎不太可能)可推知画线词的意思是“被淹没的”,故选A项。3.C细节理解题。本题题干意为:关于那个山洞及被困的人们哪一项是对的?根据最后一段中第一、二句(利普金说,泰国的蝙蝠与许多类似于严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)的病毒有联系。但似乎更有可能的是,当男孩子们带伤在脏水里游过时,他们可能会接触到引起感染的细菌。)可知:在救援过程中,当他们的身体暴露在有细菌的水中时,他们可能会被感染。故选C项。4.B推理判断题。本题题干意为:本文的文本类型是什么?通读全文可知:本文既不是有关蝙蝠的学术论文、一本医学杂志,也不是一个关于体育的泰国网站,而是一篇新闻报道。故选B项。Passage7Bikeshar

66、2.A细节理解题。本题题干意为:共享单车项目的现状是什么?根据第三段第二句“Manyendupoperatingatafinancialloss.”(许多最终以亏损经营告终)可知答案为A项。3.D推理判断题。本题题干意为:作者为什么提及自然环境?作者在第四段中指出:了解哪些因素促进或阻碍公共自行车共享的发展在帮助城市对这样一个项目是否可行做出决定至关重要。在第六段作者又以环境为例来说明一些因素的重要性,故答案为D项。4.D细节理解题。本题题干意为:下面哪一项可能会提高共享单车的使用率?根据文章最后一句“However,someapproaches,suchasprovidingsheltere

187、此本题选择D项。3.A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Verificationandfact-checkingareregularlyfallingvictimtothepressuretobringinthenumbers,andiftheonlyresultofbeingcaughtoutisanotherchancetobringintheclicks,thatlooksunlikelytochange. 可以看出作者不支持编造假新闻的做法。4.B主旨大意题。文章首先以一个新闻消息开篇,引出制造假新闻这一现象,全文一直在对为什么会出现这种现象进行分析,也就是说文章主要向读者剖析了网上经常出现假消息的原因,因此选择B项。长难句Todaythebarforwhatisworthgivingattentiontoseemstobemuchlower.现在,什么是值得关注的这一道门槛似乎越来越低了。句中的主干是thebarseemstobemuchlower,for是介词,后接what引导的宾语从句,for.attentionto是对thebar的修饰限定。
