29、acticeamongmanyoftheworldspeople”可知,在泰国或肯尼亚很流行吃昆虫。5.D推理判断题。第三段提及了随着世界人口数量的急剧增长,人类对肉的需求量也大大增加。由第三段ArnoldvanHuis提出的建议“findsomethingelsetotaketheplaceofmeat.Oneverygoodchoiceisusinginsects”和第四段他指出饲养昆虫的优势requirelessland和becheapertofeed可知,他认为昆虫可替代肉来帮助养活不断增长的世界人口。6.C细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的“Butdonoteventhinkofeatin
30、ginsectsfromyourbackyard,sincethereisnowayofknowingiftheyaredangerous”可知,BrianFisher建议想要吃昆虫的人去饭店是出于安全方面的考虑。7.B推理判断题。倒数第二段的实验结果“nineoutoftenpeoplepreferredthemealwormmeatballs”说明,绝大多数受测者喜欢含有昆虫的肉丸。这样的实验结果对鼓励人们食用昆虫并致力于研发美味的昆虫食谱的ArnoldvanHuis来说自然是满意的。二、【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章就成功提出三点建议,告诫人们:成功不仅仅只是收获名利,而是内心的满足。只
31、要相信自己、明确目标、懂得满足,你就是成功的。1.G根据上文“Whatdoesitreallymeantobesuccessful?”及下文中的“Itisaboutbeingabletoliveahappylife”可知,此空应为成功的定义。G项指出:成功不只是金钱和名誉,符合上下文语境。2.C根据上文中的“AllsuccessfulpeoplefromGandhitoTeslabelievedinthemselves”可知,此空为:正是他们相信自己,才取得巨大成就。C项符合语境。3.E根据下文中的“Ifyourintentionissimplyrootedinmoneyandfame,you
32、arenevergoingtotrulyfeelsuccessful”可知,如果目标不正确,就不会觉得自己成功,因此上文提出:在讨论如何取得成功之前,首先要对人生的目标有正确的理解。E项符合语境。4.A根据下文中的“youllnoticetheamazingsuccessthatisalreadypresentinyourlife”可知,第三点建议为:要意识到你已经是成功的。A项符合语境。5.F根据上文的描述可知,停下脚步,你就会发现你所取得的成就。F项中Thatiswhen.呼应上文中的moment,此时此刻你会感受到真正的成功。三、1.illnesses考查名词复数。设空处做宾语,表示“疾
33、病”,由many可知,此处应用名词复数,故填illnesses。2.frequently考查副词。设空处做状语修饰谓语动词,表示“常常”,故填副词frequently。3.received考查一般过去时。由in1847可知,设空处表示的动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时,故填received。4.working考查动词-ing形式做状语的用法。Pasteur与work之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,且由While可知,work表示的动作与谓语动作同时发生,故填working。5.discovery考查名词。设空处做主语,表示“发现”,因为设空处前有限定词This,故填名词discovery。6.known考查过去分词做表语的用法。设空处做表语,which在此指代process,因为know与process之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故填known。7.that/which考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰disease,且在从句中做主语,故填that或which。8.to bury考查不定式做补语的用法。advisesbnottodosth意为“建议某人不做某事”。9.a考查不定冠词。success在此表示“成功的事”,是可数名词,且表泛指,故填a。10.to考查介词。devoteoneselfto.意为“献身于”。
