57、cover”以及画线句子中的“hard work.has paid off”可推断Sir Albert Howard在有机农业研究和种植方面是成功的。2.细节理解题。根据优点中第二点的uses half energy、第四点的environmentally friendly 和does no harm to humans health可知a、c、e三项都是有机农业胜于传统农业的地方,故选C。3.作者观点题。根据末段的“Organic agriculture is surely better in the long term.”可知作者对有机农业的未来充满信心。4.作者意图题。通读全文,可知作者
58、主要告诉了我们什么是有机农业以及其优缺点,故选D。 2答案及解析：答案：1.B; 2.A; 3.C解析：1.推理判断题。由第八段可推知,这位老人想在临终前再看看这座生活了一辈子的城市。2.推理判断题。由第八段可知,老人已没有任何亲人活在世上,而且要离开人世,这说明老人的生活很凄惨。第九段讲出租车司机“悄悄地伸出手关掉计价器”。由此可推知,司机很同情老人,想给她一点帮助。3.推理判断题。本文主要讲述了一位好心司机帮助一位孤寡老人的事情,即一次善意的行为能够给别人带来很大的快乐。文章最后一句也印证了这一点。 3答案及解析：答案：1.D; 2.C; 3.B; 4.B解析：1.细节理解题.通过全文第一
59、段Increasingtheirintakeofgreensby2.9 portionsadaywasfoundtomakethepersonlookmorehealthyandanextra3.3portionscouldenhancetheirattractiveness,whentheirphotographswereratedbyothers.可知,调查者对35个人加量食用水果,从一开始到第三个星期,一直到第六个星期后,各个阶段都用高灵敏度的照相机对他们的皮肤进行拍照比照,所以选D.2.细节理解题.根据文中第二段Fruitandvegetablesarerichincarotenoid
60、s(类胡萝卜素),whichareknowntoprotectagainstcelldamagefrompollutionandUVrays,andcanalsopreventagerelateddiseasesincludingheartdiseaseandcancer.可知,类胡萝卜素能保护免受污染和UV射线的损害,同时能防止与年龄相关疾病的发生,如心脏病和癌症,并未提到C项,所以选C.3.细节理解题.根据文中第二段倒数第一、二句Butwhileitwasknowneatingextremeamountsofcertainvegetablessuchascarrotscouldturnsk
61、inorange,itwasnotknownasmallincreasewasperceptible(被觉察)toothersandwasseenasappealing.可知,人们知道吃极其大量的某种蔬菜,例如像胡萝卜能让我们皮肤变黄,人们并不知道少量吃点胡萝卜也会被别人看出,并且效果也不错,所以B项与原文不符.4.主旨大意题.根据文中第一段第一、二句Youknoweatingfruitandvegetablesdoesgood.Butdoyouknowitcanalsomakeyoulookgood?可知,吃水果和蔬菜不但对身体有益,而且让人看起来肤色更好.下文又着重讲了吃水果、蔬菜对皮肤的
62、影响,所以选B. 4答案及解析：答案：1.A; 2.D; 3.C; 4.C解析： 5答案及解析：答案：G; D; F; A; B解析：考查上下文串联。第一句Everyone knows that fish is good for health.是总写,But表示转折,说明but前面一句是对第一句的解释,G项“鱼中的脂肪有助于预防心脏病”符合语境,故选G。考查上下文串联。题目前一句“Buying, storing, and cooking fish isnt difficult.”可知,购买,存放和烧鱼并非难事,再根据后面一句可知,文章主要介绍了买鱼和烧鱼的简单知识,D项“这仅仅需要一点知识”符
63、合语境,此题容易与C项混淆,C项后面应该直接跟烧鱼的方法,即C项与后一句重复,故选D。考查上下文串联。根据Fresh fish should smell sweet可知,本段讲的是买鱼的时候要闻一下鱼的气味,故选F。考查上下文串联。根据前一句Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isnt fresh.可知,带有强烈的味道的鱼都不是新鲜的,不应该买这样的鱼,A项与后句联系紧密,故选A。考查上下文串联。根据Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot可知,本段介绍的是蒸鱼的方法,故选B
64、。 6答案及解析：答案：1.A; 2.C; 3.D; 4.C; 5.A; 6.B; 7.B; 8.C; 9.D; 10.C; 11.B; 12.D; 13.D; 14.B; 15.B; 16.A; 17.D; 18.A; 19.C; 20.A解析：1.本文作者带孙女寻祖,来到了祖先居住了两百年的地方,这里也是作者和丈夫出生之地,以此为切入点,作者回忆了儿时的幸福生活。通过文章第一句话中的the fog is lifting now(现在雾正在散去)可以判断,“海滨村庄正在一个接一个地浮现出来。2.联系空后的across the bay(横跨过海湾)以及介词to可以判断,此处表示“我用手指着远方
65、的那个破旧的房子”。 point to是固定搭配,表示“指向(远方的事物)”。3.联系前文驱车从遥远的地方来到故乡以及后文描述的“我”对故乡过去种种回忆的内容,可知“我”来这里是追寻过去的“珍贵”记忆。shared共享的;short短暂的;fresh新鲜的; treasured 珍贵的。4.根据此空前的one of the mobile children可知此处强调Lise小时候是个流动儿童,再根据空后的from house to house可以判断,此处move与语境相符合。5.联系空后的“因此我们(我和Lise)来到了我和 我的丈夫出生的地方(暗指回到了故乡以及短文最后“we must a
66、ll go home again.”可知,此空应该强调“Lise渴望有个真正的家”。6.联系上文我们知道,Nova Scotia是“我和我丈夫出生的地方故可推知这里也是我们的祖辈“生活”过的地方。7.联系短文第一句“我们整个上午一直在大雾中开车”可推知此处表示“我们在那个破旧的房子跟前停下了车”。故pull up表示“使(车)停下”,符合语境。catch up赶上;step down让位;辞职;come down下来;败落;倒塌。8.联系空后的“swift as the tide”可知,此空用rushing最为合适,表示“记忆如潮水般快速涌回脑海”。9.联系7空后的by the house以及
67、11空前的go into the house可推知此处表示“我渴望再一次走进曾经见证我美好成长史的房子”。10.根据空后a member of the family可推知房子和家人构成的是所属关系,即“虽然这座房子仍为我们家庭中的一个成员所拥有,但已经好久没有人居住了”。adapt to适应;appeal to 吸引; belong to 属于; occur to 发生 ,出现。11.根据walk与空后的rooms的逻辑关系可知此处表示“穿过房间”,故选B。12.由本句中“wrote in her diary ”可推知母亲当时是“坐在”卧室的窗边写日记。13.根据上下文可知此处仍然是描写作者的
68、回忆,即 “我仍然能够回想起当时热忱的家人进进出出的情景”。形容人又多又拥挤时,常用pour 词,表示“涌入/涌出”。march into 长驱直入;look into朝里面看;调查;break into闯入。14.联系空前描述的内容可知,“我”的这些记忆都是很珍贵、很难忘的,所以“我从未对和他们生活在一起而感到厌烦过”。be with sb.表示“和某人在一起”,符合上下文语境。15.根据后文“当我在讲述的时候”可知与talk对应的就是listen。此处强调Lise听得非常专注。16.因为上下文多次提到roots, house这样的字眼,作者意在突出“寻宗觅源”之意,故可知此空强调Lise意
69、识到了自己的根就在这里,即:她是从这里开始了自己的生命旅程。17.只有found词与3空前的seeking roots for her(寻找她的家族之根)遥相呼应,表示Lise终于“找到了自己的根”。18.根据上下文作者所表达的情感来看,“知道我从哪里来”应该是每个人“心底”最伟大的渴望之一。right权利; interest 兴趣;behavior 行为。19.因为此空前已经提到了“have an origin”,所以此处应该用that origin与之相呼应,表示强调和特指的意味。20.纵览全文,把握作者主要写作意图可知,“我”通过记叙与孙女一起“寻宗觅源”的经历就是要证明一点:“知道自己
70、是谁,知道自己来自哪里”,而后才能真正理解“I”这一个词所蕴含的深层“意义”。meaning意思,意义;expression表达;表情; connection 联系;background 背景。 7答案及解析：答案：actively; the; on; doing; who/that; to succeed; is said; helpful; dealt/ should deal; messages解析：1. actively考查副词。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰谓语动词, 故要用副词形式actively。2.the考查冠词。此处的“study”就是上文提到的那个“study”，故用定冠词th
71、e表示特指。3.on考査介词。根据固定搭配spend time on sth.可知,此处填介词on。4.doing考査非谓语动词。根据语境可知,这里说的是“停止做某事”,而不是“停下来去做另件事故用stop doing sth。5.who/that考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中引导定语从句,先行词为kids,关系代词在从句中作主语,因此本空填who/that。6.to succeed 考查非谓语动词。此处是be likely to do sth.句型,故填不定式。7.is said考査时态和语态。本句含有“be said+动词不定式”结构, 且这里说的是现在的一般情况,主语为Per
72、sonal happiness,因此填 is said。8.helpful考查形容词。本空应填形容词helpful与kind并列。9.dealt/should deal 考査虚拟语气。Its time (that) .句型中,that 从句要用虚拟语气,即从句谓语用一般过去式或“should+do”.其中should不可以省略。10. messages考查名词复数。message是数名词,其前没有冠词,故要用其复数形式。 8答案及解析：答案：The teenage from 13 to 19 were the most difficult time for me . They were als
73、o the best and years in my life . At first, I thought I knew everything and could make decisions by . However, my parents didnt seem to think . They always me what to do and how to do it.

74、independent by strange clothes. Now I am leaving home college. At last, I will be on my own, but I still want to have my parents to turn to whenever need help.解析：1.yearyears考查名词复数。13-19年是复数概念,year是可数名词,故把year改为years。 2.worseworst考查形容词最高级。根据前句“13-19岁是最困难的时期”可知,应该使用最高级; and表并列,根据best可知, and连接了两个最高级,故把
75、worse改为worst。3.the去掉,考查冠词。at first起初,是固定词组,不需要冠词,故把the去掉。4.yourselfmyself考查反身代词。句意:我认为我什么都知道,可以自己拿主意了。这里指作者自己做决定,根据主语I可知,应该用myself,故把yourself改为myself。5.suchso考查so/such的用法。 my parents didnt seem to think so我的父母似乎不这样认为,so指代上一句的内容,故把such改为so。6.telltold考查时态。通篇回忆过去的事情,使用的一般过去时,故把tell改为told。7.freelyfree考查
76、形容词副词。be后跟形容词构成系表结构,be free from.摆脱.,不受.的影响,故把freely改为free。8.wearwearing考查固定搭配,by是介词,意为“通过”,后跟名词/代词或动名词,故把wear改为wearing。9. tofor考查介词。leave sb for sb离幵某地前往另一地,college是目的地,故把to改为for。10. whenever后加I考查状语从句。whenever引导让步状语从句,意为“无论何时,随时,从句缺少主语,根据句意可知,这里指“我”需要父母的帮助,故在whenever后加I。9、答案： The mouse is a most ef
77、fective device used by people to communicate with a computer. For most people, its almost impossible to operate a computer without a mouse, let alone surf the Internet. A well-chosen mouse is really handy, flexible and convenient in controlling the screen. With the functions of inserting, deleting,
78、moving and copying, it enables us to edit texts, browse web pages and download what we want. Clicking it gently, you can easily succeed in receiving and sending emails and doing shopping online. It can even bring us different kinds of music, movies and PC games. Just imagine, all this can be done wi
