21、善的人能让人活得更久、更快乐。1答案与解析:A考查细节理解。根据第三段第二句“The book gets its title from a famous 1978 study of the relationship between cholesterol(胆固醇) and heart health in rabbits.”可知,兔子效应这本书的书名来自1978年所做的一项兔子中胆固醇和心脏健康的关系的研究,故A项正确。2答案与解析:D考查细节理解。根据第四段尾句“The stated purpose of the company is to cultivate a kinder world w
22、here everyone has a neighborhood they can depend on”可知,Nextdoor 的目的是建立一个更友善的世界,在那里每个人都有一个可以依靠的社区,故D项正确。3答案与解析:A考查词义猜测。根据第四段第二句可知,为了从一个比较积极的社交圈中得到健康好处,你不用扔掉你的设备,加入一个书友会;结合第三句“More casual interactions with neighbors, shop owners, and others you meet every day can do the trick.”可知,和邻居、商店店主以及你每天遇到的人较随意的
23、互动可以改善健康状况。故A项正确。4答案与解析:C考查推理判断。根据尾段Dr.Harding 所说的话“Be kind. Its actually pretty amazing.you never know the impact you have on somebody.”可知,Dr. Harding告诫人们要善良,他认为每个人都能让世界变得更美好、更友善、更健康,而且只需要付出很少;你永远不知道你对某个人的影响。据此可以推知,每一个小的善举都会有作用,故C项正确。B语篇类型:说明文主题语境:人与社会健康一天一万步【语篇解读】很多人都认为一天一万步有益于身体健康。科学家经过研究发现,这并不一定
24、。一万步对一些人来说太多了,而对另一些人来说太少了。5答案与解析:B考查代词指代。根据第一段中的“Dr. Greg Hager, professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, decided to take a closer look at that 10,000step rule”(约翰霍普金斯大学计算机科学教授Greg Hager博士决定进一步研究这条一万步法则)可知,他发现将每日一万步作为一种标准可能对许多人弊大于利,故答案为B。6答案与解析:D考查主旨大意。第二段主要介绍了每日一万步这一流行健康标准的起源,故答案为D。7答案与解析:C考
25、查细节理解。根据第三段内容可知,将一万步作为每天的标准对老年人和患病的人来说运动量过高,可能对他们有害;且同样的距离内,腿短的人比腿长的人更容易达到一万步的目标,所以一万步对有的人来说太多,而对另一些人来说太少。相对而言,一万步目标对健康的、腿长的人来说是比较合理的。故选C。8答案与解析:A考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“The study.Researchers found that women who took 4,400 steps per day were about 40% less likely to die during a followup period of just ove
26、r four years, compared to women who took 2,700 steps”(研究人员发现,与每天走2 700步的女性相比,每天走4 400步的女性在4年以上的随访期内死亡的可能性要低40%左右)可推断,研究人员可能建议老年人为了健康每天走4 400步,故答案为A。.完形填空语篇类型:记叙文主题语境:人与自然人生经历南极探险经历【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了作者通过面试,参加了一次南极探险,并充当探险队的队长。这次经历改变了作者的一生。在南极探险的时候,他经常反思并认真思考如何领导队伍,并最终成了一名畅销书作家和励志演说家。1答案与解析:A考查语境推断。结合语境可知,
27、作者不得不承认正是广告图片上的企鹅吸引了作者的注意。2答案与解析:C考查固定搭配。catch ones attention 为固定用法,意为“吸引某人的注意”。3答案与解析:C考查语境推断。结合上文中的“a job as a leader for an expedition(探险)to Antarctica”可知,此处表示寻找一个人来领导一支南极探险队。4答案与解析:B考查语境推断。根据空后的“isolated”和语境可知,此处指的是南极,南极是一个遥远且与世隔绝的地方。5答案与解析:B考查逻辑推断。根据空后面的“and then got a job”可知,作者参加了面试。6答案与解析:D考查
