21、部分的上文说的是“成为老树爱好者的代价之一就是经常失去”,画线部分的字面意思是“一个你喜爱的美丽灵魂”,又结合第一段最后一句“Manyvaluableoldtreesdied”即可推断,美丽的灵魂说的就是珍贵的老树,因此画线部分说的是对珍贵的老树的热爱,故D项正确。2答案与解析:C考查细节理解。根据题干中的“worriedabout”定位到第二段中的“Iheardfrommanypeopleconcernedabouttheirtrees”,根据该处的后两句可知,作者几乎无能为力的原因是“公共和私人城市树木资源和项目几乎完全是为了种树,而不是维护树木”,故C项正确。3答案与解析:B考查推理判断
22、。通读第三段可知,本段主要通过呈现研究发现说明了老树带给我们的好处,文中“Scientistsarelearningthat”和“Inarecentstudy, researchersfoundthat”是提示,故B项正确。4答案与解析:C考查推理判断。作者在最后一段提到我们想要树木保护我们,但我们却不保护它们,紧接着作者打了一个比方:人们生下婴儿后不可能对其不管不顾就期望婴儿能成功,孩子需要照料,我们就有了学校和儿童健康保险项目。由此可推知,作者提到照料婴儿是为了提倡像人类照顾婴儿那样保护树木,故C项正确。.七选五语篇类型:记叙文主题语境:人与自我改变自己走出舒适区,闯出新天地【语篇解读】本
23、文主要介绍了失业的Brian在太太的鼓励和支持下,创办了自己的咖啡店。实现了自己的梦想。1答案与解析:D考查上下文衔接。根据空前的“我们每天都在同一个家醒来,穿上同样的衣服,乘坐同样的交通工具去做同样的工作”可知,我们的生活总是一成不变;而空后一句“虽然人类坚持常规是非常自然的,但在我们的舒适区之外,还有很多东西等着我们去发现”则讲到了人们可以做出改变,因此空处讲到的应该是做出改变有多难,故D项符合语境。2答案与解析:G考查上下文衔接。根据空后一句“他知道很难再找到一份工作”可知,空处讲到的应该是他失业了,所以G项符合语境。3答案与解析:F考查上下文衔接。空前一段讲到了Brian失业之后失落的
24、状态,空后则讲到了他不愿无所事事,他的太太也鼓励他努力向前,所以F项“经过考虑,几周后他决定做出改变”符合语境。4答案与解析:A考查上下文衔接。上文讲到了Brian的太太鼓励他创造属于自己的事业,而空后一句则讲到了Brian在离家八个街区远的地方找到了他想要的东西一个现成的咖啡馆。据此可知,空处讲到的应该是做出改变的机会来了,故A项符合语境。5答案与解析:C考查上下文衔接。空前一句讲到了一个现成的咖啡馆表现不佳,老板也不愿意再干了,空后一句则讲到了但是他没有足够的钱面对这一天,所以空处讲到的应该是面前这个机会就是他想要的,故C项符合语境。.完形填空语篇类型:夹叙夹议文主题语境:人与自我做人与做
25、事杜绝不良“竞争”【语篇解读】有一次骑自行车时,我注意到前方不远处也有人在骑车。为了超过前面的人,我加快了骑车速度,之后虽然赶上了他,却错过了自己的转弯处。人生也是如此,不要总是关注和同事、邻居、朋友之间的竞争,总会有人比你有更好的工作、更多的钱、接受更多的教育。走好自己的路,人生本没有“竞争”。1答案与解析:B根据语境和第8空后的“Icaughtupwithhim”可知,我看到前面有一个骑自行车的人比我骑得慢,我决定追上他。2答案与解析:A根据下文“我”错过转弯处要原路返回可知,此处表示在转弯之前,我还要走大约一公里。3答案与解析:C根据上文可知,我想赶上前面骑自行车的人,所以我开始越骑越快
26、。4答案与解析:B根据下文第四段尾句中的“sixblocks”并结合常识可知,每经过一个街区,我都接近他一点。5答案与解析:D根据上文我渐渐接近他可知,几分钟后,我只距离他身后大约100码。6答案与解析:C根据语境可知,几分钟后,我只落后他100码左右,所以我加快了速度,给自己加把劲。pushoneself意为“给某人加把劲”。7答案与解析:A根据上文我追赶前面骑自行车的人的内容可知,此处表示你会以为我是在伦敦奥运会铁人三项赛的最后一段比赛中骑自行车。8答案与解析:D根据上文我努力加快骑车速度要赶上前面的人可知,此处表示我终于赶上并超过了他。9答案与解析:D根据上文可知,我终于赶上了他。据此可
27、推知,我感觉很好。10答案与解析:A根据语境可知,我是暗中加快速度超过一个偶然遇到的人,所以此处表示他不知道我们在比赛。A项意为“比赛”,故A项正确。11答案与解析:C根据语境和下文作者要原路返回可知,超过他后,我才意识到我太关注和他之间的竞赛,错过了拐弯的地方。12答案与解析:B参见上题解析。13答案与解析:D根据第四段第一句中的“focusedon”并结合语境可知,此处表示在生活中我们也是专注于与同事、邻居和朋友之间的竞争,试图证明我们更成功或更重要。14答案与解析:A参见上题解析。15答案与解析:C根据该句中的“ourtimeand”并结合常识可知,此处表示我们花费时间和精力追赶他人,而
28、错过了自己的未来之路。16答案与解析:A参见上题解析。17答案与解析:C根据该句中的“unhealthycompetition”和空后一句可推知,不良竞争的问题在于那无穷尽的循环。18答案与解析:B参见上题解析。19答案与解析:D根据该句中的“moremoneyandmoreeducation”可知,空处应为形容词比较级形式。此处表示总会有人在你的前面,他们有更好的工作、更多的钱、受过更多的教育等等。20答案与解析:B根据空后一句可知,参加你自己的赛跑,同时祝福别人;又结合本文的主题“竞争”可知,此处表示生活中没有竞争。.书面表达【范文赏读】DearSir,IamLiHua, aChinese
