39、anslation的介绍中“This classic won.numerous fans for its quiet brilliance describing the loneliness of travel.”可知,影片Lost in Translation因其展现了旅行中的孤独而吸引了众多观众。3.B推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“you can still explore the world with these travel-inspiring films.”可知,文章介绍了几部在家观看的旅行励志电影,应该是来自杂志的娱乐版面。【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者毕业时收到的
40、最好的礼物一把铁锹,回顾了其对于自己的意义。4.B推理判断题。文章的第一段提出了问题“Whats the best gift youve ever got?”,且作者在后文段落进行了详细回顾“the best gift Ive ever got”。由此可知,作者讲述机场经历是为了引出本文话题“the best gift Ive ever got”。5.A细节理解题。根据文章第三段的“That fall,I went off to college and that shiny new green-handled spade with the silver blade hung untouched
41、 on the wall in my parents garage.”可知,起初,这份礼物被挂在车库里的墙上。6.C细节理解题。根据文章第四段末尾内容“Its a reminder of my family,one proudly rooted in agriculture.Its a useful tool with a memorable message about staying close to the earth.Priceless!”可知,在作者看来,这把铁锹是无价之宝。7.D推理判断题。根据最后一段“.and though shes expecting nothing from
42、me,I have something valuable to give her before she moves away.Itll be wrapped of course,and itll be worth the weight in gold.”可知,作者将会把自己毕业时收到的最好毕业礼物铁锹作为毕业礼物送给自己的女儿。【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者来中国教英语的经历及其在教学过程中的一些心得体会,学生教会他如何能成为一个更加有爱心和耐心的人。8.A推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“For more than three years,I have been making mo
43、vements with the universe,traveling from location to location at seemingly random intervals.”可知,在作者来中国之前,他没有一份稳定的工作。9.A推理判断题。根据文章第二段中“Walking into my first class,I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldnt understand a single word out of my mouth.”可知,作者第一次见到他的学生,学生听不懂他说的话。由此推测当时的情况有点困难。10.D推理判断题
44、。根据第三段的第一句“Every class was not only a lesson in English,but in good fellowship,being a role model,being a parent,and being a friend.”以及后面的内容可知,作者是自我反思,并且对学生很体贴。11.B词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“.because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how to be a more loving and patient person.”可知,他在教学生的同时
45、,学生也教会了他敞开心扉,如何做一个更有爱心和耐心的人。由此推测,画线部分的单词意思为“相互的”。【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。在全球蜜蜂数量增长的情况下美国蜜蜂数量却下降,文章分析了其原因并提出了解决方案。12.D推理判断题。第二段中提及胡佛研究院的结论是“The reality is that honeybee populations are not declining.”,而自然资源保护委员会却指出“The number of managed honeybee colonies in the U.S.has dropped from 4 million hives in 1970 to 2
46、.5 million today.”。由此可知,两种截然相反的结论令人迷惑。13.C细节理解题。根据第三段中“And the global number of commercial hives and honey they produce has grown to meet the demands of an expanding world population.”可知,全球蜂群数量和蜂蜜产量的增长是为了满足扩大的世界人口对蜂蜜的需求。14.B细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Solutions will follow only if we take a non-subjective look at
47、 the issues”可知,作者认为应该客观看待蜜蜂数量问题。15.B主旨大意题。文章前两段引用两个结论相反的新闻提出主旨“在全球蜜蜂数量增长的情况下而美国蜜蜂数量却下降”,接下来分析了其原因并提出了解决方案,所以B项“蜜蜂数量下降还是没有?”最适合作本文标题。.【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了申请美国商学院研究生院的三个理由。1.E本句位于第一段最后,有启示下文的作用。且后文主要描述了申请美国商学院研究生院的三个理由。E选项“以下是申请美国商学院研究生院的三个理由。”符合上下文语境。2.B根据下文的“Part-time,online,or even accelerated pro
48、grams may be a better fit for you.”可知,除了全日制课程,还有兼职、在线等方式,故课程不局限于全日制课程。故B项“此外,课程不局限于全日制课程”符合上下文语境。3.D下文提到“调查结果显示,67%的美国科技公司和57%的咨询公司计划今年招聘或愿意招聘有意进入商学院的毕业生,这对那些商学院毕业后想在美国寻找工作机会的留学生来说是个好消息”。由此可知,攻读美国商学院研究生有助于就业,就业机会更多。故D选项“其次,美国现在有很多就业机会。”符合上下文语境。4.G下文提到“商学院硕士毕业生的平均起薪为11.5万美元,是学士学位毕业生5.5万美元的两倍多”可知,在美国学习毕业后工资更高,故G选项“如果赚更多的钱是你的动力,在美国学习是一个很好的选择。”符合上下文语境。5.A根据下文的“Start here with the school search tool to find the program that fits best for you.”可知,这里是在建议一种开始新旅程的选择,所以A项“想知道如何继续你的旅程吗?”符合上下文语境。
