41、e-off lecture of 3 hours”可知,基础数学这门课时长约三个小时,而其他三门课程都要多于这个时间。【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了造成当前青少年获取驾驶证比例下降的种种原因。4.D词义猜测题。根据前两段内容可知:几十年前,年满16周岁的孩子迫不及待地想拿到驾驶证;而现在,许多青少年却一拖再拖。由此可见,画线单词应该是“相反、反而”之意,在此表示转折关系。5.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He says that the change is rooted in the growth of access to the Internet.Modern teens can
42、connect with each other through social media,so theres less of a need to get together by driving to some places.”可知,在Sivak看来,青少年如今更多地借助网络进行互联,驾车出行的比例下降。6.C写作手法题。根据最后一段中的$60,000,60%和72%以及$20,000,only 16%和25% 这些数据可知,作者在本段主要通过提供数据的方式对青少年获取驾驶证比例下降这一现象进行了说明。7.D主旨大意题。总览全文可知,作者主要分析了当前青少年获取驾驶证比例下降的一些主要原因,比如

44、udents level,it builds a high sense of responsibility,and it gives him pressure that will be useful for him later in his life.”可知,这一段讲述了支持考试的人的观点,即考试不应该被废除,故C项符合此处语境。3.F该空为这一段的总结句,F项中的so有总结之意,且F项指出他们把考试看成自我检测,故F项符合此处语境。4.GG项与该空前一句为并列关系,与该空后一句“It is unfair to him.”相互呼应,指出了不应该用一天的表现来判定学生的好坏,这对他们不公平。5.
45、D根据该空后的“I say doing projects during the year,giving grades for participation after every lesson,and having weekly assessment are the best solutions to this debate.”可知,作者建议学校全年做课题,记录学生平时的表现并给予每周的评价,即全年定期进行测评,故D项符合此处语境。.【语篇导读】本文是夹叙夹议文。作者在当地的一家锯木厂上班,这份工作既累人还有点危险。但为了养家糊口,有些像作者一样的人还是不得不在这里上班。一个普通的工作日,厂房里

47、工作(working),去寻找那头小鹿。6.B那头小鹿为了寻找出口而疯狂地(madly)四处乱跑。7.C大多数人在秋季还是会捕猎(hunt)一些鹿,但其他季节还是非常善待它们的。8.B根据转折关系和后面叙述工人们帮助小鹿的行为可知,人们是友好(kindness)的对待鹿。9.D因为上面的解释,所以我们所有人都迅速行动一起合作帮助小鹿获得自由也就不足为奇了。特殊句型“It is no wonder that.”表示“难怪”。10.A通过封锁住(blocking off)其他路线,我们就可以指导小鹿找到进来的口。11.B我们看到小鹿跳跃着跑出建筑物(building)进入了树林。12.C工人们返回
48、继续工作的时候,作者注意(noticed)到了不一样的情况。13.A每个人脸上都有了笑容(smile),这和之前工作时的表情完全不一样。14.D好像这一简单的善举给我们带来了无限能量。名词短语act of kindness表示“善举”。15.D这一善举也使我们想到(remind)了生活的真正意义所在。.【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了美丽的布鲁塞尔。1.for考查介词。be famous for.意为“以而闻名”。2.visitors考查名词复数。visitor是可数名词且在此表泛指,又因为其前无冠词,故填名词复数形式visitors。3.Being考查动词-ing形式作状语的用法。设
