35、 writing doesnt come with any reward apart from the momentary satisfaction of finishing something.”可知,报告写作除了给作者带来该任务完成的片刻满足外没有任何回报。因此,作者不喜欢这种报告写作。2.B词义猜测题。本句意思为“我从未感觉过写报告这种文书工作会促进我的科研,而是在消耗我的时间和精力”。这和作者在首段中表达不喜欢这种工作意思一致。故此处sapping意为“消耗”。3.D细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“He advised me to think about doing something
36、 similar.”及上下句可知,是作者的一位委员会成员看到作者这种情况建议作者完成这种任务时给自己一个奖赏。故选D项。4.C推理判断题。全文作者通过自己的经历告诉我们,在遇到没有多大意义且无趣的工作任务时,我们可以通过给自己一点奖赏来激励自己完成该任务。作者从中受益匪浅。故选C项。【语篇导读】本文是新闻报道。美国纽约公园里打乒乓球的人们来自各行各业,他们在这里找到了社区精神。5.C推理判断题。根据第一段中的“a well-designed backyard feel,equipped with comfortable chairs,a fountain and some attractive
37、 pieces of grassland”可知,这里让游客感到非常舒适。6.A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These players of various ages,backgrounds and skill levels were strangers who became friends first,then family.”和第四段中的“They come to have fun,connect,relieve stress and feel alive.”可知,这是一个紧密联系的群体。7.C推理判断题。根据第四段中的“He always makes me feel better”和“Es
38、pecially when I was going through some tough times he would go out of his way to check on me.”可推断,Williams对Gideon满怀感激。8.B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“What began as a marketing tool for SPiN,a local ping-pong center”可知,在这个公园里设置乒乓球台的最初目的是宣传当地的一家乒乓球运动中心。.【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章阐述了使用思维导图可以辅助学习。1.A根据该空前的“youll need a study met
39、hod that can help you understand,summarise and memorise loads of information effectively and without wasting any study time”和下一段中的“A mind map is.”可知,该空提出了新的学习方法使用思维导图,A项符合此处语境。2.C根据该空前的“You can use mind maps to:study complex topics;brainstorm for a class presentation;summarise a book;or memorise lis
40、ts of foreign language vocabulary”可知,该空前介绍了思维导图在学习中的用处;再根据该空后的“they can help you plan your future career,choose the right university or weigh up your choices for a gap year”可知,该空是对后面信息的概括总结,说明思维导图在课堂之外仍然有效。C项符合此处语境。3.E根据该空后“But the opposite is true.”可知,该空提出的内容与该空后内容意义相反。E项中的“wastes a lot of study ti
41、me”与该空后的“which will save a lot of time for you”形成对比,指出思维导图看似浪费时间,其实却节约了时间。4.GG项中的“you dont have to go through pages of notes”与该空后的“you can see the entire topic on one page”意思一致,即思维导图可以使很多内容呈现在一张纸上,便于学习。5.D根据该空前的“for mind maps to work effectively,you have to be motivated to use them”可知,作者建议读者使用思维导图,这
42、样才能使思维导图有效。D项中的use和help与该空前的use和work effectively构成同义词复现。.【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章主要说明了什么是生活经验,以及生活经验对我们的积极影响。1.that考查关系词。设空处引导限制性定语从句修饰something,且在从句中作主语,故填that。2.and考查连词。between.and.是固定搭配,意为“和之间”。3.to get考查动词不定式作状语的用法。设空处作状语表目的,故填to get。4.faced考查过去分词作状语的用法。be faced with sth是固定搭配,意为“面对某事”,故填faced。此处省略了we are
