34、woodworking project”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词“a different area of woodworking”，that在从句中作主语，“needed for any woodworking project”作skills的后置定语。 译文：每节课都会探讨木工手艺的一个不同的领域，它将会给你提供任何木工手艺项目所需要的技巧。1D考查细节理解。根据Computer Studies部分中的“an understanding of computer fundamentals”可知，该课程提供计算机的基础内容；从Woodwork部分中的“the basics of wo
35、odworking”可知，该课程提供木工手艺的基础内容，故选D。2C考查细节理解。根据Web Design部分中的“Students completing the course will receive the Diploma in Advanced Web Design”可知，该课程会给完成课程的学生颁发结业证书，另外三门课程均未提到颁发证书，故C项符合题意。3B考查细节理解。根据Woodwork部分中的“Time: Mon. 5pm7pm”可知，该课程每周一开一次课；根据该部分中的“$ 30 per lesson”可知，每次课程要花费30美元；根据该部分中的“Length: 12 week
36、s”可知，该课程持续12周，即12次课。由此可知，上全部课程需要$ 3012$ 360，上一半的课程需要180美元。4C考查细节理解。文章第一段描述了人们在公共场所不交流的现象，本段中的“uncomfortable silence”与选项C中的“Absence of communication”相呼应。5B考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them”可知，Carducci认为成功闲聊的关键在于学会如何与
37、他人沟通。6D考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段第三句“The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience”可推知，闲聊使得人们感觉很好，故选D项。7C考查主旨大意。通读全文可知，文章主要讨论了闲聊在人际交往中的重要作用，故C项作本文标题最佳。【语篇解读】本文是说明文。人们普遍认为在潮湿的环境下蚊子更易叮人和传播疾病，但是一项新的研究发现干旱环境下蚊子更易叮人。【长难
38、句分析】A new study finds that dehydrated mosquitoes are more aggressive, land more often on hosts and feed more frequently than those with ready access to water.句式分析：that. access to water是that引导的宾语从句，作谓语finds的宾语；宾语从句中的are more aggressive, land more often on hosts和feed more frequently是三个并列的谓语成分，用来补充说明脱水
39、的蚊子的行为；than后跟的是宾语从句中的主语dehydrated mosquitoes的比较对象。句意：一项新的研究发现，脱水的蚊子比那些随时可以获得水的蚊子更有攻击性，更经常地降落在人身上，叮人的频率也更高。8B考查细节理解。根据第三段第一句中的“researchers have long thought that wetter conditions lead to more mosquitoborne illnesses”可知，过去研究人员认为蚊子在潮湿的环境下更易叮人，故选B项。9D考查细节理解。根据第五段第一句中的“His laboratory became interested i
40、n the effect of dehydration on mosquitoes feeding behavior by accident”可知，以前的研究巧合地让他们对这个项目产生了兴趣，故选D项。10B考查推理判断。根据第七段内容可以看出，研究人员对有水环境下的蚊子和无水环境下的蚊子的叮人频率进行了比较，故可推断出，他们是通过比较数据才得出最后结论的，故选B项。11A考查主旨大意。根据第二段第一句可知，新研究发现脱水的蚊子更易叮人；根据第三段最后一句(贝努瓦和他的同事的发现有助于解决这些与常识相悖的问题。)可知，新的发现挑战了传统认识，故选A项。.阅读七选五【语篇解读】泛泛之交仅会陪伴你
41、简短的时间，不能共患难的朋友仅在形势好的时候讨好你，只有真正的朋友会与你同甘共苦。他们在你经历困难时总是站在你身旁，绝不抓住你的过去不放，愿意为你付出。1F根据上文可知，泛泛之交与你有共同点，仅会短时间陪伴你；同甘不共苦的朋友会在情况良好时讨好你；根据空后一句可知，他们绝不会做如下的事情(即下文中的不与你同患难等)。据此可推知，空处表述的内容与上文陈述的泛泛之交和同甘不共苦的朋友的行为作对比，陈述真正的朋友的行为，故F项正确。2C通读该段可知，真正的朋友不会在你困难时离开；由空前一句可知，当你处于困难时期时，要看看周围的人；据此可推知，在困难时期仍然站在你身边的人才是你真正的朋友，C项与此处匹
42、配。3D根据空后一句可知，相反，他们帮助你补救当前和未来；据此可知，空处应是陈述真正的朋友的行为，即真正的朋友从来不会抓住你不可改变的过去不放，故D项正确。4G根据该段前两句可知，真正的朋友绝不装作什么都知道；根据空后一句可知，真正的朋友是当你需要片刻时间思考时默默地坐在你身边的人。据此可推知，G项“然而，你将很快意识到他们不是试图解决你所有问题的人”符合语境，衔接上下文。5B根据文章结构和空处所在位置可知，空处为该段的主题句；根据上文每段第一句可知，该处应为祈使句；根据该段尾句可知，真正的朋友会想去付出。据此可知，该段主要陈述真正的朋友不是从你那里一味地索取，故B项正确。- 9 - 版权所有高考资源网
