24、st 16 when he was moved to clean up the oceans when he was on a dive and saw more plastic bags than fish.分析：这是一个主从复合句，When he was moved to . oceans为时间状语从句，when he was on a dive . fish为从句中的时间状语从句。译文：该组织的创立者叫Boyan Slat，是一位出生于1994年的发明家，他16岁那年，在一次潜水中，看到水中的塑料袋比鱼还多，于是不由得想去清理海洋。1C考查细节理解。根据题干的“发明这个垃圾收集器”，我们
25、把答案定位在第二段。该段说“The groups founder, Boyan Slat . when he was on a dive and saw more plastic bags than fish”，由此可知，当年16岁的Slat在海里潜水的时候，发现水里的塑料袋比鱼还多，这促使他决定清洁海洋，因此选C。2A考查细节理解。第三段说“Attached to it is a screening skirt that hangs three meters down in the water . through the water”，这种垃圾收集器的下面部分是一个屏障，能够延伸到水下三米的
26、地方，并且在水中移动的同时收集塑料，因此选A。3B考查代词指代。从画线词所在的语境看，这里的it指前面提到的清洁系统，也就是悬浮屏障，因此选B。4C考查推理判断。最后一段提到Slat说的话“Its important to turn off the taps on plastic entering the ocean, but I also think people can do more than one thing at a time to deal with this problem”，即他认为重要的是关掉塑料进入海洋的龙头，由此推断他认为关键是不让塑料进入海洋。.七选五体裁：说明文题材
27、：人际关系主题：怎样舒服地度假【语篇解读】很多人都盼望假期，假期可以让人们休息，让人们出门游玩。但是假期中参加社会活动、购物、招待亲朋好友等诸多事务可能会令人们压力很大。本文对此给出了一些建议。1E空前讲述的是假期的好处(休息几天，短暂度假)，空后讲述的是假期中的活动给人们带来的困扰。故可推断，该空应填转折句。E项句意“但是假期也可能是一段充满压力的时间。”符合语境。故选E项。2A根据空后的句意“这意味着你最终可能会出现经济压力。”并结合选项可反向推出，A项(度假和花钱是密不可分的)符合逻辑。故选A项。3G根据空前信息可知，如果你有太多事情要做，那么这个假期你会感到有压力。再结合选项可知，G项
28、(如果你举办派对招待远道而来的朋友的话，这个假期你绝对有压力)符合逻辑，其中的This指代空前的情况，上下文紧密衔接。故选G项。4B根据空前信息可知，假期并不总是真正放松的，有时可能意味着忙得发晕，让你无法独处。再结合设空后休息15分钟的建议可推知，该空应建议独处或休息一下。B项(所以记得要给自己留点时间)符合语境。故选B项。5C根据空前信息可知，家人因性格不同可能会有摩擦，如果把别人所说的每句话都放在心上，就会心力交瘁。故可推知，该空应提出应对这种情况的办法。C项(保留自己的不同看法，求同存异)和空后的“不要让他人的行为夺走你的快乐。”前后连贯。故选C项。.完形填空体裁：记叙文主题语境：人与
29、自然人与动物接触大象的一次危险经历【语篇解读】去年七月，“我”预约了为期两周的冒险在泰国的一个大象保护区当志愿者；在保护区的第一天，“我”在驯象人的指引下，骑坐大象，与大象近距离接触。第二天黄昏时分要朝河走去时，大象不动，驯象人用象钩打它。大象开始发怒，将“我”掀翻在地并用脚踩“我”。幸得驯象人的帮助，“我”得以逃生。这种温顺的动物发怒，源于人类对它们的残酷对待。如何让它们和人类和谐相处，是我们需要思考的问题。1B根据该句中的“weight training”可知，为了准备这次旅行，我开始进行举重训练。B项意为“开始从事”，符合语境，故B项正确。A项意为“继续做”；C项意为“抛弃，放弃”；D项
30、意为“延迟”。2A根据该句中的“the elephants for tourism were the ones to”，并结合破折号后的内容可知，此处表示要小心旅游区的大象，因为它们遭受了多年虐待，变得性情无常，有时很危险。A项意为“小心，当心”，故A项正确。3D参见上题解析。D项意为“虐待”，故D项正确。4C根据第一段第一句中的“volunteering at a Thai elephant sanctuary(禁猎区)”可知，作者飞往曼谷之后，便前往大象保护区；故C项正确。5B根据该句中的“to my designated elephant”可知，“我”由驯象人引见给指定的大象，B项意为“
31、介绍，引见”，故B项正确。6C根据下文陈述的驯象人教“我”如何用脚控制大象并发出让大象停止、行走的指令并结合该句中的“my tasks were”可推知，驯象人向“我”说明了“我”的任务，该处使用了被动语态，C项意为“解释，说明”，故C项正确。7D根据该句中的“feeding her bananas”可知，“我”给大象喂食香蕉；据此可推知，“我”试图赢得大象的信任；D项意为“信任”，故D项正确。8A根据下文“showing me how to use my feet . to make her stop”可知，此处表示驯象人陪伴着“我”；A项意为“陪伴”，故A项正确。9B根据该句中的“show
32、ing me how to use my feet”可知，驯象人教“我”如何用脚控制大象；B项意为“控制”，故B项正确。10A根据该句中的“to make her stop or”可知，空处与stop相对应，表示驯象人教“我”使大象停止或者前进的指令。11C根据该句中的“the sharp bullhooks were still used”，并结合下文介绍的由于使用象钩，大象开始富于攻击性可知，不幸的是，“我”发现驯象人仍然在使用象钩。C项意为“不幸地”，符合语境，故C项正确。12B根据该句中的“followed the same”可知，第二天也是相同的模式，B项意为“模式”，故B项正确。1
33、3D根据上文可知，驯象人用象钩击打大象；结合该句中的“shake her head”和常识可知，大象开始猛烈地摇头；D项意为“猛烈地”，故D项正确。14C根据该句中的“the danger”以及下文中的”I couldnt breathe at all”可知，“我”还没有意识到危险，她巨大的脚便向“我”的胸部碾压过来(呼吸和胸部联系紧密)；C项意为“意识到”，故C项正确。15A参见上题解析。16D结合该句“I could only hear the _16_ of the mahout”可知，此时“我”处在危险中，只能听到驯象人的叫喊声；D项意为“叫喊”，故D项正确。17C根据该句“He he
34、lped to pull her foot off me and _17_ my life”可知，他帮助把大象的脚拖走，挽救了“我”的生命；C项意为“挽救”，故C项正确。18B根据该句中的“was dragged to safety”可知，当大象抬起腿时，“我”得以滚动，被拉到了安全的地方。B项意为“翻滚，滚动”，故B项正确。19A根据上文可知，“我”脱离了危险；结合该句内容可知，“我”欣慰得痛哭流涕；故A项正确。20D根据上文表述的大象攻击“我”并结合语境可知，接下来的几天，“我”躺在医院里，思考这样的问题：为什么这些温顺的动物如此好斗？D项意为“好斗的”，故D项正确。.书面表达【范文赏读】
