25、第二段中的“I heard from many people concerned about their trees”，根据该处的后两句可知，作者几乎无能为力的原因是“公共和私人城市树木资源和项目几乎完全是为了种树，而不是维护树木”，故C项正确。3答案与解析：B考查推理判断。通读第三段可知，本段主要通过呈现研究发现说明了老树带给我们的好处，文中“Scientists are learning that”和“In a recent study, researchers found that”是提示，故B项正确。4答案与解析：C考查推理判断。作者在最后一段提到我们想要树木保护我们，但我们却不保护它
26、们，紧接着作者打了一个比方：人们生下婴儿后不可能对其不管不顾就期望婴儿能成功，孩子需要照料，我们就有了学校和儿童健康保险项目。由此可推知，作者提到照料婴儿是为了提倡像人类照顾婴儿那样保护树木，故C项正确。.七选五语篇类型：记叙文主题语境：人与自我改变自己走出舒适区，闯出新天地【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了失业的Brian在太太的鼓励和支持下，创办了自己的咖啡店。实现了自己的梦想。1答案与解析：D考查上下文衔接。根据空前的“我们每天都在同一个家醒来，穿上同样的衣服，乘坐同样的交通工具去做同样的工作”可知，我们的生活总是一成不变；而空后一句“虽然人类坚持常规是非常自然的，但在我们的舒适区之外，还有很多
27、东西等着我们去发现”则讲到了人们可以做出改变，因此空处讲到的应该是做出改变有多难，故D项符合语境。2答案与解析：G考查上下文衔接。根据空后一句“他知道很难再找到一份工作”可知，空处讲到的应该是他失业了，所以G项符合语境。3答案与解析：F考查上下文衔接。空前一段讲到了Brian失业之后失落的状态，空后则讲到了他不愿无所事事，他的太太也鼓励他努力向前，所以F项“经过考虑，几周后他决定做出改变”符合语境。4答案与解析：A考查上下文衔接。上文讲到了Brian的太太鼓励他创造属于自己的事业，而空后一句则讲到了Brian在离家八个街区远的地方找到了他想要的东西一个现成的咖啡馆。据此可知，空处讲到的应该是做
28、出改变的机会来了，故A项符合语境。5答案与解析：C考查上下文衔接。空前一句讲到了一个现成的咖啡馆表现不佳，老板也不愿意再干了，空后一句则讲到了但是他没有足够的钱面对这一天，所以空处讲到的应该是面前这个机会就是他想要的，故C项符合语境。.完形填空语篇类型：夹叙夹议文主题语境：人与社会人际交往警察人性化处理一起涉嫌偷窃事件【语篇解读】讲述三名警官人性化处理一起涉嫌偷窃事件的故事。1答案与解析：D根据首句中“the temperature approached as high as 90 F last July 4th”和生活常识判断，由于气温高，所以警官们是进店买冷饮的。2答案与解析：B根据“Th
29、e woman in question”以及下文警官们在这个女子的包里发现的食品可知，她是被怀疑的。suspected“被怀疑的，涉嫌的”。3答案与解析：A根据下文这个女子有行窃行为且当场被抓，满脸泪水可判断，她很害怕。4答案与解析：D根据第二段中“Im hungry”以及“Well pay for her food”判断，这个女子包里是食物。5答案与解析：D根据后一句中“Caught redhanded”，即当场被抓住可知，这个女子很无助地解释。此处helplessly意为“无能为力地，无助地”。6答案与解析：A根据上文情节以及“Caught redhanded”可知，这个女子毫无疑问会被当
30、作小偷。7答案与解析：C根据下文警官为这个女子的食物付钱判断，此处表示警官有其他想法。idea意为“想法，构思，主意”。8答案与解析：B根据第一段中“they were asked by a security guard to help with a _2_ woman”以及情节发展可知，保安原本以为这个女子会被当成小偷，因此警官的做法让他感到诧异。9答案与解析：A警官为她的食物付了钱，她不会被拘捕了。arrest“逮捕”。10答案与解析：D根据第一段中“and her cheeks were wet with tears”可知，此处表示这个女子擦干了湿润的脸颊。11答案与解析：B根据上文情节
31、判断，警官的做法应该出于同情，此处表示她并不是唯一一个被这种同情行为感动的人。12答案与解析：C根据“She wasnt the only one touched by this act of”以及下文可知，此处表示这家商店的顾客对他们所看到的事印象深刻，甚至有人在网上发布了一张照片。witness意为“目击，亲眼看见”。13答案与解析：A根据语境可知，上下文为转折关系，表示“然而，警官们从来都不想引起注意”。14答案与解析：D此处表示他们被一种更为普遍的情感所驱使。drive意为“驱使，迫使”。15答案与解析：C根据句意并结合上文情节可知，当我们看着别人的脸并清楚他们需要我们的时候，作为一个
