5、d. In Juans world, each village could have its own moon. In Juans world, the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous. Anything was possible.In our society, we know that Earth has only one moon. We have looked at our planet from every angle and found all of the wildest things left to find. I

At least it seems that way.Yet, as I thought about Juans question, I was not sure how much more we could really rule out. I am, in part, an
7、 ant biologist, so my thoughts turned to what we know about insect life and I knew that much in the world of insects remains unknown. How much, though? How ignorant (无知的) are we?

9、d I wondered whether there were bigger discoveries out there, not just species, but life that depends on things thought to be useless, life even without DNA.I started a third drawer for these big discoveries. It fills more slowly, but all the same, it fills.In looking into the stories of biological
10、discovery, I also began to find something else, a collection of scientists, usually brilliant occasionally half-mad, who made the discoveries. Those scientists very often see the same things that other scientists see, but they pay more attention to them, and they focus on them to the point of exhaus
11、tion (穷尽), and at the risk of the ridicule of their peers. In looking for the stories of discovery, I found the stories of these people and how their lives changed our view of the world.We are repeatedly willing to imagine we have found most of what is left to discover. We used to think that insects

We couldnt have felt more foreign.”可知，我们不会说当地的语言，不了解当地的风俗习惯，而且往往我们不能完全认识食物，我们感觉非常陌生。由此可知，作者一到达亚马逊感觉格格不入。故选A项。2.细节理解题。根据第三段“Everyone knew th
18、e rules. We all spoke the same language of passes and shots. We understood one another perfectly.”可知，每个人都知道规则，在传球和射门方面，我们说着同样的语言，彼此非常了解。由此可知，踢球时他们的彼此理解使得他们的亚马逊夜晚很美好。故选C项。3.推理判断题。根据第四段“In Juans world, the unknown and undiscovered was vast and marvelous.”可知，在胡安的世界里，未知的东西和未被发现的东西是浩瀚而神奇的。由此判断，胡安对这个世界知之甚
19、少。故选B项。4.推理判断题。根据第七段“I began collecting newspaper articles about new species, new spider.,and on and on they appear, my drawer quickly filled, I began a second drawer for more general discoveries: new cave system discovered with dozens of nameless species .I started a third drawer for these big disc

31、hecked out from the library.(我一直是一个热情的读者，孩提时，有时候每天读多达三本书。故事对我来说就像空气，而其他孩子则打球或参加聚会。我通过从图书馆借阅来的书籍经历冒险)可推断，作者小时候与书是密不可分的。故选C。8.词句猜测题。根据上文As I grew older and became a mother可知，我长大了成了一位母亲，结合下文I had several children and books were our main source (来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up
32、and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them(我有几个孩子，书是我们娱乐的主要来源。对于我们来说，坐上车去当地的图书馆是件大事，在那里我的孩子们可以挑选要阅读的书或者想让我给他们读的书)可推断，作者成了母亲以后，带着孩子去图书馆，孩子挑选书籍来阅读，或者作者读给他们听，因此可知图书馆在作者的生活中又增添了新的意义，阅读的乐趣在家庭中代代相传”。故选B。9.细节理解题。根据最后一段的I think all writers

34、大意题。纵观全文可知，文章讲述了作者是一名热情地读者，孩提时喜欢阅读，工作在图书馆。有了孩子以后，一家人去图书馆读书，阅读的习惯代代传承下去，作为小说家，作者呼吁其他作家支持图书馆，宣传图书馆。因此推断全文围绕“作者对图书馆的爱”展开讲述。故D项“我对图书馆的爱”为最佳标题。故选D。3.（2016年，全国卷I）Grandparents Answer a CallAs a thirdgeneration native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away.Even when her daughter and
35、 son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had i
36、n separate cities.No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing.Even President Obamas mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White H
37、ouse to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by , 83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinsons decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Twothirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family.“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get
38、 away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when youre raising children.”Moving is not for everyone. A
39、lmost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead.Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be

43、关于人与社会问题的报道类夹叙夹议文。通过描述部分祖父母选择搬去和孩子们生活在一起，以便为孩子们提供帮助，引发更多人的选择与思考。11.细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.”可知这次搬家给他们带来了更紧密的家庭联系。故选A。12.细节理解题。根据第二段结尾处“.83 percent of the people said Mrs. R
44、obinsons decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family.”可知83%的人认为Mrs. Robinson的决定会影响美国家庭，2/3的人相信更多家庭会效仿，所以“多数人认为这是一种趋势”。故选D。13.推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home
45、 far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”可知那时的人们一心希望离家越远越好、越快越好。本题出错主要原因在于考生对“cant.enough表示越越好”不熟悉，而按字面理解成了“没能力离家足够远”。故选C。14.推理判断题。第四段首句“Moving is not for everyone”已经说明“移居并非适合每一个人”，再结合下文“Having yourgrandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is strugglin
46、g, but giving up the life you know may be harder.”可知“（祖父母）得知孩子们在异地艰苦的生活，是很难过的，但（祖父母）放弃自己熟悉的生活也许会更难过”，所以推断出作者建议“作选择时要慎重，要以自己最大的需求为衡量标准”。故选A。4.（2016年，天津卷）Failure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness

Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however
50、 hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I can-then let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopaedia Britannica (大英百科全书), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after
51、 day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back
52、 in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind provided correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting a

56、ver Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD.Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems【答案】15.A 16.D 17.B 18.D 19.C【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要介绍每个人都希望成功，但是人们在实施任务的时候会出现启动疲惫和表现疲惫，这是造成失败的两种原因，文章具体介绍如何克服这两种疲惫。15.细节理解题。根据第一段的句子In the former case, we keep putting off a task可知，有启动疲惫的人更可能拖延任务。故选A。16.细节理解题。根据第三段的句子The solution i
57、s obvious though perhaps not easy to apply:always handle the most difficult job first可知，为了防止启动疲惫作者建议首先处理最难的任务。故选D。17.推理判断题。根据第五段的句子Performance fatigue is more difficult to handlewe fail again and again可知，当所有的解决方法都失败的时候，一个人可能会有表现疲惫。故选B。18.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第一段和倒数第二段的内容可知，无意识的行为可能帮助我们发现正确的解决方法。故选D。19.主旨大意题。

Instead，we are diurnal creatures,
59、with eyes adapted to living in the suns light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us dont think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet its the only way to explain what weve done to the night: Weve engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.The benefits of this kind of engi

70、 Nature.【答案】20.B 21.A 22.B 23.D 24.C【解析】文章介绍了光污染对于动物和人类的影响，呼吁我们反思我们的行为。20.B 细节理解题 根据第一段第三行“ with eyes adapted to living in the suns light眼睛适应了太阳的光线” 可以知道答案。其中adapted to 和used to 同义，意为习惯于。21.A 猜词题，对于这种指代的题目，往往答案是最接近它的一个。根据这种原则，不能得出答案是night 夜晚。最后一句话的句意是：但是这是唯一的方法去解释我们对于夜晚做了什么：我们设计了光，让光充满星空。22.B 写作目的题
71、根据第二段第一句话” The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences 这项工程带来好处的同时也带来了坏处“和最后一句，“Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected“, 此句意为无论光洒在什么地方，生活都会受到一些影响。 所以答案是show how light pollution affects animals说明光污染影响的动物23.D 推理题，最后一段的意思是” Living in a gl

74、达是扩大了说法，以偏概全。24.C 标题题，根据，文章出现最多的就是light和night, 我们可以知道答案是C。之所以不选A，是因为它所使用的形容词Magic意思是奇幻的，这个单词具有褒义的意思。而C选项的disappearing 是消失的，这符合本文的语境，让我们反思。6.（2010年，辽宁卷）It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries
75、.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frogs legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of
76、 frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able t
77、o dream of a better future. But the dream didnt last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldnt
78、just wait to see the crops failing and the children have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadnt been useless. They had been doing an important jobeating insects. Now with so m
79、any frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor.

83、第一段中有The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy.和B项意思一致，村民们贫穷但是满足。故选B。28.细节理解题。根据第三段和本段第一句This seemed like money for nothing.句中for nothing是“免费的”意思，说明青蛙容易得到，并能赚到钱，村民才答应买，故选A。29.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中They had been doing an important job-eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were
84、 increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.可知，青蛙一直在做一项重要的工作吃昆虫。 现在有这么多青蛙被杀了，昆虫增长得更快。 他们破坏了庄稼，传播了疾病。可以推断出庄稼收成不好，孩子生病与青蛙减少，害虫增多有关，故选B。30.推理判断题。最后一句These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. 现在夜晚的这些声音具有更深刻的意义。该句是一个中介句，说明人们过度捕杀造成生态失衡，由此也影响了人类，因此，可以推断人与自然
85、的和谐是重要，故选C。7.（2012年，浙江卷）Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, In
86、our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence. Given that this is the case, why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or
87、stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact
88、that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isnt in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice
89、the golden rule of conflict resolution (解决) stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fir On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level c
90、an put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution; listening.

100、冲突的技能。31.主旨大意题。文章第一段最后一句Given that this is the ease，why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems，drive ears，or stay physically fit？(既然这很容易，为什么不教学生如何处理冲突，就像教他们解决数学问题、鼓动耳朵或保持身体健康一样)可知为什么学生们不学会像处理其它问题一样处理冲突。最后一段说conflict resolution is a basic life skill th
101、at should be taught in schools across the country(解决冲突是一项基本的生活技能，应该在全国的学校里教授)可知，该文主要介绍了如何帮助学生正确处理校园冲突的方法，所以选D项。32.推理判断题。从第二段begin with a relatively minor insult推知，很多时候校园冲突的起因只是一件小事而已。下面作者所列举的例子也是来说明这一点的，故选B项。33.推理判断题。从第五段It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to
102、 accomplish可知，学生自问问题的关键在于：让学生明白冲突真正的症结所在，而不是只关注对方的过错，由此推断C项是最佳答案。34.细节理解题。从第六段64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom知，亚特兰大实施了校园冲突解决方案后，肢体上的暴力行为有了较大的减少，而合作上升了，学生们的自我归属感也增强了，所以选A项。35.推理判断题。从文章中第一段Given that this is the case和最后一段In that way, conflict resolution is a
103、 basic life skill that should be taught，并结合全文知，本文作者主要倡导在校园中教授解决冲突的办法，所以选C项。8.（2012年，天津卷）You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator.

The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.Those who choose
105、to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way.

107、 life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others-and even themselves-to feel like victims, too.

126、，并最终取得了成功。作者通过自己的故事想告诉我们坚持自己的目标就会得到回报。41.词句猜测题。根据第一段but no sense of what I wanted to do. I tried journalism, but I didnt think I was any good, then finance, which I hated,可知，但不知道我想做什么。我尝试过新闻工作，但我认为自己一点也不是很擅长，然后是我讨厌的金融。由此推之第一段划线部分是指作者漫无目的地寻找一份合适自己的工作。故选C项。42.细节理解题。根据第二段的I decided to try to satisfy a
127、deep-down wish to write a novel可知作者决定写小说的目的只是满足自己内心深处的愿望，实现自己的梦想说明写作是他一直以来的梦想，故选B项。43.推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside可知，我的信心下降了。我相信我的小说不能出版，就把它放在了一边。由关键词“dived，put it aside”此判断出作者写这本小说写到一半时对自己的小说很不确定。故选D项。44.推理判断题。根据最后一段When you set out
128、 to do something different, theres no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisherto be a published writeris unbelievably rewarding(有回报的)可知，当你开始做一些不同的事情时，是看不到尽头的，以至于陷于困境，但是作者摆脱了困境，成为了一名出版作家，这是令人难以置信的回报。所以通过作者的叙述可以判断出，作者在最后一段想告诉读者，只要坚持自己
129、的目标，努力是一定会有回报的。故选A项。10.（2009年，湖北卷）When I was seven my father gave me a Timex, my first watch. I loved it, wore it for years, and havent had another one since it stopped ticking a decade ago. Why? Because I dont need one. I have a mobile phone and Im always near someone with an iPod or something like

140、a message about the man wearing it.可知瑞士表工业主要是针对有钱人。48.主旨大意题。本文讲述在现代许多移动设备都能报时的前提下，还花费很多钱购买名表究竟是否合适，因此选择C“手表？我不要！”为标题较为形象生动也很贴切。A“天美时还是劳力士”，B“我的孩童时代的天美时”，D“手表昂贵的选择”都不符合文章主题。11.（2009年，广东卷）A few years ago I had an “aha!” moment regarding handwriting.I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten in
