23、有代表性的作品和作品对应的摄影师进行了详细的介绍。1答案与解析：B考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中的“Asyoumightexpect, thefocusisonphotostakenunderwater”可知参赛照片都是水下主题的。故选B。2答案与解析：A考查文章出处。本文主要介绍的是摄影师大赛及其中的几幅摄影作品。与摄影相关的应该是网站的艺术版块。3答案与解析：B考查推理判断。由文章第四段中的“ThephotoLastDawn, LastGaspbyPasqualeVassalloofItalywontheawardforOceanProtectionPhotographeroftheYea
24、r”可知该照片获得了“年度海洋保护摄影师奖”，故选项B正确。4答案与解析：C考查细节理解。根据第五段的最后一句“Mr.Vassallosayshedoesntunderstandwhattheoctopuswasdoing, butwondersifitwastrainingfortheWorldCup”可知，该摄影师戏谑不知道章鱼是否被训练来预测世界杯的胜负，可见摄影师有着幽默感。B【语篇解读】本文是说明文，主题语境是“人与社会”。文章介绍了一项研究的结果：尽管社交媒体让我们比历史上任何时候都更能与他人建立起联系，但许多美国人感到比以往任何时候都更加孤独。5答案与解析：D考查细节理解。根据第
25、一段中的“anewstudysuggeststhatmanyAmericansfeellonelierthaneverbefore”可知，新的研究发现社交媒体让美国人变得更加孤独。6答案与解析：C考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Lonelinesshasthesameinfluenceonhealthassmoking15cigarettesaday, whileobesity (肥胖) lessthan10cigarettesaday”可知，孤独对健康的影响相当于每天吸15支烟的影响，而肥胖对健康的影响相当于每天吸不到10支烟的影响。由此可推知，孤独比肥胖更危险。7答案与解析：A考查词义猜测。
26、根据上文提到的Nemecek的言论和下文中的“thoseofotherleadingpublichealthspecialists.lonelinessshouldbetargetedinpublichealthcampaignslikethosedesignedtofightagainstsmokingandobesity”“theworstdiseaseIsawwasnotheartdiseaseordiabetes; itwasloneliness”可知，此处表示Nemecek的言论与其他一些健康专家的言论是一致的，故选A。8答案与解析：B考查写作目的。根据文章内容尤其是文章首尾两段的呼
27、应可知，本文主要介绍了一项新研究的结果：尽管社交媒体使得人们更易与他人产生联系，但许多美国人却感到比以往任何时候都孤独。故选B。【长难句解读】Nemecekscommentstalliedwiththoseofotherleadingpublichealthspecialists，includingformerSurgeonGeneralVivekH.Murthy，MD，whosaidlonelinessshouldbetargetedinpublichealthcampaignslikethosedesignedtofightagainstsmokingandobesity.,分析：本句是主
28、从复合句。句子主干是Nemecekscommentstalliedwiththoseofotherleadingpublichealthspecialists。including短语作状语。who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词formerSurgeonGeneralVivekH.Murthy；该定语从句中those后跟过去分词短语designedtofightagainstsmokingandobesity作定语。,译文：Nemecek的观点和其他一流的公共健康专家的观点不谋而合，这些专家里包括前美国卫生局局长VivekH.Murthy博士，他说像与吸烟和肥胖作斗争一样，公共健康运动应该把孤
29、独也列为攻击目标。.七选五语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与自然人与环境在大自然中散步有助于更好地工作【语篇解读】到户外走走，而不是一直待在室内，对人们的身体和精神健康大有裨益。1答案与解析：A根据空后一句“TheaverageAmerican，forexample，spendsabout90%oftheirlifeindoors”可知，普通的美国人90%的时间都是在室内度过的，由此可推知，A项符合语境。2答案与解析：E本空是段首句，与下一段的首句“Therearealsoalotofmentalbenefits.canmakesenseoflife”呼应，并结合对本段内容的整体理解可知，本段主要
30、讲述了出去走走的一些明显的益处，所以E项与语境相符。3答案与解析：D本段表述大自然对人的精神健康有益。根据语境并结合空前的“peopletendtohavemorepositiveemotionandenergythanwhentheyareindoors”可推知，D项“换句话说，人们在大自然中更开心”与此处匹配。4答案与解析：G根据空后一句“Afterwards，shinrinyoku，theJapaneseconcept.followedthat”可推知，该空陈述的应是与大自然对人类有益的理论或概念相关的内容，选项G的内容与空处相符，所以选G项。5答案与解析：B空处承上启下。B选项中的“i
31、tdoesnthavetobeaforest”与空前一句中的“withnoreadyaccesstoforestsorthewilderness”相衔接，且与空后一句中的“greenenvironmentsincitieshavebeneficialeffects”相呼应，所以选B项。.短文改错答案：Itisknownthatthedevelopmentofeconomy, numberofcarsisincreasinglygrowinginourdailylife.Carsindeedgreatlyimprovedourlifeandbroughtmuchconvenience.，they
