24、米切尔眼蝶【语篇解读】最初人们认为湿地的丧失导致米切尔眼蝶数量减少，但专家经过研究发现，地下水的数量和质量似乎也是其数量减少的原因；研究人员于4年前开始了一个人工繁殖项目来探索其减少的原因，之后该项目培育出很多米切尔眼蝶虫卵，这样一来，米切尔眼蝶有望脱离濒危物种名单。1答案与解析：B考查细节理解。根据第二段第三句“Theyre very particular about.amazing indicators for our water quality.”可知，米切尔眼蝶对自己居住的栖息地的种类很挑剔，这使得它们如此稀少并成为水质的指标，故选B项。2答案与解析：C考查段落大意。根据第三段内容可知
25、，最初人们认为湿地的丧失导致米切尔眼蝶的数量减少，但是Fuller认为不仅是湿地，地下水的数量和质量也是其减少的原因。由此可知，本段主要讲述米切尔眼蝶数量减少的原因，故选C项。3答案与解析：C考查词义猜测。根据画线词所在句中的“the program produced 1,300 new eggs, a development that may go a long way”可知，人工繁殖项目产出1 300个新卵，又结合米切尔眼蝶是濒危物种可推知，这是恢复眼蝶数量的一个新的进展，故选C项。4答案与解析：D考查细节理解。根据最后一段第一句的内容和倒数第二句“With that knowledge,
26、 the program produced 1,300.the population.”可知，米切尔眼蝶可以人工培育，故选D项。B语篇类型：议论文主题语境：人与自然昆虫解释了蜜蜂数量的两种说法【语篇解读】有人说蜜蜂的数量在下降，也有人说蜜蜂的数量在上升。两种说法都是正确的，这是为什么呢？本文给出了解释。5答案与解析：D考查细节理解。根据第二段的“According to the UN. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) statistics, the worlds honeybee population rose to 80 million.Jen
27、nifer Sass of the Natural Resources Defense Council.has dropped from 4 million hives (蜂群) in 1970 to 2.5 million today”可知，FAO的数据表明蜜蜂的数量在上升，而Jennifer Sass的数据表明美国的蜂群数量在下降，两种结论是相互矛盾的，故选D。contradictory“互相矛盾的，对立的”。6答案与解析：C考查细节理解。根据第四段的“Far more bees are farmed for making honey than for pollination (传粉) s
28、ervices”可知，多养殖蜜蜂更多地是为了获取蜂蜜；“And the global number of commercial hives.grown to meet the demands of an expanding world population”表明全球商业性蜂群数量已经增加，以满足不断增加的世界人口的需求。结合以上两句话可知，人们对蜂蜜需求的日益增长引起了商业性蜂群数量的增加，故选C。7答案与解析：B考查观点态度。结合全文可知，作者在介绍蜜蜂数量的问题时，都是在客观地陈述两种对立的观点及两种观点形成的依据。根据最后一段中的“Solutions will follow only i
29、f we take a nonsubjective look at the issues”也可知，作者认为客观地看待蜜蜂数量这个问题才能找到解决办法，故选B。objective“客观的”。8答案与解析：B考查标题判断。综合全文可知，本文主要讨论的是蜜蜂数量是上升还是下降的问题，关键词是population，故选B。.七选五语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与社会社会活动千禧火车项目【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了一个非营利性组织千禧火车项目所组织的活动，即坐火车旅行去帮助不同的社区。1答案与解析：E根据空前一句“The organization leads crowdfunded train journe
30、ys”可推知，本空应是进一步解释这个组织开展的旅行活动，与空后一句中的“ The organization has already completed two journeys”呼应，所以选E项。2答案与解析：C根据空前一句中的“has to raise $5,000”以及空处下文中的“The idea is”可知，此处是说除了钱之外，参加本活动的人还需要构思一个项目，所以选C项。3答案与解析：B根据本段中的“universities”和“higher education”以及本段中的具体细节可知，本段讲的是与教育相关的内容，B选项中的“education system”与此呼应，所以选B项。
31、4答案与解析：G根据空前一句中的“to explore how bookstores and libraries improve local communities”可知，G项中的“to find out what they are doing to encourage more people to read”与之衔接，所以选G项。5答案与解析：A根据空前一句中的“computer game designers”和空后一句中的“gamelike”以及本段第一句中提到的四种自然灾害可知，A项“接着她计划创造一个能帮助人们为灾害做准备的游戏”符合语境。.语法填空语篇类型：记叙文主题语境：人与自我人
32、物故事“考古女孩”钟芳容【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了在今年高考中成绩优异的留守女孩钟芳蓉毅然决然地选择了考古专业，此事引起了网友的热议。1答案与解析：ignoring考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，本句的谓语动词为 reaffirmed，空处为非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语Zhong Fangrong之间为主谓关系，所以填ignoring。2答案与解析：virtually考查副词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰整个句子，应用副词，所以空处应该填virtually。virtually意为“事实上”。3答案与解析：majors考查名词单复数。“one ofthe形容词最高级可数名词复数”为固定表达，意为“最
33、的之一”，所以填majors。4答案与解析：to考查介词。reply to为固定表达，意为“回复”，所以空处应该填to。5答案与解析：who/that考查强调句。分析句子结构可知，此处形成了强调句型“It be被强调部分who/that句子剩余部分”，其中被强调部分为表示人的Fan，故此处填who/that。6答案与解析：herself考查反身代词。devote yourself to sb./sth.为固定表达，意为“致力，献身”，所以空处填herself。7答案与解析：made考查谓语动词的时态和语态。分析句子结构可知，make作句子的谓语，结合时间状语Earlier this month可知，时态应为一般过去时，钟芳蓉成为新闻焦点为主动，所以填made。8答案与解析：Described考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，空处为非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语Zhong为动宾关系，所以空处填Described。9答案与解析：was raised考查谓语动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。根据整篇文章的时态并结合语境可知，本句需要用一般过去时；钟芳蓉是由爷爷奶奶抚养长大，表被动；主语Zhong为单数，所以填was raised。10答案与解析：choice考查词形转换。空前为形容词性物主代词her，因此空处需要填名词，所以填choice。
