22、tion of email though，theyve been few and far between”可知，由于电子邮件的发明，作者收到的信件少了，故D项正确。2答案与解析：A考查代词指代。根据全文内容尤其是最后一段中的“though I now have no memory of ever having written it”可推知，作者是在给未来的自己写信，该句中的he指作者自己，故A项正确。3答案与解析： B考查推理判断。根据第五段第三句“I then delete the document and empty the trash folderto avoid the possibi
23、lity of temptation”可知，作者删除了文件并清空了垃圾文件夹以避免可能的诱惑；结合下文中作者阅读2019年写给自己的信可以推断，作者删除文件是为了防止自己禁不住诱惑提前阅读信件，故B项正确。4答案与解析：C考查推理判断。根据最后一段第二句“I open it，trembling with anticipation”可知，作者在打开信时，因为期待而颤抖。由此可推知，作者在打开信时内心很激动，故C项正确。B语篇类型：说明文主题语境：人与社会健康何为“老”【语篇解读】“一个人什么时候变老”是个永恒的问题，本文就此介绍了相关的研究情况。5答案与解析：C考查主旨大意。根据第一段第二句中的
24、“not only does the definition of old. for aging populations”可知，本段主要讲的是对“老”的定义的重要性。故选C。6答案与解析：A考查细节理解。根据第三段最后一句“Everyone with the same prospective age has the same expected remaining years of life”并结合语境可推知，prospective age即The expected remaining years of ones life。故选A。7答案与解析：D考查细节理解。根据第四段第一句中的“their c
25、ommon reference point is life expectancy”可知，“年轻”和“年老”的共同参照标准是预期寿命。故选D。8答案与解析：D考查推理判断。根据最后一段最后一句中的“Those with more education tend not to smoke, exercise more frequently, have better diets and have regular checkupsand, therefore, live longer”可知，受教育更多的人活得更长。由此可推知，提高受教育水平有助于一个人活得更长。故选D。.完形填空语篇类型：记叙文主题语境
26、：人与自然动物世界母狮收养幼豹【语篇解读】在印度的一个国家公园里，狮子和豹子通常不能和睦相处，它们为食物和空间而互相争斗，但一年前，一头母狮竟然收养了一只幼豹并照顾它直到它死去。1答案与解析：D根据空前一句可知，在印度的一个国家公园里，狮子和豹子通常不能和睦相处；结合该句中的“for space and food”可知，它们常为食物和空间互相争斗，故D项正确。A项意为“容忍，忍受”，与语境不符。2答案与解析：B根据第二段第一句中的“the lioness spent weeks nursing”可知，这头母狮用了数周时间照顾幼豹；结合下文中的“crossspecies adoption”可知，
27、这头母狮收养了幼豹，B项意为“收养”，故B项正确。3答案与解析：C根据空后的“the lioness spent weeks nursing，_4_ and caring for him until he died”可知，母狮花费数周照顾幼豹，喂养它直至它死去；据此可知，这只幼豹很虚弱，C项意为“虚弱的”，故C项正确。4答案与解析：A参见上题解析。5答案与解析：D根据上文可知，母狮收养了幼豹并照顾它直到它死亡；结合常识可知，这种跨物种收养的行为是罕见的，D项意为“稀少的”，故D项正确。6答案与解析：B根据该句中的“normally”并结合上文可知，这个跨物种收养的例子涉及的动物(狮子和豹子)在
28、通常情况下是竞争者关系；B项意为“竞争者”，故B项正确。7答案与解析：A根据语境可知，起初，公园的工作人员认为这种跨物种收养过程很短，但是没想到这种过程在继续；A项意为“起初”，故A项正确。8答案与解析：B根据下文的描述可知，这头母狮照顾幼豹，并和它分享自己猎捕来的肉，两只小狮子也陪它玩并时不时在树上跟着它，据此可知，这个家庭在公园里的活动被人们观察到。9答案与解析：C参见上题解析。10答案与解析：D根据第三段第一句中的“the association”并结合空前的“unlikely”可知，这种狮豹在一起的不太可能的联系必定令人大为惊奇。11答案与解析：B根据空后一句中的“lions and
29、leopards play and beg for milk in similar ways”并结合语境可知，尽管这种(跨物种的)收养让人困惑，但它强调了两个物种之间的相似点，B项意为“相似点”，故B项正确。12答案与解析：A结合语境和常识可知，幼狮、幼豹在玩耍和讨要乳汁时的方式是相似的，直到它们到了成年早期，社会行为的不同之处开始出现；A项意为“出现”，故A项正确。13答案与解析：C上文表述了狮、豹两个物种之间有相似之处，因此，这头母狮可能忽略了这个幼崽的更多“像豹”的特点。14答案与解析：D根据语境和上文表述的跨物种收养很罕见可知，跨物种收养是儿童读物中足够让人愉快的故事，但也是足够奇怪到
30、吸引科学家的故事；D项意为“故事”，故D项正确。15答案与解析：A参见上题解析。.应用文写作【范文赏读】Dear Chris，Im Li Hua, a student in your class.
