38、and feet to delightfully climb over”以及HIGGER TOR部分中的“Walk through the nearby fields,and then let the kids climb over hundreds of strangely smooth grey stones.”可知,LONGSHAW ESTATE 和 HIGGER TOR最适合孩子。3.D解析 细节理解题。根据CHATSWORTH ESTATE部分中的“Appreciate the stretch along the River Derwentdeer often hang out th
39、ere.”可知,在CHATSWORTH ESTATE有可能会见到大的动物。【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者喜欢阅读Ruskin Bond(拉斯金邦德)作品的原因及其对作者的影响。4.D解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“There wasnt much to do for a young teen in the army cantonment,so I spent most of my days at the library.”可知,作者去图书馆是因为没事可做,去打发时间的。5.A解析 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Since that day,Ive searched for a
40、nd read quickly with great enthusiasm every one of Ruskin Bonds works.(从那天开始,我搜寻并且带着极大热情快速阅读了拉斯金邦德的每一部作品)”可知,画线的词指的是对读书的那种热爱和热情,所以选A项。6.B解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Bonds parents divorced when he was little,and so it was just him and his father,and the latter comes across as a sensitive,gentle man who adored h
41、is son.”可知,作者认为邦德的父亲很体贴。7.C解析 主旨大意题。结合全文尤其是第一段中的“I first discovered Ruskin Bond on a hot afternoon in Agartala.”可知,本文主要是围绕拉斯金邦德的作品展开的,并讲述了作者喜欢阅读拉斯金邦德的作品的原因及其对作者的影响,C项可作本文的标题。【长难句分析】Moved as I was by Bonds memories of his father,little did I know that I would soon be experiencing his pain first-hand.
42、【分析】Moved as I was.是让步状语从句;主句little did I know是一个倒装句;that引导的是宾语从句。【译文】虽然邦德对他父亲的回忆让我深受触动,但我不知道我很快就会亲身经历他的痛苦。【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了为人父母后,雄性动物也会不遗余力地照顾后代,并且以雄性海葵鱼为例,说明它是动物王国里的模范父亲。8.A解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子“Although parenting is usually left to the females,males from many species go above and beyond to care
43、 for the offspring.”尤其是“parenting”和“care for”可推测,许多物种的雄性也会不遗余力地照顾后代,因此offspring意为“后代,孩子”。9.C解析 推理判断题。第二段说明雄性海葵鱼花很多精力筑巢,保护巢穴,给巢穴提供源源不断的氧气,保持周围环境的清洁;第三段说明了雄性海葵鱼在卵孵化期间保持卵蛋的清洁,保护它们不被吃掉;第四段说明雄性保护新生的鱼,并把那些离巢太远的鱼宝宝带回来。由以上推测出,雄性海葵鱼实际上是非常优秀的父亲。10.B解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Eventually,he gets to the point where he can
44、t keep track of them and thats when they separate.”可知,雄性海葵鱼找不到小鱼,这意味着小鱼长大,独立了。11.A解析 主旨大意题。根据全文以及第一段中的“Becoming a parent brings out the best in many animals.Although parenting is usually left to the females,males from many species go above and beyond to care for the offspring.”可知,文章讲述了为人父母后,雄性动物也会不遗
45、余力地照顾后代,并且以雄性海葵鱼为例,说明它是动物王国里的模范父亲。所以短文的最佳标题为“动物王国里的模范父亲”。【长难句分析】In Finding Nemo,Marlin swims over 1,000 miles from the Great Barrier Reef to Sydney to rescue his son Nemo,who has been caught by divers.【分析】In Finding Nemo是状语;Marlin swims over.是主句;to rescue his son Nemo是目的状语;who引导非限制性定语从句。【译文】在海底总动员中,
46、为了营救他那被潜水员抓走的儿子尼莫,玛林从大堡礁到悉尼游了1 000多英里。【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者接触、研究、学习以及实施在线教育的故事。12.D解析 细节理解题。由第一段中的“The explosion of technology has made teaching outside the traditional classroom possible for teachers and has provided learners with easy access to course materials.”可知,技术的发展让教师们可以在传统课堂以外教学,也让学习者能够很
47、容易获得课程材料。由此可知,技术的快速发展让在线教育的发展从中受益。故选D项。13.D解析 推理判断题。由第二段中的“在线教育在教师中流行”这一信息可知,作者以一个学生为例是想表明他开始接触在线教育,这些经历帮助他认识到在线教育已成为教育大势。由此推知,提及学生是为了预测教学生涯的未来。故答案为D项。14.A解析 推理判断题。由第三段中的“My responsibilities for the term included gaining more understanding of online education.Consequently,I made several attempts to
48、enrich my knowledge of distance learning and online teaching.”可推知,作者尝试远程学习和在线教学是因为对知识的渴望,故答案为A项。15.C解析 推理判断题。由第三段中的“I would consider these people as my consultants as I began to design my own online course.Eventually I completed a literature review which gave me the foundation and the background of
49、understanding the need for online education.”这些信息可推知,作者对在线教育的态度是支持的(supportive),故答案为C项。.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何选择合适的职业提出了建议。了解自己的才能,列出自己擅长做的事情等。1.B解析 根据下文提到的“strong writing skills,excellent math skills,good coordination and physical strength”可知,这些是个人擅长的事情,所以B项可引出下文。2.A解析 下文讲到,可以做网上的职业测试题目来帮助你决定你的个性和不同职业选择的适配度。故A项符合语境。3.C解析 根据下文“It will be particularly helpful to seek the advice of a professional”可知,C项的“Talk to others”与此相符。4.G解析 根据第三段中的“If youre a student.”和本段中的“ask your schools.”可知,上面的内容是针对学生的。G项是对上文的补充。5.F解析 本段开头的主题句中提到“Try out.”,F项“有时选择适合自己的职业的最好办法就是尝试一下”符合语境。9
