7、议论文,主要讲述了为什么那么多人喜欢篮球运动。通过本文,读者可以知道:打篮球不只是运动,也是一种很好的娱乐方式。它可以锻炼身体,也可以增强自己的身体协调性,更可以增进伙伴间的友谊。答案:1D这是一个承上启下的过渡句。上文说那么多人喜欢篮球运动,下面几段集中讲述那么多人喜欢篮球运动的具体原因,所以该空白处答案应该是选项D。2F空白处前面的信息“Basketball is very affordable”“The ball does not cost that much”与选项F中的信息“the prices”一致,所以此处答案为选项F。3A空白处后面几句话中的关键词“courts”“school
8、s”“communities”,“sports areas”“the nearest basketball court”“basketball club“说明本段主要谈论“打篮球的场地”,所以选项A正确。4G本段主要讲述同时打篮球的人数有很多,这既能避免其他运动项目的不足,又能让参与该运动的人员不太累地一直在玩。所以此处答案为选项G。误解分析:本题容易误选成A或B。这三个选项都谈及打篮球有利因素,学生可能会造成错解。5C空白处前后的信息“accessible”,“basketball camps”和“These camps”在逻辑上与C项中的”They”“available and nearl

16、oomsFHelp your child choose his screen name carefully,which should be gender neutralGDo not permit your child to be left alone in cyberspace for long periods of time1_2_3_4_5_文章大意: 本文为一封书信,写给那些对自己的孩子能不能上网聊天存有疑问的母亲们。作者认为可以同意他们上网聊天,但要给他们设置一些规则,同时大人也要给予一定的监督。答案:1D上句意为“上网聊天现在很流行,你可以允许你13岁的孩子上网聊天”,本句应是对上
17、句的补充,D项意为“但是,你应该给他们设置些前提条件,比如要先完成作业”,符合题意。2A此处为该段主题句,概括本段内容可知,要和孩子一起讨论然后设定一些约束,如可以进入哪些聊天室,可以谈论哪些话题等,由此可知A项正确。3E本段指出要让孩子清楚网上的所有人都是陌生人,从而得出E项正确,告诉孩子不要总是相信聊天室中人们所说的事情。4G本段中的you are around与G项中的be left alone相对应,不要让孩子独自一人上网很长时间,因为这是他们最容易受到伤害的时候,你要陪在他们身边,时不时地进行监督。5C本段指出你要对孩子的网上活动进行关注,最后一句意为“如果你不知道怎样上网聊天的话,
18、让你的孩子教你”,由此可推断出作者建议家长也去学上网聊天冲浪,故C项正确。(3)How can you turn interests into career ideas?
