30、ould have had in separate cities.”可知这次搬家给他们带来了更紧密的家庭联系。故选A。22细节理解题。根据第二段结尾处“.83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinsons decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obamas family.”可知83%的人认为Mrs. Robinson的决定会影响美国家庭，2/3的人相信更多
31、家庭会效仿，所以“多数人认为这是一种趋势”。故选D。23推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldnt get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”可知那时的人们一心希望离家越远越好、越快越好。本题出错主要原因在于考生对“cant.enough表示越越好”不熟悉，而按字面理解成了“没能力离家足够远”。故选C。24推理判断题。第四段首句“Moving is not for everyone”已经说
32、明“移居并非适合每一个人”，再结合下文“Having yourgrandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.”可知“（祖父母）得知孩子们在异地艰苦的生活，是很难过的，但（祖父母）放弃自己熟悉的生活也许会更难过”，所以推断出作者建议“作选择时要慎重，要以自己最大的需求为衡量标准”。故选A。【点睛】社会现象类的文本是备考的重要部分，此类文本不仅要求学生读懂事实信息，还要理解作者的意图态度。
33、所以备考中注意扫清用词句式等阅读障碍，更要教会学生读懂字里行间话外之音。题目设置上既关注细节信息，又关注推理判断和观点态度。25B26D27A28F29E【分析】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了跳舞的好处。25根据后文We dance from Florida to Alaska, from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings, birthdays, office parties and just to fill the time. 等可知，这里是说在美国到处有人跳舞，从佛罗里达到阿拉斯加，从北到南等，故选B。26根据前文舞蹈课为
34、各个年龄阶段的人架起了桥梁，教跳舞是非常好的，再根据后句its great to watch them，根据人称可知是在谈论他们，所以D和F符合，再根据本段最后一句可知，此段主要介绍了跳舞对他们的好处，故选D。27根据第四段后句，是通过举例介绍人们跳舞的原因，故选A。28根据前句they arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile, 所以他们的心情彻底改变，故选F。29根据文章前后句可知，此处人称为第一人称，所以E符合语境，作者结合自己的跳舞经历介绍了跳舞给自己带来的好处。【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文
35、词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第2小题中的“them”，第5小题中的“I”，第1小题中的from Florida to Alaska，均与上下文或选项中有相呼应的词语。30is31inward32while33flight34first-class35bigger36baby37reading38kindness39speak【分析】这是一篇议论文。作者提出如果你感到抑郁，最好的办法就是为别人做点什么，帮助别人能让自己感觉很棒。并列举了自己的一个事
36、例。30考查动词。句意：我记得曾读过一位精神病学家说过，如果你感到抑郁，最好的办法就是为别人做点什么。主语是the best thing to do，意为“最好的方法”，谓语动词用单数，时态是一般现在时，故be动词用is。故填is。31考查名词。句意：为什么?因为它让你关注外部，而不是内部。句中gets you focused outward，这里是get sth./sb. done“使某事被做/使某人做某事”，根据句中outward，结合句意，这里应该填它的反义词。故填inward。32考查连词。句意：在为别人服务的时候很难感到沮丧。根据serving someone else提示，可知此处
37、用表示时间的连词，serving用了现在分词形式，应该用while。故填while。33考查名词。句意：我记得有一天我坐在机场等我的航班。my是形容词性物主代词，后接名词。故填flight。34考查形容词。句意：我很兴奋，因为我已经升级到头等舱了。根据下一句in first class，可知这里是一张头等舱的机票，再从名词ticket可知，这里应该用形容词，first class形容词是first-class。故填first-class。35考查形容词比较级。句意：头等舱的座位更大，食物也可以吃，而且乘务员也很友好。这里可知头等舱的座位对比升级前的座位应该是更大的。故填bigger。36考查句
38、意：登机前，我注意到一位年轻女士带着几个随身行李，抱着一个哭闹的婴儿。从a young lady与crying推断当时是抱着哭闹的婴儿。故填baby。37考查非谓语动词。句意：我刚读完一本关于随机做好事的书。根据Having just finished可知此处接非谓语动词形式，且从a book可知这里是“阅读（read）”，是主动读书的。故填reading。38考查名词。句意：我刚读完一本关于随机做好事的书。从acts of“的行为”可知后接名词。故填kindness。39考查非谓语动词。句意：就听到我的良心对我说:“你这个混蛋。把你的票给她。” hear sb do sth 听见某人已经做了
39、某事情（强调听见整个过程，属于一种回忆性描述），此处是听到良心说话的整个过程。故填speak。【点睛】第10小题考查了hear的用法。hear sb do sth 听到某人做某事，暗示过程完成。如：我听到他关掉电视.I heard him turn off the TV. 而hear sb doing sth 听到某人正在做某事，强调动作的进行，可能你听到的只是动作的一部分。如：我经过这里时听到有人唱歌.I heard someone singing when I passed by。如果用I heard someone sing the song.就暗示“我”听完了整首歌。有一些感观动词如h
40、ear, see, feel, watch等后面既可以接宾语+do sth, 也可接宾语+动词-ing形式构成复合宾语。根据情景以及句意的需要许多时候只能用一种，但有时两者都可用而意义没多大区别。例如： 1、He once heard someone talk about it/ talking about it. 他有一次听到有人谈到过这件事/正在谈论这件事。 2、I like to hear you play the music. 我喜欢听你弹这首曲子。（不用playing） 3、He heard someone playing his Sonata in F. 他听到有人正弹奏他的F调奏鸣曲。 4、I didnt see you come in. 我没见到你进来。 5、But I didnt feel the train moving. 但我没有感到火车在移动。答案第7页，共7页
