27、 losses. We want trees to help protect us,but we leave them unprotected.Consider this in the human world:Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it. Children need caring for and its why we have schools and child health-insurance programs.We could get so much more out of ou

C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。通过对一些古树死去，大树能够提供人们的资源的描述，来提倡我们要保护树木，才能从树木身上获取更多的益处。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段Last summer was harder than m
32、ost for old trees and their human supporters. Many valuable old trees died. 去年夏天对于古树和它们的人类支持者来说比以往任何时候都艰难。春季不间断的雨水淹没了土壤，导致许多大型古树根系部分腐烂。然后，当夏天到来时，树木就不能从深层的水源中获取水分，而这些水分通常可以维持它们的生长。许多珍贵的古树死了。对于古树和人类支持者来说都很艰难，因为他们失去了他们喜爱的古树。由此可以推断第一句主要描述的是古树爱好者对古树的爱，故选D。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段When I volunteered on the Mount
33、Rainier Tree Commission, I heard from many people concerned about their trees. We had little to offer them. Thats because public and private urban tree resources and programs were aimed almost entirely at planting trees and not at all maintaining trees.当我在雷尼尔山树木委员会做志愿者时，我听到许多人关心他们的树木。我们几乎没有什么可以提供给他们
34、。这是因为公共和私人城市树木资源和项目几乎完全是为了种树，而不是维护树木。由此可知作者无力帮助担心树木的人们，是因为树木资源和计划的重点是植树。故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段In a recent study, researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from keeping the trees it has alive than from planting new trees. Theres reason to think this finding would apply in other cities, to
35、o. 在最近的一项研究中，研究人员发现，波士顿从保持现有树木存活中获得的好处要比种植新的树木多。我们有理由认为，这一发现也适用于其他城市。由此判断出本段是通过提出调查结果来进行论证的。故选B。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段Consider this in the human world: Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it. Children need caring for and its why we have schools and child health-insurance p
36、rograms. We could get so much more out of our trees if we just put a little more into them. 想想人类世界的情况吧：没有人会把一个婴儿送到这个世界上，然后指望他能活下来。孩子们需要照顾，这就是为什么我们有学校和儿童健康保险计划。我们可以从我们的树木中得到更多，如果我们只是多关心他们一点。由此比喻可以推断作者是在呼吁人们要关心和保护树木。故选C。【点睛】推理判断题的推断对象主要包括隐含意思、目标读者、观点态度、文章出处、写作意图等。以推断隐含意义的题目居多。推断隐含意义，即要求根据文章的某个句子、段落或全文
37、所提供的事实进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到、没有明说或者可能发生的事实。题干中常含infer（推断），suggest（暗示），imply（暗示），indicate（暗示），conclude（推断，得出结论）等词语。解此类题，首先找到相关信息，然后细读、理解相关信息的字面意义，最后结合语境和常识，在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断，从而理解作者的言外之意。如小题1，根据第一段Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters. Many valuable old trees died. 去年夏天对
38、于古树和它们的人类支持者来说比以往任何时候都艰难。春季不间断的雨水淹没了土壤，导致许多大型古树根系部分腐烂。然后，当夏天到来时，树木就不能从深层的水源中获取水分，而这些水分通常可以维持它们的生长。许多珍贵的古树死了。对于古树和人类支持者来说都很艰难，因为他们失去了他们喜爱的古树。由此可以推断第一句主要描述的是古树爱好者对古树的爱，故选D。CWhat makes you cry? Being moved by a sad movie, waving a loved one off, or getting emotional after splitting up with your partner
39、 can all cause tears to roll down our faces. We all have the power to cry, but is that a good thing?When you think about it, shedding(流) tears from your eyes is a strange thing to do. But it seems to be an automatic(无意识的) reaction when we get sad, upset or even when were very happy. What causes this
40、 reaction differs from person to person. However, the feeling is the same your cheeks puff up(鼓起), your eyes tighten and before you know it, tears are streaming down your face. Some of us may sniffle a little while others might cry like a baby and some people suggest that its women who cry more than
41、 men.A study in the UK in 2017 found that women admitted that they cry 72 times a year. This was, on average, more than men. Writing for the BBC, Adam Rutherford says “According to pretty much every study done, women do cry more than men, and this result has been consistent since weve been looking.”
42、 But does this mean men dont get as upset or emotional as women, or are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings? The debate continues.One place where we experience emotional and tearful outbursts is in the workplace. This can be somewhere where emotions run high someone might be
43、 stressed, their workload might be too much, and, as therapist, Joanna Cross said, “crying is often a build-up of frustration and undealt-with situations and its a bit of a final straw moment.” She describes how someone might start weeping when theyre just asked to make a cup of tea because, “actual
44、ly thats often a backlog(积压) of situations.”But crying in the office or elsewhere can be beneficial: it can actually make you feel better. Maybe it dissolves or clears the negative or sad feelings youve had. Crying your eyes out shows others how you feel, so perhaps its a crying shame that more of u
45、s, particularly men, dont cry more often.8. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Babies cry most without good reasons.B. People cry for the same reasons.C. Being happy can cause you to cry a lot.D. It is natural for people to cry actually.9. What has remained argument among researchers?A.
46、What causes men to cry less.B. Why someone cries like a baby.C. Who is easy to get emotional.D. How embarrassing crying is.10. What does the underlined phrase “a final straw moment” mean?A. When one cant tolerate the stress.B. When one finally finishes his work.C. When one does work at a final momen
47、t.D. When one gets bored at work.11. What does the writer think of our not crying?A. It is a sign of our strong character.B. It is a symbol of our emotion.C. It is a kind of pity.D. It is a way of us hiding our feelings.【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. C【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。本文讨论眼泪的力量和哭泣的好处。【详解】1.推理判断题。根据第二段的“But
48、it seems to be an automatic reaction when we get sad, upset or even when were very happy.”可知，但当我们感到悲伤、不安甚至是非常高兴的时候，这似乎是一种自动的反应。说明哭泣是一种自然的现象。故选D。2.细节理解题。根据第三段的“But does this mean men dont get as upset or emotional as women, or are they just more embarrassed about showing their true feelings? The deba
49、te continues.”可知，但男人并不是不会像女人那样心烦意乱或情绪化，或许他们只是在表达自己的真实感受时更尴尬。故选A。3.短语猜测题。根据画线词前面的“Crying is often a build-up of frustration and undealt-with situations”可知，哭泣通常是挫折感的累积，是对情况的不适应，因此哭泣是最后无法忍受压力的反应，故选A。4.推理判断题。根据最后一段“perhaps its a crying shame that more of us, particularly men, dont cry more often”可知，也许我们
50、中的更多人，尤其是男人，不经常哭泣是一种遗憾。故选C。DFranz Kafka wrote that “a book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us.” I once shared this sentence with a class of seventh graders, and it didnt seem to require any explanation.Wed just finished John Steinbecks novel Of Mice and Men. When we read the end together ou
51、t loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little, and so did I. “Are you crying?” one girl asked, as she got out of her chair to take a closer look. “I am,” I told her, “and the funny thing is Ive read it many times.”But they understood. When George shoots Lennie, the traged
52、y is that we realize it was always going to happen. In my 14 years of teaching in a New York City public middle school, Ive taught kids with imprisoned parents, abusive parents, irresponsible parents; kids who are parents themselves; kids who are homeless; kids who grew up in violent neighborhoods.
53、They understand, more than I ever will, the novels terrible logicthe giving way of dreams to fate.For the last seven years, I have worked as a reading enrichment teacher, reading classic works of literature with small groups of students from grades six to eight. I originally proposed this idea to my

The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt unco
55、mfortable with her new classmates. I thought additional “cultural capital” could help students like her develop better in high school, where they would unavoidably meet, perhaps for the first time, students who came from homes lined with bookshelves, whose parents had earned Ph. D.s.Along with Of Mi
56、ce and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didnt always read from the expected point of view. About The Red Pony, one student said, “its about being a man, its about manliness.” I had never before seen the parallels between Scarfa
57、ce and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeths soliloquies (独白) read as raps, but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbecks writing, one boy went on to read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that “all these people hate ea
58、ch other, and theyre all white.” His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year, former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first year in college as a result of the classes.Year after year, however, we are increasing the numbe
59、r of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do not amaze but confuse.
60、We may succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach them that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.12. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to _.A. realize our dreamsB. give support to our lifeC. awake our emotionsD. smooth away diffic

A【解析】本文为夹议夹叙类文章。在文章中，作者分享了自己的阅读教学经验，认为学生有着自己对书本的理解，提倡文学教学要触动心灵，而不是为了应付考试。【12题详解】句意猜测题。阅读全文可知，作者写这篇文章是提倡文学教学要触动心灵，而不是为了应付考试。以及根据第一段下划线句子“a book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us.（一本书必须是斧子，用来劈开我们内心冰冷的大海。）”
64、可知，该句表达的意思是一本书可以帮助唤醒我们的情感。故选C项。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“When we read the end together out loud in class, my toughest boy, a star basketball player, wept a little（当我们在课堂上一起大声朗读结局时，我们班最坚强的男孩，一位篮球明星，流下了眼泪）”可知，最坚强的男孩与故事有着相似的经历，感同身受，流下了眼泪；由此可推测，其他同学也有相同经历，能够理解这本小说。故选B项。【14题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“a selective high schoo
65、lone that often attracts the literary-minded children of Manhattans upper classes.（这所高中经常吸引曼哈顿上层阶级有文学头脑的孩子）”以及下文“The daughter of immigrants, with a father in prison, she perhaps felt uncomfortable with her new classmates.（她是移民的女儿，父亲入狱，她可能觉得和新同学在一起很不舒服。）”可知，女孩可能觉得自己的家庭跟同学家庭之间有很大差距，与同学们相处不舒服，无法融入班级。故选
66、D项。【15题详解】目的意图题。根据最后一段“We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich the minds of our students by testing them on texts that ignore their hearts. （我们正试图教学生阅读日益复杂的课文,不为情感的碰撞，而为了研究复杂的课文。然而，我们不能通过忽略学生内心的测试来丰富他们

74、and neck muscles instead of tensing them【答案】16. E 17. B 18. A 19. F 20.

77、中心句，故选B项。【18题详解】下文Rather, it is helping rebuild and relax the muscles needed for your big runs.(它帮助你为进行大量运动重塑并放松你的肌肉。)与A. Dont feel like an easy day is cheating.(不要觉得轻松的一天就是在作弊。)承接自然，“轻松”的一天对你有巨大帮助，下文的it就指代选项中的an easy day，故选A项。【19题详解】上文Your elbows are bent at 90 degrees but swing freely. If anything

79、, use the first five to ten minutes to build a light sweat and get your body ready for exercise.(除了简单的跑步外，先用5到10分钟来做一些(能让你)轻微出汗的运动从而让你的身体准备好去运动。)与C.
