E 过渡句。设空处前句提到“go out and get some fresh air”, 空格处马上针对呼吸新鲜空气这件事情进行提问,然后设空处后一句就是针对提问的回答“the answer is a big YES”,所以选择E项。13. A 主旨
46、句。设空处后面一整段都是在阐述呼吸新鲜空气的好处, 尤其两次提到 oxygen(氧气), 且设空处位于段首, 所以设空处是整段的主题句, 而且话题需要一致, oxygen 与 A 项中的 lungs 有联系, 所以选择A。14. G 细节句。设空处前一句中的关键词 healing与G项中的 Healing 对应, G 项中的 recovery 与设空处后一句中的 recovery 对应。此外,G 项中出现 Healing Gardens, 后一句马上出现 In these places 来指代 Healing Gardens,因此答案是G项。15. C 过渡句。根据本段的第三句 In thes

D主旨句。根据设空处位置可以推测此处为主题句, 是对本段话题的开启。设空处后一句中的 the suns rays 与 D 项中的 sunlight 对应。而 D 项中的 Another side benefit of
48、getting fresh air 又是对前面段落中阐述呼吸新鲜空气有好处的延伸,因此 D项是最佳选项。(长难句Hospital patients who see tree branches outtheir window are likely to recover at a faster rate than patients who see buildings or sky instead.看到他们窗外树枝的住院病人比看到建筑物或天空的病人恢复得更快。本句是主从复合句。句子主干是:Hospital patients are likely to recover at a faster rate

D下文语境题。根据空后 she wouldnt remember me or think that I was a bad man who poisoned cookies 可知,“我”担心(worried)她不记得我或把我当成坏人。nervous 紧张的;disappointed失望的:confused 困惑的。24. B 下文语境题。根据空后 的“She was so happy,and she hugged m
52、e and kissed me.”可知,事实证明“我”的想法完全(completely) 错误,她看到“我”很高兴并热情地拥抱亲吻了“我”。generally 一般地;hardly 几乎不;usually 通常地。25. B 下文语境题。根据空后的“.that someone would do something like that”可知,“我”的做法让她感到惊讶(surprised)。 puzzled 困惑的;satisfied 满意的;fearful 可怕的。26. D下文语境题。根据空后的 told my mom on the phone 可知,这位老妇人打电话(called)给“我”妈
