31、，而不是受了伤，由此可见，这位老太太是因为上颚痛才来看病的，所以选pain。答案：B2解析：语境化选词。语意为：“我”告诉我的牙医这没什么，但是他却坚持让我来看看。由第二段中的“I found a large cancer that spread over much of the_4_of her mouth.”可以看出，她的病情很严重，所以应该是她的私人医生坚持要她来，因此要选择insist坚决主张，后面从句要用虚拟语气。declare宣布；suspect怀疑；promise承诺。答案：D3解析：动词辨析。陪同老太太来的是她80岁的儿子，他试图补充点什么，但被老太太给阻止了。这里attemp
32、t to do sth.相当于try to do sth.意思是试图做某事(但没有成功)。而manage to do sth.意思是成功做成某事；refuse to do sth.意思是拒绝做某事；continue to do sth.意思是继续做某事，显然都不符合语境。答案：C4解析：名词辨析。上文提到，老太太感觉上颚(upper jaw)有点痛，所以应该选择roof,49空所在的句子也有暗示。roof在此处的意思是牙床，上颚。corner角落，区域；bottom底部；surface表面。答案：A5解析：名词辨析。confirm确认。语意为：后来的检查确认这是一种严重的癌症。convince
33、(使)信服，说服；consider考虑；conclude推断，得出结论。答案：A6解析：名词辨析。由40空后的“a particularly bad sort of cancer”可以看出，在下次来看病时，我向她解释了病情的严重性(seriousness)。possibility可能性；importance重要性；resolution决心，解决。答案：C7解析：语境化选词。由语境可知，老太太一直以为自己身体很健康，所以要选fine，意思是：(身体)好的。下文的“Im just fine，honey，”也是暗示。答案：C8解析：名词辨析。作为医生，“我”一直在劝说老太太去找一位治疗癌症的外科医生
34、。老太太最终答应是因为两方面的原因，一方面是我的努力(effort)，另一方面是老太太的善良，因为她想让我高兴，她才答应去的。permission允许；support支持；approval同意，赞同。答案：D9解析：动词辨析。please意思是使高兴；取悦某人。解析见上题。persuade说服；encourage鼓励；astonish(使)震惊。答案：B10解析：动词辨析。因为老太太去看外科医生也是出于照顾“我”的面子，所以拒绝治疗也在我的预料之中。根据前面对老太太的描述(kindness)可知，“婉言拒绝”符合语境，因此选declined。provide提供；receive收到；requir
35、e需要。答案：A11解析：形容词辨析。解答此题的关键是空前的still，前文告诉我们，老太太一直很乐观，认为自己的病没有什么大碍，并拒绝了大夫的治疗，所以应该选择optimistic，意思是：乐观的，由上文可知她的病很严重，如果忽略了这一点，很容易误选A。答案：C12解析：考查介词的用法。in high spirits为固定用法，意思是“兴高采烈”。答案：B13解析：副词辨析。一个病入膏肓的病人在六个月后竟然精力充沛、神采依然，“我”很吃惊，也很困惑，所以选择confusedly，意思是“困惑地”。worriedly担心地；patiently有耐心地；confidently有信心地。答案：B1
36、4解析：动词辨析。cover覆盖。语意为：几乎覆盖整个牙床的癌症已经消失了，只留下一小片红。答案：A15解析：动词辨析。这里指的是癌症症状消失后留下的东西，所以选择remained，语意见上题。cure治愈；fade褪色；expand膨胀。答案：D16解析：副词辨析。由上文“Surprised to see her at all”，“I couldnt believe my eyes.”以及“That was my first miracle.”可以看出，这里的意思是：我读过类似的故事，但这之前从没有亲眼看到这样的事情发生。所以选never。答案：C17解析：形容词辨析。从那以后我看到了很多其
37、他类似的奇迹。这说明奇迹在变得越来越容易让人看到，由此可以看出，easier符合语境。rare稀少的；happy幸福的；close接近的。答案：A18解析：连词辨析。第二个分句是前一个分句的原因。句意为：并且人们都是奇迹，因为通过他们我们有机会了解我们自己，看见一个又一个的奇迹。for用来引出原因。答案：D19解析：语境化选词。这一部分重点讲的是看见身边的奇迹，所以要选see。该段的前两句都有暗示。答案：D20解析：语境化选词。对应前面的place，选择wherever，语意为：从第一次奇迹之后，我逐渐明白：奇迹发生的时间和地点就在我们选择发现它的地方。答案：B.阅读理解语篇解读美国普渡大学的
38、一项研究表明，女性缺铁的比例很高，从事体育运动的女性更是如此，这与女性的生理特点与饮食习惯都有关系 1解析：考查主旨大意。全文探讨了女性缺铁这个话题，探究女性缺铁与体育运动的关系，以及缺铁的三个阶段。答案：C2解析：考查篇章结构。第三段首先介绍该研究的结果：缺铁在女性中很普遍，然后从生理方面和饮食方面分析具体原因。答案：B3解析：考查细节理解。从第五、六两段可知，到了缺铁的第三个阶段时，体内的铁储备为零，此时你就会有麻烦，人会觉得虚弱，呼吸困难，由此判断选D。答案：D4解析：考查作者态度。本文从美国普渡大学的一项研究入手，介绍女性缺铁的现象，分析原因，陈述缺铁对人体的影响，缺铁的三个层次以及如
39、何预防和治疗缺铁现象。因此本文作者是客观地介绍该研究，而不是防备性的，说服性的或支持的。答案：D语篇解读文章介绍了有关“学校恐惧症”的症状、起因以及解决方法等 5解析：根据该词所在句中的“unable to be sure what is making them anxious”可知，这些孩子其实自己也不清楚为什么感到焦虑。答案：B6解析：通读第二段内容可知，真正引起“学校恐惧症”的原因可能是孩子在学校感到无聊，同时感到不安全。答案：D7解析：由第二段第三句话“In other words，if a childs grades are suffering from frequent absences or a parents job is disturbed，it is time to look closely at the issue.”可知应选A。答案：A8解析：通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了学校恐惧症的症状，分析了原因并给出了应对的建议，故B项当选。答案：B
