39、s more than 10,000 artificial objects and hours of interactive contents highlighting some of the best moments during the Olympics.Here are some of the museums most moving moments.”可知,本文是关于旅游的,因此会出现在报纸的旅游专栏。【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。工程师Tal Golesworthy患有马凡氏综合征,需要进行心脏手术。他有效地利用自己多年的研发工程师经验,用3D打印机打印出了他部分心脏的真实复制品,对症制造
40、了主动脉外部支撑,并得到了医生的支持。最终手术取得了成功。4.B解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的内容可知,手术后必须使用血液稀释剂以防止血凝块,但这种药物存在着风险,他担心会影响他的整个生活方式,所以起初他拒绝了手术。5.A解析 推理判断题。根据第三段尾句可知,他认为,学习新东西和开发新想法就是他的工作。根据第四段第一、二句可知,他认为,主动脉需要外部支撑,在主动脉外面裹上东西需要特殊手术。又结合下文中的“original”和“his own invention”以及介绍的手术的成功可以判断,是他的创新精神治好了他。6.C解析 词句猜测题。根据画线部分上句可知,他坚定的决心加上新颖而实用的解决
41、方案为他赢得了两位一流的外科医生的支持,并帮助他筹集了资金来实现他的想法。根据本文尾句可知,手术很成功。结合该句中的“for his own invention”可以判断,他自己成了此项发明的实验对象。故画线词意为“实验对象”。7.D解析 推理判断题。根据尾段第一句可知,他坚定的决心和新颖而实用的解决方案为他赢得了两位一流的外科医生的支持,故他是一位有决心的人。根据第三段倒数第二句“He decided he would fix himself”可知.他决定自己想办法治疗心脏,据此可以判断,他是一个勇敢的人。【破解长难句】Back in 1993,when he was living in t
42、he west of England,his doctor told him that the aorta(主动脉)in his heart was so enlarged that it would unavoidably burst unless he underwent a major operation.【分析】该句为主从复合句。句中when引导时间状语从句,第一个that引导宾语从句,其中使用了so.that.结构,表示“如此以至于”,that引导结果状语从句。【译文】早在1993年,当他住在英格兰西部的时候,他的医生告诉他,他的心脏主动脉太肥大了,如果不进行大手术,迟早会破裂。【语
43、篇导读】这是一篇说明文。一项研究认为,吃鸡蛋与心脏病风险的增加有联系,但是有科学家对此持不同观点,他们认为鸡蛋不是引起心脏病的原因。8.B解析 细节理解题。由第二段中的“At the start,the participants answered questions about the foods they ate.”可知,研究开始时,参与者被问到了关于“他们的饮食”的问题。故选B项。9.D解析 细节理解题。由第三段“Over time,there were 5,400 heart-related incidents among the group.This included 2,088 de
44、adly and non-deadly heart disease events and 1,302 deadly and non-deadly stroke events.It also included 1,897 deadly and non-deadly heart failure events and 113 other deaths from cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.”可知,本段的统计数字是关于参与者中心脏疾病病例的数量。10.C解析 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Eggs contain a lot of cholesterolabout 200
45、 milligrams.That is the highest daily amount recommended under current guidelines.Less than one egg a day on average is acceptable from a nutritional standpoint.”可知,从营养角度来看,每天少于一个鸡蛋是有益的,换句话说,有限度地吃鸡蛋是有益的。11.D解析 主旨大意题。由第一段中的“A new report links eating eggs to an increased risk of heart disease.”可知,第一段提
46、出新的研究结果表明,吃鸡蛋与心脏病风险的增加有联系,接下来文章用研究参与人员“发生心脏疾病病例”统计数字举证,说明了吃鸡蛋与心脏病风险的增加有关,所以A项“含鸡蛋的饮食可能与心脏病有关”最能概括本文内容,最适合作标题。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是一项新的分析发现,近几十年来,越来越多的女性科学家出现在儿童绘画中从20世纪60年代的几乎不存在,到2016年的约三分之一。12.D解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Ask a classroom of children to draw a scientist,and youll see plenty of colored lab coat
47、s and glasses.”和第二段“A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids drawings in recent decadesgoing from nearly nonexistent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016.”可知,在60年代孩子画的科学家图画里没有女性,故选D项。13.C解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Today,female scientists are being presented more in the media.”和“
48、That might really affect childrens idea on what a scientist should be like,says Miller,a Ph.D.candidate in psychology.”可知,更多的女性科学家出现在媒体上可能会导致孩子绘画的变化。14.B解析 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“That might really affect childrens idea on what a scientist should be like”及第四段中的“the researchers conducted a meta-analysis,combin
49、ing data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.”可知,研究者做研究是为了了解孩子对科学家的想法,因此画线词perception的意思是“想法”,即idea。15.A解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“What hasnt changed much:kids pick up stereotypes (模式化观念)by gender (性别) as they grow up.At age 6,about 70 percent
50、 of the girls in the more recent studies drew female scientists.By age 16,75 percent drew male scientists.This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes.”可推断出,科学家一般都是男性,这是一种刻板印象。.【语篇导读】本文是说明文,主要论述了几种降低文化差异影响、让交流沟通更和谐的方法,包括了解自己、与来自不同文化背景的人交谈和不要观念固化等。1.G解析 根据上句可知,坚持你所知道的而不是去结识与你不同的
51、人,这很容易。结合下文内容可知,空处应是一个转折句,起到承上启下的作用,说明尽力理解来自其他国家的人可以给你带来好处,所以G项符合语境。2.D解析 根据该段首句“Become self-aware”可知,该段主要陈述要了解自己;根据空处下句“This includes bias (偏见)about your own cultural background”可知,这包括对自己文化背景的偏见。据此可以判断,空处应与偏见有关。D项中的“bias”与空处下句中的“bias”对应。3.E解析 根据空处下句可知,你会自然而然地了解到更多关于他们的生活和经历的信息。结合常识可知,空处应说要像朋友一样对待他们,而不是直接问他们问题。4.F解析 根据该段首句“Be more accepting”可知,该段主要建议要接受对方的不同。根据空处下句可知,你不需要理解甚至赞同某人就可以接受他们。据此可知,空处应说要承认人们是不同的并接受这一点。5.B解析 根据空处所在的位置可知,空处为该段的主旨句。根据前文第二、三、四段首句可知,该句为祈使句;根据该段内容可知,该段主要说明不要对来自不同文化背景的人形成模式化的看法,B项中的“stereotypes”和该段尾句中的“Stereotyping”对应。
