36、.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule.

41、ng. Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional wellbeing.【解题导语】“我”认为英语中最悲伤的两个词是“if only”,因为它们表达了遗憾。父亲在“我”小时候经常告诉我们花费额外的时间也要把事情做好来避免遗憾,“我”听从父亲的建议并认为这样做是对的。4Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language?ABecause peopl

43、, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.”可知,“我”认为英语中最令人伤心的两个词是“if only”,因为这两个词表达了后悔、错失的机会、错误和失望,故选B项。5Whats the meaning of the underlined word “forgone” in Paragraph 3?AGiven up.BCome across.CGot through.DHeld back.A解析:词义猜测题。该词所在的句子表达的意思是:我们都认识这样的人,他们在失去所爱之人后会后悔错失了说“我爱你”或“我原谅你”的机会。所以画线词表示
44、“失去了”,和短语give up意思接近。故选A项。6The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _Asee a doctorBfinish her workCjoin a celebrationDaccompany her fatherD解析:细节理解题。题干中的关键信息“decided to go to her office”对应原文中的“I had decided to go to work”,由此定位到倒数第二段。从倒数第二段可以看出,“我”知道父亲要去自己办公室对面看眼科医生时,本来打算按原计划休假,但突然意识到父
45、亲已经84岁了,所以“我”决定即便是自己的休息日,为了陪父亲,也会去上班。故选D项。7What is the best title for the passage?AAdvice from My FatherBAvoidance of Saying “If Only”CThe “Extra Minute” RuleDThe Importance of Emotional WellbeingB解析:标题归纳题。根据首尾段的第一句话及文章大意可知,本文主要是针对避免说英语中最伤心的两个词 “if only” 进行阐述的,所以B项 “避免说if only” 符合全文内容。CFor many year

51、lmost all parts of New Guinea,animals are hunted for food, and because of this,they are very cautious of people,”he explains.“This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”Scientists believe the area is proba
52、bly the largest untouched forest in Asia.Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outeredges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods.The wooded area is approximately a 10day walk from the nearest village.Bexler and his team did no

54、在新几内亚岛发现了一些新物种的故事。8Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?AAdventurous.BCautious.COptimistic.DCareful.A解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可知,Bruce Bexler梦想去人类从未到过的地方,开辟一条未经探索的路并且发现罕见的奇异物种。因此可以推断Bruce Bexler是一个具有冒险精神的(Adventurous)人,故选A项。9What does Bruce Bexler mean in Paragraph 5 when he says “We were like kids in a c

56、过的事物感到惊奇。因此“We were like kids in a candy store”指的是Bruce Bexler在这个杳无人烟的地方因为发现了许多未曾见过的新物种而非常激动。故选B项。10Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up?AThe scientists seemed to be very friendly.BThe scientists were skilled in handling animals.CThe animals had been welltrained by the lo
57、cal people.DThe animals had no experience or fear of people.D解析:细节理解题。根据第七段中的“Bexler thinks the animals werent scared because they had never seen humans before.”可知,一些动物允许科学家把它们抱起来是因为它们之前没有见过人类,它们不害怕人类。故选D项。11What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored?AThe best way to explore the area
58、is by helicopter.BThe area has not been visited by scientists for many years.CThe area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science.DThe locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods.C解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovere
