23、iccups.DTo guide people how to cure daily hiccups.详解答案学业分层测评(四).1.C句意：老年人读报纸不仅是为了娱乐也是活跃他们心理的一个很好的方法。此句中not only置于句首，第一个分句要用部分倒装。2D第一个空用likely构成sth.is likely to do sth.结构，第二个空用possible构成it is possible for sb.to do sth.结构。3B句意：这个主意听起来不错，但是我们需要在实践中检验它。根据句中的关键词practice可知要用try out“试验，检验”。put out出版，熄灭； ta
24、ke out拿出；try on试穿。4C本题考查情态动词的用法。句意：来新学校之前我本没有必要担心，我这里的同班同学对我很友好。此处表示没有必要，故用neednt。neednt have done本没必要做。mightnt have done可能没做过；没有mustnt have done这一用法；couldnt have done不可能做过。5B本题考查省略句。句意：这里的气候宜人，_，在夏季气温极少达到30摄氏度。if not如果不；if ever如果曾经有，如果曾经发生；if any如果有的话；if so如果是这样的话。根据句中的关键词quite pleasant(宜人)，rarely(
25、极少)可知，空格处表达的意思是“如果曾经有(if ever)”。if ever相当于if it(the temperature) ever reached 30 in summer。6C考查动词辨析。句意：尽管许多中国人在国外居住多年，但他们仍然沿袭传统的风俗习惯。perform表演；possess拥有；observe 遵守，遵循；support支持。7A句意：这项研究缺少可靠的证据，因此，它的结论值得怀疑。A选项表示“可靠的，牢固的”；B选项表示“凶猛的”；C选项表示“严厉的，严峻的”；D选项表示“潜在的”。8A考查名词辨析。句意：大妈是指这样一群中国中年妇女，即：她们在珠宝店里很擅长找便宜
26、货，而且对金价有敏锐的警觉。bargain讨价还价，便宜货；basis基础；application应用；attention注意。根据句意，可知答案A符合语境。9D考查时态、语态及主谓一致。名词被quantities of修饰且作主语时，其谓语动词用复数形式，故B、C两项不正确；水是被污染的，所以需要用被动语态。故答案为D，现在完成时表示过去的动作(水被污染)或行为对现在造成的结果或影响(湖水的气味难闻)。10D本题考查冠词用法。句意：简的祖母多年来一直想写一本儿童读物，但是一件接一件的事情总是妨碍她写书。 childrens book的中心词是单数可数名词且第一次出现，并且此处表泛指，故其前需
27、加不定冠词；in the way为固定搭配，意为“挡道，碍事”，故D项正确。11A本题考查强调句型的判定。句意：让生活愉快的不是做我们喜欢的事情，而是喜欢那些我们不得不做的事情。从理解思路上先看本句是否是强调句型：It is/was被强调部分that其他部分。强调句型的判断方法是将It is/was与空格去掉，来验证此句是不是成分完整。经判断句子“Not doing the things we like but liking the things we have to do makes life happy.”成分完整，结构正确，由此可以断定本句是强调句型，所以空格处应用that。本题中包含结
28、构not.but.“不是而是”，连接平行的并列结构。12A考查名词辨析。句意：他较差的英语妨碍了他被武汉大学录取。ambition理想；inspiration灵感；destination目的地；approval批准，同意。空后的不定式短语起解释内容的作用，由此可知选A。13B句意：直升机就降落在我们眼前，令人十分惊讶。astonished(人)感到惊讶的；astonishing 令人惊讶的。14B考查形容词辨析。句意：在年度会议上荆门市长肖菊华强调相关部门要采取有效措施去确保外来务工人员子女的平等权利。apparent明显的；effective 有效的；elegant 优雅的；reasonab
29、le合理的。由句意可知选B。15B句意：“吉姆非常乐意帮助我。”“他的确是，但这并不意味着你一有问题就可以向他求助。”too ready to do sth.乐意做某事，too.to.结构中，too后接ready时，该结构表示肯定意义。turn to sb.向某人求助。.【语篇解读】置身于完全陌生且不尽如人意的国外环境中的人会体会到前所未有的压力。本文的主人公就经历过这样一段时光。1B联系空后的“with no elevators，no dishwashers and one washer for 300 families”可知，作者住在一所条件很差的公寓里。2D结合语境可知，由于是瓷砖地板且
30、冬天阴雨连绵，所以地板总是“冷的”。3C因为条件恶劣，所以作者“学会”了用手洗衣服。4B水贵是作者洗头发时速度很快的原因，因此用since引导原因状语从句。5A根据上文第4空后的water可知，此处指“洗”头发。6C根据第5空前的“water was so costly”可知，less than“少于”，符合语境。7A由于没有手机和因特网，所以作者六个月都没有和亲友“联系”。8B作者身边没有亲戚，所以作者“需要”自己面对现实。9B适应和创造生活的这种“能力”完全要靠作者自己，故选ability。10A参见上题解析。故选A项。11D根据语境可知，17岁的青少年正是需要朋友的时候，因此作者对朋友的
31、需要很强烈。strong“强的”，符合语境。12B说某种语言用speak，故选B。13C前两段介绍的都是作者在国外遇到的烦恼，本段介绍了更多的烦恼，因此此处选added。短语add to意为“使(数量)增加”。14D根据该空后的“that created stress”可知，此处指作者遇到的另一个“挑战”。15C由于作者是一名交换生，下一句又提到这个家庭的成员和作者住在一起，故此处指作者的寄宿家庭。16A根据该空后的“in a foreign language”可知，此处表示改善语言技能，从而在说外语时说得流利，故选fluency。17D在国外居住和流利地说外语都需要坚持和决心。determi
32、nation“决心”，符合语境。18B作者在适应国外生活的过程中犯了许多错误。along the way指“在这个过程中”。19D根据第二段末尾的stressful及第三段中的stress可知，作者在国外的经历是充满压力的。stressful“压力重的，紧张的”，符合语境。20B根据本句中的“provide me with insights”和“surpass future challenges”可知，此处表示这些经历会提供给作者战胜未来挑战的“信心”。.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了打嗝的原因及在日常生活中治疗打嗝的几种行之有效的方法。1B细节理解题。从第一段首句中的“Hiccups start when your diaphragm suddenly contracts”可知，当人们的隔膜紧缩时，便开始打嗝，故选B。2C细节理解题。从倒数第二段末句可知，文章虽然提到了很多有用的方法，但四个答案中只有C表述符合。3A词义猜测题。从文章的内容可知，为了不打嗝，人们吃饭时要慢慢享用，而不是狼吞虎咽，故选A，swallowing表示“吞咽”。4D推理判断题。文章分析了人们经常打嗝的原因，并且也提到了很多实用的治疗打嗝的方法。由此可见，作者写此文的目的是给人们提供治疗打嗝的方法，故选D。
