98、eded in starting a big company.”(Cathy,她的父母没能上大学,却成功创办了一家大公司。)中的Cathy最有可能接受和完成高等教育。文章中的“your parents did not go to collegeif your family is wealthy.”和D选项中的“whose parents failed to attend college but succeeded in starting a big company”相呼应,故选D。【42题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的Two common forms of nudging are email
99、s to students and text messages to their mobile phones.(两种常见的推动的方式是给学生发电子邮件和手机短信。)可知,推动理论通过发电子邮件和短信帮助学生,故选D。【43题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Acosta says messages must be timelyThe message should give information about what kinds of support the college or university offers and exactly how the student can make

118、d had covered it long after wheat should have been planted, and it lay there cracked and like clay but newly dried.”(但今年地里什么都没有。土地上没有麦子,因为本该早在小麦种下之后,洪水早已把它淹没,土地裂开,像新干的黏土。)可知,根据第一段,刘不知道春天的到来是因为那贫瘠的土地什么都没有。文章中“There was no wheat on it, for the flood had covered it long after wheat should have been pla
119、nted, and it lay there cracked and like clay but newly dried.”和选项C中的“barren”(贫瘠的)相呼应;文章中“the land told nothing”呼应选项C中“field told nothing”,故选C。【46题详解】词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“water buffalo that plowed the good land to him”(能犁好地的水牛),可推断,对农民来说,能犁好地的水牛非常重要,所以如果有人告诉他,把能犁好地的水牛吃掉,他会叫那个人傻瓜。可知第二段划线单词“idiot”和“fool”(傻瓜)意
120、思接近,故选B。【47题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“If anyone had told him that he would eat his own water buffalo that plowed the good land to him; he would have called that man idiot.”(如果有人告诉他,他将吃掉那头能犁好地的水牛,他会叫那个人傻瓜。)和第三段倒数第二句“When he did it, even in his despair, he screamed, for it was as though he killed his own broth
121、er.”(当他这么做的时候,尽管很绝望,他尖声叫,因为这就像他杀死了自己的兄弟。),可知,杀牛为食是刘最不愿做的事,故选D。【48题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But what else could they do on that dark winter s day when the last of their store of grain was gone, when the trees were cut and sold, when he had sold everything, even the little they had saved from the flood, and t

123、he killed his own brother.”( 但是,在那个漆黑的冬天,当他们储存的最后粮食耗尽,当树木被砍伐卖掉,卖掉了所有的东西,甚至他们从洪水中拯救出来的那一点点东西,除了他们的破房子和他们穿的破衣服他们什么都没有,他们还能做什么呢?把衣服从身上脱下来喂肚子有意义吗?他拿起菜刀走了出去,杀死了自己的牲口。当他这么做的时候,很绝望,他尖声叫,因为这就像他杀死了自己的兄弟。)可知,什么吃的东西都没有,由于饥荒,刘没办法最终把自己的水牛杀死了,这就是冬天的饥荒从他们那里夺走的东西。文章中“dark winter s day”呼应C选项中的“winter”,文中“when the la
124、st of their store of grain was gone”呼应C选项中的“famine”,故填C。【49题详解】推理判断题。根据文章几个描述“his thin body ”( 他瘦弱的身体),“ He ached to plow it up and make it look like a field again, yes, even though he had not so much as one seed to put in it.”(他渴望把地犁起来,让它看起来又像块田地,是的,尽管他连一粒种子都没有种进去。),“there was nothing left except t

127、是“Barren Spring”( 贫瘠的春天),故选A。【点睛】文章主旨大意题中的标题判断一般可以从文章的第一段和最后一段里找到。例如第6小题,根据第一段中的“It was a warm evening in late February, and in his thin body he felt the coming of springBut the land told nothing this year. There was no wheat on it, for the flood had covered it long after wheat should have been plan
