When you turn on the water, the bacteria go from the showerhead onto and into your body.This is a finding of Norman R. Pace and his team at the University of

32、选C句意:对孩子们来说,经常与父母交流想法是必要的,这样他们之间的代沟才能缩小。narrow除作形容词表示狭窄的之外,还可以作动词,表示“使缩小,使变窄”。 release“释放,发布”;replace“代替”;disappear“消失”。4选D句意:最近,他行为特别怪异,我想知道什么才能解释他的行为。answer for“对负责”;wish for“希望得到”;ask for “要求”;account for“说明/解释原因;对负责任”。5选A句意:或许你去过很多国家,但任何地方你都找不到如此美丽的宫殿。nowhere句子句首,位于应用倒装语序,由前一分句中的时态可知应选A。来源:Z,xx,
33、k.Com6选C句意:在经历了一场特大地震并沦为废墟之后不久,这座城市又呈现出新的面貌。句中主语the city与reduce之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,故要用被动形式,再结合前面的结构可知,a massive earthquake与空格处所需分词是并列关系,都作from的宾语,故用being reduced结构。7选B句意:无论何时我找他帮忙,他都会毫不犹豫地帮助我,这让我很感动。hesitate to do sth.“迟疑干某事”,符合句意。8选A“没认出”这一动作发生在说话前,因此第一个空应用一般过去时;第二个空为虚拟语气,与过去事实相反,因此用过去完成时。9选Battach 与介词to 搭
34、配,意为“附上,附加”,故定语从句用to which引导。10选A句意:“妈妈,别担心。医生说这只是感冒。”“终于可以松口气了!我将告诉你爸爸这没什么严重的。”what a relief“真是松了口气”;congratulations“祝贺”;how surprising“多么令人惊讶啊”;Im so sorry“我很抱歉”。根据句意可知A项正确。11选D句意:我们的公司正运转良好。我们雇用了很多当地的妇女生产具有独特设计的手工制品,这些产品在海外畅销。we和employ之间是逻辑上的主动关系,故用现在分词形式;不定式位于句首常作目的状语,不合题意。12选C句意:甚至在一些发达国家,残疾人被拒
35、绝医疗服务的几率比其他人高三倍。倍数的表示方式是“倍数adj./adv.(比较级)than”或“倍数asadj./adv.(原级)as”,故选C。13选C句意:我们给他提供了这个职位,但是我一点都不知道他是否会接受这个职位。根据“I dont have the slightest idea”可知,此处表示不确定,且连词在从句中不充当成分,故选whether“是否”,它引导的是idea的同位语从句。if也可表示“是否”,但不可以引导同位语从句。14选D句意:由于长时间没人理会,坐在后面的这个孩子感到无聊就出去了。句子的主语the boy 与动词 ignore 之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,且根据时间状
36、语 for a long time, 可知应用现在分词的完成被动式,强调前面发生的动作对后面的事情造成的影响。15选D从前后不一致的说法可以得知中间用表示相反意思的关联词。above all“最重要的是”;whats more“而且”;as a result“结果”;on the contrary“正相反”。.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个河道清理工数十年如一日地义务清理河道的故事。1选D细节理解题。根据文章第五段第二句和第六段中的“I saw thousands of.I got sick of seeing it and just wanted to do”可推知,Preg

Pace建议打开喷头让水先流30秒后再淋浴,这是因为此时细菌的数量会比刚打开喷头时少很多。7选C推理判断题。根据第三段的第二句可知,只有那些免疫力差的人才需要担心细菌,免疫力强的人没有理由担心。8选A词义猜测题。根据下文中的“Only those with a weak immune system might need to worry.”可知,Pace应该是说它们不会对健康造成威胁。pose“造成,引起”。9选A细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的第三、四句可知,火车的运动将户外的新鲜空气带入了通道。高考资源网版权所有,侵权必究!
