Howd you like tobe ducked?With that hepicked me up and threw me into the deep end.”（然后来了个大男孩。 他大喊：“嗨，瘦子！”你喜欢逃避吗？他抱起我，把我扔进了深水区。）be ducked 意为“躲 闪、躲避。”可知这个大男孩认为我是可以勇敢地游泳。故选 C。3.细节理解题。由最后一段“I had conquered my fear of water.”（我已经克服了对水的恐 惧。）可知，我对水已经不害怕了。选项 D 与文意相符，故选 D。4.主旨大意题。根据文章最后
89、一段“When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, Well, Mr. Terror, what doyou think you can do to me? I had conquered my fear of water.”（当我在湖中央时，我脸朝下面，只看到无底的水。 我笑着说：“好吧，恐怖先生，你认为你能对我做什么？” 我 克服了对水的恐惧。） 再结合文章，可知作者主要对自己从小害怕水又到克服水的经历 的
90、描述。所以主题应该是克服对水的恐惧。选项 B 符合文章主题，适合做标题，故选 B。28D29C30A31D【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是 Facebook 因种族言论和仇恨问题遭到了抵制，从而 遭受了不小的损失。28细节理解题，根据第二段中“The Stop Hate for Profit campaign claims the platform doesnt do enough to remove racist and hateful comments from its site.(Stop Hate for Profit 组织声 称，该平台在删除网站上的种族主义和仇恨言论方面做得不
91、够)”可知，Facebook 遭到抵 制的原因对于种族歧视和仇恨言论平台监管不力。故选 D。29词句猜测题。根据划线部分所在句“But despite the huge share price reduction, some believe this boycott will only scratch the surface.(但尽管股价大幅下跌，一些人认为这种抵制只会 触及表面)”可推知，划线部分意为“Facebook 不会受到抵制活动的很大影响”。故选 C。30推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Zuckerberg has shown sone signs of flexibility (灵
92、活性) following an announcement that the site would begin to make hateful content. But this pales compared to measures form other sites.(扎克伯格在宣布该网站将开始制作仇恨内容后，表 现出了一些灵活的迹象。但这与其他地区相比就相形见绌了) ”可知，扎克伯格的措施还 是显得苍白，不够有效。故选 A。31.推理判断题。根据最后一段“This year is going to be a rocky year for all social media companies.
93、 If the boycott goes on into the autumn and if more and more companies sigh up, this could be a defining year for the social network.(对于所有社交媒体公司来说，今年将是 艰难的一年。如果抵制活动持续到秋季，如果越来越多的公司加入，今年可能是社交网 络的决定性一年) ”可推知，作者对社交媒体的未来是不确定的。故选 D。32D33D34A35B【分析】 这是一篇议论文。文章论述了不同文化中沉默的不同含义，同时表明，可以在医疗中充分利用沉默的治愈价值。32细节理解题。
94、根据第一段中的“The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.”可知， 沉默的含义因文化群体而异。也就是说，不同的文化中，沉默的含义是不一样的。由此 可知，沉默因文化的不同而不同。故选 D。33细节理解题。根据第二段“Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, wh
95、en a person one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied（暗示）is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said beforecontinuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.”可知，许多美国土著珍视沉默， 认为它是人与人之间交流的一个基本部分，就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人所做的一 样。因此，当这些文化背景中的某一种人
96、说话时突然停住，这可能暗示着这个人想让听 者在继续之前考虑一下他说了什么。在这些文化中，沉默是一种思考。该部分中，these cultures 应该指的是中国和泰国文化。故选 D。34细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own
97、 personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. Anurse who understands the healing（治愈）value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.”可知，当护士
98、和其他护理人员 遇到病人可能正在经历的个人焦虑时，他们需要意识到沉默的可能含义。护士应该认识 到自己对沉默的个人和文化建构，这样病人的沉默才不会被过早打断或被允许不必要地 继续下去。懂得沉默的治愈价值的护士可以利用这种理解来帮助自己和其他文化中的病 人。由此可知，作者建议护士们要充分利用沉默的治愈价值来帮助病人。故选 A。35 主旨大意题。第一段提出：沉默的含义因文化群体而异。第二和第三段作者介绍了不同 文化群体中沉默的含义和作用。最后一段介绍了沉默在医疗方面的作用。总而言之，文 章在介绍沉默的含义。B 选项“沉默意味着什么?”最适合作文章标题。故选 B。36B37E38A39C40G【分析】
