24、RAD能造成当事人暂时性听力丧失,但并不致命。2.D推理判断题。根据第三段内容可推断,英国发明的SilenceMachine能阻止那些不必要的声音影响你。3.D细节理解题。根据最后一段前两句内容可知,两者的相同之处在于,它们都集中在一个特定的区域。4.C推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推断,定向声可用于商业上不同的音乐选择。5.B主旨大意题。通读全文内容,并结合第一段内容可知,这篇文章主要介绍了在声音技术领域的一些发明。.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。暴风雨来临前,天空中聚集着很多云。在孩子的眼里,那变幻的云像犀牛、像狮子,孩子看到的只有美。1.A由文章第一句“Whitecloudsfilled
25、thesky.”可知,此处表示阳光穿过云层。burstthrough“冲破”,符合语境,故选A项。2.C此处指阳光穿过云层,传播着快乐和温暖(warmth)。3.C根据第一段的“Olivialaybackontheblanket.theamazingsky”可知,奥利维娅躺在毛毯上,欣赏(admiring)着令人惊奇的天空。4.B根据上文的“Afterthemeal”,可知,父亲在饭后打包(wrap)野餐的食物。故选B项。5.D由下文的“Thatcloudlookslikeapenguin,”可知,奥利维娅看到的云(cloud)看起来像犀牛,故选D项。6.B根据空前的“Isthere?Ican
26、tseeit,Dadsighed.”可知,父亲摇头(shake)说没有看到。7.B根据下文父亲的回答“Iseeaturkey,”可知,奥利维娅问父亲在云里是否看到了动物(animal),故选B项。8.A根据空后的“hercloserwithhiswarmhands”可知,父亲用温暖的手把女儿拉(pull)近。push“推”;carry“携带”;take“拿”。故选A项。9.C此处指看到了飞行的(flying)鹦鹉。crawl“爬行”;play“玩”;hunt“狩猎”。故选C项。10.B根据空前面的“Imsorrytostopourfun,”以及下文内容可知,此处表转折,故选B项。11.D此处指
27、父亲伸手去够(reachfor)野餐篮。turnover“翻倒”;lookafter“照顾”;bringin“引入”。故选D项。12.D此处表示如果不是(unless)要下雨,云不会聚集,故选D项。13.B此处指雨滴落(fall)在奥利维娅的前额上,故选B项。14.C奥利维娅看到下雨了,于是帮助父亲收起(get)毯子。throw“扔”;expand“扩大”;cover“覆盖”。故选C项。15.A根据“OntheirwayhomeOliviaoutofthewindow.”可知,此处指他们冲向车(car),故选A项。16.C奥利维娅在回家的路上盯着(stare)窗外看。故选C项。17.A根据下文
28、的“Beautyisintheeyeofthe,”可知,奥利维娅问父亲“暴风雨来临前天空总是那么美(beautiful)吗?”故选A项。18.D“Beautyisintheeyeofthebeholder”为固定用法,意为“情人眼里出西施”。故选D项。19.A遗憾的(pitiful)是有些人永远看不到云里的犀牛或火鸡。故选A项。20.D通过(through)孩子的眼睛观察世界,世界每天都是新奇的、有魅力的。故选D项。.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“我”与丈夫在巴黎待着的一周时间内,体会巴黎人的生活方式,感悟巴黎的与众不同之处。1.F根据下文“Sothefirstthingwed
29、idwasrentafantasticallyexpensivesixth-floorapartmentthesizeofacupboard.”可知,这里表示所以“我”们做的第一件事就是租了一个非常昂贵的六楼公寓。据此可推测,空格内容与下一句之间构成了因果关系。F项“我们的目的是看看,在某种程度上,我们能否像真正的巴黎人那样生活”与下文能够形成因果关系。2.C结合下文“Ourbuildingevenhadatinyliftwithafemalevoicethatsaid,Ouverturedesportes,inperfectFrench.”可知,本部分是在描述公寓的配套设施等内部情况。C项“
30、有一个漂亮的厨房和一张舒适的床”正是对公寓内部的介绍。3.G通读本段可知,本段主要讲述了巴黎的饮食。与之表述在意义和语境上有重叠的是D项、E项和G项。结合空前后出现的关键词greatfood,Frenchstrawberries以及flavorbombs等可知,G项“食物是如此美味,你不需要太多就能使你快乐”符合语境。4.E结合上一段内容,再根据本段内容,尤其是最后一句“Buttheycost$18!”可知,本段主要讲述“巴黎食物的价格较贵”这一点。E项“那并不是法国人吃得比我们少的唯一原因”,既对上一段内容进行了总结,又引出了法国人吃得少的另一个原因。5.A结合空前内容“Frenchcafsarealwayscrowded.”及空后的内容“Whendothesepeoplework?”可知,A项“并不是所有的顾客都是游客”,与上下句表述内容一致,且空后的thesepeople是答题的关键。
