12、 of climate change could be reduced if people prepared more语篇解读:本文是议论文。本文指出气候对人体的影响及相关应对措施。答案及剖析:1.C主旨大意题。全文指出气候改变对人体尤其是精神方面的影响及应对措施。故C项 正确。2.B推理判断题。由第四段“As a result,some people are forced to leave their homes and become so-called climate refugees”可知,由于天气变化的原因被迫弃家而去的一些人称之为climate refugees,可推知B项正确。3.
13、D推理判断题。由后四段尤其是最后两段的具体描述和倒数第三段的论断可知D项正确。BThe freezing Northeast hasnt been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter,so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota,Florida,my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”.I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C),thinking of beaches
14、 and orange trees.When we touched down to blue skies and warm air,I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness.Swimming pools,wine tasting,and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours,not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend,but the best part-particularly to my taste,dulled by months of cold-weather root
15、vegetables-was a 7 a.m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market,which was founded in 1979,sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.,rain or shine,along North Lemon and State streets.Baskets of perfect red strawberries;t
16、he red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all,the tomatoes: amazing,large,soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken,vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise,Ive refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I get them home they
17、re unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless.But I homed in,with uncertainty,on one particular table at the Browns Grove Farms stand,full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist.These were the real deal-and at that moment,I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating thi
18、ngs that back home in New York I wouldnt be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight,my happiness deepened when I learned that Browns Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,where-luckily for me-I was p
19、lanning to have dinner that very night.Without even seeing the menu,I knew Id be ordering every tomato on it.4.What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A.Exciting. B.Boring. C.Relaxing. D.Annoying.5.What made the authors getting up early worthwhile?A.Having a swim.B.Breathing in fres

D.They are juicy.7.What was the author going to do that evening?A.Go to a farm. B.Check into a hotel.C.Eat in a res
21、taurant. D.Buy fresh vegetables.语篇解读:本文为一篇记叙文。作者冬季去佛罗里达州的萨拉索塔度假,游泳池、品酒以及粉红色的晚霞都令作者陶醉不已。但是,最吸引作者的并不是这些,那么,到底是什么呢?大家快来读一读文章吧! 答案及剖析:4.B推理判断题。由第一段中的The freezing Northeast hasnt been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter和dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables可知,作者厌倦了纽约的冬天,因为那里根本没有乐趣,同
22、时也厌倦了冬天的根茎蔬菜,所以可以推断出作者认为纽约的冬天是令人厌烦、枯燥和单调的。故选B项。A项exciting“令人兴奋的”,显然与作者真实的感受相反;C项relaxing“令人放松的”,文中体现不出作者明显的放松情绪;annoying“令人恼怒的”,作者只是感觉“枯燥、单调”,并非“恼怒”。5.D细节理解题。根据题干关键信息词worthwhile可以定位到第一段的最后一句。由.the best part.was a 7 a.m.adventure to the Sarasota farmers market that proved to be more than worth the ea
23、rly wake-up call.可知,作者认为,早起去萨拉索塔农贸市场很值得,因此选D项。6.B细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的.Ive refused to buy winter tomatoes for years.可知,作者在纽约已经好多年不买冬季出售的西红柿了,然后通过No matter how attractive they look in the store,once I get them home theyre unfailingly dry,hard,and tasteless.可知,纽约冬季出售的西红柿只是看起来好看,但是吃着发干、很硬而且无味。故B项正确。A、C、D三项与作者
24、所描述的纽约冬季出售的西红柿的现实情况相反,故排除。7.C推理判断题。根据题干关键信息词that evening可定位到最后一段中的.I learned that Browns Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty,a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton,whereluckily for meI was planning to have dinner that very night.,句中的that very night是关键信息词。由此可知,这个农场是Jack
25、Dusty(一个新开的饭馆)的一个(蔬菜和水果)供应商,而幸运的是作者那晚正好要去这个位于Sarasota Ritz Carlton的饭馆吃饭。故C项正确。此处并未提到“晚上去一个农场”“入住一家宾馆”,因此可以排除A、B两项。文章最后一句话说的是在那个饭馆直接点(order)每一道带西红柿的菜,而不是D项所说的“买新鲜的蔬菜”。.语法填空(2018福建厦门质检)Last year,I met my friend Steve at a party.He invited me to take part in a teaching project over the winter break in

29、ges and have faith 10. myself.语篇解读:本文为记叙文。去年我的朋友史蒂夫邀请我在寒假期间去柬埔寨任教,我欣然接 受了。答案及剖析:1.interested考查形容词。本题采用了“The more.,the more.”句型。设空处作系动词became的表语,故用形容词形式。2.thinking考查非谓语动词。think与主语I之间为逻辑上的主动关系,故答案为thinking。3.excuses考查名词复数。根据下文可推知借口不止一个,故设空处填excuse的复数形式excuses。4.would have考查时态。设空处表示过去将来的事情,故用过去将来时。5.fe
30、lt考查时态。设空处表示过去的情况,故用一般过去时。6.finally考查副词。设空处需用副词作状语。7.and三个动词为递进关系,故用and连接。8.what“ I wanted to do”为宾语从句,该从句缺少宾语且表示“事物”,故用what引导。9.me考查代词。设空处需用代词宾格形式作taught的宾语。10.in考查介词。have faith in为固定短语,意为:信任。.短文改错When I was a child,I hoped to live in the city.I think I would be happy there.Now I am living in a cit
