27、程的描述以及第二段中的“manypeopledoubtedwhetherhecouldreachhisgoalof$100，000,butitdidnshakehisfaith.”可知，尽管很多人怀疑他能否在四年中完成这件事，但是他信念坚定。由此可见他是“意志坚定的”。2b解析：句意理解题。根据下文中的“wedecidedtodomore”以及“joshspennyhouseisbeingbuiltbyhabitatforhumanityrestoreinthecityofoshawa,alongwith24newtownhouses.joshhashelpedwithsomeofthecon

28、struction”可知，捐款势头一直保持下去，他收到了比最初目标更多的钱，于是打算做更多，他帮助建造“joshspennyhouse”以及24所新住宅来帮助需要的人，所以画线处意为“他继续收到捐款”。3d解析：标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了一名11岁的少年经过几年不懈的努力，实现了为低收入家庭募捐建房的梦想的经历。本文提到的“joshspennyhouse”是解题的暗示。故选d项。【技巧点拨】“标题归纳”属于文章主旨要义的考查范畴，考生要明确标题设定的基本种类与方法。一般说来，标题设定通常有三种方法：用最简练的语言概括文章的中心思想；用人名、地名、事件名称等作为标题；用特殊句型，如疑问句(who

29、ami)、祈使句(comeandeathere)和其他修辞手段来设定。【解题导语】本文介绍了新技术革命给经济领域带来了很大影响，会产生严重的失业问题。同时，本文也鼓励人们应该把握新的机遇去创造更多的就业机会。4d解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“britainfacessocialproblemsaslotsofpeoplearesettolosetheirjobsintechnologicalrevolution”以及第二段中的“thedarksideofthechangecouldbeamuchbiggerbreakdownofemploymentthaninvictoriantimes,

30、with.amongthoseatrisk.”可知，这次改变的阴暗面是将会引发比维多利亚时期更严重的就业问题，在新技术革命中许多人将会失去工作。故选d项。5c解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，人们之所以会失业，是因为新技术创造出来的机器会替代人们从事很多方面的工作。反之，经济学家能够幸免是因为目前还没有一项技术能扮演他们的角色。故选c项。6d解析：观点态度题。文章多处提到霍尔丹担心新技术革命造成人们失业的现象在未来会越来越严重，由此可知，霍尔丹对于未来的就业形势是担忧的。故选d项。【长难句分析】mr.haldanesaidthehollowing-out(空洞化)experiencedi

31、nthepastyearscouldbeonagreaterscaleinthefuture,soitisimportanttolearnthelessonsofhistoryandinsurethatpeoplearegiventrainingtotakeadvantageofnewopportunities.分析：本句是一个主从复合句。said后面是一个省略了that的宾语从句，在这个宾语从句中“thehollowing-outexperiencedinthepastyears”充当主语；so引导结果状语从句，在这个.状语从句中包含itisadjtodosth.句式，it在这里充当形式主语

32、，learn和insure是由and连接的两个并列的动词不定式结构。译文：霍尔丹表示，过去几年经历的空洞化在将来的规模会更大，因此，从历史中吸取教训并确保人们在接受培训时能够把握住新的机会是很重要的。【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“蜂鸟班”积极响应一个环保教育项目。该班由9岁和10岁的孩子组成，他们通过写诗和制作在线视频广告以提醒成年人注意环保问题。b7解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的内容，尤其是第一句“nine-year-oldisobelkelleherfromtheschoolshummingbirdsclassthinksadultsneedtotakenote.”可知，学校“蜂鸟班”里9岁的伊泽贝尔认为成年人需要注意环保问题；据此可推知，成年人在环保问题上没有做得很好，故b项正确。8b解析：细节理解题。根据第三段尾句“theentirehummingbirdsclass,whichismadeupof9and10yearoldpupils,hasbeenbusywritingpoemsandcreatingonlinevideoadvertisementstowarnadultsabouttheserioussituationofouroceansandwildlife.”可知，整个“蜂鸟
