10、tood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a basket of chum into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the boxes of bikes began to gradually

11、decrease, I saw my opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of them. I lifted it off and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest men I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not enough to describe his presence. He was decorated with numerous leather

12、belts with metal buttons around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos （纹身）were an obvious passion of his.I started to loosen the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas/My w

13、ife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a human heart in a simple act of a stranger broke all preconceived notions （先入为主）I may have had. I will never forg

15、nforgettable Bike.【答案】1,B2.C3. AThe man needed it more.D. The man got the box first.B. The Largest Man I Have Ever Seen.D. A Shopping Experience.【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。当地百货商店在Black Friday促销，作者夫妇希望给儿子买一辆打折的自 行车作为圣诞礼物。在争抢过程中一位壮汉把到手的自行车让给了作者，这令作者非常感动。 【1题详解】词义猜测题。根据第一段的 It was like throwing a basket of chum into

16、 a tank of sharks.（这就像把 一篮chum扔进一箱鲨鱼）及上文内容可知，购物的人群在等待经理的哨声，哨声响起人群就 涌进了商店，就像在鲨鱼池投入食物一样引起骚动。由此可知，划线词chum相当于food,故 选B。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中 I looked up to see one of the largest men I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not enough to describe his presence. He was decorated with numerous leather belt

17、s with metal buttons around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos were an obvious passion of his.（我抬头看到了我一生中见过的最大的男人之一。恐怖还不足以形容他的存在。他的手臂甚 至脖子上都装饰着许多金属纽扣的皮带。纹身显然是他的爱好）可知，这位和作者一同抓住箱 子的男士身材壮硕，穿着怪异并且身上有纹身。由此推断，作者有点胆怯，不由自主就松开 了手。故选C。【3题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中 All the way home I was thinking that this moment was

18、by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received.（在回家的路上，我一直认为这一刻是我收到的最好的圣诞 礼物）可知，文章背景是圣诞日期间，一位陌生人主动把自行车让给作者，作者非常感动，感 觉这是自己收到的最好的圣诞礼物，由此可知A项“最好的圣诞礼物”不仅切合文章主题， 而且能够吸引读者兴趣。B项“我见过的最高大的人”和C项“一辆难忘的自行车”关注的方 向偏离主题；D项“一次购物经历”略显平淡，没有突出文章主题，也很难勾起读者阅读的欲 望。故选A。BOne of the costs of being a lover of old trees i

19、s the all-too-frequent loss of a beautiful soul youve grown fond of.Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters.The springs nonstop rains flooded soils and caused root systems of many large,old trees to rot in part.Then,when the summer came,trees could not tap deep sour

20、ces of water that would normally have maintained（维持）them.Many valuable old trees died.When I volunteered on the Mount Rainier Tree Commission,! heard from many people concerned about their trees.We had little to offer them.Thats because public and private urban tree resources and programs were aimed

21、 almost entirely at planting trees and not at all maintaining trees.No state or province program that I could find provided any financial resources for maintaining tree health. Small and under resourced cities such as ours were on their own.This is backward.Scientists are learning that large,old tre

22、es are the most valuable,especially in cities.They put on wood fastest and take the most carbon out of the air. They harbor the most wildlife.They can lower summer temperatures by 20 degrees or more.In a recent study,researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from keeping the trees it has

23、alive than from planting new trees.There*s reason to think this finding would apply in other cities,too.Now,our public and private tree programs often ignore old trees until it is too late.As long as we abandon our old trees,planting more is merely to keep pace with growing losses. We want trees to

24、help protect us,but we leave them unprotected.Consider this in the human world:Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it. Children need caring for and its why we have schools and child health-insurance programs.We could get so much more out of our trees if we just put a l

25、ittle more into them.What does the underlined part in paragraphl suggest?Strong determination to plant trees.Real regret at growing old trees.Great concern about tree problems.Deep love for valuable old trees.Why was the author almost powerless to help people worried about their trees?The urban tree

26、 programs were faced with financial problems.The authors knowledge of maintaining tree health was limited.The focus of the tree resources and programs was on tree planting.The organization the author volunteered on was short of tree experts.The author argues in paragraph 3 paring different casespres

27、enting research findingsreferring to scientists sayingscarrying out some experimentsWhy does the author give the example of nursing babies in the end?To stress the importance of tree insurance programs.To show the close connection between trees and babies.To advocate protecting trees as humans care

28、for babies.To persuade human beings to pay more attention to babies.【答案】4.D5. C 6. B 7.C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。通过对一些古树死去，大树能够提供人们的资源的描述，来提 倡我们要保护树木，才能从树木身上获取更多的益处。【4题详解】推理判断题 根据第一段 Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters. . Many valuable old trees died.去年夏天对于古树和它们的人类支

29、持者来说比以往 任何时候都艰难。春季不间断的雨水淹没了上壤，导致许多大型古树根系部分腐烂。然后， 当夏天到来时，树木就不能从深层的水源中获取水分，而这些水分通常可以维持它们的生长。 许多珍贵的古树死了。对于古树和人类支持者来说都很艰难，因为他们失去了他们喜爱的古 树。由此可以推断第一句主要描述的是古树爱好者对古树的爱，故选及【5题详解】细行理解题 根据第二段 When I volunteered on the Mount Rainier Tree Commission, I heard from many people concerned about their trees. We had l

30、ittle to offer them. Thats because public and private urban tree resources and programs were aimed almost entirely at planting trees and not at all maintainingtrues.当我在雷尼尔山树木委员会做志愿者时，我听到许多人关心他们的树木，我们几乎没有什么可以提供给他们，这是因为公共和私人城市树木资源和项目几乎完全是为了种树，而不是维护树木。由此可知作者无力帮助担心树木的人们，是因为树木资源和计划的重点是植树。故选C。【6题详解】 推理判断题

31、。根据文章第三段 In a recent study, researchers found that Boston would get more benefit from keeping the trees it has alive than from planting new trees. Theres reason to think this finding would apply in other cities, too.在最近的一项研究中，研究人员发现，波士顿从保持现 有树木存活中获得的好处要比种植新的树木多。我们有理由认为，这一发现也适用于其他城 市。由此判断出本段是通过提出调查结果

32、来进行论证的。故选B。【7题详解】推理判断题& 根据最后一段 Consider this in the human world: Nobody would send a baby into the world and expect it to just make it. Children need caring for and its why we have schools and child health-insurance programs. We could get so much more out of our trees if we just put a little more in

33、to them.想想人类世界的情况吧：没有人会把一个婴儿送到这个世界上，然后指望他能活下 来。孩子们需要照顾，这就是为什么我们有学校和儿童健康保险计划。我们可以从我们的树 木中得到更多，如果我们只是多关心他们一点。由此比喻可以推断作者是在呼吁人们要关心 和保护树木。故选C。【点睛】推理判断题的推断对象主要包括隐含意思、目标读者、观点态度、文章出处、写作 意图等。以推断隐含意义的题目居多。推断隐含意义，即要求根据文章的某个句子、段落或 全文所提供的事实进行逻辑推理，推断出作者没有提到、没有明说或者可能发生的事实。题 干中常含 infer （推断），suggest （暗示），imply （暗示），

34、indicate （暗示），conclude （推断, 得出结论）等词语。解此类题，首先找到相关信息，然后细读、理解相关信息的字而意义， 最后结合语境和常识，在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断，从而理解作者的言外之意。 如小题 1,根据第一段 Last summer was harder than most for old trees and their human supporters. . Many valuable old trees died.去年夏天对于古树和它们的人类支持者来说比以往 任何时候都艰难。春季不间断的雨水淹没了土壤，导致许多大型古树根系部分腐烂。然后， 当夏天到来时，

35、树木就不能从深层的水源中获取水分，而这些水分通常可以维持它们的生长。 许多珍贵的古树死了。对于古树和人类支持者来说都很艰难，因为他们失去了他们喜爱的古 树。由此可以推断第一句主要描述的是古树爱好者对古树的爱，故选D。Time and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum （包U罢）and is not psychological time, which leaps wit

36、h little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, When you sit with a nice Rirl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.11Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months

37、 and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach.Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly

38、. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere weve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when we/ll arrive, we experience the trip as lasing a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of t

39、he outward journey has become routine.When days become as identical as beads （，卜身;子）on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your day- to stop time, so to speak.Learning something new is one of the ways to sl

40、ow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems to be full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of usz learning ends when we leave school, but this doesnt have to be.What is the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 used to show?Psychological ti

41、me is quite puzzling.Time should not be measured by a pendulum.Physical time is different from psychological timePhysical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of timeWhy do units of time fly faster as we grow older?Our sense of time changes.We spend less time at the beachMore time is structu

42、red and scheduledTime is structured with too many appointments.What does Novelty“ in paragraph 3 probably mean?A. excitementB. unfamiliarityC. imaginationD.amusementWhat is the purpose of the passage?To give various explanations about timeTo describe how we experience time physicallyTo show the diff

43、erences of two kinds of timeTo explain why time flies and how to slow it down【答案】8.C9.C10. B 11. D【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是同样的事情，同样的时间，但是心理层面的时间和物理 概念的时间是有差别的。文章解释了时间为什么过的很快，以及怎样让它变慢。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据划线句子的上一句 Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum and is not p

44、sychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar（物理学家创造了有趣的理论，但他们的时间是通过钟摆衡量的，而不是心理时间，心 理时间和钟表或日历没有关系。）可推测，划线句子是为了说明物理概念的时间和心理的时间 是有区别的。C. Physical time is different from psychological time（物理时间和心理时间是有区别 的）符合以上说法，故选C项。【9题详解】细节理解题根据第二段的 They also note that the more time is st

45、ructured with schedules and 叩pointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass.（他们还指出，日程表和约会安排的越多，时间 似乎过得就越快。）可知，因为单位时间是被规划好的，所以越是细致规划的时间，看上去就 过的越快。C. More time is structured and scheduled（更过的时间被规划和安排）符合以上说法， 故选C项。【10题详解】词义猜测题 根据第三段的 Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when well arriv

46、e, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. The novelty of the outward journey hasbecome routine.（周围是不熟悉的环境，不知道我们何时到达，我们经历的旅行似乎持续了很 长时间。外面世界的novelty已经成了家常便饭。）根据句意可知，因为对周边环境的不熟悉才 觉得时间过得慢，而这种情况成为我们生活的一种常规了。由此猜测，划线部分的意思是“不熟悉“。B.unfamiliarity（不熟悉）符合以上说法，故选B项。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其最后一段的Learning

47、something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesnt have to be.（学习新的东西是减缓时间流逝的方法之一。我们的青春岁月之所以 充实而漫长，其中一个

48、原因就是这些是学习和发现的日子。对于我们很多人来说，离开学校 就是学习的结束，但这不一定非得这样。）可知，作者写篇文章的是为了陈述为什么时间过的 很快，以及怎样让时间变慢 D. To explain why time flies and how to slow it down（为了解释为什 么时间流逝的快，以及如何让它变慢）符合以上推测，故选D项。DHardware in general, and smartphones in particular; have become a huge environmental and health problem in the Global South1

49、 s landfill sites（垃圾填埋场）.Electronic waste（e-waste） currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste, and it is set to increase rapidly as more of us own more than one smartphone, laptop and power bank.

53、amage the immune system at a level thats about 220 times greater than a limit set by the European Food Safety Authority（EFSA）, Most worryingly, these poisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and water system.

59、.【答案】12.D【解析】CDA本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了电子垃圾虽被掩埋在欠发达国家，但已成为危害全人类的公 敌，因此政府和制造商都应该努力减少电子垃圾污染。【12题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“They end up in places like Agbogbloshie on the outskirts of Ghanas capital, Accra. It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world （他们最后到了加纳首都 Accra 郊区的 Agbogbloshie这样的地方。它是世界上最大的电子垃圾场）”可推知，作为世界最大的电子垃 圾场，

60、Agbogbloshie地区的电子污染是一个热点问题。故选D项。13题详解】词句猜测题。根据The Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty aims to prevent developed nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries/ 巴塞尔公约是 1989 年的一项条约， 旨在防止发达国家未经授权向欠发达国家倾倒电子废物）以及The E-waste industry, however, circumvents the regulations by exporting
