B.deliveryC. D.medical答案解析：词义猜测题。根据第一段第二行carrystemcells可知，作者是运送细胞的人，所以选择B项，deliveryman。WhydoesPeterhavetocompletehistripwithin42HecannotstayawayfromhisjobtooThedonorcanonlywaitforthatTheoperationneedsthatmuchTheicewon’tlastany答案解析：细节题。从第一段第三行“becauseI’vegottwoicepacksandthat’showlongtheylast可以知道选择D项thewon’tlastanyWhichfightdidthewomanputPeter 答案解析：细节题。由原文第三段倒数第二行“re-routedmethroughNewark”可知，答案选B。DThemeaningofsilencecarriesamongculturegroups.Silencemaybethoughtful,ortheymaybeemptywhena hasnothingtosay.Asilenceinaconversationmayalsoshowstubbornness,uneasiness,or,worry.Silencemaybeviewedbysomeculturalgroupsasextremelyfortable;thereforeattemptsmaybemadetofilleverygap(间隙)with sinotherculturalgroupsvaluesilenceviewitasnecessaryforunderstanding ’sManyNativeAmericansvaluesilenceandfeelitisabasicpartofcommunicatingamongpeople,justassometraditionalChineseandThaisdo.Therefore,whena fromoneoftheseculturesisspeakingandsuddenlystops,whatmaybeimplied(暗示)isthatthewantsthelistenertoconsiderwhathasbeensaidbeforecontinuing.Inthesecultures,silenceisacallforOtherculturesmayusesilenceinotherways,particularlydealingwith samongpeopleorinrelationshipsofpeoplewithdifferentamountsofpower.Forexample,Russian,French,andSpanishsmayusesilencetoshowagreementbetweenpartiesaboutthetopicunderdiscussion.However,Mexicansmayusesilencewheninstructionsaregivenbya inauthorityratherthanberudeto byarguingwithhimorher.Instillanotheruse, sinAsianculturesmayviewsilenceasasignofrespect,particularlytoanelderora inauthority, sinAsianculturemayviewsilenceasasignofrespect,particularlytoanelderora inauthority.Nursesandothercare-giversneedtobeawareofthepossiblemeaningsofsilencewhentheycomeacrossthe alanxietytheir theirownalandculturalconstructionofsilencesothatapatient’ssilenceisnotinterruptedtooearlyorallowedtogoonunnecessarily.Anursewhounderstandsthehealing(治愈valueofsilencecanusethisunderstandingtoassistinthecareofpatientsfromtheirownandfromothercultures.WhatdoestheauthorsayaboutsilenceinItimpliesItpromotesItisculture-Itiscontent-答案解析：推测题。原文定位以得知A项不全面，沉默不只代表一个意思；同理，可排除B选项；此段反复强调“Silencemaybeviewedbysomeculturalgroups…“sinotherculturalgroupsvalue…”可得知，沉默在不同文化中的意义是不同的，而不是根据内容变化的，由此可以排出D，得出正确答案C。Whichofthefollowingpeoplemightconsidersilenceasacallforcarefulthought?The B.TheC.The D.The答案对方仔细考虑？”定位第二“Therefore… wantsthelistenertoconsiderwhathasbeensaidbeforecontinuing.”中文意思为，和文化中，silence代表说话人想在继续会话之前让者考虑他的话。所以可以得出答案A。WhatdoestheauthoradvisenursestodoaboutLetitcontinueasthepatientBreakitwhiletreatingEvaluateitsharmtoMakeuseofitshealing答案解析：细节题。对应文章最后一段。答案可以在段落句中可分析出来—第一句和最后一句。尤其是最后一句“Anursewhounderstandsthehealing(治愈)valueofsilencecanusethisunderstandingtoassistinthecareofpatients…”作者认为，了解沉默的治愈价值有助于更好地照顾。所以，是建议护士利用沉默的治愈价值的。而A，B选项出现在第2句sothat后面的部分。用了否定词not，是作者所不建议的。C选项在文中并未提及。WhatmaybethebesttitlefortheSoundandWhatitmeanstobeSilencetoNativeSpeechIsSilver;SilenceIs答案解析：主旨题。文章为总分的结构，可从第一段入手。定位文章第一句“Themeaningofsilencecariesamongculturegroups.”即可得知全篇都在讲沉默代表的意义，不同的文化意义不同。文中并没提到声音与沉默的关系，所以不选A；文章讲了不同国家沉默代表的意义，不局限于NativeAmericans，排除C；而DB。【2015·新课标卷IAMonthlyTalksatLondonCOurmonthlytalksstartat19：30ontheThursdayofeachmonthexceptAugust.Admissionisatnormalchargesandyoudon'tneedtobook.Theyendaround21：00.TheCPioneers,byChrisLewis.JamesBrindleyisrecognizedasoneoftheleadingearlycengineers.Hewasalsoamajorplayerintrainingothersintheartofcplanningandbuilding.ChrisLewiswillexplainhowBrindleymadesuchapositivecontributiontotheeducationofthatgroupofearly“civilengineers”．IcefortheMetropolis,byMalcolmTucker.Wellbeforethearrivaloffreezers,therewasademandforiceforfoodpreservationandcatering.Malcolmwillexplainthehistoryofimportingnaturaliceandthetechnologyofbuildingicewells,andhowLondon'sicetradegrew.AnUpdateontheCotsword s,byLizPayne.The ismovingtowardsreopening.TheThamesandSevernC takealittlelonger.Wewillhaveareportonthepresentstateofplay.EyotsandAits-ThamesIslands,byMirandaVickers.TheThameshadmanyislands.Mirandahasundertakenareviewofallofthem.Shewilllusaboutthoseofgreatestinterest.Online Moreinfo： LondonCMuseum12­13NewWharfRoad,LondonNI ：020【试题分析】文章主要介绍了在伦敦运河博物馆每个月的讲座安WhenisthetalkonJamesBrindley?A．February6th.
