参考答案一、阅读理解A语篇解读本文讲述了由于语言的差异而导致误解的故事。1.C解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中Beforetheyleft,theyaskedmeforadviceabouthowtofindaccommodation(住所).可知，作者的西班牙朋友想要关于如何在英格兰找住处的建议，故选C项。2.C解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中...becausethiskindofaccommodationgivesaforeignvisitoragoodchancetospeakEnglishwiththefamily.可知，作者建议他的西班牙朋友住“住宿加早餐”的房子是因为这是个很好的锻炼他们的英语的机会，故选C项。3.B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中Sotheydidnotgotothehousewherethesignoutsidesaid“VACANCIES”,whichinEnglishmeanstherearefreerooms.可知，在英语中“VACANCIES”意思是“有空的房间”，因此“NOVACANCIES”在英语中意思是“没有空的房间”，故选B项。4.D解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中OnceinParis,whensomeoneofferedmesomemorecoffee,Isaid“Thankyou”inFrench.ImeantthatIwouldlikesomemore.可知，作者想再要些咖啡，故选D项。长难句分析原句：Thenmyfriendswenttothehousewherethesignsaid“NOVACANCIES”,becausetheythoughtthismeantthepeoplewhoownedthehousewerenotawayonholiday.分析：本句为主从复合句。其中定语从句wherethesignsaid“NOVACANCIES”修饰先行词house;because引导原因状语从句，从句中thismeantthepeoplewhoownedthehousewerenotawayonholiday为宾语从句，作动词thought的宾语，定语从句whoownedthehouse修饰先行词people。句意：然后，我的朋友们去了牌子上写着“NOVACANCIES”的房子，因为他们认为这意味着房子的主人没有外出度假。【高频词汇】1.signn.标牌，指示牌2.asaresult因此，结果3.toone’ssurprise令某人吃惊的是4.takeaway拿走B【解题导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了EdibleSchoolyardprogram的具体内容，即让学生吃健康的食物，创建绿色校园。【核心词汇】processedadj.（食品）经加工的，加工过的participatev.参加，参与principlen.原则；行为准则tendv.往往会；趋向；照料，护理generationn.代；一代人【长难句解读】Sheadvised:schoolstoconnectwiththefarmersintheirareaandchangetheirbuyingpracticeswhenthey'replanningmealsforstudents.分析：本句中包含了when引导的时间状语从句。advisesb.todosth.意为“建议某人做某事”。译文：她建议学校在为学生规划三餐的时候，与它们所在地区的农民沟通并改变它们的购买习惯。5.B命题意图：考查细节理解。解析：根据第二段中的“TheprogramthatWaterscreatedhelpspublicschoolsacrossthecountrystarton-sitegardensandplacep
