【考点】考察社会生活类阅读

【文章大意】本文主要介绍了一个劝人戒烟的广告，使用儿童演员向成年人借火来告诉我们：Whyisitthat

weworryaboutotherpeople,forgettingtowonyaboutourselves?为什么抽烟的人担心别人，却不担心自己？

也就是说要为了自己的健康而戒烟。

68.【答案】C

【试题解析】推理题。根据文章倒数第二段Thevideoshowsthatafewofthesmokersquicklythrewawaytheir

cigarettesorputtheircigarettesaway,showingthatthisexperimentwasaffectiveatthatmoment可知很多人都

把香烟扔掉了，说明这个广告在那个时候是有效的。故C正确。

69.【答案】A

【试题解析】推理题。根据本句Thechildrenintheadareactorsbuttheadultssmokingareunsuspecting

participantsintheproject.通过上下文的对比可知unsuspectingparticipants与前面的actor是相反的意思:广

告里的孩子是演员，但是抽烟的成年人是不知情的参与者。可知这些成年人事先是不知道拍摄这个广告的。

故A正确。

70.【答案】B

【试题解析】细节题。根据第三段最后2行Thefirstadultstartsbysaying,"I'mnotgivingittoyou,"andthe

videogoesontostate"everyadultfilmedsaidnoandremindedthechildrenthatsmokingisbad.”可知所有的成

年人都拒绝了孩子借火的要求，并告诉孩子抽烟有害。故B项说法是正确的。

71.【答案】A

【试题解析】主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一个劝人戒烟的广告，使用儿童演员向成年人借火来告诉我们：

Whyisitthatweworryaboutotherpeople,forgettingtoworryaboutourselves?为什么抽烟的人担心别人，却不

担心自己？也就是说要为了自己的健康而戒烟。故A正确。

【长难句解析】

1.Whatifthisquestionwaslocomefromanunusualsource?

【翻译】如果这个问题来自一个不同寻常的来源的时候，又会是什么情况呢？

【分析】本句实际上是一个省略句，在whal后面省略了wouldhappen.形成Whatwouldhappenifthisquestion

wastocomefromanunusualsource?最后缩略成whatif…?要是…又如何?的结构。

2.Whyisitthatweworryaboutotherpeople,forgettingtoworryaboutourselves?

【翻译】为什么我们担心别人，而忘记担心我们自己？

【分析】本句是一个强调句型的特殊疑问句。结合近几年有关高考题的特点，将其变化形式归纳如下：强

调句型的一般疑问句形式。一.句式特征：Is/Wasit+被强调部分+that…；二、结合特殊疑问词构成特

殊疑问句形式。句式特征：特殊疑问词+is/wasilthat…？三、强调句型的反意疑问句形式。句式特征为：

Itis/was+被强调部分isn't/wasn'tit?四、强调句型的感叹句形式。句式特征为:what/how...itis

【考点】考察社会生活类短文

【文章大意】本文主要叙述了Google,Yahoo和Nike这三家公司的名字都是改变而来的，告诉我们这些

公司改名的原因，有的是因为拼写错误，有的是因为原来的名字不够吸引人，也有的是根据产品的名字来

改名的。

21.【答案】B

【试题解析】细节题。根据文章第二段最后3行WhentheycheckedtheInternetregistryofnamestoseeif

googolwasalreadytaken,oneofthestudentsmisspelledthewordbymistake,andthat'showGooglewasbom可

知当他们核对的时候发现googol己经被注册了。但是其中一个学生拼写错误了，漏掉了其中的一个。，所

以就成了Google。所以这个名字是由于一个拼写错误而出现的。故B正确。

22.【答案】C

【试题解析】细节题。根据文章第4段最后2行Buttheysoonrealizedthatthiswasn'taverycatchyname,so

theysearchedthroughadictionaryandfoundabetterone:"Yahoo.”中的thiswasn'taverycatchyname可知他

们认识到这个名字不能吸引人，所以就改名为Yahoo。所以C正确。

23.【答案】C

【试题解析】细节题。根据文章最后一段首尾句Sometimescompanieschangetheirnamesbecauseofthe

popularityofoneoftheirproducts.和HenamedtheshoesaftertheGreekgoddessofvictory—Nike.Nikeshoes

becamesowellknownthatKnightchangedthenameofthewholecompanytoNike可知文章最后——段是讲述部

分公司是根据产品的名字而改名的，接着列举了Nike公司的例子，公司我们这家公司正是根据•款鞋子

的名字Nike而改名的。故C正确。

24.【答案】A

【试题解析】主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了Google,Yahoo和Nike这三家公司的名字都是改变而来的，

告诉我们这些公司改名的原因，有的是因为拼写错误，有的是因为原来的名字不够吸引人，也有的是根据

产品的名字来改名的。A项能够包括本文的中心思想。

【长难句解析】

Buttheysoonrealizedthatthiswasn'taverycatchyname,sotheysearchedthroughadictionaryandfounda

betterone:"Yahoo.”

【翻译】但是他们很快就意识到这不是一个很有吸引力的名字，于是他们就通过字典搜索，找到了一个更

好的名字:Yahoo.

【分析】首先本句中含有一个ihat引导的宾语从句，thal是可以省略的。So引导的是一个状语从句，表示

上卜.文的因果关系。

【文章大意】本文叙述现在很多人把肥胖等同于丑陋，这是一种错误的观点。美丽不是由体重身高决定的，

而是由我们对待他们和尊敬他人决定的。

25.【答案】D

【试题解析】细节题。根据第二段1,2行Asourcountryistryingtoreducetheobesitynumbers,eatingdisorder

statisticscontinuetoincreaseduetothepushforthinnerpeople可知因为我们国家正在努力减少肥胖人的数

量，由于人们追求更瘦饮食错乱的数据一直都在增加。也就是说更多的人会患上饮食错乱病。故D正确。

26.【答案】B

【试题解析】推理题。根据前面一句Whileobesityisaseriousmedicalconditionthatcanleadtomanyhealth

problems,manyofustrytoloseweightforappearancepurposes.尽管肥胖是一个严重的医学问题，能够导致很

多健康问题，为了让自己更漂亮，很多人都努力减肥。本句是指甚至连小学生也开始担忧自己的体重问题。

所以下划线的句子及示的是B项含义。

27.【答案】A

【试题解析】推理题。在第二段最后一句Inmyopinion,itseemsthat"fat"hasbecomethenew"ugly"作者提

出了现在社会上把肥胖等同于丑陋。接着在第三段里列举了Livingston收到别人的邮件指责她太胖影响了

别人。这个例子正是说明有人把肥胖等同于丑陋。故A正确。

28.【答案】C

【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后2句Beautyisnotdefinedbysize;itisdefinedbyhowwetreatothersand

respectourselves.InthewordsofthetalentedfilmactressKirstieAlley,'There;salotmoretolifethanhowfat

orthinyouare."可知KirstieAlley认为：在生活里有更多比你有多胖或者多瘦的东西。相当于前面一句：美

丽不是由体重身高决定的，而是由我们对待他们和尊敬他人决定的。故C项说法是正确的。

【长难句解析】

1.IntheemailKrauseattackedher,writing,“Yourphysicalconditionhasn'timprovedformanyyears.

【翻译】在这封邮件里，Krause共计了她，写道：在过去的很多年里，你的体型都没有改善。

【分析】本句中含有一个分词做状语用法，因为动词write与句子主语Krause构成逻辑上的主动关系，所

以使用现在分词做状语。

2.Asourcountryistryingtoreducetheobesitynumbers,eatingdisorderstatisticscontinuetoincreaseduetothe

pushforthinnerpeople.

【翻译】因为我们国家正在努力减少肥胖人的数量，由于人们都追求成为更瘦的人，饮食错乱的数据就会

不断增加了。

【分析】本句是一个主从复合句。主句的主语是ealingdisorderstaiistics,这是一个动名词短语在句中做主

语，表示经常性习惯性的事情力

WhenIwasachild,shetookmetomuseums,restaurants,dances.Sheshoweredmewithgiftsfromhertravels

【长难句解析】

1.Standingonabookshelfinourlivingroom,thebookwaslikesomethingIavoided.

【翻译】站在起居室的书架前面，这本书就像是我要避开的东西。

［分析】本句是一个省略句，在standing前面省略fWhenIwas...；同时本句中还有一个定语从句something

Iavoided,其中的something是先行词，在后面省略「that,因为昨晚动词avoid的宾语，所以可以省略。

2.TheHansBrinkerexperienceledmetosetarulethatI'velivedbyeversince:Donotaskaboutabookgivenas

【翻译】这本书的经历让我哥自己设立了有生以来•个规则：不要询问关于作礼物送出去的书的问题。

用来解释前面的名词arule的内容，（hat在这个同位语从句中不充当任何成分，只是一个引导词而已，但

是不能省略。
