SectionVIII综合篇答案与解析

Passage71

【答案与解析】约翰病了，咳嗽得很厉害。医生给他开了些药。咳嗽药上说明书的内容主要包括

了药品的服用方法、药量、贮存条件以及保质期等。

1.B«根据"Johnistwelveyearsold."和"8—131teaspoonful"可知B为正确答案。

2.A,"Putitinacoldplace."是本题答案的依据。

3.A。答案就在"Shake（摇动）itwellbeforeuse."中。

4.C,：由"Notrightforchildrenbelowtheageofthree"这句话可■知，此药不适用于三岁以卜.的儿童。

5.A。本说明的最后一句说的是此药品的保质期。答案显然为A。

Passage73

【答案与解析】这篇短文反映了学生书包过重这一引发人们思考的生活现实。书包过重引起了学

生身体的不适。文中引用了几位学生对沉重书包的感想和体会，有的学生甚至还在书包上安装了轮子。

专家认为书包重量不应超过学生体重的10%-15%«学生则认为减少作、业量才能彻底解决这一问题。为

了减小过重书包对学生身体造成的伤害，短文最后还附了医生的四点建议。

1.D.根据首段末句及所附医生的建议可知选项D乃是文章主旨。

2.A.短文前两句是本题答案之所在。

3.A。根据该词组所在句子及I:下文意思，”许多学生使用带有轮子，可在地上滚动的书包”可以推

测选项A的解释合乎文意。

4.C。专家建议学生书包重量应在他本人体重的10%和15%之间。所以一个体重为40千克的学

生所背书包的重量应是6千克。

5.C。显然，专家所提四项建议的目的是让学生的书包轻一些。

Passage74

【答案与解析】这是一篇有关东西方文化差异的阅读材料。英美人喜欢邀清朋友或同事到自己的

家里吃饭。但是按照西方人的习惯，我们怎么样做才能更为礼貌些呢？本文给了最明确的回答。

1.D.第一段的最后那句有明显的说明。

2.D."It'spolitetobringflowers,chocolatesorabottleofwineasapresent.”一句是该题的出处。

3A正确理解"remember—nottoaskhowmuchthingscost."这句话才能得出答案。

4.C.仔细阅读短文第四自然段，就不难找到答案。

5.C.A,B、D三个选项在文中都有明确的说明。而根据"Beforetheytakeouttheircigarettesafter

themeal,mostpeopleusuallyask…"可以看出，抽烟前应当用"DoyoumindifIsmokehere?"这句话

征求一下对方的意见。由此可将C项排除。

Passage75

【答案与解析】这是一篇涉及地理方面的知识性小品文。地球上共划分了二十四个时区，两个相

邻的时区之间时间正好相差一个小时。因此，我们环球旅行时，就会遇到时差问题。国际日期变更线

是新的一天开始的地方。穿越这条线向东去，今天就变成了昨天，向西去，今天就成了明天。

1.C。由句首的那一句话可知，导致这种奇怪现象的原因就是因为时区的划分。

2.A.根据首句，再联系地理方面的知识，可知时区与时区之间的时间差为一个小时。

3.A。根据第二段的介绍，自西向东横渡大西洋时，因每增加一个时区，就早一个小时。即“…traveling

east,yousetitahead.",所以答案为A。

4.C。段首一句说得非常清楚，“横渡大西洋做五天的旅行”，段落末尾又说“每一天你的旅行不是二

十四小时，就是二十五小时由此可以判断大西洋跨五个时区。

5.Co"...thisisthepointwhereanewdaybegins."是答案的出处。

Passage76

【答案与解析】这是关于比萨斜塔的一篇杂感。作者由儿时对比萨斜塔的曲解谈起，说到了自己

对人们想要重新修正斜塔的看法。最后作者由此阐发感想：没有什么东西是十全十美的。人们不应当

事事追求完美。如比萨斜塔一样，正因为它的不完美，才吸引了世界上众多人的目光。

1.C。由作者所叙述的内容，可知该塔之所以被叫做斜塔是因为它是倾斜的。

2.D。这层意思是作者对比萨斜塔的误解，答案在"ButwhenIreadthewordPisa,Iwasthinkingof

pizza”一句中。

3.C。本题属表层理解题。"Thetowerprobablywillnotfalldown,itis600yearsold."是答案的出

处。

4.B。答案即在"And,ifyouaskme,Ilikewhatitlookslike."中。

5.D。根据"Imperfectthingsmaybemoreinteresting.”及作者所流露出的对比萨斜塔的感情可以

看出他认为缺憾也是一种美。

Passage77

【答案与解析】一位年已九旬的老人在花园里栽种一棵无花果树。一个年轻人看到后感到迷惑不

解•于是引发了两人的一番对话。本篇短文通过这件寓意刻的小事，说明了“前人栽树，后人乘凉”的道

理。

1.Hewasplantingafigtree.本小题属于表层理解题，答案就在这位老人的回答中。

2.Hewasninetyyearsold.与上题相似，其答案也在答语“Iamninetyyearsold.”

中。

3.No,hewasn't.Hewasplantingthetreeforthepeopleafterhimtoenjoy.从

“Youareplantingaveryyoungtreenowandiflltakeyearstogivefruit.Youcertainly

don'thopetolivelongenoughtogetanyfruitfromthistree.”中可看出答
