（3）细节理解题。根据BlockIsland，RhodeIsland标题下17milesofbeaches（17英里长的海滩）及HamptonBeach，NewHampshire标题下18-milecoast（18英里长的海岸）及OceanCity，Maryland标题下10milesofbeaches（10英里长的海滩）及CanaveralNationalSeashore，Florida标题下24milesofbeachhabitat（24英里的海滩栖息地）可知，卡纳维拉尔国家海岸是最长的。故选D项。

这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了美国东海岸的几个最佳景点。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

我们在做完形填空时，首先需要快速的浏览全文，把握文章的主旨大意；其次要学会带着问题到文中相应的地方，通过细节阅读来寻找或概括答案；最后理清作者的写作思路也非常重要；做此类题时，要多注意一些形容词或动词的搭配，在平时多积累一些固定搭配。

4~7.【答案】C、D、A、C【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据首段第一二句In

Tennessee，you

will

find

9

Nanas."

Its

mission

is

simple

—

to

spread

happiness

by

performing

random

acts

of

kindness

for

those

in

（在田纳西州，你会发现一个"秘密社团"，由9名自称为"九位奶奶"的女性组成。它的使命很简单通过为有需要的人做一些随机的善举来传播快乐。）可知，秘密社团的任务是传播快乐。故选C。

（2）细节理解题。根据第二段最后三句They

fondly

recalled

how

MaMaw

Ruth

used

to

bake

and

send

pound

cakes

to

families

who

had

recently

lost

someone.The

"sisters"

wanted

to

do

for

their

community

too.So，the

"secret

society"

of

"The

9

Nanas"

was

born.

（她们深情地回忆起露丝妈妈过去是如何为那些刚刚失去亲人的家庭烘烤并寄送一磅蛋糕的。"姐妹们"也想为她们的社区做点好事。于是，"九位奶奶"的"秘密社团"诞生了。）可知，她们对露丝妈妈的回忆激发她们为社区做点好事，于是成立了秘密社团。故选D。

（3）词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段第二三四句But

to

get

suspicious.So

the

9

Nanas

gathered

the

husbands

and

spilled

the

beans.Their

husbands

wanted

in

on

the

fun.

（但到那时，丈夫们已经开始怀疑了。于是，奶奶们把丈夫们聚集在一起，她们的丈夫也想加入其中。）可知，她们的丈夫们最初怀疑，但在被聚集一起后就想加入她们，说明奶奶们把秘密社团的事情告诉了他们。故划线短语spilled

the

beans应为"讲出事实"。A．Told

the

truth.讲出事实；B．Shared

snacks.共享零食；C．Asked

for

help.请求帮助；D．Made

promises.许下承诺。故选A。

（这些问题将在周三开幕的为期三天的联合国水资源会议上讨论。有171个国家，包括100多位部长，以及20多个组织在发言名单上。）可知，缺水问题已经引起了全世界广泛的关注。故选C。

本文是一篇说明文。首先介绍了全球缺水的现象，然后分析了导致缺水的三个问题，最后这一问题终于引起了全世界的广泛关注。

一、速读全文，了解大意知主题。

阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面。阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力，考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读，搜寻关键词、主题句，捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点，并且理清文章脉络，把握语篇实质。

二、看题干，带着问题读文章。

首先要掌握问题的类型，客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案；而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等，这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等。其次，了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息，然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读，对有关信息进行快速定位。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率。

三、逻辑推理，做好深层理解题。

在实际阅读中，有时作者并未把意图说出来，阅读者要根据字面意思，通过语篇逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓义。要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理，不能就事论事，以偏概全。推理题在提问中常用的词有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜词悟义，扫除阅读拦路虎。

猜词是应用英语的重要能力。它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文，而且要有较大的泛读量，掌握或认识较多的课外词汇。我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜"，通过构词，语法，定义，同位，对比，因果，常识，上下文等线索确定词义。

我们在做完形填空时，首先需要快速的浏览全文，把握文章的主旨大意；其次要学会带着问题到文中相应的地方，通过细节阅读来寻找或概括答案；最后理清作者的写作思路也非常重要；做此类题时，要多注意一些形容词或动词的搭配，在平时多积累一些固定搭配。

12~15.【答案】C、A、D、B【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段中Brainimplants（植入物）cantranslateinternalspeechintoexternalsignals，permittingcommunicationfrompeoplewithdiseasesthatstealtheirabilitytotalkortype.（大脑植入物可以将内部语言转换为外部信号，使患有疾病的人能够与他人交流，这些疾病窃取了他们说话或打字的能力。）可知，大脑植入物的功能是为了协助沟通。故选C。

（2）段落大意题。根据第三段Neural（神经系统的）signalsassociatedwithwordsaredetectedbyelectrodes（电极）implantedinthebrain.Thesignalscanthenbetranslatedintotext，whichcanbemadeaudible（听得见的）bycomputerprogramsthatgeneratespeech.Electrodespickedupnervecellsignalsintheposteriorparietalcortex，abrainareainvolvedinspeechandhandmovements.Abrainimplanttheremighteventuallybeusedtocontroldevicesthatcanperformtasksusuallydonebyahandtoo，（与单词相关的神经信号通过植入大脑的电极来检测。然后，这些信号可以被翻译成文本，这些文本可以通过生成语音的计算机程序发出声音。电极接收到后顶叶皮层的神经细胞信号，这是大脑中与语言和手部运动有关的区域。那里的大脑植入物可能最终会被用来控制那些可以执行通常由手完成的任务的设备，）可知，第3段主要告诉我们关于这个系统的"工作原理"。故选A。

（3）推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Tobeuseful，thecurrenttechniqueswillneedtogetfasterandmoreaccurate."Thesearestillearlydaysforthetechnologies，"Wandeltsays."Progresswillbepossibleonlywiththehelpofpeoplewhovolunteerforthestudies.Thefieldwillcontinuetobenefitfromtheincrediblepeoplewhoparticipateinclinicaltrials.""（为了发挥作用，目前的技术需要变得更快、更准确。Wandelt说："这些技术还处于早期阶段。"。"只有在自愿参与研究的人的帮助下，才能取得进展。该领域将继续受益于参与临床试验的令人难以置信的人。）可知，最后一段讲述的是"它目前没有多少实际用途。"故选D。

（4）目的意图题。根据第二段中Ourdevicepredictsinternalspeechdirectly，allowingthepatienttojustfocusonsayingawordinsidetheirheadandtransformitintotext，（我们的设备直接预测内部语音，让病人只专注于在他们的脑海里说一个词，然后把它转换成文本，）可知，文章介绍一种新的设备。科学家已经发明了直接从大脑中"读"单词的方法。大脑植入物可以将内部语言转换为外部信号，使患有疾病的人能够与他人交流，这些疾病窃取了他们说话或打字的能力。研究的新结果提供了额外的证据，证明大脑植入物在恢复失去的沟通方面具有非凡的潜力。所以文章的目的是"介绍一种设备。"A．To

describe

a

trial.描述一场审判；B．To

introduce

a

device.介绍一种设备；C．To

advertise

a

product.为产品做广告；D．To

explain

a

concept.解释一个概念。故选B。
