答案和解析1~3.【答案】A、C、C【解析】（1）A.细节理解题。根据Mulan中"Itcouldhavetolditsclassicstorywithgreaterdepth，butthelive-actionMulanisavisualimprovement.（《花木兰》本可以更有深度地讲述它的经典故事，但真人版的《花木兰》在视觉效果上做了改进。）"可知，评论家认为，《花木兰》本应该呈现一个更好的故事。故选A.

（2）C.推理判断题。根据Greenland中第一句"Afamilyfightsforsurvivalasaplanet-killingcomet（彗星）racestoEarth.（一个家庭为生存而战，因为一颗毁灭行星的彗星正飞向地球。）可知，Greenland这部影片讲述了人类抗击毁灭行星的彗星的故事。由此可推知，Greenland是一部科幻片。故选C.

（3）C.文章出处题。根据第一段"Alotofpeoplelikemoviesandfilms.Theycanaddthrillandimaginationstoourlives.Findthelatestmoviereviewshere.（很多人喜欢看电影。它们可以为我们的生活增添刺激和想象力。在这里找到最新的电影评论。）可知，本文介绍了几部电影的评论。由此可知，我们可能在报纸的娱乐版读到这篇文章。A.Advertisement广告；B.Science科学；C.Entertainment娱乐；D.News

Report新闻报道。故选C.

这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几部电影概要和影评。

1．直接信息题：

直接信息题是指能够直接从原文中找到信息，选项在语言表达上与原文基本一致的题目。

2．间接信息题：

间接信息题是能够从原文中找到信息，但在语言表达上与原文有差异，做题时需要对原文信息进行转换。

3．综合信息题：

综合信息题是指这类题目所涉及的信息不是原文的某一句话，可能是原文的几句话，或者是散落在文章不同的地方，要求学生把原文所提供的信息综合起来分析，而不能断章取义。

4~7.【答案】A、C、D、B【解析】（1）词句猜测题。根据第一段Simonwasstruckbyhowmuchfoodwasthrownawayinthecollegecafeteria.Iwasshockedtoseesomeonebuyafullsandwich，eathalfofit，andthrowtheotherhalfout.（Simon被大学食堂扔掉的食物感到惊讶。当我看到有人买了一个完整的三明治，吃了一半，把另一半扔掉时，我很震惊。）可知，Simon是反对浪费食物的。应选择wasted修饰food表示"浪费的食物"，在他看来浪费的食物是"宝物"，他可以利用它们做些善事。A.Wasted被浪费的；B.Rejected被拒绝的；C.Disliked

不喜欢的；D.Eaten

被吃掉的。故选A。

（2）细节理解题。根据第三段"Up

to

20%

of

the

fruits

and

vegetables

grown

on

farms

in

America

are

thrown

away

because

the

produce

doesn't

meet

grocery

stores"

standards，"

said

Simon.

"It's

often

for

discoloration，scarring

on

the

surface

caused

by

the

fruit

rubbing

against

a

tree

limb

or

an

atypical

shape，"

he

said.

（

西蒙说："在美国农场种植的水果和蔬菜中，多达20%被丢弃，因为这些产品不符合杂货店的"标准"。他说："这通常是因为水果摩擦树枝或非典型形状而导致变色、表面结疤。"）可知，很多水果和蔬菜由于外表不够美观而被浪费。故选C。

（3）细节理解题。根据第四段ThereasonwhywecreatedImperfectProduceasadirect-to-consumerbusinessisbecausegrocerystoresdidn'twanttopartnerwithus.（我们之所以创造出ImperfectProduce直接面向消费者服务，是因为杂货店不想与我们合作。）可知，Simon直接面向消费者进行销售是因为杂货店的商家们都不愿与Simon的团队合作。故选D。

（4）推理判断题。通读全文可知，文中没有提到任何关于穷人的内容，A不正确；根据倒数第二段最后一句Thebusinessisnotyetprofitable，buthehopestoexpandtheserviceto40citiesbytheendof2019（该业务尚未盈利，但他希望在2019年底前将服务扩展到40个城市）故C和D不正确。根据第一段的分析，Simon看到很多人浪费食物，使他后来通过创建ImperfectProduce对有可能被浪费掉的水果和蔬菜进行售卖。由此可推知，他对于被浪费的食物思考了很多。故选B。

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Simon创建ImperfectProduce的过程及意义。

阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。

8~11.【答案】D、D、C、C【解析】1．D．细节题．根据文章第二段，AccordingtoastudypublishedinthejournalFrontiersinBehavioralNeuroscience，it'satypicalexperienceof"cuteaggression"．Theexperienceresultsfromthefightbetweenthebrain's"emotionsystem"，whichimpels（驱使）peopletosqueezecutethings，andits"rewardsystem"whichdealswithfeelingsof"wanting"．根据《行为神经科学前沿》杂志上发表的一项研究，这是一种典型的"可爱的攻击性"体验．这种体验来自大脑的"情感系统"，它驱动人们挤压可爱的东西，以及它的"奖赏系统"，它处理"想要"的感觉．可知，cuteaggression指看见可爱的婴儿或小动物时捏一捏的行为．故正确答案为D．

2．D．细节题．根据文章第二段第二句Theexperienceresultsfromthefightbetweenthebrain's"emotionsystem"…andits"rewardsystem"whichdealswithfeelingsof"wanting"．可知，cuteaggression是由于情感系统和奖励系统之间的斗争和冲突．结合选项，故选D．

3．C．推断题．根据文章第五段第一句Thissuggeststhatcutethingsactivatetheiremotionsystemsinsuchawaythatpeopleareoverwhelmedbytheexperienceofcuteness．可知，文章没有提供具体的百分比，而是直接得出了结论，说明可爱的婴儿和动物影响所有参与者的大脑活动．故C项正确．

4．C．主旨题．文章主要通过《行为神经科学前沿》杂志上的一项研究，提出了"可爱攻击性"体验，之后讲述了研究的具体内容和研究结果，告诉人们看起来完全无助的可爱的婴儿和可爱的动物，他们的脆弱外表可能帮助他们生存．C项意为"展示关于可爱攻击性的研究结果"，符合文章中心，故正确答案为C．

文章主要通过《行为神经科学前沿》杂志上的一项研究，提出了"可爱攻击性"体验，之后讲述了研究的具体内容和研究结果，告诉人们看起来完全无助的可爱的婴儿和可爱的动物，他们的脆弱外表可能帮助他们生存．

做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．

12~15.【答案】A、B、C、C【解析】（1）段落大意题。根据第二段Running

is

a

metaphor

（隐喻）

for

life.I

realized

this

while

training

for

a

marathon

to

celebrate

my

60th

birthday.All

the

other

runners

being

faster

than

me

made

me

embarrassed.But

my

coach

shared

some

valuable

advice；run

at

your

own

best

pace.Setting

a

goal

or

target

time

could

be

a

limitation.He

was

right.Over

time，I

ran

more

easily

and

faster.I

also

enjoyed

the

experience

much

more.（跑步是人生的一种隐喻。我是在为庆祝我60岁生日的马拉松训练时意识到这一点的。所有其他跑者都比我快，这让我很尴尬。但我的教练分享了一些有价值的建议；以你自己最好的速度跑。设定目标或目标时间可能是一种限制。他是对的。随着时间的推移，我跑得更轻松、更快了。我也更喜欢这段经历）可知，作者在第2段想说生命原理的起源。故选A。

（2）观点态度题。根据第四段Running

carries

its

own

set

of

expectations，including

what

it

means

to

be

a

strong

runner.But

expectations

also

extend

to

other

areas

of

life，including

what

people

at

certain

life

stages

should

be

doing

or

not

doing.Expectations

at

my

age

can

center

on

how

leisure

time

is

spent，decisions

about

employment，and

even

the

role

of

a

grandmother.（跑步有它自己的一套期望，包括成为一名强壮的跑步者意味着什么。但期望也延伸到生活的其他领域，包括人们在某些生命阶段应该做什么或不应该做什么。在我这个年纪，人们的期望可能集中在如何度过闲暇时间、决定就业，甚至是扮演祖母的角色）可知，作者认为生活期望在不同的人生阶段有所不同。故选B。

（3）推理判断题。根据第五段I

used

to

think

it

was

young

people

who

bore

peer

pressure，but

it's

easy

to

view

retirement

as

another

occupation

with

benchmarks

（基准）

to

be

met.（我过去认为是年轻人承受着同辈压力，但很容易把退休看作是另一种需要达到标准的职业）可推知，退休人员也面临同辈压力。故选C。

（4）推理判断题。根据最后一段Forget

what

others

are

doing.Their

pace

is

not

necessarily

the

pace

you

should

run

at.Run

in

your

own

way.It's

not

better

or

worse

—

only

different.（忘记别人在做什么。他们的速度不一定是你应该跑的速度。用你自己的方式奔跑。没有好坏之分，只是不同而已）可推知，作者主要想传达的信息是人们应该按照自己的节奏生活。A．Retirement

can't

stop

old

people's

dreams.退休不能阻挡老人的梦想；B．People

should

live

life

to

the

fullest.人们应该尽情地生活；C．People

should

live

at

their

own

speed.人应该按照自己的速度生活；D．Running

at

a

fixed

pace

is

beneficial

to

retired

people.以固定的速度跑步对退休的人有益。故选C。

这是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了作者认为每个人的人生应该有自己的节奏，而不是按照别人的期望生活。

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。
