［答案】36.D37.F38.G39.A40.C

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一些关于儿童护理宠物的注意事项。

36.D后一句"Ilteachesresponsibility,reducetheriskofallergiesandencourageexerciseaccordingtotherecent

research.”（根据最近的研究，它教授责任心，减少过敏的风险，并鼓励锻炼。）讲述了宠物护理对儿童带来

一些益处。所以空处应说明宠物护理对孩子是有好处的。选项D.“而且宠物护理也有利于儿童的发展和健

康。”符合题意，切题，故选D。

37.F上一句"Makesomebasicgroundrulesbeforebringinghomeanewpet."（在带一只新宠物回家之前，制

定一些基本的规则。）讲述了带宠物回家前要制定一些规则。下一句"Besides,askyourchildrentoanswersome

basicquestionsaboutwhatwillbeinvolvedinlookingafterthepet.”（此外，让你的孩子回答一些关于照顾宠物

的基本问题。）讲述了制定规则之外，要问孩子一些关于照顾宠物的基本问题。因而空处应承接上文，讲述

制定规则的同时还要做一些什么了解宠物。选项F.“与此同时，阅读一些适合你年龄的书籍，了解你将要得

到的宠物的类型。”是宠物到家之前的注意事项。切题，故选F。

38.G根据上文“Neverleaveayoungchildunsupervisedwithanypet,evenwhenit'syourownwell-lovedand

trusteddog.”（永远不要让一个小孩子在没有人监管的情况下和任何宠物呆在一起，即使是你自己深爱和信

任的狗。）可知孩子必须在大人监管下才能跟宠物接触。所以空处承接前文，讲述在没有大人监管下，孩子

和宠物接触可能会发生的意外。选项G“狗咬伤儿童大多是由于自己的狗或朋友或邻居的狗。”切题，故选G。

39.A从下文“Childrenshouldnotbeallowedtopickuptheirpetunlessundersupervision.Whenpattingorplaying

withpets,besurechildrenarealwayssittingonthefloor,notwanderingaroundholdingthepet.Lettinggoofapet

ratherthanforcingthemtodosomethingreluctantlyisamust.”（除非有人监督，否则不应允许儿童抱起他们的

宠物。当拍打或与宠物玩耍时，确保孩子们总是坐在地板上，而不是抱着宠物四处游荡。放开宠物而不是

强迫它们做一些不情愿的事情是必须的。）可知孩子不能把宠物当玩具。空处应总结段落，讲述不要让孩子

把宠物当玩具玩。选项A.“警告孩子宠物不是玩具。”切题，故选A。

40.C结合上文“YoungerchildrencanhelpEllthewaterbowl.”（小一点的孩子可以帮忙装水。）可知空处应承

接前文，讲述对于大一点的孩子而言，可以帮忙做什么。选项C.“而年长的可以照顾喂养或更换垃圾托盘。”

切题，故选C。

【答案】16.G17.A18.F19.D20.E

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究者认为适量饮酒对妇女保持体重有好处，但与此同时饮酒也会

带来患其他疾病的风险。

16.下文“Newfindingsfromresearchersrevealthatwomenwhodrinkmoderately（适量）arelesslikelytogain

weightthanthosewhodon't.”（来自于研究者新的发现揭示了适量饮酒的妇女比不喝酒的女性有更少增加体重

的可能性）说明此处和上文提到的减肥需要戒酒发生了转折，是对G项“但是更少的体重增长和酒精的吸收

量之间存在联系”内容的解释说明。故选G。

17.下文“Theresearchersalsoconsideredsomepotentialfactors,suchasage,smoking,physicalactivityandother

种可能性也要考虑到其中”的内容的举例说明。故选Ao

18.上文“Theresearchersaskedthewomenabouttheiralcoholintakeandmeasuredeachvolunteer'sweight”（研

究者询问了妇女酒精的摄取量和每个志愿者的体重）和“Theresearchersalsoconsideredsomepotentialfactors,

suchasage,smoking,physicalactivityandotherlifestyle.（研究者同时也考虑了一些潜在的因素，比如年龄，是

否吸烟，体育锻炼和其它的生活方式）讲述了实验考虑的因素，从而得出实验结论，而F项“那些每日适量饮

酒的人体重正常”正是对实验结果的阐述。故选F。

19.下文“First,itappearedthatthewomenwhodrankthemostgotfeweroftheirtotalcaloriesfromothersources

drivewomentoloseweightastheydrinkmore.”（首先饮酒量最多的女性从其他来源获取的总热量似乎比其他

女性要少。其次，有证据表明，酒精可能会引起食欲的生理变化，从而使女性在饮酒时体重下降）说明饮酒

量多的女性越容易瘦下来，是对D项“妇女喝越多酒酒会越瘦”这一观点的解释说明。故选D。

20.下文“Previousstudieshaveshownthatdrinkingalcoholcanleadtoagreaterriskofdevelopingbreast

cancer."（之前的研究显示喝酒可以导致更多患乳腺癌的风险）和上文喝酒可以保持体重之间发生了转折关

系，是对E项“我们不建议人们喝更多酒去控制体重”内容的举例说明。故选E。

【答案】16.A17.D18.G19.B20.E

【导语】文章是一篇说明文，介绍了人类的幸福感与他们所居住的地方的景色之间存在联系。

16.theproverbgoes,beautyisintheeyeofthebeholder7,（俗话说，情人眼里出西施。）说明美感受

观察者的主观感受影响。A项“But”表示与上文转折，讲的是环境也很重要，从而引出下文关于幸福感与环

境之间的联系的论文研究：“ApaperpublishedtwoyearsagoinNaturefoundaconnectionbetweenpeople's

senseofwell-beingandthescenicness（美景）ofwheretheylived."（两年前发表于《自然》的一篇论文发现，

人们的幸福感与他们所居住的地方的景色之间存在联系。）A项符合文意。故选A项。

17.上文“Theconnection,thepaper'sauthorsfound,heldtmewhetheraneighborhoodwasurbanorrural.（论文

发现，无论是在城市还是在农村，这种联系都是存在的。）说明无论地点在哪儿，幸福感和环境有关的联系

都是存在的；下文“Nordidlevelsofairpollutionhaveanyinfluenceonit.”（空气污染水平也不对其产生影响）

说明与空气污染水平无关。所以设空处也是讲的是影响人们幸福感的因素，而且由下文“Nor”可知设空处也

是否定句。D项“Itborenorelationtovolunteers9socialandeconomicstatus.”（人们的幸福感和参与调查的志

愿者的社会和经济地位无关。）符合文意。故选D项。

18.T5C4tTheteambehindthatNaturepaperhaveneverthelessdecidedtohaveago.v（,该论文的团队

还是决定做一番尝试。）的“nevertheless”说明它与设空处之间是转折关系，也就是说，该团队所尝试的内容

是有难度的。再根据后面“Theprogram'staskwastoworkout,byanalyzingeachphotograph'sfeaturesinthe

contextofitsScenic-or-Notratings,whatitisthatmakesalandscapescenic.”（该项目的任务是，通过分析对应

不同美景等级的照片的特征，找出使风景被视为美景的因素。）可知，团队尝试分析景色被视为美景的因素。

由此推知，设空处的内容与给美景下定义让人苦恼有关，所以G项“Determiningwhatscenicnessis,though,has

alwaysbeenfrustratingforscientists7,（确定美景的概念让科学家们感到沮丧。）符合文意，故选G项。

19.上文“Inartificiallandscapes,castles,churchesandcottageswereseenasscenic.”（人工景观中，城堡、教堂

和村舍被视为美景。）讲的是有些人工景观被评为美景。B项"Hospitals,garagesandmotelswerenotsomuch.^^

讲的是医院、车库和汽车旅馆等另一些人工景观的美景评分并不高。上文和设空处讲的都是人工景观的美

景评级结果，由此引出下文的结论：“Theanalysisdid,however,confirmoneimportantfindingfromtheteam's

previousstudy,whichisalsoamessagefortownplanners.Greenspacesalonearenotscenic.^^（然而，该研究的确

印证了团队先前的一项研究，该研究也给城市规划师提供了建议。绿地自身不是美景。）故选B项。

20.上文“Greenspacesalonearenotscenic.Tobesotheyneedtoinvolvecontours（高低起伏的轮廓）andtrees.^^

（绿地自身不是美景，要有高低起伏的轮廓和树木。）说明要多种些树、具有高低起伏的轮廓才算是风景。

E项对上文进行补充，即少一些草地，多一些树和灌木丛才受大家欢迎，符合文意。故选E项。

G.Itdoesn'tmeanyouhavetobethinkinginEnglishallthetime.

【答案】16.G17.D18.C19.E20.F

【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了四种帮助我们学会用英语思考的建议。

16.空前“Thingswilljustbeeasierandfasterifyoudon'ttranslatesomuch.（如果你不翻译那么多，事情会变得

更简单更快）”讲述在用英语思考时，不要过多翻译，空后“That，sveryunrealistic,particularlyififsnottheonly

languageyouspeak.（这是非常不现实的，特别是如果这不是你唯一会说的语言）”强调该空的做法不现实，所

以G选项“Itdoesn'tmeanyouhavetobethinkinginEnglishallthetime.（这并不意味着你必须一直用英语思

考）”符合题意，承上启下，选项中的“thinkinginEnglishallthetime”呼应前文的"don'ttranslatesomuch”,后

文进一步解释一直用英语思考这件事不现实。故选G。

17.由后面段落的结构和位置可知，该空是本段的主旨句，且是祈使句结构。根据空后“Nowadays,mostpeople

lookattheirphonesorcomputersconstantly.IfyouchangethelanguagetoEnglish,notonlywillyoupossibly

learnsomenewvocabulary,butEnglishwillbecomeabiggerpartofyourdailylife.Besides,thinkabouttheapps

thatyouusefrequentlyandchangethelanguagesettings.（如今，大多数人经常看他们的手机或电脑。如果你把

语言换成英语，你不仅可能会学到一些新词汇，而且英语将成为你日常生活中更大的一部分。此外，考虑

一下你经常使用的应用程序，并更改语言设置）”强调把平时用的手机或电脑中的语言改成英语，所以D选

项“Changethelanguageofyourelectronicdevicesand即ps.（改变你的电子设备和应用程序的语言）”符合本段

主题。故选D。

18.空前“Ifyou'reabeginneroryou'refeelinglazyoryoudon'thavemuchenergy,youcanjustusesinglewords.

（如果你是初学者，或者你觉得懒惰，或者你没有太多精力，你可以只用单个单词去表达英文）“强调用单词

去表达英语，C选项“However,itisbetterifyoucanusefullsentences.（然而，如果你能使用完整的句子就更好

了）”承接上文，强调用完整的句子去表达英语会更好，和前一句形成对比。故选C。

19.本段的主题是“Imaginesentencesyoumightuseinaconversation.（想象一下你在对话中可能用到的句子）”，

所以本段都在围绕imaginesentences这一主题。E选项“Trytopredictthetypesofconversationsthatyouwill

have.（试着预测你们将要进行的对话类型）”中的“predict”呼应主题imagine；且承接下文，空后“Forexample,if

you'verecentlyreachedanEnglish-speakingcountryandyou'llattendaparty,it'spossiblethatpeoplewillaskyou

questions,likewhereyou'refromorwhatyourplansare.（例如，如果你最近到了一个说英语的国家，你要参加

一个聚会，人们可能会问你问题，比如你从哪里来，你的计划是什么）''用具体的例子来解释如何预测对话类

型。故选E。

20.空前“Ifyouthinkthatwilltaketoomuchtime,anicealterativeisjustwritingdownpositivethings.（如果你认

为这将花费太多时间，一个不错的选择是写下积极的事情）“作者建议如果觉得花费太久，可以写下积极的事

情，F选项“So,anythingthatmadeyouhappyorthatyouenjoyedisOK.（所以，任何让你开心或喜欢的事情都

可以）”承接上文，选项中的“happy”和“enjoyed”呼应前文所说的“positivethings”。故选F。

【答案】36.F37.C38.D39.G40.B

【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一个真正的朋友决不会做的几件事。

36.根据空后的“Theywouldneverdothefollowingthings.”可知，他们永远不会做下面的事情，这说明真正

的朋友时刻以你的利益为重，故F项（另一方面，•个真正的朋友会把你最大的利益放在心上）符合语境。

37.根据空前的"Seriously,whenyoucomeouttheothersideofadifficultperiodinyourlife,lookaroundyou.^^

可知，说真的，当你在困难时期的另一边出来的时候，看看你的周围，此处承接上文，说的是你发现了什

么，故C项（站在你身边的人是你真正的朋友）符合语境。

38.根据空后的“Instead,theyhelpyourepairyourpresentandfuture.“可知，相反，他们会帮助你修整现在和

将来，Instead表明此处会提到一种相反的做法，故D项（真正的朋友从不对你耿耿于怀）符合语境。

39.根据空后的"Truefriendsaretheoneswhositsilentlywithyouwhenyouneedamomenttothink.“可知，真

正的朋友是那些在你需要思考的时候静静地和你坐在一起的人，故G项（然而，你很快就会意识到，他们

并不是试图解决你所有的问题的人）符合语境。

40.此处为本段主题句，根据每段主题句的句式特点和本段内容可知，本段讲的是真正的朋友决不会只从

你身上索取而不知回报，故B项（从你身上索取而不回报）符合语境。

16.由上文“Ithasthepowertoeducatepeopleaboutalmostanything."（它有能力对人们进行几乎任何事情的教

人经历。故选E。

层次的思维。艺术不仅仅让你吸收信息。），可知此句中的“thinking”与D项的"thinkaboutcurrentideas”相对

应，说明更高层次的思维会会让你思考当前的想法，并激励你做出自己的想法。故选D。

19.由上文“Thisiswhycreativityisaformofintelligence—itisaspecialabilitythatunlocksthepotentialofthe

humanmind."（这就是为什么创造力是一种智力，它是一种特殊的能力，可以释放人类思维的潜能。）可知，

此处由创造力引出的艺术对创造力有促进作用，GAsamatteroffact,studieshaveshownthatexposuretoart

gettingahomeinspection.(来自纽约海湾海岸的莎拉・詹宁斯(SarahJennings)准备买下这套房子，但她的房地产

经纪人建议她去做房屋检查)“以及后文"Jenningssaid,“Iwasjustdepressed.Itwaslessthanperfect.”(詹宁斯

说:“我只是很沮丧。它并不完美。可知，空处应是一个过渡句，应该是检查房子的结果，所以G项“After

fourhours,thehomeinspectorgaveJenningsalistofover20problemswiththe"new"home.(四个d、时后，房屋

检查员给了詹宁斯一张清单，上面写着“新”房子的20多个问题）”符合文意。故选G项。

17.根据后文“Isitsafe?Dotheelectricityandwaterworkwell?Istheroofingoodcondition?Whatrepairsmay

benecessary?（安全吗?水电正常吗?屋顶状况好吗?可能需要哪些修理?户可知，空处在本段中的作用为总结下

文所列举的房屋问题。后面所有列举的问句都是空处这句话的某个方面，所以A项“Theinspectorcheckson

thebuilding.（检查员检查大楼）”符合文意。故选A项。

18.根据后文“Usuallyabuyerputsdownsomemoney（l%-5%ofthepurchaseprice）toshowintenttobuy.The

sellerandbuyermayneedtonegotiatebeforetheydecideonthepriceforthehouse.InBayShore,therearemore

之前可能需要协商一下。在BayShore,买家比房子多户可知，本段是在讲买房缴费的事，空处位于段首，

需起到引领本段的作用，所以C项“Aftertheinspection,Jenningsmadeanofferonthehouse.（看房后，詹宁斯

对那所房子提出了价格）''符合文意。故选C项。

19.分析设空处位于段尾，应是对前文的总结或者承接上文的内容，根据前文“InBayShore,therearemore

buyersthanhouses.（在BayShore,买家比房子多）“可知，B项“SoJenningspaidfullpriceanddidnotnegotiate.（所

以詹宁斯付了全价，没有谈判）”和前句构成因果关系。故选B项。

20.根据前文“InBayShorerecently,thereweremorethan2,000peopleinterestedinbuying52housesinthenew

housingproject最近，在海湾海岸，有超过2000人对购买52套新住宅项目感兴趣）''以及后文“ButJenningsis

notoneofthem.（但詹宁斯不是其中之一）”可知，空处句子肯定有一类人的存在，并且还是和jennings所做行
