anotherbestfriendfromhighschool,Rory,and...IactuallycouldnotrememberthelasttimeI'd

seenhim."（当我走回我在新闻编辑室的办公桌时——大概有100码的距离——我迅速地清

点了一下我的朋友名单。首先，是我的朋友马克。等等，我们到底多久出去玩一次?一年四

五次吧?还有一位高中时的好朋友，罗里，我都不记得上次见他是什么时候了。）和第三段“but

asIrandownthelistofthoseIconsideredreal,true,lifelongfriends,Irealizedthatithadbeen

yearssinceIsawmanyofthem,evendecadesforafew."（但当我翻阅那些我认为是真正的、真

实的、一生的朋友的名单时，我意识到我已经很多年没有见到他们了，甚至几十年没有见到

他们了。）可推知，第二段作者很艰难地回忆起他的两个朋友，第三段作者意识到他己经有

很多年没有见到那些真正的朋友了，作者走回新闻编辑部后意识到自己失去了一些最好的朋

友们。故选A。

3.

wasvery,verydangerous.AndIknewIneededachange."（我意识到，从长远来看，我正在走

【分析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述Wedelstedt在下山是不幸上到了她的左腿，得到一群陌生

人的帮助，她的朋友以及其他的登山客组成一条“人肉”传送带，用接力的方式将她背下山的

故事，这使得Wedelstedt终生难忘他们的帮助。

9.

推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Whentheyapproachedarockydropofacoupleoffeet,

Wedelstedtdecidedtojumpoverit.Shelandedonherleftleg.Thensheheardthesnap（咔嚓

声）.（当他们接近一个几英尺高的落地点时，Wedelstedl决定跳过去。她左腿着地。然后她听

到了咔嚓的一声）”及下文其他人帮助她下山，可推知，她的腿受伤了。故选B。

10.

细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Finally,onehiker,Matt,askedher,“Howdoyoufeelabouta

fireman'scarry?^^Beforesheknewit,hehadliftedheroverhisshoulder.（最后，一个Matt的徒

步旅行者问她：“你觉得消防员扛行李怎么样？“在她意识到之前，他已经把她举过肩膀户可

推理判断题。根据文章最后一段"Shehasmostlyrecoveredfromherhike,butWedelstedtknows

she'llnevershakeonethingfromthatday:thememoryofthebandofstrangerswhocametoher

Wedelstedt知道，那天发生的一件事永远不会让她忘怀：那群陌生人拯救她的记忆。“我仍

然感到敬畏。"Wedelstedt说户可推知，Wedelstedt对救她的陌生人是非常尊敬的，故选A。

12.

主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“GraysPeak（山顶）inColoradorises14,278feetabovesealevel,

格雷斯峰海拔14278英尺，对树木来说太高了，无法向山顶生长，但那里有大量的灌木丛和

岩石）”及下文内容可知，文章主要讲述的是一群陌生人组成一条“人肉”传送带帮助受伤的

Wedelstedt下山的故事。由此可知，D选项“PeakPerfbrmance（山顶表演）”形象的比喻了山上

发生的故事，适合作标题。故选D。

【点睛】

标题猜测题。主旨大意题的一种，标题应位于文章之首，概括文章内容，点明文章主题。它

可以是单词，短语，或句子。确定文章标题，第一，标题要与主题密切相关；其次，看标题

是否能概括全文内容，不能只概括短文中的某些事实或细节；第三，标题范围不应太大或太

小；最后，标题应新颖，概括性强并且精炼。小题4中D选项与主题密切相关，故选D项。

16.C17.E18.A19.F20.G

【分析】

这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了变化和多样性是语言的调味剂，我们可以试着用一些新词去替

换一些旧词来进行描述，从而丰富我们的语言。

16.

上文“Varietyisthespiceoflanguage.Thewordslistedinthisbookarenotintendedtoreplace

thosethatmostpeopleusemostofthetime.Rather,theyarevariationsofthetheme.Wetendto

usethesameoldwordsoverandoveragain,tolimitourpowerofexpressionbylimitingour

vocabulary.Thereisnothingwrongwiththe“oldwords”.（多样性是语言的调味品。这本书中

列出的词汇并不是要取代大多数人大部分时间使用的词汇。相反，它们是主题的变体。我们

倾向于一遍又一遍地使用同样的老词，通过限制词汇量来限制我们的表达能力。“老词”没什

么错）”可知上文强调多样性是语言的调味品，突出新词的地位。设空处位于段尾，应是对

上文进行总结oC项“Butwhynotenhanceyourspeechandwritingbylearningtousenewones

fromtimetotimeasalternatives?（但是为什么不通过不时学习使用新的词来提高你的演讲和

写作能力呢？）”与“Thereisnothingwrongwiththe“oldwords”.”构成转折关系，与上文一致，

故选C。

17.

上文“Howoftenhaveyouspokenofhavinganaccident?（你多久提起一次意外？）“，讲到你

多久提起一次意外，下文“Everyonetalksoftheusualthingtodoorexpect.Mightnotone,to

enrichhisspeech,speakofthecustomarythingorwhynotoccasionallydescribeasituationas

aggravatedinsteadofworsened?（每个人都在谈论平常要做的事或期望的事。为了丰富他的

演讲内容，谈论一些习惯性的事情，那为什么不偶尔把情况描述成“aggravated”而不

“worsened”呢？）“可知I,此处阐述用另外的表达描述上文的“havinganaccident”。设空处位

于段中，承上启下，E项“Canweusethealternativemishaponceinawhile?（为什么不偶尔使

用替代性的“mish叩”来描述呢？）”与上文及下文一致，故选E。

18.

下文“Varythemwiththe“newwords”.Englishisanespeciallyrichlanguage,andoftenthereare

tinydifferencesbetweentwowordsthataregenerallyregardedasthesame.Thus,amishap（小事
