wasalwaysEleanor’sconcern.”和第五段“Mygenerationhasreallyrealizedpollution…Thisisanother

reasonwhyIdesignedthis,

becauseweneedtodosomething.”可知，EleanorWoods

对大气污染的担忧是她发明过滤空气背包的原因之一。故选D。5.C【细节理解题】根据第三段“Poweredbygreenenergy….thebackpack

filterspollutedairbeforefanningoutcleanerairnearby.”和第四段“Itlookscoolandwillhelpgetthem

outsideandfightoffcolds，”可知EleanorWoods发明的背包能够过滤空气，有实际用处。故选C。6.B【细节理解题】根据第四段“MyBreatheBetterBackpackisabout

keepingthoselikemymothersafeusinganairfilter.”可知，这款背包可让哮喘患者出门无忧。故选B。7.D【推理判断题】本文围绕学生EleanorWoods

发明能够过滤空气的背包而展开，通读全文可知她体贴他人且具有创新能力。故选D。C【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了旨在减少孤独，改善老年人的健康状况的项目。8．D【细节理解题】根据第二段“Theprojectwasdreamedupbyalocalcharity(慈善组织)toreducelonelinessandimproveelderlypeople’swellbeing(该项目由当地一家慈善机构构想，旨在减少孤独，改善老年人的健康状况)”可知，这个项目的目的是为了减少孤独和提高老年人的幸福感。故选D项。9．B【推理判断题】根据第五段““It’sgoodtohaveadifferentfocus.Peoplehavebeenbringingtheirchildrenintoseethehensandresidentscomeandsitoutsidetowatchthem.I’menjoyingthecreativeactivities,anditfeelsgreattohavedonesomethinguseful.”(有不同的关注点很好。人们把自己的孩子带进来看母鸡，居民们也来外面坐着看它们。我喜欢创造性的活动，做一些有用的事情的感觉很好。)”可知，RuthXavier很享受做这些事，她觉得自己在做有用的事，这能够给她来良好的感觉，因此可知通过该项目她获得了一种成就感。故选B项。10．C【词句猜测题】根据倒数第二段“WendyWilson,extracaremanagerat60PenfoldStreet,oneofthefirsttoembarkontheproject,said:“Residentsreallywelcometheideaoftheprojectandthecreativesessions.Wearelookingforwardtothebenefitsandfuntheprojectcanbringtopeoplehere.”(彭福街60号的额外护理经理WendyWilson是第一批参与该项目的人之一，她说：“居民们非常欢迎该项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣。”)”可知，WendyWilson是着手这项工程的人之一，也是做这个项目的创始人之一，因此可知，划线处embarkon意为“开始着手做某事”，与C项“Begin(开始)”含义相近。故选C项。11．A【推理判断题】根据倒数第二段“Residentsreallywelcometheideaoftheprojectandthecreativesessions.Wearelookingforwardtothebenefitsandfuntheprojectcanbringtopeoplehere.(居民们非常欢迎该项目的想法和创意会议。我们期待这个项目能给这里的人们带来好处和乐趣)”以及最后一段“LynnLewis,directorofNottingHillPathways,said:“Wearehappytobetakingpartintheproject.Itwillreallyhelpconnectourresidentsthroughasharedinterestandcreativeactivities.”(“诺丁山路径”的负责人林恩·刘易斯说：“我们很高兴能参与这个项目。它将通过共同的兴趣和创造性活动真正帮助我们的居民联系起来。”)”可知，该项目得到了居民们的认可，大家很欢迎这个项目，而且这个项目将会带来一些好处，因此可知这个项目的反响很好，很受欢迎。故选A项。D【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文，作者针对英国日益增多的成年人回到父母身边啃老的社会问题发表了自己的看法，并分析了问题产生的原因及应对策略。12.B【推理判断题】由第二段中的Thequalityoflifeforparentso£boomerangkidsfellonaveragebyabout0.8points可知，那些啃老族的父母的生活质量在下降。13.A【事实细节题】由第三段中的Midlifedivorce,insecuregigeconomyworkandstraightforwardpovertyallplaytheirpartindrivingwhatwereonceperfectlyfunctioninggrown-upsbacktotheirteenagebedrooms.可知，各个方面的压力迫使成年人回家。14.D【推理判断题】由最后一段中thenthafsnotmuchofachoice及下文作者的论述可知，作者对于这种趋势是不赞成的。15.A【标题归纳题】由全文可知，本文论述的社会现象是曾经的空巢家庭迎来了成年人返巢的热潮，A项符合文意。第二节七选五（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）16.D空白前提到大部分长途火车票很快就会售完，空白后提到“但是，无论你什么时候旅行，最好至少提前90天预订你的车票”,D项“在繁忙的夏季尤其如此"承上启下，选项中的summermonths与空白后nomatterwhen相呼应，故D项符合语境。17.G根据本段首句Useatravelagent.以及整段内容可知，作者建议将旅行事务交给一位旅行代办人，他可以帮忙处理一些旅行中遇到的实际问题，例如可以帮忙买到打折票。G项“他也可能帮你订到紧邻餐车的卧铺车厢”符合语境，且与空白后的“这样你就不必为了吃饭在行驶的火车上一天三次穿过好几节车厢了”相呼应。18.C空白前提到建议乘客在坐火车时带一条毯子，因为火车上是不会免费提供的。空白后又提到夏天的时候，空调系统可能会导致车厢内很冷。由此可以推断，车厢内的温度忽高忽低，比较难控制，故C项符合语境。19.E根据空白前“大部分火车一天只运行一趟，还有一些火车一周只运行三趟，所以错过一趟车可能是一场灾难”可知，如果你没赶上火车，你可能需要很久才能等到下一趟火车，故E项符合语境。20.A根据整段内容可知，作者建议通过在火车上看书、织毛线活儿，或者计算火车的运行速度等消遣方式来享受旅途，而能够静下心来做这些事情的，通常不会是那些缺乏耐心的人，故A项符合语境。第二部分第一节完形填空（15小题，每题1分）21.B22.C23.D24.B25.D26.C27.D28.B29.A30.B31.A32.C33.C34.D35.A【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过教练给自己的意见，明白了不需要太在乎他人怎么做，做好自己就行。【21题】考查介词短语辨析。句意：特别是，它让我挑战了对退休和衰老的固定预期。A.Inturn轮流；B.Inparticular特别；C.Inadvance提前；D.Indepth深入地。根据前文“Thislessonhasguidedmeinmanyways.”以及后文“itmademechallengethefixedexpectationsofretirementandaging.”可知，跑步在很多方面指导作者，特别是让作者挑战了对退休和衰老的固定预期。故选B项。【22题】考查动词词义辨析。句意：我是在参加马拉松比赛庆祝我的60岁生日时意识到这一点的。A.training培训；B.struggling奋斗；C.competing参加比赛；D.searching搜索。根据后文“Alltheotherrunnersbeingfasterthanme”可知，作者是在参加比赛。故选C项。23题】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：其他选手都比我跑得快，这使我很尴尬。A.pitiful可怜的；B.grateful感激的；C.impressed印象深刻的；D.embarrassed尴尬的。根据前文“Alltheotherrunnersbeingfasterthanme”可知，其他所有选手都比我快，这使我尴尬。故选D项。【24题】考查名词词义辨析。句意：设定一个目标或目标时间可以是一种实践。A.resolution决心；B.practice实践，实际行动；训练C.limitation限制；D.motivation动力。根据前文“Settingagoalortargettime”以及后文“Iranmoreeasilyandfaster.”结合常识可知，设立目标或者目标时间去采取实际行动，然后作者跑得更轻松更快了。故选B项。【25题】考查介词短语辨析。句意：随着时间的推移，我跑得更轻松更快了。A.Againsttime尽快地；B.Aheadoftime提前；C.Ofalltime始终；D.Overtime随着时间的过去。根据后文“Iranmoreeasilyandfaster.”可知，作者跑得更轻松更快了，但是需要时间，才能有这种感觉。故选D项。【26题】考查动词词义辨析。句意：我把这个原则应用到我生活的其他方面。A.exposed暴露；B.compared比较；C.applied应用；D.suggested建议。根据后文“tootherareasofmylife”可知，是作者把“用你自己最好的速度跑步”这个原则应用到生活的其他方面。故选C项。【27题】考查名词词义辨析。句意：找到节奏与效率无关，也与一天能做多少事无关。A.music音乐；B.business商业；C.requirement要求；D.efficiency效率。根据后文“howmanythingsIcangetdoneinaday”可知，此处是指效率。故选D项。【28题】考查动词词义辨析。句意：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。A.subscribe订阅；B.extend扩大；C.contribute贡献；D.refer涉及。根据后文“includingwhatpeopleatcertainlifestagesshouldbedoingornotdoing.”可知，此处表达“期望也延伸到生活的其他领域”之意。故选B项。【29题】考查动词短语辨析。句意：在我这个年纪，人们的期望可能集中在休闲时间如何度过、就业决定，甚至是祖父母的角色。A.centeron着重在；B.hopefor盼；C.decideon决定；D.callfor呼吁。根据前文“includingwhatpeopleatcertainlifestagesshouldbedoingornotdoing.”可知，期望告诉人们在某些生命阶段应该做什么或不应该做什么，所以此处是说作者这个年龄主要想做什么。故选A项。【30题】考查名词词义辨析。句意：句意：在我这个年纪，人们的期望可能集中在休闲时间如何度过、就业决定，甚至是祖父母的角色。A.boss老板；B.grandparent祖父母；C.athlete运动员；D.citizen公民。根据前文“Runningisametaphorforlife.Irealizedthiswhile22foramarathontocelebratemy60thbirthday.”可知，作者已经60岁了，所以是期望成为祖父母。故选B项。【31题】考查名词短语辨析。句意：我过去认为是年轻人承受了同龄人的压力，但老年人也会经历这种压力。A.peerpressure同辈压力；B.separationanxiety分离焦虑；C.sleepingdisorder睡眠障碍；D.agediscrimination年龄歧视。根据后文“becauseoftenlaterinlifeisatimewhenwearelessinclinedtocareabouttheopinionsofothers.”可知，“我们”这个年纪的人不关心别人的看法，给他人压力。故选A项。【32题】考查形容词词义辨析。A.natural自然的；B.unacceptable不可接受的；C.ironic讽刺的；D.significant重要的。根据后文“becauseoftenlaterinlifeisatimewhenwearelessincli

前应用不定冠词an。37.holding考查非谓语动词——现在分词的用法。amaid与hold之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系。38.carries考查谓语动词的时态和主谓一致。While为连词，后跟句子，此处应为谓语动词，主语是the

righthand，故用carries。39.Amazingly考查动词转为对应的副词形式。此处位于句首，修饰整个句子，故用副词

Amazingly。40.where考查定语从句关系词的选择。先行词为body，关系副词where在从句中作状语，相当于inhe
