答案以及解析

1答案及解析：

答案：1.A;2.C;3.C;4.A

解析：1.词义猪测题。根据下一句的意义“他被智利的各阶层人爱戴着，他的作品广为传

诵，备受尊重。”可猜测出:他曾经被誉为诗坛“巨匠”。

2.细节理解题。根据短文第三段“Tocoverupthepublicationofhisfirstpoem…”一

句可知:聂鲁达的父亲不赞成儿子当诗人，经常想方设法阻止他创作。为了掩人耳目发表第

一首诗，诗人就为自己取了个笔名聂鲁达。

3.推理判断题。第四段二、三句表述的意思是:聂鲁达有着丰富的阅历,他当过外交官，曾流

亡国外。因此，他的诗歌主题多样，并不仅仅限于男女情爱。他的作品还反映了左派政治斗

争以及南美洲的发展。由此判断可知。

4.段落主旨题。根据"Hefoundinspirationinthepowerandfreedomofthewavesand

theseabirdsonthecoast.''和"Helovedhowtheseaforeverreneweditself,a

renewalechoedinhiswork.”两句可知:海浪磅礴的力量、自由的激荡，海岸上展翅翱翔

的海鸟,这一切都给予聂鲁达无尽的创作灵感。他喜欢大海,还因为大海在永不停息地更新

着自己。而他的诗作也犹如大海一样,不断地推陈出新,，

2答案及解析：

答案：1.C;2.C;3.B

解析：1.主旨大意题。文章开门见山提出教育改革小组的想法:发明能够帮助老师判定作文

等级的机器人来减轻教师的负担,然后在下文进行详细介绍,故文章的中心内容是介绍这种

机器人，选C。

2.词义猜测题。从下文whowritethebestautomatedgradingsoftware可知发明这

种机器人的目的是替老师们批阅作文,给学生作文打分，故选Co

3.段落大意题。根据本段中thatcomputerscangradeaswellasEnglishteachers和

withoutallthatdepressingredink以及Anditcanbedoneimmediately.可以判断

本段主要介绍这种机器人的优点,选B。

3答案及解析：

答案：l.D;2.A;3.D;4.A

解析：文章分析了几种购物袋的使用情况,塑料袋会造成环境问题,纸袋尽管容易回收，但生

产和运输需要更多的能源,环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。

1.细节理解题。根据第一段oneofStein'sjobsisdefendinganindustrybehindthe

plasticshoppingbags.和第二段plastic-bagmakersarehiringscientistslikeStein

tomakethecasethattheirproductsarenotasbadfortheplanetasmostpeople

assume.可知，塑料袋生产商雇用StevenStein是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象

的那样对地球有害,是对塑料袋被禁用的解释和争论。故选Do

2.词义猜测题。上文介绍在许多美国大城市塑料袋被禁用，看到这种现状，塑料袋生产商雇

用StevenStein等科学家是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害。

headwinds意为"逆风"，此处指塑料袋被禁用的现状，即Bansonplasticbags,故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据第四段However,longer-lastingreusablebagsoftenrequiremore

energytomake.可知，塑料袋生产商认为生产耐用且能重复使用的袋子需要更多的能源，故

选D。

4.标题归纳题。文章讲述了使用塑料袋会造成环境问题,纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要

更多的能源,环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对

比,Plastic,PaperorNeither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，最适合作为标题。故选A.

点睛：

概括主旨的方法是:先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句,若无明显主题句,就通过关键词

句来概括（如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，要看懂全文的主要内容，明白了主要内

容就能准确概括文章标题）。小题4要求概括标题,本文讲述了使用塑料袋造成的环境问题，

纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源,希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这

三种方式进行了对比，Plastic,PaperorNeither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，适合作为

标题。

4答案及解析：

答案:1.B;2.D;3.A;4.A

解析：1.细节理解题。根据第三段Wewantedtohelptheother86kids,too.可知，兄弟

俩是想通过赠送自行车来帮助孩子。

2.词义猜测题。根据第一段…thegrouphasgivenawaynearly800bikesinseven

differentcountrieso可知，这个组织已经送出近800辆自行车,故可推知，画线词的意思是

“送”。

3.细节理解题o根据第二段可知孩子们拥有自行车的好处有:节省上学路上的时间；意味着自

由；带来快乐;学习更多的知识,故可知答案为A。

4.推理判断题。根据第四段,孩子们会得到捐赠者的照片，知道捐赠者来自何地，而捐赠者也

能得到孩子的照片，可推知他们之间是能够相互了解的。

12:30p.m.atIIT-MumbaiJs13boardingbuiIdingstoencouragestudentstosleep

earlyandtotryandforcethemoutoftheirshells.”故选D。

4.推断题：根据Butthemovehasnotgonedownwellwithstudentswhosaytheyhate

theirlivesbeingregulated."Nowtheywillsayweneedtolistentoalullaby（摇

篮曲）togotosleep.wsaidRajiv,anelectronicsstudent.可知有些学生抱怨这条
