M.pollutants

【参考答案】

Mpollutants.

Nrestricted.

Cconsequence.

Jinnovation.

Fdetail.

Kintended.

Loutdoor.

33.Bcollaborating.

34.1inhabitants.

35.Ecreating.

26.Mpollutants.解析:of前边是levels级别,等级的意思,of后应该是名

词形式，翻译为—的级别，根据文章首句说南加利福尼亚的雾霾是出了名的

差可判断这篇文章关于坏境。26空这一句说在美国,洛杉矶__的级别方面是

最差的城市，名词又跟环境污染有关的就是M选项pollutants污染物。

27.Nrestricted.解析:倒装句,正常语序应该是thestate'sbadairis

nottoitssouth.意思既相符，又符合这个搭配的只能是restricted,be

restrictedto仅限于。

28.Cconsequence.解析：本空在a后边一定是名词，asaconsequence

固定搭配,意为结果,因此。这句话意思是,结果,具名的心脏和肺都受到感染。

29.Jinnovation.解析空格前边是名词of形容词，因此可推断此结构是Aof

B的结构，因此空格应该是名词。跟在technological技术的后边，并且后文

又说designed设计监视器,可推断这里应该是技术创新闻名的地方,因此才

能设计出来一些机器。

30.Fdetail.解析：本句是一个完整句说明不缺成分，那么空格的地方应该是

状语部分，跟在in后边detail可形成固定搭配，indetail详细的。

31.Kintended.解析：be—to因此这个地方应该是动词ing或者动词过去

分词，在仅有的几个符合条件的选项里intended符合意思,beintendedto打

算做某事，意图做某事。

32.Loutdoor.解析：空格前边of后边名词此处缺一个形容词，前边说这个

检测器目的是监测出__的环境污染,符合意思的是。utdoor户外的环境污染

情况。

33.Bcollaborating.解析：位于hasbeen_with后边此处应该是动词ing或

动词过去分词，只剩下了collaborating和creating,collaborating是可以和

with搭配的，意为与…合作，符合题意。

34.1inhabitants.解析：跟在city'后边一定是名词，后边又是被迫使用汽车,

前边应该是人类，表达人类的选项是consumers和inhabitants，但是这篇文

章并没有强调消费者，所以根据整篇文章的北京应该是说城市的居民们。

35.Ecreating.解析：在剩下的六个选项里Aassisted含义不符合D

consequence词性不符合Gdomestic含义不符合Hfrequently词性不符合0

sum词性不符合，符合形式以及含义的只有creating。

【篇章分析】

本篇文章整体阅读难度并不大，主要讲的是关于居住在绿色生态空间的人们要比

居住在市区的人们拥有长期的积极的幸福影响。文章后的五道题目以事实细节考

查为主，题干定位信息明确，做题难度在中等偏下水平。

【参考答案】

46BAddtotheirsustainedhappiness.

47AEarnmoremoney.

48CHowlongitspositiveeffectlasts.

49DTheircommunicationwithothersimproved.

50AFindfinancialsupport.

【答案解析】

46.根据题干中的定位名词study和greenspaces回文快速定位到文章中的第

一段，根据第一段的信息可得出UKresearchersfoundmovingtoagreen

spacehadasustainedpositiveeffect（英国研究者发现搬到绿色小区可以带

来持久的积极影响）o以及"peoplelivingingreenerurbanareaswere

displayingfewersignsofdepressionoranxiety（生活在绿色小区的人们较

少表现出抑郁或焦虑的情绪）"这两处信息可以确定本题的正确选项是B（Add

）

totheirsustainedhappiness0

47.本题根据题干定位词Dr.White及usuallydo定位到本篇文章中的第一段

"Therecouldbeanumberofreasons,"hesaid,Hforexample,peopledo

manythingstomakethemselveshappier:theystriveforpromotionor

payrises,ortheygetmarried处，根据本句信息，可推出人们通常让自己快

乐的事是挣更多的钱，因此本题的正确选项为

A(Earnmoremoney.)0

48.由第一段可知"升值、加薪、中彩票只会给人们带来短期的快乐，这种快乐

在过了六个月到一年后就会消失"，第二段首句"Dr.Whitesaidhisteam

wantedtoseewhetherlivingingreenerurbanareashadalasting

positiveeffectonpeople'ssenseofwell-beingorwhethertheeffectalso

disappearedafteraperiodoftime."进一步承接第一段说明Dr.White的研

究目的是要知道居住在绿色环境中给人带来的积极影响可以持续多久。故本题正

确选项为选项(

CHowlongitspositiveeffectlasts.)0

49.根据题干信息可以将本题定位至第三段,在最后一句话中，"Heobserved

thatpeoplelivingingreenspaceswerelessstressed,andlessstressed

peoplemademoresensibledecisionsandcommunicatedbetter//由最后

的communicatebetter可以得出本题的正确选项为D(Their

communicationwithothersimproved.)o

50.根据本题题干给出的信息，根据定位词Dr.White和government,可定

位至最后一段，提到我们需要资金来建立一个高质量的绿色社区，从最后一段的

最后一句话"whatwereallyneedatapolicylevelistodecidewherethe

moneyisgoingtocomefromtohelpsupportgoodqualitylocalgreen

可得出本题的正确选项为

过去，乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的。如今随着经济的发展和生

活水平的提高，越来越多的中国人包括许多农民和外出务工人员都能乘飞机出

行。他们可以乘飞机到达所有大城市，还有许多城市也在筹建机场。航空服务

不断改进，而且经常会有特价机票。所年来，节假日期间选择飞机外出旅游的人

不断增加。
