【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了说闲话的影响，分析了人们为什

么喜欢传闲话。

4.A【解析】推理判断题。根据第一和第二段uHDidyouhearwhathappenedto

AdamlastFriday?,rLindseywhisperstoTori.Withhereyesshining,

Toribrags,"YoubetIdid,Seantoldmetwodaysago.可知，

这两段叙述了两个人在说别人闲话的场景。根据第三段中的“Whoare

LindseyandToritalkingabout?Itjusthappenedtobeyourstruly,

AdamFreedman,Icantellyouthatwhattheyaresayingis(a)

notniceand(b)noteventrue.Still,LindseyandToriaren't

verydifferentfrommoststudentshereatLintonHighSchool,

includingme.Manyofourconversationsaregossip(闲话).”

可知，说闲话这种事几乎人人都会做。根据"Ihavenoticedthree

effectsofgossip：itcanhurtpeople,itcangivegossipersa

strangekindofsatisfaction,anditcancausesocialpressuresin

agroup.”可知，下文主要叙述“说闲话”的三个影响。由此推知，文

章开头引用两人的交谈是为了引出“说闲话”这个话题。故选A。

5.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的uAnimportantnegativeeffectof

gossipisthatitcanhurtthepersonbeingtalkedabout99可知，

说闲话的一个重要的负面影响是它会伤害被谈论的人。即：给被谈论的人

带来不愉快的体验。故选D。

6.B【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的^Gossipalsocanhaveathird

effect：itstrengthensunwritten,unspokenrulesabouthowpeople

shouldact.ProfessorDavidWilsonexplainsthatgossipis

importantinpolicingbehaviorsinagroup.Translatedintohigh

schoolterms,thismeansthatifeverybodyyouhangaroundwithis

laughingatwhatJohnworeorwhatJanesaid,thenyoucanbetthat

wearingorsayingsomethingsimilarwillgetyouthesamekindof

negativeattention.可知，闲话还有第三个作用：它强化了关于人们

应该如何行动的不成文的规定。大卫•威尔逊教授解释说，流言蜚语对监

督一个群体的行为很重要。换句话说，这意味着：如果你周围的每个人都

在嘲笑约翰穿的衣服或简说的话，那么，穿着类似的衣服或说类似的话会

让你得到同样的负面注意。由此推知，ProfessorDavidWilson认为闲

话可以帮助人们注意他们的行为。故选B。

7.D【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的^Thenexttimeyoufeeltheurge

tospreadthelatestnews,thinkaboutwhyyouwanttogossipand

whateffectsyournjuicystoryMmighthave.”可知，下次你想要传

播最新消息的时候，想想你为什么要说闲话，你的“有趣的故事“可能会

有什么影响。即：在你说闲话之前要三思。故选D。

关于人们在社交媒体上发布自拍的原因，故选B。

9.C【解析】词义猜测题。下文Those“likes”undertheirFacebookselfies

makethemfeelgood.意思是脸书自拍下面的“赞”让他们感觉很好。由

做法并没有太大不同。）由此推断出，Chock对发布自拍照持支持态度。

A.Ambiguous.模糊不清的；B.Cautious.谨慎的；C.Disapproving.反

对的；D.Supportive.支持的，故选D。

11.A【解析】细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段Theywerehappytohearyour

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。无人机曾是军方专用的飞行器，但是现在它

被应用于越来越多的领域。以及说明了一位法国商人创建了一家公司，开发了一

种可以由地面人员控制的小型无人机，可以帮助法国农民检查庄稼，和另一位农

民使用无人机来提供施肥信息。

12.A【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中Butastheyhavedroppedinprice

morepeoplehavebeguntousethem.（但是随着它们价格的下降，越

来越多的人开始使用它们）可知救援人员和农民开始使用无人机是因为他

们现在买得起了。故选A。

fourdifferent-colored“bands“ofsunlightthatarereflectedoff

thecrops.（无人机上的传感器记录了四个不同颜色的“光带”，它们被

作物反射）可知无人机上的传感器主要用于记录作物反射的阳光“光带”。

故选Do

14.C【解析】词义猜测题。根据后文haswings无人机使用的技术与智能手机类

似，只是无人机有机翼。可知第3段划线的“it”一词可能指的是无人机。

故选C。

15.C【解析】主旨大意题。根据第三段中RomainFarouxisaFrenchbusinessman,

whosefatherwasafarmer.Hebelieveddronescouldhelpfarmers.

Hehashelpedcreateacompanywhichhasdevelopedasmalldrone

是一位法国商人，他的父亲是一位农民。他相信无人机可以帮助农民。他

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。10岁的小女孩PromiseSawyers天生拥

有蓬松发型，这使她在学校里遭到了同学的取笑。Promise并没有因此而闷闷不

乐，而是用阳光的心态应对一切，坚守自己的快乐。她的视频激励了很多人。

4.A【解析】词义猜测题。联系画线词所在句中的uwithhernaturalhair”

和第二段第二句“Init,Sawyersexplainedthatshewasfeeling

'sometypeofway'afterherclassmateshadmeanthingstosay-

aftersheworehernaturalhairthedaybefore.”可知，同学们嘲

笑的是她的头发。由此可推知，afro指的是一种发型。故选A。

5.D【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第三句uButshewasdeterminednotto

letitbringherdown,andworeitthesamewaythefollowingday.99

可知，Promise被同学们嘲笑后，决定第二天仍然保持着同样的发型去上

学。故选D。

6.B【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段第二句"She'salwaystaughther

daughterto'meetanegativewithapositive’,evenwhensomebody

istryingtobringherdown.”可知，Daugherty一直教女儿在遇到令

她沮丧的事情时用积极乐观的心态去面对。由此可推知，当女儿遇到令人

气馁的事情时，Daugherty会建议她去看到阳光的一面。故选B。

7.D【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段中Daugherty所说的“Wehadnoidea

theimpactthatitwasgoingtomakeandtheamountofmessagesv

可知，她此前没有料想到这个视频能引起如此大的反响。由此可推知，她

对人们对该视频的反应感到吃惊。故选D。
