Unit5LearningfromnatureⅠ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的老师MissBaugh是个很可怕的人,某天作者对MissBaugh恶作剧,结果MissBaugh没有生气反而笑了。这让作者意识到冷峻的人可能对别人很友好。1.A推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Inclass,shealwaystaughtustotakeschoolseriously.ShehadbeenteachingforalongtimeandIwasasafraidofherasanyone,includingtheboyswhoweretypicallynaughtyinthebackrow.”可推知,MissBaugh严肃且经验丰富。2.C词义猜测题。根据画线词下文“Onesuchprophadtwoparts:aninkbottlepaintedtolookasthoughithadoverturned,andapieceofshinyblackmetalshapedlikeapool.”可知,此处描写的道具由两部分组成:一个被涂成翻倒样子的墨水瓶,还有一块闪闪发光的黑色金属,形状像一个水池。即这些是作者用来恶作剧的东西。故画线词意思是“恶作剧”。3.C推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Andthen,mostunexpectedly,shelaughed.‘Well,itcertainlyfooledme!’shesaid.Shereturnedthepropstome,andforafewsecondsasweetlittleagedladyappearedrightwhereMissBaughstood.”可知,MissBaugh放声大笑,把道具还给了作者。4.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Ibegantorealizethat,ifsomeonelikeMissBaughhadawarmheartbeneaththatcrustysurface,thenothercrustypeoplewouldprobablydo,too.ThatmayhavebeenthemostvaluablelessonIlearned.”可知,作者学到了冷峻的人可能对别人很友好。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在生活中,我们经常容易陷入比较陷阱,从而影响自己。专家建议我们要关注自己,和自己比较。5.D细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Althoughcomparingcanbegoodforyou,it’snotalwayshelpfulandyoucanfindyourselfstuckinacomparisontrap.Thisiswhenyoualwaysmeasureyourselfagainstothersandbaseyourfeelingsonhowwelltheyseemtobedoing.”可知,比较陷阱会让我们总是把自己的感受建立在别人的成就上。6.B推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“‘Comparingup’meansseeingsomeonedoingbetterthanyouandusingthattoinspireyourselftoaimhigherandtryharder.However...well,saysGoddard-Hill,butitcanalsostopyouwantingtoimprove.,”可知,攀比和比差都既有优点又有缺点。7.A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Finally,focusonyourownachievementsandhowyoucanimprove.‘Thebestpersonyoucancompetewithisyourself,’saysGoddard-Hill.”可知,BeckyGoddard-Hill建议我们与自己竞争,力争做最好的自己就好。8.C推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“BeckyGoddard-Hillisachildtherapist(someonewhohelpschildrenunderstandtheirfeelings)andauthorofCreateYourOwnConfidence.Shesaysthatcomparisonscanmakeusfeelgoodandbadaboutourselves.”可知,文章主要讲述的是比较会让我们陷入比较陷阱,从而产生心理问题,所以这篇文章选自健康专栏。Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了开设一家共享物品馆的步骤和它对社会经济产生的积极作用。1.G上文“Insteadofclutteringourhomes,garagesandtheplanet,settingupaLibraryofThingsallowsneighbourstoborrowandsharehuge,priceygoods.”提到要建立物品馆,可知,空处承接上文,指出物品馆出现了,与G项“价格合理、方便且环保的共享物品馆正在涌现”符合,同时和下文“Butinsteadofborrowingbooks,localpeopleareborrowingdrills,pastamakersandguitarsforanaffordablefee.”构成转折关系,说明虽然共享物品馆涌现,但是人们没有去借书而是租借了其他物品。2.A根据下文“Linkintolocalnetworksandaskpeopletovoteona‘wishlist’ofitemstheycouldborrow.”可知,通过链接可以让人们对于可以借的物品进行投票是对A项“了解当地人是否需要共享物品馆”内容的承接,指出了解当地人是否对共享物品馆有需求这一问题的具体做法就是通过在网上让人们投票。3.D根据上文“Thenfindspaceinbuildingsinurbanareaswithhighfootfallsuchaslibrariesorcommunityhubs.”可知,上文介绍了在城市的哪些地方可以找到空间建立共享物品馆,与D项“但在农村地区,移动共享物品馆可以发挥作用”构成转折关系,表明在乡村地区共享物品馆的形式和城市中的情况有所不同。4.E根据上文“Wewerelivinginasmallhouseandneededsometoolstoputupshelves.Wedidn’twanttoownthetoolsandhiringthemwasexpensive!”可知,我们不想为搭架子的工具花钱,和E项“我们也对自己制造的浪费感到恼火”都是对小标题“为什么建立物品馆”的原因举例说明。5.B上文“We’verunverysuccessfulevents”及下文“Borrowershavepreviouslytestedoutnewfoodbusinesses...creatinglocaljobsandsupportingthelocalcommunityspaces.”是对B项“物品馆在当地具有乘数效应”中的multipliereffect这一概念进行了解释说明,乘数效应是指在公共工程项目之后带来的消费水平和私人投资水平的上升,因为物品馆举办的活动使人们的就业机会增加并支持了当地的社区空间。Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统民间工艺品——面塑,并介绍了其传承人刘增辉及其制作面塑的过程等。1.dates考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本句谓语动词datebackto无被动形式,根据上下文可知,时态为一般现在时;主语Do
