Unit5RevealingnatureⅠ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一群年轻人由于不了解小费文化,给了太多小费,让在餐厅工作的Timothy十分尴尬,还好最后年轻人认识到了自己的问题,写信解释了原因。1.C细节理解题。根据第一段中“Althoughearningalowwageandhandlingill-manneredcustomers,healwaysputservingthosewhosatathistableswell...”可知,Timothy的工作重点是提供更好的服务。2.B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Hearrivedatworkandexpectedittobelikeanyotherday,buttherewassomethingleftonthedeskforhim,atwohandwrittenletterfromtheteenagerswith$18attached,inwhichtheyexplainedtheywereunawareofhowtotipappropriatelyduetoitbeingtheirfirsttimeinthisbar.”可知,这些青少年留下了3美元的小费是因为不了解小费文化。3.B推理判断题。根据第一段以及最后一段内容可推知,Timothy是个积极、投入的人。故选B项。4.D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Hearrivedatworkandexpectedittobelikeanyotherday...theywereunawareofhowtotipappropriatelyduetoitbeingtheirfirsttimeinthisbar.Everythingsuddenlymadesense.”可推知,年轻人告诉我们:把事情做对是件好事。【语篇解读】本文是一篇影评。文章主要介绍作者对改编自弗雷德里克·巴克曼(FredrikBackman)非常搞笑、令人心碎的小说《一个叫欧维的男人决定去死》的瑞典电影的评价。5.D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Towardtheendofthatfilm,whichwasbeautifullywrittenanddirectedbyHannesHolm”可知,这部电影是汉内斯·霍姆(HannesHolm)写的。6.C细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Inthatmoment,Ovehasstartedtofindhisnewpurposejustbyallowingothersbackintohislifeandcaringforthem.”可知,欧维已经让他自己融入社会中。7.C主旨大意题。根据第四段可知,这一段主要讲述欧维的许多奇怪行为的原因。8.B推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段可知,这篇文章是电影评论。Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于左撇子的一些有趣的事情。1.E根据上文可知,研究发现左撇子更独立,浏览下文可知接下来文章主要讲的是左撇子的一些有趣的事情,全文是总—分的结构,由此推知,空处承上启下。E项“Hereareafewmorefascinatingleft-handedpeoplefacts!”承接上文,引出下文,符合上下文语境。2.G根据本段标题“Morelikelytohaveallergiesandsleepdisorders”可知,本段主要讲的是左撇子更容易过敏和有睡眠障碍。根据空前“Astudyfoundthatleft-handedpeoplewere11timesmorelikelytosufferfromallergiesthanright-handedfolk.”可知,此处讲的是左撇子更容易患过敏症,所以可以推断接下来应该讲的是睡眠障碍问题。G项“Andleftiesweretwoandahalftimesmorelikelytosufferfromsleepdisorders.”指出了左撇子更容易患有睡眠障碍,符合上下文语境。3.C根据本段小标题“Left-handedpeopleusetherightsideofthebrainthemost”可知,本段主要讲的是左撇子更多地使用右脑。根据空后“meaningthattherightsidecontrolstheleftsideofthebodyandtheotherwayaround”可知此处是在对左右脑的交叉控制这一事实进行解释,所以空处应该指出大脑是交叉控制的这一事实。C项“Asweknow,thebrainiscross-wired,”符合上下文语境。4.D根据本段小标题“Areleft-handedpeoplesmarter?”可知,本段主要围绕着左撇子是不是更聪明来展开。根据空后内容可知,关于左撇子的智商问题,不同日期的研究结果是不一样的。空处位于段首,应是对全段的概括,所以空处应该讲关于左撇子是不是更聪明这个问题的答案与消息来源的日期有关。D项“Thisonevariesdependingonhowdatedyoursourceis!”既回答了小标题的提问,同时也概括了全段,而且D项中的Thisone指代小标题的问题,符合上下文语境。5.A根据本部分内容可知,左撇子在解决问题时更倾向于整体解决问题。空处为本段小标题,所以空处应该讲的是左撇子的另外一个有趣的事实——更善于把问题看作一个整体来解决。A项“Betteratmultitasking”指出左撇子善于处理多项任务,符合上下文语境。故选A项。Ⅲ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国文化中的石狮。1.wh
