Unit4AmazingartⅠ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,文章主要讲述了因意外发生事故而导致瘫痪的Whitsett,利用网络平台筹集资金购买轮椅的故事。1.B细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“ShewasasleepintheSUVshewasridinginwhenthedriverlostcontrolandthecarrolledjustoutsideofPhoenix,Arizona.”可知,当事故发生的时候,她正在车里睡觉,故选B项。2.C细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Whitsetthasbeenusingthesamewheelchairsince2018,andsadly,ithasfallenintodisrepair.”可知,旧的轮椅修理不好了。3.A词义猜测题。根据画线词后“I’msoappreciativeofyouall(我很感激你们所有人)”和倒数第二段中的“Herstoryquicklyspreadandsheraisedtheentire$5,000injustaday!”可知,网友们一直在给Whitsett捐钱,支持她买轮椅,patronage意为“支持”。4.D推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Shehopesthatsharingherstorywillhelptobringaboutchangeandmakecriticalmedicalnecessities,likewheelchairs,moreaffordableandaccessibletoothersinsimilarsituations.”可知,Whitsett分享她的故事的目的是希望帮助发生改变,使得像她一样的残疾人能够负担得起医疗必需品,故选D项。【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了作者通过在穷困潦倒的情况下在家里寻找零钱这件事所明白的道理。5.A细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Iwaslookingforpennies,quarters—anythingthatwouldhelpmemakeittotheendoftheweek.”可知,作者翻找旧钱包是为了寻找零钱支付本周的开支。故选A项。6.C推理判断题。根据第三段“Lifeconsistedofupsanddowns.Oneyear,IwashavingbabyshowersandtakingvacationsinthemountainsofTennessee.Thenext,Iwassearchingaroundmysmall,two-bedroomapartmentcollectingloosechangetobuyfoodandgas.Suddenly,Ifoundmyselfbecomingpoor,anditwashard.”可推知,作者之前生活富足。故选C项。7.B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“IrememberthemintentionallybecauseIpromisedmyselfthatifIwereevertoescapethepainsofpoverty,Iwouldneverforgetthevalueofapenny.”可推知,作者承诺要从小事情中发现巨大的价值。8.D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Irememberthosedaysasiftheywereyesterday,butIdon’trememberthemwithsadness.IrememberthemintentionallybecauseIpromisedmyselfthatifIwereevertoescapethepainsofpoverty,Iwouldneverforgetthevalueofapenny.”并结合本文主要讲的是作者在急需钱的情况下,找遍所有可能存放硬币的地方,以解燃眉之急。此后,作者再也不轻视每一分钱的价值。由此推知,这篇文章想要传达的是,一分钱是一粒小小的种子,它同样也孕育着财富。Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了JasonBoudreaux在市场遭遇无法支付的尴尬,一位陌生男士挺身而出帮他付了钱。他很感激,将照片和信息发布到社交网站上,并在朋友的帮助下很快找到了好心人。1.C此处说明JasonBoudreaux在最近的凯德市场之旅中并没有那么幸运。与上文“lucky”相呼应,这里应是同义词表达“fortunate”,用在句中表达“JasonBoudreaux遭遇了尴尬,并没有那么幸运”。故选C项。2.C根据下文“putonhisdetectivehatandspendtimetrackingthemandown”提示可知,他之前是个侦探。3.D此处指Jason在商店停下来买了一些海鲜。分析可知,“stopat+某地”,固定短语,意为“停在某处”。4.B由于对存款支票不熟悉,Jason没有意识到这笔资金不会马上到位。根据下文“Jasondidn’trealizethatthefundswouldn’tbeavailablerightaway”可知,他对支票的使用方式不熟悉。故选B项。5.A此处指就在他在收银台前结账之前,他一直在和他后面的人聊天。“itis/wasone’sturn(todo)”,固定句型,意为“轮到某人做某事”。6.D此处与下文“talkedwith(与某人交谈)”相呼应,这里应是“chatting”。7.B根据下文“onasocialnetworkingwebsite”可知,他将自己和这位男士的照片发布到了社交网站。8.A结合常识可知,“thetouchingwords(感人的文字)”这些文字是与照片一起发布出来的。“ac
