3.A.Ofcourse B.Atlast C.Aboveall D.Inturn5.A.pickup B.lookafter C.seeoff D.glanceat语篇解读:这是一篇亲情故事,在故事里,作者原本是一位对女儿非常严厉的妈妈,对她的各种要求都是严词拒绝。但有一天,她尝试改变,实行了一个周计划——保证一周中不说no,只说yes。最终的结果却是惊人的。答案及剖析:1.B根据下文知,刚开始我觉得“拒绝”是正常现象,绝对没有任何问题。2.B根据下文可推知我女儿是不知道真相的,所以是我偷偷地搞了一个实验,选secret。3.A虽然我会满足孩子提出的任何要求,但我还是制定了一些规则,此处Ofcourse表示“理所当然地”。4.D但是我说no的习惯(habit)其实早就深深扎根于我的脑海中。5.A根据语境知,我去接我6岁的女儿,故选pickup表示“接某人”。6.C根据上下文知,我女儿请求买个冰激凌,所以选askfor表示“要求某物”。7.D我本来肯定是不假思索地就会表示拒绝,此处withoutthinking表示“想都不想就会……”。8.D但当我想到我这一周是“Yes周”之后,我就同意给我女儿买个冰激凌了。9.A根据下文sheaskedifshecould...可知,我女儿一定感觉到了些什么,所以选something。10.A根据上下文知,虽然我答应她可以看电视,但我把时间限制在了1集的时间,此处limit...to...也是固定词组,表示“把……限制在……范围之内”。11.D根据上文知,既然已经约定,所以我女儿看完一集后,也是没有怨言地就把电视关了。plaint表示“抱怨、怨言”。12.A根据语境和常识知,看电视和吃冰激凌在这一周中进行,很明显,这些就是我女儿所想要的。所以选apparently表示“明显地”。13.B根据下文知,女儿睡觉前提出来要去海边,第二天我们马上就行动起来了。14.B根据上文absurd可知,我女儿在这一周中并没有做出荒谬和极端的事情来。15.C根据整个故事知,这次“Yes周”给了我们很好的机会让我们母女的关系更加紧密。能力提升题组训练(B)Ⅰ.阅读A“Howarethingsbackattheoffice?”oneofthegentlemeninmybicycletourgroupaskedmeaswewerenearingtheendofanotherlengthyridethroughCroatia’ssceniccountryside.“Iassumetheyaregoingfine,”Isaid.“Ihaven’thadanycontactandIdon’tplanto.”“Yourphoneisn’ton?”heasked,incredulously.“Youhaven’tcheckedyouremail?”“Myphoneisoffandno,I’mnotplanningoncheckingemail,”Isaid.MywifeHeidiandItookourchildren,DanielandRachel,onatwoweektriptoCroatia,oneofthemostbeautifulcountriesintheworld.Wemadethechoicetospendsomeofourmoneyonthiswonderfulexperiencesowecouldspendtimebondingwitheachotherandthekids.WhywouldIdestroytheenvironmentwehadtraveledthousandsofmilestocreatebybringingmyworkenvironmentintoit?ThatwouldbecounterproductivetoeverythingIwantedoutofthistrip.IfIhadworkedduringthisexperience,Iwouldhavetakentimeawayfrommyfamilyandsentthemthemessagethatworktakespriorityoverthem.Inadditiontosharingthisincredibleexperience,Iwantedtotakeusalloutoftheactivitydrivenworldwelivein.IfIhadhadmycellphoneonandbeenconstantlysearchingoutawirelessconnectiontokeepupwiththeoffice,Iwouldjusthavebroughtthathyperconnectedenvironmentintothepeaceful,meaningfulworldIwastryingtocreate.Inadditiontocreatinglifelongmemorieswithmyfamily,anotherwonderfulthinghappenedasaresultofthisbiketrip.Aswewerereturninghome,Iwasfloodedwithnewideas.IcameupwithconceptsfornineblogpostsandseveralideasthatIwantedtoincorporateintomybusiness.Takingtimeoffrestoredandrejuvenatedmeandallowedmycreativespirittoreallyetothesurface.Howcanyouacplishthatgoalifyousimplymovethesourceofthatstresstoadifferentlocation?1.Fromtheconversationatthebeginningofthetext,wecaninferthat.

A.gotoneexhausted B.droveonemadC.causedonetolosetemper D.madeonemoreenergetic语篇解读:作者去克罗地亚旅游时完全放下了手头的工作,尽情地游玩并且他还产生了很多新的灵感。答案及剖析:1.C推理判断题。在文章开头的对话中,作者说他把关机,并且没有查看电子邮件。再结合下文内容可知,他这样做是为了更好地和家人一起旅游,由此可以推断出,他不开是因为不想被打扰。2.A细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Wemadethechoicetospendsomeofourmoneyonthiswonderfulexperiencesowecouldspendtimebondingwitheachotherandthekids.”可知,作者是想借此机会增进与家人之间的感情。3.C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Aswewerereturninghome,Iwasfloodedwithnewideas.IcameupwithconceptsfornineblogpostsandseveralideasthatIwantedtoincorporateintomybusiness.”可知,作者在旅游结束回家以后有了很多新的想法,而且他还想把这些想法运用到工作中去。4.D词义猜测题。本句中的“restored”与画线词“rejuvenated”理应意义接近,结合下文中的“allowedmycreativespirittoreallyetothesurface”可知,休息之后,作者有了更多具有创造性的想法。由此可推知,休息使人精力更加充沛。B(2019高三双语报28期)America’struckingindustryemploysroughly3.5millionpeople,carries10.6billiontonsofgoodsbackandforthacrossthecountryperyear,andbringsin$738.9billionintaxesannually.Itis,insomeway,alogisticalwonder.ThoughAmerica’struckingindustrymayonedaybereplacedbynewtrains,orgianttruckspilotedbyAIsystems,fornowweneedtodealwiththesystemwehave,insteadofdaydreamingaboutanewone.TruckdrivingusedtobeadesirableprofessionforAmericans,butalmostnoonewantstobeatruckdriveranymore.Theindustryisalreadyshortof50,000tractortrailerdrivers,andthatnumbercouldexpandto174,000by2026.Thesolutionissimple:raisingdrivers’wages.Truckdrivingisgenerallyconsideredahighqualitybluecollarjob.Averagepayfortruckersisonlyaround$42,000.That’smorethan$10,000belowtheaveragehouseholdineinAmerica.Bearinmindtoo,thattheeconomicallyessentialfunctionservedbythetruckingindustrycreatesaverytoughqualityoflifefortruckersthemselves.Beingcrashedbehindthewheelsofatruckfor10hoursatatimecausesillness.Beingfarawayfromhomefordaysorweeksattimescausesallsortsofpersonalissues.Therefore,driversreallydeservetobepaidmore.Thegoodnewsisthatlastweek’sjobsreportdidshowanincreaseinwages.Intruckingspecially,pensationfinallyjumped10to12percentoverthelastyear.It’snotenough,butit’sastepintherightdirection.AndtoencouragetheAmericantruckingindustry,thereareregulationstoo.Afederalrulefrom2004limitstruckerstodriving11hoursinany14hourperiod.Ofcourse,thisrulewasputinplacetomaketruckdrivingamorehumane,andlessdemandingindustry.Butitalsoloweredtheamountofdrivinganytruckercoulddo,increasingthenumberofdriversneededtocoverthesamenumberofroutes.Anditcouldn’tavoidthelonghoursontheroad,lonelynightsinhotels,andetc.Theeffectivewaytofixtheproblemisobvious:Ifyourindustrycan’tfindenoughworkers,youneedtopaythemmore.5.WhatdothefiguresinParagraph1show?A.TheconvenienceoftruckinginAmerica.B.ThequickdevelopmentofAmerica’struckingindustry.C.ThebigburdenonAmerica’struckingindustry.D.ThesignificanceoftruckingindustryforAmerica.6.Whichofthefollowingarethecausesoffewertruckdriversaccordingtothepassage?①sufferingfromhealthissuescausedbydriving②havingasmallsalary③havingalowqualitybluecollarjob④workingoutsideforlong⑤lackingrespectfromothersA.①②③ B.②③④ C.①②④ D.②④⑤7.Whatcanweknowaboutthefederalrulefrom2004?A.Itaimedatpromotingtheefficiencyoftruckdrivers.

答案及剖析:1.who考查定语从句。在冬至这一天,许多中国人吃饺子是一种常见的民俗,尤其是那些住在北方的人。设空处引导定语从句,先行词为those,指人,故填who。先行词those指人时,关系词不能用that。2.if/when考查状语从句。在这个时期,适量食用一些如花生、核桃和栗子等坚果的话对身体有好处。该句已有主干结构“somenutssuchaspeanuts,walnuts,andchestnutsaregoodforone’sbody”,故此处填连词。根据语境可知,此处表示条件或时间,空后省略了主语somenuts和系动词are,故应填if或when。3.are考查时态和主谓一致。江苏省苏州市
