Unit2ImprovingyourselfⅠ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。薰衣草在古时候就被人们用来治疗疾病。新的探讨表明薰衣草可以被用来治疗人们的焦虑。1.A细微环节理解题。依据第一段中“...lavenderisusedasatraditionalorcomplementaryremedyforrelaxation,toreduceanxiety,anddepression,aswellasfordiseasessuchasstomachupsetandheadaches.”故从第一段中我们可以得知,薰衣草可以帮助解决心理健康问题。故选A项。2.D主旨大意题。依据其次段“Noscientificstudieshavespecificallyexaminedthebenefitsoflavenderuseforsocialanxietydisorder.Ina2000study...A2012studyalso...socialanxietydisorder.”可知,本段主要介绍了薰衣草对社交焦虑症的好处的两项探讨。故选D项。3.B推理推断题。依据第三段中“Lavenderisusuallyusedintheformofanessentialoilaspartofaromatherapy...Driedlavendercanalsobeusedtomakeateaorliquidextract.Lavendermayalsobetakeninpillform.”可知,本段主要排列了用薰衣草治疗社交焦虑症的方法。故本段采纳了“排列”的方法绽开论述。4.A细微环节理解题。依据最终一段中“Lavendertakenbymouthhasthepotentialtoincreasetheriskofbleeding.Ifyousufferfromableedingdisorderoraretakingmedicinethatmayincreasebleeding,usecautionwhentakinglavender.”可知,服用薰衣草可能会加重出血。【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲解并描述了Deveza用自己的一半肝脏交换别人的肾脏给自己的妈妈,并取得了胜利。这一胜利的案例具有主动的影响。5.D细微环节理解题。依据文章其次段的“Devezacameupwithadifferentplan.In2017,shestartedtheworld’sfirstpairedexchangeofdifferentorgansbetweenlivingdonors,exchanginghalfherliverforsomeoneelse’skidney.”可知,Deveza为了帮助妈妈移植合适的肾脏,用自己的一半肝脏作为交换。6.C段落大意题。结合第三段的“...thereareneverenoughorgans”“peoplewithkidneyfailureareincreasinglyreceivingdonatedorgansfromrelativesorfriends”和“doctorsmaybeabletofindpairsofwould-bedonorswhocaneachgiveakidneytotheother’srelative”可知,该段主要讲解并描述了器官移植的现状。7.D推理推断题。依据文章尾段内容可知,她们两个的“器官互换”的胜利可以对其他人产生激励作用,从而使干脆交换器官的案例增加。由此可推知,这产生了令人满足的结果。8.A主旨大意题。通过阅读文章可知,文章其次段中的“In2017,shestartedtheworld’sfirstpairedexchangeofdifferentorgansbetweenlivingdonors,exchanginghalfherliverforsomeoneelse’skidney.”为核心话题——文章主要讲解并描述了Deveza用自己的一半肝脏交换别人的肾脏给自己的妈妈,并取得了胜利,下文则以此为延长讲解并描述了其可能产生的主动影响。因此,选项A“MyLiver,YourKidney”不仅贴合主旨,且作为标题更具有吸引力。Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲解并描述了作者在泰国参与一个健康营地时突发疾病,呼吸困难,但在一些乐于助人的生疏人的帮助下作者被送往医院,并很快复原健康。假如没有他们,不知道事情会怎样。1.A依据上文“Afterdoing2.5hoursofkickboxing,Ibegantocough.”可知,作者运动后咳嗽起来,即有了不适的感觉。2.C依据上文“Ibegantocough”和“Butoverthenextfewhours”可知,几个小时后,作者甚至出现了呼吸困难。3.B结合常识可知,人在呼吸困难时,心跳会加快。4.D依据上文“Istartedstrugglingtobreatheandmyheartbeganto.”可知,作者当时的状态特别不好,所以应是拖着自己的身体到前台。

5.A依据上文“askedwhatwaswrong”可知,作者向女士说明自己的状况。6.B依据下文“Shewasonthephonewithin10seconds”可知,女士的效率很高,立刻就打电话让人送作者去医院。7.C依据“acartogetmetoahospital”并结合作者呼吸困难的状况可知,此处指女士要求一辆车送作者去医院。8.A依据“AnotherThaiwomancameandtalkedtomeforafewminutes”推知,另一位女士过来的目的是向作者保证作者会没事的。9.D依据“Iwastakentoadoctor’soffice”可知,在女士的帮助下,作者最终到达医院,这是不幸中的万幸,因此
