Ⅳ.应用文写作假定你是校学生会负责人李华,来自新西兰友好学校的师生代表将体验你校下周举办的中国传统文化周活动,请你结合图示用英语写一篇欢迎辞。留意:1.写作词数应为80左右;2.请在相应位置作答。Dearteachersandfellowstudents,_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________答案：Ⅰ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。作者阐述了争辩的意义和赢得争辩的方法。1.A推理推断题。依据第一段中“Thisdistasteforargumentsiscommon,butitdependsonamistakenviewofargumentsthatcausesproblemsforourpersonalandsociallives—andinmanywaysmissesthepointofarguinginthefirstplace.”可知,作者对于Carnegie对争辩的看法持批判看法。故选A项。2.B微小环节理解题。依据其次段中“Likephysicalfights,verbalfightscanleavebothsidesbloodied.Evenwhenyouwin,youendupnobetteroff.Youwouldbefeelingalmostasbadifargumentswereevenjustcompetitions—like,say,tennistournaments.”可知,很多人尽量避开争辩,是因为即使赢了他们也感觉很糟糕。故选B项。3.B词义揣测题。依据画线短语所在句“askthemtogiveyouareasonfortheirview”可知,让他们为自己的观点供应依据,即让他们充分阐明他们的观点,spellout意为“说明明白,讲清晰”。故选B项。4.D微小环节理解题。依据最终一段中“Ifwereadjustourviewofarguments—fromaverbalfightortennisgametoareasonedexchangethroughwhichweallgainrespectandunderstandingfromeachother—thenwechangetheverynatureofwhatitmeansto‘win’anargument.”可知,作者认为“赢得”争辩的关键是通过沟通获得彼此的敬重和理解。故选D项。【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)特别搞笑、令人心碎的小说《一个叫欧维的男人确定去死》的瑞典电影的评价。5.D微小环节理解题。依据第一段中的“Towardtheendofthatfilm,whichwasbeautifullywrittenanddirectedbyHannesHolm”可知,这部电影是汉内斯·霍姆(HannesHolm)写的。6.C微小环节理解题。依据最终一段中的“Inthatmoment,Ovehasstartedtofindhisnewpurposejustbyallowingothersbackintohislifeandcaringforthem.”可知,欧维已经让他自己融入社会中。7.C主旨大意题。依据第四段可知,这一段主要讲解并描述欧维的很多惊异行为的缘由。8.B推理推断题。依据第一段和其次段可知,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好玩的事情。1.E依据上文可知,探讨发觉左撇子更独立,阅读下文可知接下来文章主要讲的是左撇子的一些好玩的事情,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依据本段标题“Morelikelytohaveallergiesandsleepdisorders”可知,本段主要讲的是左撇子更简洁过敏和有睡眠障碍。依据空前“Astudyfoundthatleft-handedpeoplewere11timesmorelikelytosufferfromallergiesthanright-handedfolk.”可知,此处讲的是左撇子更简洁患过敏症,所以可以推断接下来应当讲的是睡眠障碍问题。G项“Andleftiesweretwoandahalftimesmorelikelytosufferfromsleepdisorders.”指出了左撇子更简洁患有睡眠障碍,符合上下文语境。3.C依据本段小标题“Left-handedpeopleusetherightsideofthebrainthemost”可知,本段主要讲的是左撇子更多地运用右脑。依据空后“meaningthattherightsidecontrolstheleftsideofthebodyandtheotherwayaround”可知此处是在对左右脑的交叉限制这一事实进行说明,所以空处应当指出大脑是交叉限制的这一事实。C项“Asweknow,thebrainiscross-wired,”符合上下文语境。4.D依据本段小标题“Areleft-handedpeoplesmarter?”可知,本段主要围围着左撇子是不是更聪慧来绽开。依据空后内容可知,关于左撇子的智商问题,不同日期的探讨结果是不一样的。空处位于段首,应是对全段的概括,所以空处应当讲关于左撇子是不是更聪慧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依据本部分内容可知,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,所以空处应当讲的是左撇子的另外一个好玩的事实——更擅长把问题看作一个整体来解决。A项“Betteratmultitasking”指出左撇子擅特长理多项任务,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.which考查关系代词。句中先行词为stoneli
