r.B．Thereareevenmoretroublesatboarding.C．Passengersoftenfeelrelievedafterpassingsecurity.D．Passengerscanrelaxincomfortoncetheyareonboard.正确答案：B解析：短语语义题。根据文章第四段可知，在安检处，乘客们的大包小包排着长队，可是这还没完，登机后为了争夺有限的行李箱空间，乘客们之间更是互不相让，让登机过程拖延不少时间。因此，题目的“thefuncontinuesatboarding”应该是一句戏谑的反语，意思是“好戏还在后头”。因此B为正确答案。有时候，考生不能拘泥于词句的字面意思，而是要根据上下文读懂作者的弦外之音，话外之意。19．Whatisapredictableadvantagetotaxluggagefeesaccordingtothewriter?A．Tooffsetrisingfuelcosts.B．Tokeeptheairfaresfromrising.C．Todiscourageairlinesfromprofitingfromfees:D．Tostopoversizedbagsfrompassingthesecurity.正确答案：C解析：推断题。此题颇有难度。题目问，在作者看来，若是对行李费收税，可预测的结果是什么?根据文章，乘客之所以携带大量行李登机，症结在于航空公司对每件行李收费。若是对航空公司的收取的行李费上税，那么航空公司自然就不太热衷于赚乘客的行李费转而提高机票的价格了，那么其结果很可能就是乘客可以免费或少花钱托运行李，他们也就不大会携带那么多的行李登机了。因此C是正确答案。20．Whatisthewriter’sattitudetowardairlineindustry?A．CriticalB．SympatheticC．ApprovingD．Indifferent正确答案：A解析：观点态度题。通读全文可知作者对于航空行业现在收行李费的做法颇多微词，总体是持批评态度的。这题很容易错选B，但根据最后一段的第一句，“We’resympathetictotheairlineindustry’sneedtomakemoney，but…”，这里的but一词是强烈的转折，所以不能被这里的sympathetic一词所迷惑而误选B。观点态度题的答案一般不会是文中出现的原词，这点还请各位考生好好记住。LeadingscientistsaroundtheworldaremeetinginBritaintoconsideraproposalthatcouldeventuallyseeGreenwichMeanTimebecomeafootnoteinhistory.Formorethan120yeasGMThasbeentheinternationalstandardfortimekeeping,butitisnowunderthreatfromanewdefinitionoftimeitselfbasednotontherotationoftheEarth,butonatomicclocks.GMTisbasedonthepassageoftheSunoverthezeromeridianline(子午线)attheGreenwichObservatoryinsoutheastLondon,andbecametheworldstandardfortimeataconferenceinWashingtonin1884,FrancehadpromotedParisMeanTimeatthesameconference.In1972itwasreplacedinnamebyUniversalCoordinatedTime(UTC)butthatessentiallyremainedthesameasGMT,UTCisbasedonabout400atomicclocksatlaboratoriesaroundtheworldbutthencorrectedwith“leapseconds“(闰秒)toadjustitselfinlinewiththeEarth’srotationalspeed,whichfluctuates.ButthetinydifferencebetweenEarthspeedandatomicspeedhavebecomeaproblemforGPS,theglobalpositioningsystemsandmobilephonenetworksonwhichthemodernworldrelies.ThemeetinginLondonarelookingatthepossibleeffectsofabandoningtheleapsecondsandmovingfullytoatomictime.ThatwouldseeatomictimeslowlymoveapartfromGMT,byaboutoneminuteevery60to90years,orbyanhourevery600years,andtherewouldneedtobe”leapminutes“acoupleoftimesacenturytobringthetwoinline.BritishscienceministerDavidWillettshasopposedtheplanbysaying:“Weshouldsticktorealtimeasexperiencedbyhumans.WithoutleapsecondswewilllosecontactwiththerealityofEarth’srotation.Eventuallyourmidnightwouldhappenatnoon.“InJanuary,theInternationalTelecommunicationUnionwillmeetinGenevatovoteonwhethertoadoptthenewmeasure,despiteprotestsfromBritain.21．Leadingscientistsareconsideringreplacing______.正确答案：GMTwithatomictime解析：概括细节题。从第四段前二句可以概括出答案。22．WhatwillbevotedonatGenevameetinginJanuary?正确答案：Whethertoadoptthenewmeasure．解析：事实细节题。从文章末段不难找到答案。23．Whatisnewmeasureoftimekeepingbasedon?正确答案：Atomicclocks．解析：细节题，答案在第一段末句。24．Leapminutescanbeusedto______.正确答案：adjustatomicspeedinlinewithEarthspeed．解析：概括细节题。此题稍难，但可以从第二段末句找到并概括出答案。25．HowdidBritainreacttotheproposal?正确答案：Itopposed／protestedtheproposal．解析：细节题。从最后一段的“despiteprotestsfromBritain”可找到答案，只需按照要求将其变成一个完整的句子即可。Foodisfuel.Youneeditforenergy.Whenyoudon’teat,youloseenergy.It’sthatsimple.【R1】______Unfortunately,itisalmostimpossibletogetyourdailyrecommendednutrientsifyoudon’teat.Thedailynutrientsarevitaltothehealthyfunctioningofallpartsofyourbody.Andalthoughyoumaynotnoticewhenyourbodyisrunningwell,youcertainlywillnoticewhenitstartstobreakdown.Gooddailynutritionistheeasiestwaytoachievehealthandbestperformance.【R2】______Andthethingsyoucan’tsee,includingahealthyimmunesystem,aredirectlyrelatedtowhatyoueataswell.【R3】______Aswithallsuccessfulefforts,planningisthekey.Ifyoutypicallydon’thavetimeforlunch,brownbagitandnibblewhentimeallows.Energybars,fruit,evenasimplepeanutbutterandjellysandwichprovidesanadequatesupplyofnutrientstogetyouthroughtheafternoon.【R4】______Skippingmiddaymealsleadstounhealthybingeeating(大吃大喝)intheafternoonandatdinner.Skippingdinneroftenleadstoasimilarfatelateatnight,andsleepingonafullstomachhasitsownnegativeimpacts.【R5】______Chopherbs,onions,andvegetablesandkeeptheminyourfreezer.Preparesauces,andpre-portionmeats.Whenyou’rebusy,you’remorelikelytoeatifyouhavesomethingreadytogothanifyouhavetostartfromscratch(从零开始).Tomaintainahealthyeatingschedule,routineisthekey.Standardizedmenusmaysoundboring,buttheymakealotofsense,especiallyifhealthyeatingisyourgoal.A.Whenyoudocook,cookextra.B.Brainfunction,attentiveness,memory,andmoodsareallaffectedbynutrition.C.Yourbodyneedsaconstantflowofenergytorunsmoothly,andeatingregularlyiscrucialtothatend.D.Iftimeisyourproblem,planningisthekey.E.Ifyouenjoycooking,butareshortoftime,useyourdayofftopreparefoodsaheadoftime.F.Whenyouskipmeals,youaremorelikelytoovereatthewrongfoodsatthenextopportunity.G.Buttodaybusypeoplefindtheydonotalwayshavetimeformeals.26．【R1】正确答案：G解析：上文说“食物是燃料，我们需要吃来获取能量，如果不吃，就会失去能量。这道理说起来很简单。”紧接这几句最合乎逻辑的是具有转折意义的选项G，“可是如今，很多人太忙了以至于没时间吃饭。”考生需要注意，逻辑性和一致性往往是7选5题型的考查重点。27．【R2】正确答案：B解析：此题还是考查上下文的关键词的复现，空格处上句的nutrition在选项B中复现了。28．【R3】正确答案：C解析：选项C是对第二、三两段文字的总结。29．【R4】正确答案：F解析：此题后接的是两个例句，因此此处应选一个能概括两个例句的句子。不难看出这两个例子的关键词是“skippingmiddaymeals”和“skippingdinner”，都可以用“skippingmeals”来替代，因此F是正确选项。再次强调一下，概括例子的中心句，不管在前还是在后，一般是和例子如影随形的，这也是7选5中经常需要用到的解题思路。30．【R5】正确答案：E解析：下文的“Chopherbs，onions，andvegetablesandkeeptheminyourfreezer”(把香草、洋葱和蔬菜切好，放在冰柜里)和“Preparesauces，andpre-portionmeats．”(准备好酱料，预先把肉切成小份)都是为烹饪做准备，因此不难看出E是正确选项。这里还是考查用例子概括段落中心句的，解题思路和上一题大同小异。DaveneededtopackforSaturday’sfishingtrip.Hewentintohishallcloset,【R6】______hehadmorethan20rodsandreels.NowadayshewentfishingtwiceatearatBigBear,ahugelakeinsouthernCaliforniaabout7,000feet【R7】______inthemountains.Californiatriestopromotethefishingindustrybysponsoring(赞助)aFreeFishingDaytwiceayear,onceinJuneandonceinSeptember.ThatappealedtoDave.Hewentmostlybecauseitwasasocialevent【R8】______afewfriends,notso【R9】______tocatchfish.Evenbyitself,thescenicdriveupatwistytwo-laneroadwasworththetrip.Notto【R10】______thebig,beautifulhousesandtreesthat【R11】______theshoreofthelake.Packingwasaprojectinitself.Davehadevencreatedacomputerfile【R12】______FishingTrip.Itwasachecklistof45thingstotaketoBigBear.IfyougotoBigBearinJune,you’dbetterbe【R13】______forhotorcold,rainor【R14】______Hepackedacoupleofmagazinestoreadjustincasethefishweren’tbiting.Heandhisfriendsjokedthatthefishwerealwaysbiting—inthespotyoujustleft【R15】______thespotyouwereheadedto.A.linedB.tellC.namedD.whereE.onF.withG.knownH.preparedI.upJ.shineK.muchL.orM.unlessN.farO.mention31．【R6】正确答案：D解析：语法题。空格前后都是完整的单句，因此这里需要填一个连词，或者填一个关系副词或关系代词后与后面的“hehadmorethan20rodsandreels”构成一个定语从句。根据上下文可知这里是一个定语从句，可填where这个关系副词，整句话意为：他走进他的储物间，那里他存放着20多根带鱼线的钓竿。32．【R7】正确答案：I解析：此题考词的复现。下一段中“Evenbyitself，thescenicdriveupatwistytwo-laneroadwasworththetrip．”(沿着两车道的风景如画的山路盘旋上行就值得走这一程)这一句中的“up”(上行)一词呼应了27题，因此可知正确答案也是选“up”一词，强调该湖所在的高度而不是距离，因此不能选N的“far”一词。33．【R8】正确答案：F解析：此题考逻辑。Dave参加BigBear湖的钓鱼比赛主要是因为可以和一些朋友一起聚聚，因此此处填介词with，“asocialeventwithafewfriends”意为“能够和朋友们相聚的社交盛会”。34．【R9】正确答案：K解析：还是考逻辑，请结合上题来做。Dave只要能和朋友相聚就很高兴了，不是太在乎能否钓到鱼。“notsomuchtodosth．”的意思是“不是太在乎……”，因此K选项“much”符合题意。35．【R10】正确答案：O解析：此题考固定搭配。“nottomention”的意思是“更不用说……了”。结合上一句，这里意思是说，“光是去BigBear一路风景如画就很值得，更不消说湖畔的美丽的林子和房屋了”。36．【R11】正确答案：A解析：兼考语法和词汇。这里是一个定语从句，需要一个动词，“树林和房子沿着湖岸排列成行，非常美丽”，因此这里填“line”，用作动词，意为“沿……整齐排列”。37．【R12】正确答案：C解析：语法题。考查过去分词表示被动态的用法。这两句的意思是说，“整理行李”本身就是一件费事的事，Dave还专门为此用电脑创建了一个名叫“FishingTrip”的文件夹。38．【R13】正确答案：H解析：固定搭配题。“bepreparedfor”，“为……做好准备”。39．【R14】正确答案：J解析：逻辑题。既然前面的hotorcold构成一组对照，那么作为并列结构，和“rain”形成对照的自然就是shine了。40．【R15】正确答案：L解析：逻辑题。这里的“thespotyoujustleft”和“thespotyouwereheadedto”显然是并列关系，这里应该要填一个连词，合乎要求的只有“or”一词。整句话意思是说，“他和朋友们开玩笑说，其实鱼一直都在咬钩的，只不过是在你刚离开的地方或者你正要去的地方而已”。ClozeSandrahadnotbeentoLasVegasinmorethanayear.Shewas【C1】______HersisterJanicewascomi
