D.Theapplicationofsmartwatchesinhealthcare.【答案】4.A5.C6.D7.D【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了主人公Green通过智能手表的预警发现了自己的健康问题，并说明智能手表在预警人们健康问题中起到重要作用。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Hetookabreakfromworktowalkaroundtheblockduringastressfulday,andnoticedhefeltoutofbreathwalkingupaslightslope."Thisisn'tnormal,”Greenthought.”（在紧张的一天中，他休息了一下，绕着街区走了一圈。他注意到，在走上一个小斜坡时，他感到上气不接下气。“这不正常，”格林想。）可知，Green感到异常是因为自己呼吸困难。故选A。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Still,thesymptoms（症状）thistimeweremuchlessserious,andhewasfeelingstressed,sohisminddidn'tautomaticallyjumptobloodclots.Green'sdoctortoldhimitsoundedlikeanxiety.”（不过，这一次的症状没那么严重，他感到压力很大，他不认为是血栓。格林的医生告诉他，这听起来像是焦虑造成的。）和文章第五段“ThedoctororderedaCTscan.Thebloodclotsinhisleftlunghadreturned.”（医生要求做一次CT扫描。他左肺的血栓又出现了。）可知，CTscan证实了这个问题。故选C。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第五段“ThedoctororderedaCTscan.Thebloodclotsinhisleftlunghadreturned.”（医生要求做一次CT扫描。他左肺的血栓又出现了。）可知，导致这次症状的原因还是之前的血栓问题。故选D。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Presently,smartwatchesfromAppletoFitbitandotherscantellyouyourheartrateandtrackyourworkouts.”（目前，苹果、Fitbit等智能手表都能告诉你你的心率，并跟踪你的锻炼情况。）和“Butthesepanieswanttogobeyondthebasicsbydevelopingwaystotellyouwhensomethingiswrong.Infact,it'salreadyhappening.”（但这些公司想要超越它基本的用途，想办法告诉你什么地方出了问题。事实上，一切都在进行着。）可知，除了基本用途之外，智能手表公司还想开发其他有关身体健康的应用，所以接下来应讲智能手表在医疗保健中的应用。故选D。CThegreat18thcenturyauthorMontesquieuonceputit,“Ihaveneverknownanystressthatanhour’sreadingdoesnotreduce."Andnowmanyargueforareturntothisviewofliteratureastherapy,evenusingtheword“bibliotherapy"（阅读疗法）todescribeit.Sowhatdoesliteratureprovide,beyondentertainment?Itcanactasaguide.ThosewhoshowgreatrespectforShakespeare,MiltonorProustshouldkeepinmindthateventhemostfamousauthorwasstillahumanbeing.Inotherwords,greatwritershavebeenthroughthesamethingsasyou.Likeyou,theyfoundthemselvesinthisstrangeworldandtheytriedtomakesenseofit.Andthisiswhatmostliteratureconsistsof:peopletryingtomakesenseoftheworld.Nomatterwhatyourfearsorconcernsmaybe,chancesaresomegreatwriterhaswrittenaboutthem.Beforeseeking（寻求）suggestions,citherfromaprofessionalorawellreadfriend,beclearaboutwhatistroublingyou.Forexample,let'ssayyouwereraisedinareligious（信仰宗教的）familybutnow,inlaterlife,havelostyourfaith（信仰）.Thisispainfultoyouandyoufeelemptyandalone.Countlesswritershavegonedownthispathbeforeyouandhavefoundawayout—theGermanpoetandnovelistHermannHesse,forexample,wrotethewonderfullittlenovelSiddarthaaboutthissearchforspiritualpeace.Itwouldalsohelptoconsideryourparticularlifestage.Someonefromapoorbackgroundabouttosetoffforagreatcollegewillwantadifferentsetofreadingfromaretiredwomanwhosehusbandhasdied.Totakeanotherexample,let'simagineyouhadachildhoodofabuse（虐待）.Foryearsyouhavesufferedfromdepression.Inthatcase,youcouldtryEdwardStAubyn'sThePatrickMelroseNovels.StAubyn'sfatherabusedhim,whilehismotherescapedintodrink,butAubynwroteaseriesofsplendidnovelsbasedonhislife,chartingaman'sjourneythroughthehardsituationofabuseandouttheotherend.8.WhydoestheauthorquoteMontesquieu?A.Tostresstheeffectofbibliotherapy.

【16题详解】结合上文“Manyofusspentourchildhoodsdreamingofbeingastronauts.However,thehardrealityisthatonlyaselectfewwillmakeit.(我们许多人童年时都梦想着成为宇航员。然而，残酷的现实是，只有少数人能成功。)”可知每个人小时候都有梦想成为宇航员，但能实现梦想的人很少，结合下文“Notnecessarily(不必要)”可知是对前文问题的回答，A项内容“但这是否意味着你永远没有机会在太空工作。”能够承上启下，符合语境，故选A项。

【17题详解】结合下文“Aspacecraftisoflimitedsizeandrelativelyhightemperature,whichmakessmellsstrongerinsideofit.(航天器体积有限，温度较高，这使得航天器内部的气味更加浓烈。)”可知此处与气味有关，E项内容“在工作中运用你的鼻子可能听起来有点奇怪，但实际上这项工作是非常重要的。”，Usingyournose与smell对应，符合语境，故选E项。

【18题详解】结合上文中“Butnow,manyprivatepaniesarestartingtoprovidespacetrips,andwealthyspaceenthusiastssuchasJustinBieberandSarahBrightmanhavealreadysignedupfortours.(但是现在，许多私人公司开始提供太空旅行，像贾斯汀·比伯和莎拉·布莱曼这样富有的太空爱好者已经签约参加旅行。)”可知，选项在说明许多私人公司开始提供太空旅行所带来的影响，F项内容“用不了多久，太空会成为人类首选的目的地之一”，承接上文，spacetrips对应traveldestinations。符合语境，故选F项。

【19题详解】结合上文“Beingaspacetourguiderequiresrichknowledgeofastronomy,astrophysics,geographyandhistorytohelppassengersgetthemostoutoftheirjourney.(作为一名太空导游，需要具备丰富的天文、天体物理、地理和历史知识，才能帮助乘客充分享受旅程。)”可知本段与太空导游需要具备的职业素质有关。G项内容“导游还需要能够讲好故事，能够帮助人们体验太空旅行的奇妙之处”承接上文，符合语境，Tourguides对应Beingaspacetourguide。故选G项。

20题详解】根据前一句“We'recrossingtheboundaries（界限）betweensciencefictionandreality.(我们正在跨越科幻小说和现实的界限。)”可知，空间旅行会给人们带来很多的职业发展机会。D项内容“我们过去在电影看到的东西正在成为真正的职业发展机会”，承接上文，crossingtheboundaries对应realcareeropportunities。符合语境，故选D项。
