B．Smellthem.C．Observethem. D．Tastethem.答案：B解析：细微环节理解题。由Horsesarepickyeaters中的“theirnervoussystemallowsthemtosensesmellswecan'tsense.Thismightexplainwhytheyrefusedirtywaterandcarefullymovearoundmeadows,eatingonlythetastiestgrasses”可知，它们的神经系统会让它们感觉到我们人类感觉不到的气味。这或许可以说明为什么它们拒绝饮用脏水，在草地上当心翼翼地走动，只吃最美味的草。所以马是靠嗅觉来选择最美味的草的。故选B项。2．Whichanimalfeelsshywhenfacingstrangers?A．Thewhale. B．Thehorse.C．Thepanda. D．Thecat.答案：C解析：细微环节理解题。由Pandasliketobenaughty中的“Pandasareshybynatureforitsshybehaviorssuchascoveringitsfacewithapaworduckingitsheadwhenconfrontedbyastranger.”可知，熊猫天生羞涩，它们有羞涩的行为，比如在遇到生疏人时，用爪子遮住脸，低着头。所以熊猫遇到生疏人时会羞涩。故选C项。3．Whatdothewhaleandthecathaveincommonaccordingtothepassage?A．Theyhaveagratefulheart. B．Theyarequiteclever.C．Theyareactiveandlovely. D．Theyhaveagoodsenseofsmell.答案：A解析：推理推断题。由Whalesaysthanks中的“Afterward,inanhour­longdisplayofthanks,thewhaleswamneartheirboatandleapedintotheairabout40times.”和Acathonorsitsowner中的“...thegiftsthatToldo,adevotedthree­year­oldgray­and­whitecat,hasplacedonhisformerownerIozzelliRenzo'sgraveeverydaysincethemandiedinSeptember2011”可知，随后，在长达一个小时的感谢中，这头鲸鱼游到他们的船旁边，跃升到空中约40次。一只忠诚的三岁灰白色猫咪，自从2011年9月主子去世后，他每天都把这些礼物放在前主子IozzelliRenzo的坟墓前。所以通过对两种动物行为的描述可以推断出，鲸鱼和猫的共同特点是他们有一颗感恩的心。故选A项。BEverycountryhascertainculturalpatternsmakingitunique.Ofcourse,habitsandcustomsbetweenculturesandcountriestendtooverlap(重叠).Thepopularityofsocialmedia,forinstance,ignoresbordersandbreaksdownculturaldifferences.Technologyhasmadetheworldamuchsmallerandculturallysimilarplace.However,whenlookingataforeigncountry,wewillalwaysfinddifferencesbetweenourtraditionsandtheirs.YoungItaliansandyoungAmericans,forexample,thoughalikeinmanyrespects,havealsosomepronounceddifferences,especiallywhenitcomestowork,pastimesandsports.MostAmericanteenshavepart­timejobsthroughhighschoolandcollege.YouthsinItalytendnotto.Thereasonsbehindthisaremultifaceted.Itis,tobeginwith,ratherhardinItalytofindthetypeofpart­timejobsstudentsusuallytakeup.Moreover,thereisalsoadifferentculturalattitudetotakeintoconsideration,especiallywhenthinkingofcertainpartsofItaly.YoungItaliansliketoenjoylifetothefullandfeeltherewillbetimetoworkoncetheybecomeadults,hencethelackofinterestinfindingoddjobswhilestillinschool.Liketheoldsayinggoes,someItaliansworktolive,whilesomeAmericansoftenlivetowork.Inalotofways,youngItaliansandAmericansspendtheirfreetimeinasimilarfashion.Listeningtomusic,watchingmovies,hangingout,practicingsportsandsurfingtheInternetareallcommonwaystopasssomefreetime.Italians,especially,makeapointofgoingoutandbeingsocial,oftenchoosingbetweenpizzeriaorbirrerie(placeforpizzaorbeer),whichstayopenlate.Italiansoftenpileintoacoupleofcarsandgooutinabiggroup.Ingeneral,Americanteensparticipateinalotofextracurricular(课外的)activities,manyoftenthroughschool,whileItaliansmaynottakepartinsomany.Whengoingout,Italianteenstendtomeetandgatheronthestreetsoftheircitiesortowns,somethingnotascommonintheUnitedStates,especiallyinhighlypopulatedareas.ThisveryItalianhabitcanbelinkedtotheurbanarrangementofItaliantowns.Manyofthemdatebackthousandsofyearsandfeaturecentralpiazzas(广场)andareasbuiltaroundhistoricalsitesthathavenowbecomegatheringplacesfortheyoung.Ifyou'reinItaly,don'tbesurprisedbythesightofhundredsgatheredinapiazzaoronthestreet,laughinganddrinkingthenightaway.这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明白意大利年轻人和美国年轻人在对待工作、消遣方面的一些明显的差异。4．Thepassageismainlyabout________.A．theuniquelifestylessharedbyAmericanandItalianteensB．therelationshipbetweenyoungpeopleofAmericaandItalyC．somecustomsandhabitsoftheAmericansandItaliansD．somedifferencesintraditionbetweenyoungAmericansandItalians答案：D解析：主旨大意题。依据第一段最终一句YoungItaliansandyoungAmericans,forexample,thoughalikeinmanyrespects,havealsosomepronounceddifferences,especiallywhenitcomestowork,pastimesandsports.(例如，意大利年轻人和美国年轻人虽然在许多方面都很相像，但也有一些明显的差异，尤其是在工作、消遣和体育方面。)以及文章主要围围着美国和意大利年轻人的一些传统差异绽开，故选D。5．Bysaying“someItaliansworktolive,whilesomeAmericansoftenlivetowork”，theauthormostprobablywantstotellusthat________.A．ItalianshaveabetterlifeattitudetowardworkingB．AmericansaremorediligentandthusliveabetterlifeC．AmericansandItaliansbothfindithardtolocateasatisfyingjobD．ItaliansandAmericanshavedifferentchoicesregardingwork答案：D解析：推理推断题。依据上文Moreover,thereisalsoadifferentculturalattitudetotakeintoconsideration,especiallywhenthinkingofcertainpartsofItaly.YoungItaliansliketoenjoylifetothefullandfeeltherewillbetimetoworkoncetheybecomeadults,hencethelackofinterestinfindingoddjobswhilestillinschool.(此外，还有一种不同的文化看法须要考虑，尤其是考虑到意大利的某些地区。年轻的意大利人喜爱尽情享受生活，一旦他们长大成人，就会觉得有时间去工作，因此他们对在校期间找零工不感爱好。)可知，意大利年轻人是为了生活而去工作，而美国的年轻人工作是为了生活，作者想要通过这句话告知我们意大利人和美国人在工作上有不同的选择。故选D。6．AccordingtoParagraph3,whichofthefollowingstatementsistrue?A．AmericanteenspracticesportsandsurftheInternettopasstime.B．Italianyouthtakeanactivepartinextracurricularactivities.C．Americanteensliketodriveoutandsocialtogetherinbiggroups.D．Italianyouthenjoypizzaandbeerbecausetheyarecheap.答案：A解析：细微环节理解题。依据第三段中Inalotofways,youngItaliansandAmericansspendtheirfreetimeinasimilarfashion.Listeningtomusic,watchingmovies,hangingout,practicingsportsandsurfingtheInternetareallcommonwaystopasssomefreetime.(在许多方面，年轻的意大利人和美国人以相像的方式度过他们的空闲时间。听音乐、看电影、出去玩、熬炼身体和上网都是打发空闲时间的常见方式。)可知，美国青少年通过运动和上网来打发时间。故选A。7．Ifthereisonemoreparagraphinthispassage,whatwillitmostprobablybeabout?A．TheworkingconditionsoftheyoungAmericansandItalians.B．Thedifferencesinpracticingsportsbetweenteensofthetwonations.C．ThecentralpiazzasandareasbuiltaroundhistoricalsitesinItaly.D．TheurbanarrangementofthehighlypopulatedAmericancities.答案：B解析：推理推断题。依据文章第一段最终一句YoungItaliansandyoungAmericans,forexample,thoughalikeinmanyrespects,havealsosomepronounceddifferences,especiallywhenitcomestowork,pastimesandsports.(例如，意大利年轻人和美国年轻人虽然在许多方面都很相像，但也有一些明显的差异，尤其是在工作、消遣和体育方面。)可知，作者想要说明意大利年轻人和美国年轻人在工作、消遣和体育方面的差异，依据其次段内容可知主要谈论了工作方面的差异，第三、四段谈论了消遣方面，因此接下来会谈到体育方面的差异。故假如这篇文章中还有一段话，最有可能是关于两国青少年在运动方面的差异。故选B。eq\a\vs4\al(Ⅱ.七选五)Tohelpyouunderstandwhat5Gis,andwhatitmeanstoyou,we'veputtogetherahandyguidehere.Whatis5G?__1__Atitsmostbasiclevel,5Gwillbeusedtomakecalls,sendtexts,andtosimplygetonline.Butit'sgoingtobesignificantlyfasterthanpreviousgenerations,andcouldopenthedooruptoarangeofexcitingnewuses.__2__5Gwillusenewhigherradiofrequenciestosendoutdata,whicharelesscluttered(挤满的)andcarryinformationmuchfaster.Whilethesehigherbandsarefaster,theydon'tcarryinformationasfar.That'stosay,smallermultipleinputandoutputantennas(天线)willbeused—promotingbothsignalsandcapacity(容量).__3__Whyisitbetterthan4G?5Gisexpectedtobefasterthan4G,withsomefirmsclaimingitcouldbeasmuchas100timesquicker.Thefastest4Gnetworkscandeliverpeakdownloadspeedsofaround300Mbit/s.__4__Inreallife,thiscouldallowyoutodownloadafullHDfilminlessthan10seconds!__5__Itmeanstherewillbeverylittle—ifany—delaywhenyoucarryouttasksonadevice.Whilethiswillhelpimprovethingslikegamingexperiences,itcouldalsopavethewayforsaferself­drivingcars—inwhichevenashortdelaycouldbelife­saving.Finally,5Gwillhavealargercapacity,meaningnetworkswillbeabletodealwithseveralappsatonce.Generally,thisshouldmeanthatdeviceshaveafaster,morestableconnection.A．Howdoes5Gwork?B．Howwill5Gaffectyou?C．5Gisalsoexpectedtohavealowerlatency.D．5Gisshortfor“5thgenerationmobilenetwork”．E．Incomparison,5Gcouldofferdownloadspeedsofover1Gb/s.F．Therefore,thesimilaritybetween5Gand4Gtechnologyishuge.G．Thismeans5Gwillsupportupto1,000moredevicespermeterthan4G.这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了关于5G的相关信息。1．D解析：由“Whatis5G？”可知，5G是什么。所以小题1要说明5G的概念。故D选项“5G是‘第五代移动网络’的缩写”切题。故选D项。2．A解析：由后文“5Gwillusenewhigherradiofrequenciestosendoutdata,whicharelesscluttered(挤满的)andcarryinformationmuchfaster.”可知，5G将运用新的更高的无线电频率来发送数据，这些数据传送得更顺畅，传输的速度更快。所以本段主要在说明5G的工作原理也就是小题2本段的标题所要说明的内容。故A选项“5G是如何工作的？”切题。故选A项。3．G解析：由前文“That'stosay,smallermultipleinputandoutputantennas(天线)willbeused—promotingbothsignalsandcapacity(容量)．”可知，也就是说，更小的多输入和输出天线将被应用——提升信号质量和容量。所以小题3要承接上文详细说明这种天线所带来的优势。故G选项“这意味着5G每米将比4G多支持1000个设备”切题。故选G项。4．E解析：由“Thefastest4Gnetworkscandeliverpeakdownloadspeedsofaround300Mbit/s.”可知，最快的4G网络可以供应大约300Mbit/s的峰值下载速度。所以小题4要与4G网络的速度对比来说明5G网络的速度。故E选项“相比之下，5G可以供应超过1Gb/s的下载速度”切题。故选E项。5．C解析：由后文“Itmeanstherewillbeverylittle—ifany—delaywhenyoucarryouttasksonadevice.”可知，这意味着当你在设备上执行任务时，即使有延迟，也会特别少。所以小题5与后一句为说明说明关系，来说明5G有较低的延迟性，也是本段的主题句。故C选项“5G预料也会有较低的延迟性”切题。故选C项。eq\a\vs4\al(Ⅲ.概要写作)阅读下面短文，依据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。Childraisingisprobablyoneofthemostdifficultjobsforpeopletodoallovertheworld.Sincebabiesdonotcomewithchildraisingmanuals(指南),couples,especiallyfuturemothers,havetolearnfromtheirmothers,aunts,mothers­in­law,oranyotherrelativewhoisclosetothem.Aschildrengrowup,parentshavetofindreasonablewaysinordertohelptheirchildren,advisethem,punishthem,leadthemtoachievements,andteachthem.Sometimeschildrenundertenmaybehaveinappropriately.Forexample,theylearntosayoffensivewordsandtheyshownorespecttotheirrelatives.Ithinkparentsinthesecasesshouldpunishtheirchildreninareasonableway.Childrenmustknowthosekindsofattitudesarenotgoodatall.Therearemanyaspectswhichinfluenceparentsinthishardjob,forexample,thecultureinwhichtheyli
