【点评】考查阅读理解，包含细节理解题，推理判断题，是一篇生活类阅读，注意先略读文章，掌握文章大意，再分析题干及选项，到文中找到相关内容并进行理解。16．考查细节理解。根据What'sDifferentThisYear部分中的"AndplantoshipgiftsatleasttwoweeksbeforeChristmasEve"至少在圣诞前夜的两周前把礼物寄出去；并根据常识可知，圣诞节前夜是12月24日，所以选择项B的12月9日时间最为接近。故选B。17．考查细节理解。根据OnlineSalesWillStartEarly部分中的"Thisyear,itmaybemorelikeCyberSeason,withonlinepromotionsandsalesstartingrightafterHalloween.Withconcernsaboutcrowds,retailerswilllikelysavealotoftheirinventoryforonlinesales."至今年可能更像网络季，网上促销和促销活动在万圣节后马上开始。出于对人群的担忧，零售商可能会节省大量库存用于网上销售。可知，万圣节过后，购物者就能看到商品的好价钱。故选D。18．考查推理判断。根据OutletsAreOnlineToo部分中的"Ifoneofyourholidayshoppingtraditionsisatriptotheoutlets,youcanstillexperiencethethrillofthebargainhunt—fromhome."如果你的假日购物习惯之一是去商店购物，你仍然可以在家里体验到买便宜货的刺激；以及WhentoShop部分中的"Oneupsideforshoppersisrock-bottompricesassomestoresliquidate(清仓)."对购物者来说，一个好处是随着一些商店清算，价格会降到最低。可推断，喜欢便宜货的人将对本文感兴趣。故选D。【答案】19．B20．A21．B22．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，研究表明，饥饿会影响人的决策，并介绍了这一研究开展的过程以及研究发现和意义。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和段落大意四个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。19．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"BenjaminVincentfromtheUniversityofDundee'sPsychologydepartmentandhisco-authorJordanSkyrnkatested50peopletwotimes:oncewhentheyfollowedtheirnormaleatingpatternsandoncewhentheydidnoteatanythingduringtheday."邓迪大学心理学系的BenjaminVincent和他的合著者Jordanskrnka对50人进行了两次测试：一次是在他们遵循正常的饮食模式时，另一次是在他们白天不吃任何东西时。可知，BenjaminVincent和JordanSkyrnka是通过比较进行他们的研究的。故选B。20．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的"Usingthreedifferenttypesofrewards(food,money,andsongdownloads),theteamdiscoveredwhenpresentedwiththechoiceofreceivingtherewardnowversusdoubletheawardatsomepointinthefuture,participantswouldusuallyvolunteertowaitfor35daystoearnalarger"研究小组使用三种不同类型的奖励（食物、金钱和歌曲下载）发现，当被要求选择现在获得奖励还是在未来某个时候获得双倍奖励时，参与者通常会自愿等待35天才能获得更大的奖励；以及"butwhentheywerehungry,theysaidtheywouldonlywaitthreedays."但当他们饿的时候，他们说他们只等三天。可推知划线词bounty意思是"奖金"。故选A。21．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"Wewantedtoknowwhetherbeinginastateofhungerhadaspecificeffectonhowyoumakedecisionsonlyrelatingtofoodorifithadbroadereffects,andthisresearchsuggestsdecision-makinggetsmorepresent-focusedwhenpeoplearehungry"我们想知道，在饥饿的状态下，是否会对你做出只与食物有关的决定产生特定的影响，还是会产生更广泛的影响。这项研究表明，当人们饥饿时，决策会更多地关注当下；以及"Hungerissocommonthatitisimportanttounderstandthenon-obviouswaysinwhichourpreferencesanddecisionsmaybeaffectedbyit"饥饿是如此普遍，所以了解我们的偏好和决定可能会以一种不明显的方式受到它的影响是很重要的。可推知，我们能从Vincent的研究中得出的结论是：在做重大决定之前一定要确定你不饿。故选B。22．考查段落大意。根据最后一段"InanearlierstudyofthesubjectbyateamatCambridgeUniversityinEngland,theresearchersnotedthatserotoninplaysamajorroleinthedecision-makingprocess.‘Sincetherawmaterialformakingserotonin—anaminoacidcalledtryptophan—onlycomesfromdiet,levelsofthechemicaldeclinebetweenmeals,"reportsapieceintheTelegraphaboutthestudy."Thiscanleadtoaggressivenessandimpulsiveness,‘saytheteam."在英国剑桥大学的一个研究小组对该课题的早期研究中，研究人员注意到血清素在决策过程中起着重要作用。《每日电讯报》关于这项研究的一篇文章称："由于制造血清素——一种叫做色氨酸的氨基酸——的原料只来自饮食，所以两餐之间这种化学物质的水平会下降。""这会导致攻击性和冲动，"团队成员说。可知，最后一段主要讲了在做决定的过程中，化学物质如何起作用。故选D。【答案】23．C24．A25．D26．A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一个在能够保护林地完好的同时仍能带来经济效益的项目。

【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和标题归纳三个题型的考查，是一篇环保类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。23．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Yetincreasingly,thereisanunderstandingthatit'sofgreatersignificancetokeeptreesstandingthancutthemdownforfinancialprofit."然而，人们越来越认识到，保持树木直立着比为了经济利益而砍伐树木更重要。可知，大家越发认为森林保护比经济效益更重要。故选C。24．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"Theprojectisthoughttohavegreatuniqueness.Intermsofrevenue,itcentersroundtheexistingnaturalland;theyieldswoodlandcanprovidebecomesideproducts."这个项目被认为具有很大的独特性。就收入而言，它以现有的自然土地为中心；林地可以提供的产物成为副产品。可知，这个项目的独特性在于它把林地本身作为中心产品。故选A。25．考查词义猜测。根据最后一段中的"Arichandbiodiversewoodlandcanbeanecosystemthatdrawsinpeoplelookingforabeautifulplacetostay."一片丰富而拥有生物多样的林地可以成为一个生态系统，吸引人们寻找美丽的住处。可知，这个项目之后还能使富含生物多样性的林地成为生态系统，这是更长远的影响；因此比前句提到的"Recreationalactivities,tours,andclasses"娱乐活动、旅游和课程，只是一个开端。故选D。26．考查标题归纳。根据第二段中的"Goodnewsisthatwecanexpectentirenaturalwoodlandisleftundamagedandstillprovidesarevenue(收益)stream."好消息是，我们可以预计整个天然林地完好无损，仍能提供收益来源。可知，本文通过旨在通过第一段的背景介绍，引出本句话所指出的好消息：保护好林地完好的同时带来经济效益。故选A。【答案】27．A28．A29．C30．D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明人们处于自然环境中可以减少医疗保健的费用。

【点评】考查阅读理解。本篇文章涉及细节理解题，推理判断题和主旨大意题三种题型。细节理解题要求考生能在快速阅读文章的同时，从中获取某些特定的直接信息或理解特定信息的意义。做细节理解题时，要根据题干中的关键词，找准相关句、段的内容，再仔细对照，不符合原文意义的选项要首先排除，反之，则是正确选项。做推理判断题时，要求考生不能凭主观臆断推测或妄加猜测，必须忠实于原文，以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据，使做出的推理合乎文意。需要注意：审清题目要求；锁定关键信息；挖掘隐含信息；排除干扰选项；把握语境情感；逻辑推理分析。做主旨大意题时，要求考生抓住每段或每个层次的主要含义进行加工、提炼，通过对语篇结构的分析即对文章内部各层次间的逻辑关系的分析，将每段的主题综合起来，找出文章的中心。27．推理判断题。根据文章第一段"It'snothardtobepoeticaboutthebroadanddeepbenefitsofspendingtimeinnaturalspaces,fromamazingnationalparkstothesimplelovelinessofawalkaroundacityparkortree-linedneighborhoodstreet,andsometimeworkinginthedirtofyourowngarden.(花时间在自然空间中带来的广泛而深刻的好处并不难，从令人惊叹的国家公园到在城市公园或绿树成荫的社区街道上简单的散步，再到在自己花园的泥土上工作的时间。)"可知，第一段主要讲述了待在自然空间有好处；而第二段"AnewstudyfromresearchersatClemsonUniversityhasfoundanotherbenefittosimplyputtingyourbodyinanaturalspace:itcanlowertheamountofmoneyyouspendonhealthcare.(克莱姆森大学的研究人员的一项新研究发现，将身体置于自然环境的另一个好处是：它可以降低你在医疗保健上的花费。)"则讲述了置身自然界的其他好处。由此可以判断，作者写第一段是为了引出本文的话题。故选A。28．推理判断题。根据文章第三段""Themechanismslinkingnatureandhealthareverydiverse,"saidMatthewH.E.M.Browning,theprincipali
