B.Haveagoodwordforone’sfriend.C.Putoneselfinother’sshoes. D.Afriendinneedisafriendindeed.【答案】4.B5.A6.D7.C【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者一次看牙的经历，通过这次经历，作者领悟到生活中应该学会换位思考，为别人着想。【4题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Themorninghadbeenadisaster.Mytoothwasaching,andI’dbeeninanargumentwithafriend.”（那天早上真是一场灾难。我的牙齿很痛，而且我和一个朋友吵架了。）可知，那天早晨对作者来说是一场灾难，因为他的牙痛并且和朋友吵架了，由此可推断出，作者那天早上感觉不开心。故选B项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“ButsuddenlyIbegantodoubtaboutthedentist.Whatkindofdentistwouldbesoeagertotreatsomeoneatsuchshortnotice?Whywasn’theasbusyastheothers?”（但突然我开始怀疑牙医。什么样的牙医会如此渴望在没有事先预约的情况下去治疗一个人？他为什么不像其他人那么忙？）可知，作者开始怀疑牙医是因为他突然想到，为什么这个牙医会如此渴望在没有事先预约的情况下去治疗一个人？为什么他不像其他牙医那么忙？由此可知，是“牙医同意在没有事先预约的情况下给她治疗”这件事使作者开始怀疑牙医。故选A项。【6题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段关键句“Thechairwentback,suddenlyIsmiled.Therewasabeautifulpicture,rightwhereIcouldenjoyitontheceiling.Howconsideratethedentistwas!”（椅子往后退，我突然笑了。天花板上有一幅美丽的图画，我可以欣赏它。牙医真体贴！）可知，作者突然笑了是因为她看到天花板上有一幅美丽的图画，当她躺在椅子上等待治疗时可以欣赏这幅画，由此可知，作者突然笑了是因为她看到天花板上有一幅画。故选D项。【7题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段关键句“Herwordsstillhurt:“Thetroublewithyouisthatyouwon’tputyourselfinmyplace.Can’tyouseethingsfrommypointofview?””（她的话仍然很伤人：“你的问题是你不愿意把自己放在我的位置上。你就不能从我的角度看问题吗？”）可知，作者的朋友和她争吵是因为她认为作者不会站在别人的角度看问题。再根据倒数第二段关键句“Atthatmoment,Ibegantounderstandwhatmyfriendmeantbyherwords.”（在那一刻，我开始明白我朋友的话是什么意思。）可知，通过看牙的经历作者明白，他认为牙医不可靠，但实际并非如此，牙医贴心的在天花板上放了美丽的图画供病人欣赏，只是作者没有站在牙医的角度看问题而已，由此可知，作者最有可能从这次经历中学到，生活中应该学会换位思考，为别人着想。故选C项。CThemeaningofsilencevariesamongculturalgroups.Silencesmaybethoughtful,ortheymaybeemptywhenapersonhasnothingtosay.Asilenceinaconversationmayalsoshowstubbornness,uneasiness,orworry.Silencemaybeviewedbysomeculturalgroupsasextremelyuncomfortable;thereforeattemptsmaybemadetofilleverygap(间隙)withconversation.Personsinotherculturalgroupsvaluesilenceandviewitasnecessaryforunderstandingaperson'sneeds.ManyNativeAmericansvaluesilenceandfeelitisabasicpartofcommunicatingamongpeople,justassometraditionalChineseandThaipersonsdo.Therefore,whenapersonfromoneoftheseculturesisspeakingandsuddenlystops,whatmaybeimplied(暗示)isthatthepersonwantsthelistenertoconsiderwhathasbeensaidbeforecontinuing.Inthesecultures,silenceisacallforreflection.Otherculturesmayusesilenceinotherways,particularlywhendealingwithconflictsamongpeopleorinrelationshipsofpeoplewithdifferentamountsofpower.Forexample,Russian,French,andSpanishpersonsmayusesilencetoshowagreementbetweenpartiesaboutthetopicunderdiscussion.However,Mexicansmayusesilencewheninstructionsaregivenbyapersoninauthorityratherthanberudetothatpersonbyarguingwithhimorher.Instillanotheruse,personsinAsianculturesmayviewsilenceasasignofrespect,particularlytoanelderorapersoninauthority.Nursesandothercare-giversneedtobeawareofthepossiblemeaningsofsilencewhentheycomeacrossthepersonalanxietytheirpatientsmaybeexperiencing.Nursesshouldrecognizetheirownpersonalandculturalconstructionofsilencesothatapatient’ssilenceisnotinterruptedtooearlyorallowedtogoonunnecessarily.Anursewhounderstandsthehealing(治愈)valueofsilencecanusethisunderstandingtoassistinthecareofpatientsfromtheirownandfromothercultures.8.Whatdoestheauthorsayaboutsilenceinconversations?A.Itimpliesanger.B.Itpromotesfriendship.C.Itisculture-specific.D.Itiscontent-based.9.Whichofthefollowingpeoplemightregardsilenceasacallforcarefulthought?A.TheChinese.B.TheFrench.C.TheMexicans.D.TheRussians.10.Whatdoestheauthoradvisenursestodoaboutsilence?A.Letitcontinueasthepatientpleases.B.Breakitwhiletreatingpatients.C.Evaluateitsharmtopatients.D.Makeuseofitshealingeffects.11.Whatmaybethebesttitleforthetext?A.SoundandSilenceB.WhatItMeanstoBeSilentC.SilencetoNativeAmericansD.SpeechIsSilver;SilenceIsGold【答案】8.C9.A10.D11.B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化背景下的不同内涵。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段Themeaningofsilencevariesamongculturalgroups.Asilenceinaconversationmayalsoshowstubbornness,uneasiness,orworry.可知，沉默的含义因文化群体而异，交谈中的沉默也可能表示固执、不安或担忧。所以作者认为谈话中的沉默是有文化特性的。故选C项。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中ManyNativeAmericansvaluesilenceandfeelitisabasicpartofcommunicatingamongpeople,justassometraditionalChineseandThaipersonsdo.Therefore,whenapersonfromoneoftheseculturesisspeakingandsuddenlystops,whatmaybeimplied(暗示)isthatthepersonwantsthelistenertoconsiderwhathasbeensaidbeforecontinuing可知，许多印第安人珍视沉默，认为这是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分，就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人一样。因此，当一个来自其中一种文化的人说话时突然停下来，暗示说话者想要倾听者在继续之前思考一下所说过的话。所以中国人认为谈话时人们沉默是为了让别人思考。故选A项。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据末段末句Anursewhounderstandsthehealingvalueofsilencecanusethisunderstandingtoassistinthecareofpatients可知，了解沉默的治疗价值的护士可以利用这种了解来帮助护理病人。所以作者建议护士要用沉默来治疗病人。故选D。【11题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Themeaningofsilencevariesamongculturalgroups”可知，沉默的含义因文化群体而异。以及先问介绍了在不同文化背景下谈话期间的沉默的不同含义。所以短文的最佳标题是“沉默意味着什么”。故选B。DDTheircheerysongbrightensmanyawinter'sday.Butrobinsareindangerofwearingthemselvesoutbysingingtoomuch.Robinsaresingingallnight一aswellasduringtheday,British-basedresearcherssay.DavidDominoni,ofGlasgowUniversity,saidthatlightfromstreetlamps,takeawaysignsandhomesisaffectingthebirds'biologicalclocks,leadingtothembeingwideawakewhentheyshouldbeasleep.DrDominoni,whoisputtingcamerasinsidenestingboxestotracksleepingpatterns,saidlackofsleepcouldputthebirds’healthatrisk.Hisstudyshowsthatwhenrobinsareexposedtolightatnightinthelab,itleadstosomeg

第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Beforetherewasthewrittenword,therewasthelanguageofdance.Danceexpressesloveandhate,joyandsorrow,lifeanddeath,andeverythingelseinbetween.____16____WedancefromFloridatoAlaska,fromnorthtosouthandseatosea.Wedanceatweddings,birthdays,officepartiesandjusttofillthetime.“Iadoredancing,”saysLesterBridges,theownerofadancestudioinIowa.“Ican’timaginedoinganythingelsewithmylife.”Bridgesrunsdanceclassesforallages.“Teachingdanceiswonderful._____17_____It’sgreattowatchthem.Formanyofthem,it’sawayofmeetingpeopleandhavingasociallife.”____18____“Icantellyouaboutoneyoungcouple,”saysBridges.“They’relearningtodotraditionaldances.Theyarriveattheclassinlowspiritsandtheyleavewithasmile.______19______”So,dowedanceinordertomakeourselvesfeelbetter,calmer,healthier?AndreaHilliersays,“Dance,likethepatternofabeatingheart,islife.Evenafteralltheseyears,Iwanttogetbetterandbetter._____20_____Ifindithardtostop!DancingremindsmeI’malive.”A.Sowhydowedance?B.DanceintheU.S.iseverywhere.C.Ifyoulikedancingoutdoors,cometoAmerica.D.Myolderstudentssayitmakesthemfeelyoung.E.IkeeppracticingevenwhenI’mextremelytired.F.Dancingseemstochangetheirfeelingcompletely.G.Theystayedupallnightlongsinginganddancing.【答案】16.B17.D18.A19.F20.E【解析】【分析】本文为说明文。文章主要介绍了跳舞的好处。【16题详解】根据后文WedancefromFloridatoAlaska,fromnorthtosouthandseatosea.Wedanceatweddings,birthdays,officepartiesandjusttofillthetime.等可知，这里是说在美国到处有人跳舞，从佛罗里达到阿拉斯加，从北到南等，故选B。【17题详解】根据前文舞蹈课为各个年龄阶段的人架起了桥梁，教跳舞是非常好的，再根据后句it’sgreattowatchthem，根据人称可知是在谈论他们，所以D和F符合，再根据本段最后一句可知，此段主要介绍了跳舞对他们的好处，故选D。【18题详解】根据第四段后句，是通过举例介绍人们跳舞的原因，故选A。【19题详解】根据前句theyarriveattheclassinlowspiritsandtheyleavewithasmile,所以他们的心情彻底改变，故选F。【20题详解】根据文章前后句可知，此处人称为第一人称，所以E符合语境，作者结合自己的跳舞经历介绍了跳舞给自己带来的好处。【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第2小题中的“them”，第5小题中的“I”，第1小题中的fromFloridatoAlaska，均与上下文或选项中有相呼应的词语。第二部分语言知识及应用（共两节，满分30分）第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。MyhusbandandIwereservinginPeaceCorpsinaremotevillageinnorthernThailand.Thereweremany____21____anddifficulties,particularlyaroundourhousing.WemovedintoourhousethisJune.Shortlyafter,whilewewereawayatPeaceCorpstraining,theownerrippedout(扯掉)allthesurroundingbananagrovestoraisethegroundlevel—shehadplannedon____22____ourhouseandbuildinganewoneafterweleft.Shebroughtintonsofdirt.This____23____ourhouseinakindofmoat(壕沟),andwhentheheavyraincame,ourhouse____24____.This,needlesstosay,wasupsetting,butitturnedintoa____25____,becausewhentheheadmasteratmyschoolbecame____26____ofit,hegotmyeighth-gradeclasstocometohelpcleanup.Theboys____27____intothemoattodrain(排水)thewater,whilethegirlsmoppedupthewater____28____,spreadnewspapersto____29____itandcleanedup.Beforethe_____30_____wastrulysolved,however,wehadanotherflood.Thisturnedintoaparty,withteachersandstudents_____31_____helpingcleanup,andourhostmotherbringinglunchforeveryone.Therewerecountlessotherlessdramatic(引人注目的)_____32_____studentsofcareandgenerosity.Thiscommunityis_____33_____tous,andthereisnowaywecanever_____34_____them.IplantopayitforwardasbestIcan,by_____35_____lookingforpeopleinneedofsomekindofhelp,rememberinghowkindandcompassionatemyThaicommunityhasbeen.21.A.sights
