容豪与解析

【解题导语】本篇对话主题是关于零花钱问题的。玛丽向南希抱怨自己的

零花钱太少。

1.witho考查介词的用法。haveanargumentwith”与..争吵"。

2.a/pero考查冠词或介词的用法。此处a/per表示频率，意为“每一”。

3.reasonableo考查词性转换。sound为系动词，其后接形容词作表语，reason

的形容词形式为reasonableo

4.comparedo考查非谓语动词。comparedwith”与..相比”,是固定用法。

5.But。考查连词的用法。上下文之间存在转折关系，因此用but。

6.help<,结合语境考查动词。由下文中的MumsaidifI7(do)thatIwould

neverhavetimetodomyschoolwork.可知,此处谈的是做家务的问题。

7.dido考查虚拟语气。此处表示与现在事实相反的假设，故从句谓语动词用一

般过去时。

8.more。考查形容词的比较级。此处表示多得些零花钱，因此用more。

9.should。结合语境考查情态动词。此处为说话人向对方提建议，因此用shouldo

10.enougho考查副词。“形容词+enough+不定式”为常用结构。此处表示“怎

么证明自己年龄足够大了，可以得到更多的钱了”。

m.书面表达

CCTV播出的纪录片《舌尖上的中国》(ABiteofChina)红遍大江南北。

答案与解析

【解题导语】这是一篇科普文。人们对于第六感觉这一超自然的现象很

感兴趣，但遗憾的是，迄今为止人们没能证明第六感觉是否存在，只有时间能告

诉我们这个问题的答案。

解京细节理解题。第三段说，Rhine在1934年写了一本书，宣称他掌握了关于

第六感存在的大量证据，但其他科学家用同样的方式去研究却不能得到与他一样

的结果，于是这本书就失去了可靠性(thebooklosingmuchofitsoriginalreliability),

由此可知选C项，他的书不被公众接受。

2.答案A

解析推理判断题。第三、四段讲述了两个研究，这两个研究在当时轰动一时，

但都没有得出让人相信的证据或结果，因此选A项。

3.答案A

解析推理判断题。最后一段作者说，人们对第六感这一超自然的现象很感兴趣，

还在寻找解释，或许有一天我们能找到解释，因为有一点是确定的，“事实的真

相摆在那里”。由此可以看出，作者只相信事实的真相，没有直接肯定或否定这

一现象的存在，因此选A项。

解析短语猜测题。根据下文可知，作者小时候就喜欢骑自行车，但8岁时遭遇

一次重大骑车事故，所以中间就与自行车隔绝了数年，现在是重拾旧技，故选A

项。

5.答案B

解析细节理解题。根据第二段第四、五两句可知，车祸完全归咎于作者的冒失，

故选B项。

6.答案C

解析段落大意题。这三段主要讨论山地自行车运动需要的合格的自行车的性能,

故选C项。

7.答案C

解析推理判断题。根据最后一段首句可判断选C项。

答案与解析

【解题导语】每年11月的第四个星期四是感恩节，父母可利用这个天赐

良机教育你的孩子要懂得感恩、尊重他人。

1.答案D

解析首句的Novemberisthemonth…暗示着正是此时我们应该思考感恩。

2.答案G

解析这是一个主题句，根据该段中的sharesomethingthattheyarethankfulfor

可知，作者建议从吃饭的时候开始，让孩子们想起感恩的事。与G项中的create

aroutine相符。

3.答案A

解析上一句Keepagratitudejournal.是说让孩子们写感恩日记，那么可以推测

空处应是说教他们怎么记录值得感恩的事，与A项相符。

4.答案F

解析上——句Showchildrenthevalueofwritingathankyounotebyhand强调

了写感恩卡的重要性，故空处应紧接着讲让孩子们自己来做“感恩卡”来明白感

恩卡的重要性。

5.答案C

解析下文的ourkidsbegintounderstandwhenweactasthemodel说明家长是

孩子最好的老师，因此让孩子们感受家长感恩的态度很重要。故空处应该是“与

你的孩子分享值得你感恩的事情:

答案与解析

【解题导语】本篇对话谈论的主题是健康问题。说话人经常失眠，却不知

是什么原因，可能是工作太辛苦了。

1.latelyo考查词性转换。由语境haven'tbeenfeeling现在完成进行时可知，此

处应用lately,表示“最近，近来二

2.getting。考查非谓语动词的用法。ke即后面常接动名词形式。

3.worseo考查形容词的比较级形式。由语境可知他的病情恶化了，bad的比较

级为worseo

4.hasbeenkeeping。考查动词的时态。由下文答语It'sbeenkeepingmeawake.可

知此处应用现在完成进行时。

5.longo考查副词。由下文thepain?Foraboutayearnow.可知应用howlong提

问。

6.after。考查从属连词的用法。句意:你近来散步之后一直感到疲劳吗?故用after。

7.ofo考查介词的用法。beshortof.breath意为“呼吸困难”，故填of。

8.ao考查不定冠词的用法。此处为不定冠词的固定用法，afew“一些”，用于

可数名词前。

9.becauseo考查连接词的用法。it'sbecause…意为"因为..

10.findo考查动词短语。findout"查明，弄清（情况）”，符合语境。

IV.书面表达
