dayforhealthgoesbackmanyyearstoamarketingcampaignstartedinJapanforthe

saleofapedometer”

可知

,

事实上

,

为了健康

,

每天至少走一万步的想法可以追溯

到多年前日本开始的一项销售计步器的营销活动。由此说明一天走至少

10000

步

的概念来自于一款计步器。故选

C

项。

2.B

推理判断题。由第三段

“Itturnsoutthatwomenw……perdaysawno

additionalincreainlongevity.”

可知

,

每天走大约

4000

步的女性比每

天走更少步的女性寿命更长

,

而每天步行超过

7500

步的女性的寿命没有增加

,

所以走

4000

步左右最适宜。故选

B

项。

3.D

细节理解题。根据第四段

“Anothersurpri:…..increainlongevity.”

令

人惊讶的是：步行的好处在约

7500

,

每天步行超过

7500

步的女性的寿命并没有增加

,

所以

Janz

应该最同意这一项。故选

D

Passage2

“Asaresult,therivernolongerreachesthe

twater,thedeltaattheriver’smouthhasbecomedryandpoor.”

12

didn’tthinkabouttheenvironment.”

可知

,

该项目为人类和自然如何可持续地管理

河流树立了榜样。西部的许多河流都有问题。我们用它们使沙漠开花

,

建造城市。

我们没有考虑环境。由此可知

,

之前的发展没有做到环境保护

,

出现了很多环境

问题

,

因此保护环境要伴随着经济的发展。故选

D

项。

4.C主旨大意题。文章讲述了科罗拉多河因为水坝截流而干涸,现在人们要

打开水坝,恢复三角洲的生态。文章主要介绍了这一项让科罗拉多河的三角洲恢

复生机的计划。故选C项。

Passage3

1.C细节理解题。根据题干关键词MarietteDichristina定位到原文第一段；

根据文章第一段"Themostintimate(亲密的)relationshipwewilleverhaveisnot

d,itisbetweenourbodiesandourfood"可知根

据MarietteDiChristina的说法，与我们关系最密切的是食物。故选C。

2.B词义猜测题。根据文章第二段"Andmostofusknowatleastoneperson

whothinksofthemlvesasa'foodie'.It'salmostimpossiblenowadaystocheckour

socialmediaappswithoutatleasttwoorthreephotosofdeliciousmealsappearingon

ourscreen"可知，我们大多数人至少认识一个认为自己是"美食家的人”，去看关

于食物的电视节目，手机社交软件上也会去翻看关于美食的图片。此处foodie表

13

示“喜欢美食的人”。故选B。

3.A细节理解题。根据文章第三段"ButevenintheUK,familiesonlow

incomesareforcedtoufoodbanks—Europeanorganizationsthathandoutdonated

foodtothowhocan'taffordtopayforitthemlves.可知，英国的穷人能从食品

银行得到帮助。故选A。

4.B最佳标题题。作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了除了空气和水，食物

是人类生存和繁荣的必要条件，以及食物在人类生活中扮演的重要角色。故作者

着重是想表达食物的重要性，B选项说法符合主题要求。故选B。易错选项：A,

C,D选项跟文章传达的主题有些偏离，而且没传达到“食物重要”这一感情倾

向。

Passage4

1.B词义猜测题。通过题干信息“Iwasn'ttheonlybeneficiary“可定位到原文

Iwasn'ttheonlybeneficiary．Myfatherbecamethewealthiestmanintown．Mybrother

andstepbrothersbecameaphysician，adentist，alawyer，andacollegepresident，

可以推测出，作者说"我不是唯一的受益者"是因为，不仅有他，而且他的家人从

继母的热情中获益。故选B。

2.D细节理解题。通过题干信息“beforehisstepmother“可定位到原文"Iwould

likeyoutomeetthefellowwhoiswellknownforbeingtheworstboyinthiscounty

andwillprobablystartthrowingrocksatyounolaterthantomorrowmorning"可以推

测出，在他的继母进入他的生活之前，他被认为是一个野性行为粗鲁的男孩。故

选D。

3.A细节理解题。通过题干信息可定位到原文"Thisisnottheworstboyat

14

all，……wheremyfather'scareercouldbemoresuccessfulandmybrotherandIcould

bebettereducated."可知，继母让家庭进入县中心，规划每个家庭成员的未来，从

心底赞美他，不包括A，故选A。

4.D主旨大意题。阅读全文，根据文章内容可知，本文讲述了一个继母对作

者的肯定，从而激发了孩子心中的对成功的渴望，继母心中的热情，终于促使作

者成功了。故选D。

Passage5

1.B细节理解题。答案定位在第一段“Feelingshyandunimportant,sheretreated

(躲避)intobooks.”（她感到害羞和不重要，就躲进了书堆里。）由此可知B选项

的描述“她觉得自己是个无名小卒。”符合文意，故选B。

2.B推理判断题。答案定位在第二段“Thefeelingofbeingsodifferenthelped

Cisnerosfindher"creativevoice".”（这种与众不同的感觉帮助西斯内罗斯找到了

她的“创造性声音”。）由此推断出研究生课程给了Cisneros一个发展写作风格的

机会，故选B。

3.C细节理解题。答案定位在第三段“ItwasnotuntilthismomentwhenI

consideredmylftrulydifferentthatmywritingacquiredavoice.”（直到这一刻，

当我认为自己真的与众不同时，我的写作才有了声音。）由此可知，根据Cisneros

的说法，她成功的关键因素是她与众不同的感觉，故选C。

4.A推理判断题。答案定位在第四段“Thebookwonanawardin1985andhas

beenudinclassfromhighschooltograduateschoollevel.”（这本书在1985年

获得了一个奖项，从高中到研究生阶段都在使用。）由此推断出“TheHouon

MangoStreet”在学生中很受欢迎，故选A。
