B.deliveryC. D.medical答案解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段第二行carrystemcells可知，作者是運送細胞的人，所以選擇B項，deliveryman。WhydoesPeterhavetocompletehistripwithin42HecannotstayawayfromhisjobtooThedonorcanonlywaitforthatTheoperationneedsthatmuchTheicewon’tlastany答案解析：細節(jié)題。從第一段第三行“becauseI’vegottwoicepacksandthat’showlongtheylast可以知道選擇D項thewon’tlastanyWhichfightdidthewomanputPeter 答案解析：細節(jié)題。由原文第三段倒數(shù)第二行“re-routedmethroughNewark”可知，答案選B。DThemeaningofsilencecarriesamongculturegroups.Silencemaybethoughtful,ortheymaybeemptywhena hasnothingtosay.Asilenceinaconversationmayalsoshowstubbornness,uneasiness,or,worry.Silencemaybeviewedbysomeculturalgroupsasextremelyfortable;thereforeattemptsmaybemadetofilleverygap(間隙)with sinotherculturalgroupsvaluesilenceviewitasnecessaryforunderstanding ’sManyNativeAmericansvaluesilenceandfeelitisabasicpartofcommunicatingamongpeople,justassometraditionalChineseandThaisdo.Therefore,whena fromoneoftheseculturesisspeakingandsuddenlystops,whatmaybeimplied(暗示)isthatthewantsthelistenertoconsiderwhathasbeensaidbeforecontinuing.Inthesecultures,silenceisacallforOtherculturesmayusesilenceinotherways,particularlydealingwith samongpeopleorinrelationshipsofpeoplewithdifferentamountsofpower.Forexample,Russian,French,andSpanishsmayusesilencetoshowagreementbetweenpartiesaboutthetopicunderdiscussion.However,Mexicansmayusesilencewheninstructionsaregivenbya inauthorityratherthanberudeto byarguingwithhimorher.Instillanotheruse, sinAsianculturesmayviewsilenceasasignofrespect,particularlytoanelderora inauthority, sinAsianculturemayviewsilenceasasignofrespect,particularlytoanelderora inauthority.Nursesandothercare-giversneedtobeawareofthepossiblemeaningsofsilencewhentheycomeacrossthe alanxietytheir theirownalandculturalconstructionofsilencesothatapatient’ssilenceisnotinterruptedtooearlyorallowedtogoonunnecessarily.Anursewhounderstandsthehealing(治愈valueofsilencecanusethisunderstandingtoassistinthecareofpatientsfromtheirownandfromothercultures.WhatdoestheauthorsayaboutsilenceinItimpliesItpromotesItisculture-Itiscontent-答案解析：推測題。原文定位以得知A項不全面，沉默不只代表一個意思；同理，可排除B選項；此段反復(fù)強調(diào)“Silencemaybeviewedbysomeculturalgroups…“sinotherculturalgroupsvalue…”可得知，沉默在不同文化中的意義是不同的，而不是根據(jù)內(nèi)容變化的，由此可以排出D，得出正確答案C。Whichofthefollowingpeoplemightconsidersilenceasacallforcarefulthought?The B.TheC.The D.The答案對方仔細考慮？”定位第二“Therefore… wantsthelistenertoconsiderwhathasbeensaidbeforecontinuing.”中文意思為，和文化中，silence代表說話人想在繼續(xù)會話之前讓者考慮他的話。所以可以得出答案A。WhatdoestheauthoradvisenursestodoaboutLetitcontinueasthepatientBreakitwhiletreatingEvaluateitsharmtoMakeuseofitshealing答案解析：細節(jié)題。對應(yīng)文章最后一段。答案可以在段落句中可分析出來—第一句和最后一句。尤其是最后一句“Anursewhounderstandsthehealing(治愈)valueofsilencecanusethisunderstandingtoassistinthecareofpatients…”作者認為，了解沉默的治愈價值有助于更好地照顧。所以，是建議護士利用沉默的治愈價值的。而A，B選項出現(xiàn)在第2句sothat后面的部分。用了否定詞not，是作者所不建議的。C選項在文中并未提及。WhatmaybethebesttitlefortheSoundandWhatitmeanstobeSilencetoNativeSpeechIsSilver;SilenceIs答案解析：主旨題。文章為總分的結(jié)構(gòu)，可從第一段入手。定位文章第一句“Themeaningofsilencecariesamongculturegroups.”即可得知全篇都在講沉默代表的意義，不同的文化意義不同。文中并沒提到聲音與沉默的關(guān)系，所以不選A；文章講了不同國家沉默代表的意義，不局限于NativeAmericans，排除C；而DB?！?015·新課標卷IAMonthlyTalksatLondonCOurmonthlytalksstartat19：30ontheThursdayofeachmonthexceptAugust.Admissionisatnormalchargesandyoudon'tneedtobook.Theyendaround21：00.TheCPioneers,byChrisLewis.JamesBrindleyisrecognizedasoneoftheleadingearlycengineers.Hewasalsoamajorplayerintrainingothersintheartofcplanningandbuilding.ChrisLewiswillexplainhowBrindleymadesuchapositivecontributiontotheeducationofthatgroupofearly“civilengineers”．IcefortheMetropolis,byMalcolmTucker.Wellbeforethearrivaloffreezers,therewasademandforiceforfoodpreservationandcatering.Malcolmwillexplainthehistoryofimportingnaturaliceandthetechnologyofbuildingicewells,andhowLondon'sicetradegrew.AnUpdateontheCotsword s,byLizPayne.The ismovingtowardsreopening.TheThamesandSevernC takealittlelonger.Wewillhaveareportonthepresentstateofplay.EyotsandAits-ThamesIslands,byMirandaVickers.TheThameshadmanyislands.Mirandahasundertakenareviewofallofthem.Shewilllusaboutthoseofgreatestinterest.Online Moreinfo： LondonCMuseum12-13NewWharfRoad,LondonNI ：020【試題分析】文章主要介紹了在倫敦運河博物館每個月的講座安WhenisthetalkonJamesBrindley?A．February6th.
