1.詞數(shù)80左右；

2.可以適當增加細節(jié)，以使行文連貫。

參考答案

1.A

【解析】考查理解具體信息的能力。根據(jù)第一段中的"Diveintoscienceduringthis

fun,colorful,andexcitingclass〃及第二段中的〃astheyhavefunwithscience〃可

知，這個課程旨在通過有趣的方式激發(fā)孩子們對科學的興趣，引導他們了解科學知識，故選Ao

2.D

【解析】考查理解具體信息的能力。根據(jù)文中的〃WhattoBring/Wear:layeredclothing,

shoesthatcoverthetoes,andanindividualsnack〃可知，參加該課程的學生應該穿

不露腳趾的鞋,故選Do

3.D

【解析】考查推理判斷的能力?？v觀全文可知，本文主要介紹了以〃MadScientist〃為主題

的科學課程的相關信息，如時間、地點、費用、注意事項等，故本文是一則課程廣告。

【備注】

文章主要介紹了一個科學課程的時間、收費、報名須知、上課地點等信息。

4.D

【解析】考查理解具體信息的能力。根據(jù)第一段中的〃Butnewresearchprovides

evidencethattheareahadarainforestinthepast”和第二段中的〃The

researcherscollectedapieceofEarthsediment（沉淀物）fromundertheseafloor

offthecoastofAntarctica.Inthesediment,theydiscoveredforestmaterial

thatwasestimatedtobeabout90millionyearsold”可知，研究人員從南極洲海岸的

海床下收集到沉淀物,經(jīng)過對該沉淀物的分析和研究得出結論。故答案為Do

5.B

【解析】考查推理判斷的能力。根據(jù)第二段可知,該沉淀物中含有森林物質；再根據(jù)第三段

中的〃Klagessaidanexaminationshowedthatthematerialdidn'tforminthe

ocean〃可知，該物質不是在海洋中形成的。再結合第四段中的“Thesoilincludedfine

dirtparticles（顆粒）...floweringplants〃可知，沉淀物是在南極洲的陸地上形成的。

故答案為B。

6.C

【解析】考查推理判斷的能力。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Thesoilinthesedimentdates

backtotheplanet*swarmestperiodofthepast140millionyears...noice

sheetswerepresentduringthetime,butseasonalsnowfallwaslikely〃可推知，南

極洲的自然環(huán)境發(fā)生了很大的變化。故答案為C。

7.C

【解析】考查理解主旨要義的能力。第一段是文章的主題段，介紹新的研究證明南極洲過去

曾被雨林覆蓋,其余段落均圍繞該主題展開，由此可知,本文主要講述的是南極洲曾經(jīng)的氣候

跟現(xiàn)在的有很大不同。故答案為C。

【備注】

【語篇類型】說明文

【主題語境】人與自然一一自然環(huán)境

【文章大意】今天我們都知道南極洲被冰雪覆蓋，氣候非常惡劣。但是新研究證實該地區(qū)在

過去有很大不同。

8.B

【解析】考查目的意圖。通讀全文可知，第一段第三句"Anewstudysuggeststhat

campinginthegreatoutdoorsforacoupleofdayscanresetyourbodyclock

andhelpyougetmoresleep”為文章主旨句，據(jù)此可知，本文旨在告訴人們，野外宿營幾天

可以調整人們的生物鐘,讓人們獲得更多的睡眠，故B項正確。

9.A

【解析】考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的"Areyousickofgoingtobedlateand

wakinguptired”及第四段第二句"Andthetroubleisthatyourmelatoninlevels

maystillbehighwhenyouralarmclockgoesoffinthemorning,whichleadsto

fatigue”可知,早晨當你的鬧鐘響時，你體內(nèi)的褪黑激素水平可能還是很高,這會導致疲勞，

故畫線詞意為"疲勞

10.C

【解析】考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段的"Thistellsuswecanresetourclocksfast"

可知,實驗結果表明，在自然環(huán)境中人體的生物鐘能快速恢復。故C項正確。

11.D

【解析】考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的"ifyouwanttochangeyoursleep

patternsyoucouldtrytoincreaseyourexposuretonaturallightduringthe

dayanddecreasetheamountofartificiallightyouseeatnight”可知，如果要改

變睡眠模式,可以通過白天多接觸自然光、晚上避免接觸人工光源的方式來實現(xiàn),故D項正

確。

【備注】本文是一篇科普說明文。生物鐘的作用原理與褪黑激素在人體中的水平變化相關。

現(xiàn)代社會中人們不按時作息常常導致褪黑激素水平在早晨時還很高,導致疲勞,甚至是糖尿

病、肥胖和心臟病等。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)野外宿營可以讓作息不規(guī)律的人們的生物鐘恢復正常。

【段意梳理】

第一段:開門見山，給出全文話題一一野外宿營幾天可以調整人的生物鐘，讓人們獲得

更多的睡眠。

第二段:生物鐘的定義和其與褪黑激素的關系。

第三段:健康的睡眠過程中褪黑激素水平的變化情況。

第四段:現(xiàn)代社會中人們不按時作息常常導致褪黑激素水平在早晨時還很高，導致疲勞等。

第五段:為了證明生物鐘可以在自然環(huán)境中快速恢復,KennethP.WrightJr.教授做了一個

實驗。

第六段:實驗結果表明，在自然環(huán)境中人體的生物鐘能快速恢復。

第七段:結論和建議一一如果想要改善睡眠,可以在白天多接觸自然光,在晚上避免接觸人工

光源。如果無效，可以野外宿營。

【難句分析】Andthetroubleisthatyourmelatoninlevelsmaystillbehigh

whenyouralarmclockgoesoffinthemorning,whichleadstofatigue.

分析:這是一個復合句。句中thatyourmelatoninlevelsmaystillbehighwhen

youralarmclockgoesoffinthemorning為表語從句；句中whichleadstofatigue

為which引導的非限制性定語從句。

譯文:麻煩的是,早晨當你的鬧鐘響時,你體內(nèi)的褪黑激素水平還是很高,這會導致疲勞。

【背景知識】褪黑素是一種誘導自然睡眠的激素。人體內(nèi)褪黑素的分泌是有晝夜節(jié)律的。

夜幕降臨后,光刺激減弱,合成褪黑素的酶類活性增強,體內(nèi)褪黑素的分泌水平也相應增高。

12.A

【解析】考查主旨大意。從文章第一段的"inthe17thcentury\第二段的"Around

1800”及第三段的"duringthe19thcentury"可知，本文主要介紹了茶在英國的發(fā)展。故選

A項。

13.A

【解析】考查詞義猜測。從文中的"shebroughttea-drinkingtotheEnglishroyal

courtandsetatrendforthebeverage”可知，她把喝茶的習慣帶到了英國皇室并開啟

了英國人喝茶的潮流,故選A運廠

14.D

【解析】考查細節(jié)理解。從文章第一段的"However,drinkingteainsocialsettings

outsidetheworkplacewasbeyondthemeansofthemajorityofBritishpeople.

Itcamewithahighpricetagandteawastaxedaswell”可知，17世紀，在英國茶不

能作為一種普遍的飲料的原因是對大多數(shù)英國人來說,它的價格高并被征稅。故選D項。

【干擾項分析】A項錯在"merely”,文中未提及;B項錯在"alcoholic”,文中并未提及;C項

錯在"forbiddeninbusinesssettings”,與文章第一段的內(nèi)容不符。

15.C

【解析】考查細節(jié)理解。從文章第一段的"inthe17thcentury”、第二段的"Around

1800”及第三段的"duringthe19thcentury”可知，文章是按照時間順序來組織的。故選C

項。

【備注】本文介紹了茶在英國的發(fā)展歷史及其受歡迎的原因。

【段意梳理】

第一段：介紹茶被查理二世的王后CatherineofBraganza引入皇室。

第二段:大約在19世紀,AnnaMariaRussell開啟了英國人“下午茶”的習慣。

第三段:在19世紀期間，隨著茶價的降低,茶已經(jīng)深入到英國的社會生活中。

【背景知識】英國人將下午茶發(fā)展為一種既定習俗的文化方式。當時,一位葡萄牙公主和英

國國王查理二世結婚,公主把葡萄牙的飲茶習慣帶到英國。19世紀時,英國上流社會社交晚

餐一直到晚上八點左右才開始，人們便習慣在下午四點左右吃些點心、喝杯茶。很快，下午

茶便在英國上流社會流行起來。英國人最喜歡的下午茶時間，多集中在下午3點到5點半之

間,在優(yōu)雅的氛圍里往往可以讓人們感受到心靈的祥和與家庭式的溫暖,從而緩解一天的疲

勞。

16.D

【解析】根據(jù)空前一句中的"levelsofstress”可推知，該空應是進一步陳述壓力水平和年

齡之間的關系,故D項與此處匹配。

17.G

【解析】根據(jù)空前一句中的"menandwomenhavesimilaremotionalpatterns”可知，男

性和女性有類似的情感模式，由此可推知,空處應是接著陳述男性和女性的情感模式的相似

之處或差異性,又結合選項可知,G項與此處匹配。

18.A

【解析】根據(jù)空后的“Onetheoryisthat"和語境可推知，該空應是一個問句，又結合本段

分析的是幸福隨著人們年齡的增長而增長的原因可推知,A項符合語境。

19.E

【解析】本段主要表述睡眠質量隨著人們年齡的增長而有所提高,又空處所在位置承上啟下,

上段敘述幸福與年齡之間的關系,故E項與此處匹配。

20.F

【解析】根據(jù)本段中的〃Inanotherstudy〃并結合空處前后句表述的年齡增長與睡眠問題

的關系可推知,F項符合語境。

【備注】

本文是一篇說明文，隨著年齡的增長,人們是變得更幸福還是不那么幸福了呢?2018年的一

項研究發(fā)現(xiàn),通常人們在50歲之后,會變得更幸福且體會到較少的憂慮。

21.C

【解析】根據(jù)下文的"Amotoristwhocouldenjoyahigherspeedthanme"〃Istopped

andgotout”可知，作者驅車(driving)走這其中一條彎彎曲曲的山路。

22.C

【解析】根據(jù)下文的〃becauseofdaysofrain〃和常識可推斷出，此處表示因為連日下雨，

這條路讓人感到潮乎乎的(damp)oabnormal〃反常的〃；lifeless〃無生命的,缺乏生氣的〃。

23.B

【解析】根據(jù)上文的〃daysofrain〃和下文的"soilhadreleasedatreeonthehill

bytheroad〃可知，下雨使得土壤松動，導致山上的一棵樹倒在了路邊。weaken在這里表

示〃(使)松動〃，符合語境。

24.A

【解析】根據(jù)下文的"slowlypassedit”可知，倒了的樹讓車道變窄(narrowed)了。block”

堵住，阻塞〃;break〃打破〃。

25.D

【解析】根據(jù)下文的〃slowlypassedit〃可知，作者踩了剎車(brake),然后緩慢地駛過了這

棵倒下的樹。

26.B

【解析】根據(jù)下文提到的作者停車挪樹的內(nèi)容可知，此處表示作者駛過這棵樹后(對于是否

開車離開)猶豫(hesitated)了。accelerate"加速
