【解析】

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇記敘文。這篇文章講述了一個(gè)父母如何通過一個(gè)牙仙子寫的紙條來培養(yǎng)女兒的性格特征

以及女兒如何通過遵循這些指示走向成功并感謝牙仙子的教導(dǎo)。主要強(qiáng)調(diào)了做好準(zhǔn)備、待人友善、樂于助

人等品質(zhì)對(duì)于成功的重要性。

【4題詳解】

詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第一段"WhenourdaughterMeegan,theeldestoffivechildren,lostherfronttoothattheage

ofsix,wefoundthefollowingnotewrappedaroundthetinytooth.Piezelevemeyormajikwand.Iwanttobea

toothfairy,too.（當(dāng)我們的女兒Meegan,五個(gè)孩子中最大的一個(gè)，在六歲時(shí)失去了門牙時(shí)，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)下面的

紙條包裹在這顆小牙齒上。請(qǐng)給我你的魔杖，我也想成為一名牙仙）”可知，Meegan給牙仙子寫了一個(gè)紙條

表達(dá)自己的愿望，父母抓住這個(gè)教育的契機(jī)，以牙仙子的口吻跟孩子進(jìn)行交流。所以“theteachable

moment（可教的時(shí)刻）”指的是Meegan給牙仙子寫了一個(gè)紙條表達(dá)自己的愿望（Meeganwroteanote）,父母

抓住這個(gè)教育的契機(jī)。故選C。

【5題詳解】

Meegan（認(rèn)識(shí)到潛在的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)技能、寶貴的機(jī)會(huì)和，“牙仙”給小米根留下了以下便條）”可知，Meegan給牙

仙子寫了一個(gè)紙條表達(dá)自己的愿望，父母抓住這個(gè)教育的契機(jī)"theteachablemoment（可教的時(shí)刻）”，以牙

仙子的口吻跟孩子進(jìn)行交流。故選B。

thejob.（我一直努力成為一個(gè)好的牙仙，我熱愛我的工作。你還太年輕，不能勝任剛才的工作，所以我不能

把魔杖給你。但你可以開始做一些事情來為這份工作做好準(zhǔn)備）”和“Meeganwasthrilledattheresponsefrom

theToothFairy.Shetookthemessagetoheartandcarefullyfollowedtheinstructions,alwaysworkingtoimprove

asshegrew.（米根對(duì)牙仙子的回應(yīng)感到非常激動(dòng)。她把這一信息牢記在心，并認(rèn)真遵循指示，始終努力隨著

成長(zhǎng)而進(jìn)步。）”可知，Meegan根據(jù)牙仙子的要求，努力做好自己，以期早日達(dá)到牙仙子所提出的要求，實(shí)

現(xiàn)自己的愿望。故選A。

可知，收到牙仙子的回復(fù),Meegan非常激動(dòng),并把她的話記在心里去實(shí)施，努力做到。C項(xiàng)“Shewasmotivated

todevelopfinequalities.（她被激勵(lì)去培養(yǎng)優(yōu)秀的品質(zhì)）”與原文意思一致。故選C。

【答案】8.A9.C10.B11.D

【解析】

【分析】這是一篇議論文，介紹了古代地圖的頂部是不同的方向，但是現(xiàn)在地圖一般都是北在上的，所以

人們認(rèn)為北方是好的。而南在上的地圖不僅讓我們有機(jī)會(huì)從不同角度看世界，也讓每個(gè)人有機(jī)會(huì)看到自己

處于頂峰。

【8題詳解】

2田節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段“AncientEgyptianmapshadsouthatthetopbecausetheNileRiverflowsdownhill

將北作為地圖的頂部，所以以北為上的地圖在古代是很少見的。故選A項(xiàng)。

林的黑暗深處，那里的自然資源不是很多，植物不會(huì)像那些在中等樹蔭下的植物那樣，試圖在生長(zhǎng)上超過

它們的鄰居）”可知，在中度陰暗的環(huán)境中，植物試圖比其鄰居長(zhǎng)得高。故選C。

【13題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的"Sohowdoplantspreventsuchgrowthindeepshadeconditions?Thesecretlies

中的新作用）”可知，根據(jù)安東尼?多德教授的說法，生物鐘影響植物對(duì)生存競(jìng)爭(zhēng)的適應(yīng)性。故選C。

【15題詳解】

推理判斷題。通讀全文，尤其是第一段“Scientistshavediscoveredhowplantsmanagetolivealongsideeach

otherinplacesthataredarkandshady.（科學(xué)家們已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了植物是如何在黑暗和陰涼的地方共存的）"可知，

本文主要介紹了科學(xué)家們已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了植物是如何在黑暗和陰涼的地方共存的，因此作者寫作本文的目的是

介紹一個(gè)有關(guān)植物的新發(fā)現(xiàn)。故選A。

【答案】16.D17.F18.A19.G20.C

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇說明文，文章主要講述了在現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中擺脫孤獨(dú)的方法。

【16題詳解】

前句"Theonlywaytobreakawayfromitistoreconnectwiththeselfandthepeoplewhosurroundus.（擺脫它的

唯一方法是重新聯(lián)系自我和我們周圍的人）”提出擺脫孤獨(dú)的方法，后句“Here、whatwecando.（以下是我

們?cè)撛趺醋觯笔且鼍唧w做法，所以此空就應(yīng)該是繼續(xù)闡述這個(gè)方法。再結(jié)合第一段是以第一人稱行文的，

D項(xiàng)“這需要我們重新審視、重新考慮和適應(yīng)”符合語(yǔ)境，講述這個(gè)方法對(duì)人們的要求。故選D。

【17題詳解】

本段主旨句是"Connectwithyourownself（與你自己建立聯(lián)系）”，結(jié)合下文“Developingaconsciousand

mindfulapproachisanessentialelementtowardsensuringthereisnodisconnectednessfrompeoplewhosurround

youandthelifeyoubuildforyourself.（發(fā)展一種有意識(shí)的方法是確保你與周圍的人以及你為自己建立的生活

沒有脫節(jié)的基本要素）”中的“consciousandmindfUlapproach”可知，F(xiàn)項(xiàng)“自我意識(shí)是理解你的需求和欲

望的關(guān)鍵”符合語(yǔ)境，F(xiàn)項(xiàng)中的selfawareness既符合本段主題，又呼應(yīng)下文。故選F。

【18題詳解】

分析文章結(jié)構(gòu)可知，設(shè)空處是第三段的小標(biāo)題，所以答案應(yīng)該在A、B項(xiàng)中選擇。結(jié)合第三段的第一句

uLearningtosay4no9tothepeopleandactivitiesthatarebeyondyourability.（學(xué)會(huì)對(duì)另！J人和超出自己能力以外

的事情說不）”可知，本段主要講述要了解什么能做，什么不能做，A項(xiàng)“設(shè)置界限”符合語(yǔ)境。故選A。

【19題詳解】

結(jié)合本段的小標(biāo)題“Dothethingsyoulove（做你喜歡的事）”和空后的but轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系以及essential和

significant的近義詞提示可知，此處是講述和別人有關(guān)的事情雖然重要，但顧及自己的需求也很重要，G項(xiàng)

“努力為你周圍的人騰出時(shí)間是很重要的”符合語(yǔ)境。故選G。

【20題詳解】

根據(jù)小標(biāo)題的主題詞time可以定位C項(xiàng)“不要讓時(shí)間偷偷溜走”，后一句的it代詞指代時(shí)間，此句和下文

形成對(duì)比關(guān)系。不要讓時(shí)間偷偷溜走，而應(yīng)該充分利用它，花在你在乎的人身上。故選C。

第三部分語(yǔ)言運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）

第一節(jié)（共15小題:每小題1分，滿分15分）

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。
