36-40FECBA

閱讀解析

A篇是一篇應(yīng)用文，主要介紹了三種旅行時(shí)的配件：消音頭戴式耳機(jī)、多用途夾克、暈車減

輕腕帶。文章條理清晰，定位句明顯，難度不高。

B篇是一篇說(shuō)明文，主要講了對(duì)教嬰兒手勢(shì)是否有利于嬰兒學(xué)說(shuō)話更快的討論，介紹了

不同的各項(xiàng)實(shí)驗(yàn)結(jié)果。文章生詞較少，易于理解，難度中等。

C篇是一篇研究類的論文，從另一個(gè)角度為我們介紹失敗的意義和價(jià)值，重點(diǎn)分析了現(xiàn)

在孩子們害怕失敗的原因并提出建議，希望能將孩子們對(duì)失敗的想法改變。文章理解

不難，難度不大。

D篇是一篇記敘文，敘寫了作者在沃爾瑪超市排隊(duì)結(jié)賬的一次經(jīng)歷，收銀員是一位善良

的老人，他與顧客交談，并給予顧客尊敬、關(guān)懷與祝福。文章人文性濃郁，有一定的

難度。

詳細(xì)解析：

A篇

第21題D細(xì)節(jié)題。由題干定位到第一部分的最后一句Inaddition...asingle

charge可知，耳機(jī)提供了谷歌助手，故選D。

第22題C

細(xì)節(jié)題。由題干定位到第二部分。多用途夾克和傳統(tǒng)的不同在于他有12只口袋來(lái)裝藥

片、手機(jī)、太陽(yáng)鏡、護(hù)照等可知它的不同在于儲(chǔ)存東西的能力。

第23題B

細(xì)節(jié)題。由題干定位到第三部分的第二三句可知，這個(gè)物品是通過(guò)腕帶帶在手腕上來(lái)

進(jìn)行治療的裝置，故選B。

B篇

第24題B細(xì)節(jié)題。第二段第二句Anactivehome...muchmore

effective可知，經(jīng)常性的和嬰兒講話更加有效，故選B。

第25題A

細(xì)節(jié)題。由第四段最后一句可知，有些媽媽認(rèn)為如果別人上而自己不上這堂課，就會(huì)

成為一個(gè)不稱職的媽媽。她們只是跟隨其他媽媽的腳步，故選A。

第26題C詞意推斷題。由后面Wendy

Moat說(shuō)的話可推斷出，專家很難支持這種結(jié)果，因此選support。sustain支持，認(rèn)可。

第27題D主旨概括題。全文主要說(shuō)的實(shí)驗(yàn)表明是baby

signing這種方法對(duì)孩子的語(yǔ)言能力并沒有什么作用。故選D。

C篇

第28題D

細(xì)節(jié)題。由第一段可知，沒有人喜歡失敗，它讓人感到尷尬和氣餒，對(duì)于大多數(shù)人來(lái)

說(shuō)，失敗基本上是沒有樂趣的。這些都是失敗所帶來(lái)的不愉快的體驗(yàn)和經(jīng)歷。

第29題D

段落概括題。文章第二段大意是，改變一生的心態(tài)是很難的，即使我們?nèi)匀粺o(wú)法克服

失敗對(duì)我們的打擊，但是對(duì)我們的孩子來(lái)說(shuō)可能還不算太晚，結(jié)合下文都是從孩子的

角度來(lái)討論失敗，所以本段的主要目的是為了引出孩子如何面對(duì)失敗這個(gè)話題，閱讀

理解中but后面是重點(diǎn)。

第30題A

段落概括題。文章第三段通過(guò)專業(yè)咨詢師的分析，孩子們對(duì)失敗的恐懼表現(xiàn)出極大的

焦慮，孩子們承受著內(nèi)在和外在的壓力，他們認(rèn)為他們不應(yīng)該失敗，同時(shí)，當(dāng)他們達(dá)

不到一定的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，或者事情不按計(jì)劃進(jìn)行時(shí)，他們會(huì)感到不安和焦慮，所以第三段主

要分析了孩子們焦慮的原因。

第31題C

細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章最后一段可知，父母能做些什么來(lái)幫助他們的孩子接受失?。拷ㄗh有

將表?yè)P(yáng)引向努力，而不是結(jié)果一③Focusontheprocessofkids'

effort；從更大的角度看，心態(tài)的發(fā)展一@Makekidsembraceabright

mindset；我寧愿嘗試失敗，也不愿完全不嘗試一?Encouragekidstomakenew

attemptso

D篇

第32題C

細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章第一段可知，作者站著的隊(duì)伍沒有按作者想要的速度移動(dòng)，他瞥了一

眼收銀員，他正忙著收顧客的錢，從常識(shí)可知，作者在排隊(duì)中前面結(jié)賬的速度很慢，

他是不耐煩的。

第33題A

細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章第三段可知，作者已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了人們不加思考地在交談中問他怎么樣了

,通常，過(guò)了一段時(shí)間，你根本不去想這個(gè)問題，只是靜靜地說(shuō)些什么，在作者看來(lái)

，問最近怎么樣只是出于禮貌的客套話，沒有必要去回答，故選A。

第34題D

細(xì)節(jié)題。由第五段和第六段可知，那個(gè)老收銀員把零錢放在左手里，繞著柜臺(tái)走到顧

客面前，伸出右手表示友好，并且看著顧客的眼睛“我要感謝你們今天來(lái)這里購(gòu)物，祝

你今天過(guò)得很愉快。再見?！埃蝾櫩捅硎菊\(chéng)意，第五段，單句成段，Thenmagic

happened.對(duì)應(yīng)special也突出下文。

第35題A

主旨大意題。由于這個(gè)老收銀員的真誠(chéng)與關(guān)懷，顧客是感到無(wú)價(jià)的，所以會(huì)有越來(lái)越

多的人成為他的老主顧，B在原文中體現(xiàn)不明顯，C完全錯(cuò)誤，Devery過(guò)于絕對(duì)。

7選5閱讀答案：36-40FECBA

這篇7選5主要講了人們?yōu)槭裁从憛捀淖兒腿绾慰朔?duì)改變的害怕和憤怒，對(duì)于高一的

同學(xué)來(lái)說(shuō)是有一定難度的，要仔細(xì)分析上下文，代入選項(xiàng)，并且認(rèn)識(shí)選項(xiàng)中的固定搭

配才能全對(duì)，可能的難題是37,40o

詳細(xì)解析：

第36題F

根據(jù)前文說(shuō)人們討厭改變，并且后面的句子是順著前面的句意往下說(shuō)“所以為什么我們

覺得做調(diào)整是很困難的呢”可知，這里是要填的句子應(yīng)當(dāng)繼續(xù)順應(yīng)前面的hate,因此是F

,我們當(dāng)中有的人甚至?xí)驗(yàn)榉浅Ｐ〉母淖兌婚_心。

37題E

根據(jù)后文說(shuō)就算是自愿的改變也會(huì)讓我們不舒服可知，這里是和前文相反的情況，前

文講我們別無(wú)選擇時(shí)會(huì)生氣，因此這里要選表轉(zhuǎn)折的句子，E“就算我們確實(shí)有發(fā)言權(quán)

，我們還是會(huì)焦慮“，havea

say表示有發(fā)言權(quán)，即有決定權(quán)，照應(yīng)后面的voluntary,高一的同學(xué)不認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的

話可能會(huì)選不出這個(gè)答案。

第38題C

根據(jù)后文開始說(shuō)克服對(duì)改變的恐懼和憤怒的關(guān)鍵是靈活可知，在講解決措施，因此這

里選擇“我們要如何克服這種恐懼呢”，照應(yīng)前面的小標(biāo)題Whywedislikechange1)

第39題B

根據(jù)前文說(shuō)擁抱改變，以及下文說(shuō)有可能是最好的事，不要只是關(guān)注你對(duì)改變的感受

，而是去接受它可知，這里是作者呼吁積極面對(duì)改變，因此是B,積極的態(tài)度是很有益

的。

第40題A

根據(jù)前面說(shuō)要接受改變，后面接著說(shuō)改變到底是成功還是失敗取決于你可知，這里選A

最符合勸人接受改變的意思，“改變是現(xiàn)實(shí)“，即我們總要做出改變的，用排除法也可

選出，D,G不符合這里受改變的段意。
