5,hewasinterestedincuringnotjusthispeople,butalsotheregion'secosystem.”可知,当他1985年搬到拉贾斯坦邦的阿尔瓦地区时,他不仅对他的人民,而且对该地区的生态系统都很感兴趣,由此可知,搬

多数村民都离开了家园,由此可知,大多数村民离开家乡的原因是那里的居住环境不好,故A项正确。6.B推理判断题。根据第三段中的“astrongdesiretohelpthevillagers”帮助村民的强烈愿望。及最后一段中的“hehelpsth
ousandsofpeoplesolveproblemsofwatershortage”他帮助成千上万的人解决缺水问题。由此判断出,辛格是乐于助人的;再根据第四段中的“Fortwoyears,Singhworkedtirelessly,build

cess.Localelderslaughedathim,buthecontinuedworkingwithenthusiasm.”辛格不知疲倦地工作了两年,用石头、泥土或任何可用的材料建造雨水储存池,并检查水坝,但没有取得多大成功。当地的长

hhehelpsthousandsofpeoplesolveproblemsofwatershortage.”可知,通过TBS这个非营利性组织,辛格帮助成千上万人解决了缺水问题,由此可知,TBS使许多印度村民更容易获得水了,故C项正确。Passage2Onemorningm

该句前半部分Inoticedamemptychairnexttoanelderly,unshavenman以及Hewaswearingaworn-outhat可以得出,这个老人没有刮胡子,帽子破旧,所以根据上下文的语境判断出,划线词的意思是“不整洁的”。故选B。5.C细节理解题。根据第二段I
wasconcernedthathemighthavenomoneyandnotbeabletoaffordsomethingtoeat.可知,作者担心老人没钱支付早餐。所以者给这位老人买咖啡,因为他认为这位老人很穷。故选A。6.A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Icould

拿大的机会。作者抓住这个机会并获得了一张便宜的火车票。因此ViaRailCanada公司为青少年提供的限时的火车票使作者的火车之旅成为了可能。故选C。5.D细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Afterjustanhouronthetrain,desperationalrea
dycameonme.Thethoughtofthreefulldaysonthosetracksbrokemyspirits.”可知,在火车上仅一个小时之后,作者就已经感到绝望了。一想到要在火车上呆整整三天让作者很沮丧。即作者在火车上呆了一个小时后,其旅行

eedaysturnedintoasummercamponrails.Realfriendshipswiththecrewwerebornwithinthattrain.”可知,当作者凝视苏必利尔湖畔闪闪发光的海浪时,作者决定如果要呆在这里,我需要享受我的时间。那三天变成了铁轨上的夏令营。与
乘务员的真正友谊源于那列火车。由此可知,作者想办法度过在火车上的时间,使自己充满快乐。因此“适应性强”最能恰当地描述作者。故选B。7.D细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“I’velearnedthatthejourneycanbemoreenjoya
blethanthedestination.”可知,作者明白了关注旅途中的快乐比盼望到达目的地更有趣。即作者明白了要在旅行中去探索更多的快乐。故选D。Passage4Everybodymayhavethatoneneighbor,whojustl

推断出他们并没有意识到作者的改变。故选C项。6.D推理判断题。由第四段中的“Boisatightsqueezeintheold“Christine”boxes.”(Bo是个挤在旧“Christine”盒子里的人。),可知作者的过去指的是Christine(克莉
丝汀);再有第五段中的“WhenIwasChristine,Iwasquiet,andeasilyscared.Ifearedgroups,meetingnewpeopleandsharingmyopinions.Iw
asmorecomfortablewithabookthanmybestfriend.AsChristine,IthoughteveryonewasbetterthanIwas.”(当我还是克莉丝汀的时候,我很安静,很容易害怕。我害怕团体,害怕结识新朋友,害怕分享自
己的观点。与其和好朋友待在一起,我更喜欢和书相处,这样更舒服。作为克莉丝汀,我觉得每个人都比我好。),可推断出作者过去缺乏信心、宁愿独处。故选D项。7.A主旨大意题。第一段讲昵称Christine-Bo-Bean的由来,第二段讲昵称Bo的重要性,第三段讲本名Chri
stine的自己在大家眼中是什么样的,第四到五段讲作者成为“Christine”和“Bo”的不同之处,第六到八段讲自己更喜欢Bo的身份,所以文章讲的是Bo这个真正的名字。故选A项。Passage8Si
