可知,“尽管Graceanne也惊慌失措,但还是采取了行动”。19.选G根据上句中的“pulledthebussafelytothesideoftheroad”及下句中的parents可知,Graceanne安全停车后,“乘客们下了车
与感激的家人团聚”。20.选A根据上句中的“youhavetohavesomespecialskillthatgoesaboveandbeyondwhatordinarypeoplehave”及下句中的“anyonecanbecomeahero”可知,人们对于英雄的“看法发生了
改变”,不再认为英雄必须具有超越普通人的能力,而是认为任何人都能成为英雄。position在这里表示“观点,看法”。[读写一体超值训练]读后语基练习——复现考纲词汇,增分书面表达一、语篇复现词汇——让你用对写美1.Itnotonlygaveusachancetogetcloseto

about?A.iPads.B.Littlethings.C.Deliciousfood.D.Interestingthings.解析:选B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Thearguments—overafork,orw

孩子们习惯了电子设备的陪伴,认为真正的人际交往也是如此,随时随地有人陪伴,因此他们会受不了孤单。Ⅱ.阅读七选五BreakingbadreadinghabitsAreyoueagertobecomeafasterreader?Readingfasterisn'taboutfi

语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。通过照顾得癌症的姑姑,“我”不仅改变了原先对老人和病人的看法,而且认识到人都会有需要帮助的时候,无论是身体上还是精神上。16.选D结合第一段中的“forgetthings”和“Simpletas
ksbecameachallengeforher.”以及本空后面的“然后她接受化疗和放疗”可知,D项“经过几次检查,我们被告知她得了脑癌”符合语境。三者之间是顺承关系。17.选G根据本空前面的“Afterschool,I
wouldgotomygrandmother'shomeuntilmymomgotoffwork.”可锁定G项中的“Duringthistime”,本空后面的“我开始帮忙做饭和陪姑姑聊天”是对G项“在这段时间里,奶奶开始让
我帮她照顾姑姑”的补充说明。18.选A联系本空前面的“As...webeganassisting...”和本空后面的“AfterawhileIbegan...”可锁定A项中的“Next”,空处与前后句为时间上的顺
承关系,故A项“接着我被要求帮忙给她洗澡”符合此处语境。本空后的This即指代帮姑姑洗澡。19.选F根据本空后面的“someonewhowassickorwhocouldnotlookafterthemselves”可锁定F项中的“oldpeop
le”和“thesick”,“过去我认为自己没勇气帮助病人或不能自理的人”是对前面“这一经历改变了我对老人和病人的看法”的补充说明。20.选E根据本空前面的“ahugeeyeopener”可锁定E项中的“Irealized”,“看到曾经强壮的、对生活充满热情的人病倒
并需要帮助的时候,我有了新的认识。我意识到我们所有人在生活中都会需要帮助,无论是身体上还是精神上”。[读写一体超值训练]读后语基练习——复现考纲词汇,增分书面表达一、语篇复现词汇——让你用对写美1.Wespottedthemwavi

hedidn'timproveherworkperformance.D.Shedidn'tpayenoughattentiontoherinjury.解析:选D推理判断题。由第六段开头的“Agoodfriendofminecriticizedmeforbeingsobusy
thatIwasgettinginmyownwayofhealing.”及下文朋友的问话可推断,朋友批评作者是因为她觉得作者没有足够重视自己的脚伤,导致病情迟迟未能好转。6.WhatdidtheauthorrealizeinJuly?
A.Sheshouldtrytobeirreplaceable.B.Thereisnosuchthingaswork-lifebalance.C.Sheneedn'tkeepherselfoccupiedwithwork.D.Workinghardforthingsweloveiscalledp
assion.解析:选C细节理解题。由倒数第二段可知,由于七月份作者家事较多,她不得不暂停工作,但工作本身并未因她而受到影响。这使她意识到她不必始终忙于工作,并开始想要留些时间享受生活。7.Whydidn'ttheauthorsaysorrytohe
rfriendaccordingtothelastparagraph?A.Sheknewitwasnotherfault.B.Sheadmiredherfriendforhersuccess.C.Shewastiredofherfriend'sc
omplaints.D.Sherealizedherfrienddidn'tneedcomfort.解析:选D推理判断题。由文章末的“ButthenIrealizedthatshe—muchlikeme—woreherbusynessasabadgeofpride.Anapologywasn

childhood.C.Humans'developedmind.D.Humans'closerelationship.解析:选B细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“thereasonhumanscryemotionaltearshastodowi
thourprolonged(延长的)childhood”可知,该科学家认为,人类会流情绪化的眼泪与人类漫长的童年时期有关。在孩童时代,孩子们渐渐学会利用眼泪博取成年人的同情进而获得关爱和帮助。15.Inpr
ehistorictimes,humansweremorelikelyto________.A.cryaloneB.cryloudlyC.crysilentlyD.crytogether解析:选C推理判断题。由最后一段中的“inprehistorictimes...Loudc
ryingcouldattractpredators(捕食者).Tearswereasaferwaytogetattention...itisbettertouseasilentsignaltoaskforhelp”可推断,在史前
时代,人类为了避免招来捕食的动物,不敢大声哭,而是默默流泪,从而引起他人的关注并获得帮助。Ⅱ.阅读七选五Can'tdoapull-up?It'seasy!Pull-upsseemlikeabasicmovement,yetforsome,liftingthechin(下巴)aboveabare
