11、g a trip to the gym.”可知， 說(shuō)明性圖片使Fitness提供的信息更容易理解。故選D項(xiàng)。 B (2019·昆明摸底測(cè)試)When she was found off the coast of California four years ago, the fur seal, known as Ziggy Star, was skinny and fragile. She was unfit to return to the wild. And though a professional rescue team took her in to care for her, Zi

12、ggy continued to decline.“I wouldn’t have given her next week，” says Uriarte, a surgeon who led a recent first-of-its-kind brain operation on the seal. The operation was the first of its kind to treat hydrocephalus in fur seals. The surgical team at Tufts was unable to find any documented evidence

13、of a similar procedure, so they needed a lot of preparation to operate on Ziggy’s brain. The biggest concern in operating on Ziggy was how to control the animal’s anesthesia(麻醉)．“When they’re under anesthesia, their body’s reaction includes decreasing their heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing，

14、”says Flower, who observes Ziggy and the other animals’ care, describing the special challenges of operating on seals. On the day of the surgery, Flower says that she and her team “were all quite anxious not knowing what would happen”. Moving quickly was extremely important; the longer she was under

15、 anesthesia, the more likely that she could lose her breathing, says the surgeon. The seal has been kept on land to prevent water from entering the cut on her head. Now, Ziggy is eating a full diet and is beginning to gain weight again.“Recently I’ve allowed her to go swimming，” says Flower. Howeve

16、r, the source of Ziggy’s neurological disorder(神經(jīng)紊亂) is still a mystery.“My theory is that when she was found, she had a head injury，”Uriarte says.“Hit by a boat maybe...That happens a lot with seals.” Flower is less willing to guess.“I don’t think there’s enough information to make that assumption.

17、 We just don’t know what happened to her.” 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　本文是一篇記敘文。Ziggy Star是一只在加利福尼亞海岸被發(fā)現(xiàn)的非常瘦弱的海豹，因?yàn)閆iggy有腦積水，醫(yī)生為她進(jìn)行了手術(shù)，她現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)能夠正常進(jìn)食，體重也在逐步恢復(fù)，但究竟是什么導(dǎo)致了她的神經(jīng)紊亂，這依舊是一個(gè)謎。 4．When first found, Ziggy Star looked ________． A．thin and weak B．a(chǎn)ctive and excited C．bloody and fierce D．strong and energetic A　解析：

18、細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句“When she was found off the coast of California four years ago, the fur seal, known as Ziggy Star, was skinny and fragile.”中的skinny(極瘦的)和fragile(虛弱的)可知A項(xiàng)正確。 5．What was the most challenging task on the day of the operation? A．Helping the seal regain her breathing. B．Using anesthesia

19、properly on the seal. C．Making full preparations for the operation. D．Balancing the functions of the seal’s organs. B　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干中的關(guān)鍵詞是the most challenging task(最有挑戰(zhàn)性的任務(wù))，據(jù)此定位到第二段中的“The biggest concern in operating on Ziggy was how to control the animal’s anesthesia(麻醉)．”，由此可知，手術(shù)最大的挑戰(zhàn)是如何控制麻醉，所以選B

20、。 6．What can we learn about Ziggy after the operation? A．She is strong enough to live in the wild. B．She is suffering from a heart rate disorder. C．She has already become as heavy as before. D．She is recovering from the brain operation. D　解析：推理判斷題。題干的關(guān)鍵詞是after the operation，據(jù)此定位到文章最后一段第一句“Now,

21、 Ziggy is eating a full diet and is beginning to gain weight again.”，由此可知，手術(shù)后，海豹已經(jīng)能夠正常進(jìn)食，體重也在恢復(fù)，所以選D。 7．What is probably the author’s purpose in writing the text? A．To show humans’ love for a creature. B．To find out a way to operate on a seal. C．To remember an injured seal in danger. D．To explo

22、re the reasons for a seal’s injury. A　解析：寫(xiě)作意圖題。作者在文章中介紹了拯救受傷海豹的過(guò)程，旨在說(shuō)明人們對(duì)于動(dòng)物的愛(ài)護(hù)，所以選A。 C (2019·河北五個(gè)一名校聯(lián)考)Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regrets, lost opportunities, mistakes, and d

23、isappointment. My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was someth

24、ing minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding(襯墊) on to the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avo

25、id “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had forgone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holida

26、y for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t miss an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all. I know there will still be occasions when I have to say

27、“if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know t

28、hat I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being. 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　 “我” 認(rèn)為英語(yǔ)中最悲傷的兩個(gè)詞是 “if only”，因?yàn)樗鼈儽磉_(dá)了遺憾。父親在 “我” 小時(shí)候經(jīng)常告訴我們花費(fèi)額外的時(shí)間也要把事情做好來(lái)避免遺憾， “我” 聽(tīng)從父親的建議并認(rèn)為這樣做是對(duì)的。 8．Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest w

29、ords in the English language? A．Because people use them when they feel sad. B．Because they express regrets and disappointment in life. C．Because they remind the writer of some sad experiences. D．Because they mean sadness in the English language. B　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段中的“Two of the saddest words in the

30、 English language are ‘if only’．.. because they convey regrets, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.”可知， “我” 認(rèn)為英語(yǔ)中最令人傷心的兩個(gè)詞是 “if only”，因?yàn)檫@兩個(gè)詞表達(dá)了后悔、錯(cuò)失的機(jī)會(huì)、錯(cuò)誤和失望。故選B項(xiàng)。 9．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “forgone” in Paragraph 3? A．Given up. B．Come across. C．Got through. D．Hel

31、d back. A　解析：詞義猜測(cè)題。該詞所在的句子表達(dá)的意思是：我們都認(rèn)識(shí)這樣的人，他們?cè)谑ニ鶒?ài)之人后會(huì)后悔錯(cuò)失了說(shuō) “我愛(ài)你” 或 “我原諒你” 的機(jī)會(huì)。所以畫(huà)線(xiàn)詞表示 “失去了”，和短語(yǔ)give up意思接近。故選A項(xiàng)。 10．The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ________． A．see a doctor B．finish her work C．join a celebration D．a(chǎn)ccompany her father D　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題干中的關(guān)鍵信息 “decided to

32、 go to her office” 對(duì)應(yīng)原文中的“I had decided to go to work”，由此定位到倒數(shù)第二段。從倒數(shù)第二段可以看出， “我” 知道父親要去自己辦公室對(duì)面看眼科醫(yī)生時(shí)，本來(lái)打算按原計(jì)劃休假，但突然意識(shí)到父親已經(jīng)84歲了，所以 “我” 決定即便是自己的休息日，為了陪父親，也會(huì)去上班。故選D項(xiàng)。 11．What is the best title for the passage? A．Advice from My Father B．Avoidance of Saying “If Only” C．The “Extra Minute” Rule D．Th

33、e Importance of Emotional Well-being B　解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)首尾段的第一句話(huà)及文章大意可知，本文主要是針對(duì)避免說(shuō)英語(yǔ)中最悲傷的兩個(gè)詞 “if only” 進(jìn)行闡述的，所以B項(xiàng) “避免說(shuō)‘if only’” 符合全文內(nèi)容。故選B項(xiàng)。 D (2019·惠州調(diào)研)Following the crowd may not always be in a person’s best interest.But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up h

34、ealthier as adults. Scientists have known that close friendships help boost health.That’s true for both teens and adults. The finding inspired Joseph Allen, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, and his team to study whether experiences during teen years would influence adult health. So th

35、ey followed 171 teens, starting when the kids were just 13. They interviewed each one every year for five years, and also spoke to these teens’ closest friends，who provided additional information about the quality of their friendships.The same 171 people were interviewed again at ages 25, 26 and 27.

36、 This time, the questions surveyed each person’s overall health. When the researchers analyzed the data, they found a strong connection between a teen’s behavior and adult health. Teens who had close friends grew up to be the healthier adults. Whether teens held back their feelings or expressed them

37、 to close friends also influenced later health. Those who held back their feelings were more likely to be sick as adults. The connection held up even after the scientists accounted for other possible influences on health.Weight, family income and drug use were all examined. So were mental health iss

38、ues，such as anxiety and depression. And in these people, such other factors did not explain adult health as well as teen friendships did. “Getting along with the crowd may have benefits，” says Allen, “but there are also drawbacks. Teens who are more independent tend to do better at school and work.

39、 And peer pressure may lead some kids to engage in risky behavior, such as smoking, drinking or using drugs. Dealing with it is an ongoing challenge，” Allen acknowledges. “Finding the right balance is the key. Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.” And, he adds, “Parents need to be u

40、nderstanding about the pressures teens face.” 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　研究表明，與朋友較少或者沒(méi)有朋友的青少年相比，有朋友的青少年在長(zhǎng)大后更健康。當(dāng)然，與朋友相處有時(shí)也有壞處。 12．Where can you probably read this passage? A．Science fiction. B．Health column. C．Fashion magazine. D．Entertainment newspaper. B　解析：文章出處題。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹青少年時(shí)的友誼對(duì)青少年成年后健康的影響。據(jù)此可知，本文屬于健康知識(shí)

41、類(lèi)文章，故可判斷，本文可能選自 “健康專(zhuān)欄”。故B項(xiàng)正確。 13．We can learn from Allen’s study that________． A．many other factors have a greater influence on adult health than teen friendships B．mental health issues have nothing to do with adult health C．the same 171 teens were interviewed each year from 13 to 27 D．the teen

42、s who couldn’t express themselves grew up to be unhealthier D　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Whether teens held back...sick as adults.”可知，青少年是否向他們的好朋友表達(dá)情感也會(huì)影響到其成年后的健康，那些壓抑情感的青少年成年后很可能不健康。故D項(xiàng)正確。 14．According to what Allen said, we can know that________． A．in order to do better at school, teens should not follow

43、 the crowd B．though it’s challenging for teens to deal with peer pressure, they should not give up C．teens will engage in smoking, drinking or using drugs when facing peer pressure D．parents should understand their teens and stop them going with friends B　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段內(nèi)容可知，與朋友相處使得青少年在成年后更加健康的

44、同時(shí)也會(huì)帶來(lái)不利影響，即周?chē)g人帶來(lái)的壓力，這些壓力會(huì)導(dǎo)致許多問(wèn)題。分析Allen的話(huà)“Finding the right balance is the key.Teens shouldn’t lose heart for not finding this easy.”可以判斷，青少年要應(yīng)對(duì)這些壓力，找到正確的平衡點(diǎn)是關(guān)鍵，不能因?yàn)楹茈y找到平衡點(diǎn)就灰心喪氣。故B項(xiàng)正確。 15．What can be inferred from the passage? A．There is nothing bad for teens to follow the crowd. B．Close frien

45、dships are the most important for people’s health. C．Teen friendships may help teens become healthier adults. D．Adult health is only influenced by teen friendships. C　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段第二句“But new research suggests that teens who get along with their friends may end up healthier as adults.”可知，與朋友相處

46、的青少年在成年后會(huì)更加健康。C項(xiàng)意為“青少年時(shí)期的友誼會(huì)幫助青少年成為更加健康的成年人”，符合文章意思。故C項(xiàng)正確。 七選五 (2019·長(zhǎng)沙模擬)With today’s stressful lifestyles, it’s important to have time that you spend doing something just for the fun of it.
