Prevents Reading from Dying Unites Worldwide Booklovers: The Best New App Creation: Big Ideas in Small Packages【答案】 （1）A（2）D（3）B（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了一種閱讀方式：iReader。它開創(chuàng)了一種新的閱讀方式，已經(jīng)有超過900萬的用戶享受到了這種好處，同時也正改變著英國人的閱讀方式。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。第一段中的“Almost none of us have the time to read everything we39。d like to read.”幾乎沒有人有時間讀我們想讀的所有東西；以及最后一段中的“What if we could turn these little blocks of unoccupied time into precious and rewarding moments for learning and reflection?”可知作者認(rèn)為我們應(yīng)該把空閑的時間變成寶貴的、有價值的學(xué)習(xí)和反思的時間，即作者建議我們利用空閑時間來閱讀和思考，故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“There are now more ways for the British to read than ever before, due to the widespread use of ebooks and audio books.”可知由于電子書和有聲書的廣泛使用，英國人現(xiàn)在有了比以往更多的閱讀方式。即從PRC的發(fā)現(xiàn)中我們能得知新的書籍形式正在改變英國人的閱讀方式。故選D。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“The way the content is edited has been specifically designed to ensure it is useful in practice.”可知iReader通過使得目錄有助于實踐來讓內(nèi)容更容易記住，故選B。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段中的“iReader gives you the biggest ideas in the shortest possible time. It transforms great ideas into little packs you can listen to or read in just 15 minutes.”可知iReader能在最短的時間內(nèi)給你最大的想法。它把偉大的想法轉(zhuǎn)化成小包裝，你可以在15分鐘內(nèi)聽或讀。再結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容可知，文章主要是說明了iReader這種新的閱讀方式是小包裝里的大創(chuàng)意，故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 Imagine your body is like the house you live in. Every day, your family creates rubbish. The rubbish builds up until it is put out for the weekly garbage collection. Now, say you put three bags of garbage out, but because one of the collectors was away sick, only two bags are collected. You take the leftover bag inside to be put out again next week. The following week you put out another three bags, plus the leftover bag from last week. But again, only two bags are collected. Imagine this cycle is repeated over the following weeks. This is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys (腎) don39。t work efficiently. Your body is not thoroughly emptied of waste products. Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins. It39。s not unmon for people to lose up to 90 percent of their kidney function before developing any symptoms. There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection(診察) difficult. Kidney39。s main job is to remove toxins (毒素) and unwanted water from our blood. Every day our kidneys clean an average of 200 litres of blood. Kidney failure may be a gradual and silent process, going unnoticed because there is no apparent pain. Research shows that more than 25 percent of patients found to require dialysis (透析) do not see a kidney specialist until less than 90 days before dialysis starts. Some risk factors for kidney disease such as age and genetic makeup are out of our control。 however, some changes in lifestyle may help prevent kidney damage. Two major risk factors for kidney disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, have been on the rise over the last few decades. Both conditions are chiefly affected by being overweight and not getting enough exercise, which are the potential factors for the disease.（1）The author gives the example of the house we live in to indicate that ________. A.it39。s safe and harmless for our body to keep some wasteB.it doesn39。t matter much if the waste in our body is not emptied in timeC.it39。s important for our body to empty the waste in time every dayD.our body will not produce any waste if our kidneys work efficiently（2）The underlined word insidious (in Paragraph 3) means ________. A.gradual and unnoticedB.apparent and fastC.smooth and safeD.painful and long（3）We can infer that when we find some symptoms related to our kidneys, ________. A.the kidney failure beginsB.the kidneys may have been seriously damagedC.we have lost about 10 percent of kidney functionD.the kidneys can still work properly（4）How many factors of kidney disease are mentioned in the passage? A.Three.B.Four.C.Five.D.Six.（5）Which of the following helps prevent kidney damage? A.Go to see a kidney specialist shortly before dialysis starts.B.Go to see a kidney specialist whenever you find any warning sign.C.Try to keep low blood pressure and a stable lifestyle.D.Take enough exercise and make early detection of kidney disease.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）B（4）D（5）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了腎臟出現(xiàn)問題的原因，以及巨大危害，分析了腎臟問題出現(xiàn)的重要因素，并指出如何預(yù)防腎病。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)一二段的內(nèi)容，以及第三段中的“This is a simple description of what happens to your body when your kidneys (腎) don39。t work efficiently.”可推斷，作者列舉家庭處理垃圾情況的主要目的是讓我們明白身體和家一樣需要及時處理垃圾，不然對身體有害。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第三段中的“Other areas of the body such as blood pressure and red blood cell production are affected and the insidious process that may lead to kidney failure begins.”和第四段中的“There may be no warning signs.”可知，腎功能的變化是由身體其它變化引起的，是一個漸變的過程，而且這個變化沒有任何警示，故推測劃線詞的意思是“逐漸的/慢慢的，無法察覺的”。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“It39。s not unmon for people to lose up to 90 percent of their kidney function before developing any symptoms. There may be no warning signs.”可知，90%的癥狀在被確診之前是看不出來的，而且沒有任何的預(yù)警，故推測當(dāng)人們發(fā)現(xiàn)腎病癥狀時，腎可能已經(jīng)嚴(yán)重受損。故選B。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的age and genetic makeup, diabetes and high blood pressure, overweight and not getting enough exercise,衰老，基因組成，糖尿病，高血壓，超重和不運動,可知，這六項都是導(dǎo)致腎病的原因。故選D。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“There may be no warning signs. This makes early detection(診察) difficult.” 和第六段中的“Both
