n both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure. I walked on and on for what seemed like hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear to turn around and head back home but I was stubborn and even a bit stupid, so I walked on. The dirt road give way to a rock one and then a paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn39。t want to end up trapped on this road in the dark of night, but I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve(彎曲處) and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. I knew the way home! It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner. I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said, “All roads lead Home.” This is true. In this life all roads no matter what their twists(彎曲) and turns are can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our heart, if we can insist.(1)Why was the author never bored when he was a boy? there was still a TV. he liked hiking alone. there were so many playgrounds built for him. he had so many places around his house to play.(2)What made the author decide to take the old road? it before. it was a muddy road. a new and special experience. it had deep woods on both sides.(3)How did the author feel when he saw a known house in the distance? ....(4)Why did the author mention the sign? share a famous saying with readers. introduce what he wanted to say. explain the function of the sign. prove the significance of the sign.【答案】 (1)D(2)C(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】這是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。文章通過自己的親身經(jīng)歷,說明了所有的路,最終都是回家的路。 (1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。答案定位在第一段Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my house were the nature readymade ,故選D。 (2)推理判斷題。答案定位在第二段It was full of holes and muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.(它到處都是洞和泥濘的小路,兩邊都是茂密的樹林,但探索它仍然像是一場美妙的冒險。)由此可見嘗試一種新的和特殊的體驗使作者決定走這條老路,故選C。 (3)推理判斷題。答案定位在倒數(shù)第二段It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud.(那是一所我認(rèn)得的房子。我的心跳了起來!我跳上跳下,放聲大笑。)由此推斷出作者看到遠(yuǎn)處有一所熟悉的房子時感覺非常激動,故選A。 (4)推理判斷題。最后一段I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said, “All roads lead Home.” This is true. In this life all roads no matter what their twists(彎曲) and turns are can lead us home again. They can lead us to our homes here on Earth. They can lead us to our homes in our heart, if we can insist.(我記得最近見過的一則標(biāo)語是這樣說的:“所有的路都是回家的路。”此言不虛,這輩子所有的路不管怎樣迂回曲折,最終都會引導(dǎo)著我們回家,有的是回到這里,回到我們物質(zhì)層面的家,有的是回到我們心靈的家園。)由此推斷出作者提到這則標(biāo)語是為了介紹他想說的話,故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查, 是一篇夾敘夾議的文章,閱讀時在首段可以確定文章的主題句,答題時通過題干中的關(guān)鍵詞在文章中定位,然后分析相關(guān)信息,從而確定與題干相符的選項。8.閱讀理解 A new study suggests a link between exposure to greenery and reduced desires for alcohol cigarette and junk food. The study is the first to investigate the possible relationships between exposure to nature and desires and negative emotions. Researchers at the University of Plymouth39。s School of Psychology surveyed 149 respondents (應(yīng)答者) aged 21 o 65 about the proportion( 比例 )of green space in their neighborhood, the presence of green views from their home, their access to a garden and how often they use public green space. The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety, as well as desires for things like caffeine, alcohol and nicotine. Participants rated the intensity( 強(qiáng)度), imagery, and intrusiveness(侵?jǐn)_性) of their desires on an 11point scale. Researchers found the presence of visible green space contributed to decreased desires for junk food. The effect was particularly noticeable when more than 25 percent of a respondent39。s view was greenery. Previous scholarship(學(xué)術(shù)研究) has dealt mostly with exercise in nature: A 2015 study out of the University of Michigan found 90 minute group nature walks were effective at batting depression and relieving other mood disorders. But for people who struggle with accessibility or don39。t have time for a 90minute walk, this new study suggests just looking out a window at a tree can help fight off a bad habit. It has been known for some time that being outdoors in nature is linked to a person39。s wellbeing, lead author Leanne Martin said in a statement. But for there to be a similar association with desires from simply being able to see green space adds a new dimension to the previous research. A 2018 study from Denmark39。s Aarhus University for example, found that. Having access to green space throughout childhood decreased a person39。s risk of developing mental health problems as an adult.(1)What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? results of the new study. purpose of the new study. significance of the new study. content of the new study.(2)What does the underlined word batting in paragraph 4 probably mean? ...(3)According to the passage, the new study _____. referred to exercise in nature enriched the previous research to some degree carried out by the University of Michigan exposure to greenery helped cure mental problems(4)n which section of a newspaper may this passage appear? World amp。Science【答案】 (1)D(2)A(3)B(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了一項新的研究成果多看綠色植物和吃垃圾食品這兩者看似風(fēng)馬牛不相及,可研究結(jié)構(gòu)卻表明它們之間存在著一種奇妙的關(guān)系:多看綠色植物能幫助人們克制吃垃圾食品的欲望。 (1)考查段落大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“Researchers …surveyed 149 respondents aged 21 o 65 about the proportion of green space in their neighborhood…”研究人員調(diào)查了年齡在21~65歲之間的149名參與者小區(qū)內(nèi)的綠植比例……;以及“The study also asked questions about experiences with depression and anxiety…”研究中還問了與抑郁及焦慮有關(guān)的問題……等可知,第二段主要介紹了新研究的調(diào)查內(nèi)容,故選D。 (2)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)常識可知,在大自然中散步對人體有各種各樣的好處,再結(jié)合句中出現(xiàn)的“relieving other mood disorders(緩解其他情緒紊亂)”不難推斷出, batting depression應(yīng)表示“減輕抑郁”。故選A。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“…adds a new dimension(方面) to the previous research”為以前的研究增加了新的方面,可知,新的研究在某種程度上豐富了之前的研究成果。故選B。 (4)考查推理判斷??v觀全文可知,本文介紹了一項科學(xué)研究的研究成果,所以該文章最有可能出現(xiàn)在“技術(shù)與科學(xué)”版塊。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測,推理判斷和段落大意四個題型的考查,是一篇科研類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,
