【正文】 nt officer asked me to interview a young man who was having trouble finding a job. He told me that David was a little shy, did not talk much and was afraid to go on with interviews. He requested that I give David an interview just for practice. He plainly told David that I had no positions open at the time and the interview was just for practice. When David came in for the interview, he hardly said a word. I told him what we did at the bicycle shop and showed him around. I told David to keep showing up because the number one thing an employer wanted in an associate was dependability. David was very quiet (he was evaluated as a slow learner in school).Every ten days or so, for weeks after the interview, David walked into the bicycle shop and stood by the front door. He never said a word, just stood by the door. One day, shortly before Christmas, a large truck came to the shop, packed with 250 new bicycles. It had to be unloaded right away or the driver would leave. It was raining. Some of my workers (without physical limitations) chose not to brave the weather to get into work, so I was shorthanded. It seemed everything was going wrong and on top of it, David came in the front door and just stood there. I looked at him and shouted,“Well, all right! Fill out a time card and help me unload this truck!” David worked for my bicycle shop for eighteen years. He came to work every day thirty minutes early. He could talk。 however, he rarely chose to. He drove my truck and made deliveries. The customers would praise David, saying,“He doesn39。t talk, but he really shows you how to operate a lawn mower!”（1）The author gave David an interview to . A.find a person who is reliableB.give him some practiceC.find a parttime worker in needD.show sympathy for him（2）The author finally hired David because . A.he needed someone who was willing to work thenB.there were no other workers in the shop thenC.David kept showing upD.he realized David was dependable（3）We can infer from the last paragraph that . A.some customers just play jokes on DavidB.David has had his character changed through workC.the author feels lucky to hire DavidD.the author prefers David to be more outgoing【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文，David是作者的一位雇員,雖然他不善言辭,但勤懇踏實的工作態(tài)度贏得了顧客的贊美。他也讓作者明白:作者的伙伴們和作者一樣都不完美,但卻很優(yōu)秀。在跟他們一起工作的日子里,作者學(xué)會了寬恕、理解和耐心。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二中的“He requested that I give David an interview just for practice.”可知,他要求作者給David進行一次面試,僅僅只是為了練習(xí)。故選B。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段可知,當裝滿250輛新自行車的大卡車冒雨到達時,一些工人不愿在這樣的天氣情況下工作,因此人手短缺。這時作者正好看到David進來,于是叫他過來幫忙。結(jié)合最后一段可知,David從此開始在這里工作了。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段可知，David在作者的店里勤勤懇懇工作了十八年,還受到了顧客的贊揚。由此可推知,作者感覺很幸運能有這樣的員工。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。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( 強度), imagery, and intrusiveness(侵擾性) 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。縱觀全文可知，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
