When she first appeared at school, she was teased by others for being short and different. She never spoke, so they called her “mouse”. US student Vanessa Tahay stands out from the other teenagers in her school. Her skin is dark, her accent is thick, and if you ask her, she will tell you these are the things she is proudest of. Tahay is a poet, and at 18 she was considered among the best in Los Angeles.【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷題型的考查，是一篇新聞報(bào)道，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，選出正確答案。根據(jù)第五段中的“Dr Kevin Lynch, a geographer at NUT Galway, says that these occurrences are the result of hydrodynamics (流體力學(xué)) and sediment(沉積物) supply, rather than climate changes.”可知，這種現(xiàn)象是流體力學(xué)和沉積物供應(yīng)共同作用的結(jié)果。也就是2005+7=2012年回歸，故選B。第三段中的“There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again.” 當(dāng)?shù)胤絺髡f。(3)考查推理判斷。由此可推斷出Doonagh在消失了32年后又恢復(fù)了。(2)考查推理判斷?？芍?，人們對于海灘的回歸是非常興奮的。(1)考查推理判斷。林奇博士認(rèn)為Achill這兩個(gè)海灘不斷消失的原因是流體力學(xué)和沉積物供應(yīng)共同作用的結(jié)果。傳言阿什拉姆灣的海灘每七年返回一次，然后又消失。D.s disappearing.C.B.Some abnormal storms lead to ocean39。D.In 2016.B.In 1982.D.It disappeared 12 years ago.C.It is not located in Ireland.D.C.B.s reaction to the return of the Ashleam Bay beach?

Regardless of what39。 Some may be quick to believe climate changes cause the phenomenon, but that39。s going to be around for, they are making the most of the time they39。 There is local legend that stretches back hundreds of years that says this beach at Ashlcam Bay returns for a short every seven years then disappears again. But this time around it took a bit longer than that. It was last seen in 2005 and it stayed for a few months at that time before it was washed away again. Imagine waking up one day and finding that your beautiful local beach is no more—gone, its fine white sand swept away by an abnormal storm. You go about your daily business for 12 long years and then suddenly the beach is back, all its glory restored by another storm. This is what happened on the island of Achill, off the coast of Ireland, where people are celebrating the return of the beautiful Ashleam Bay beach that was taken from them in 2005.【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇社會(huì)現(xiàn)象類閱讀，要求考生準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，選出正確答案。根據(jù)最后一段中的“About 58% of international students in the US e from Asia.”可知，在美國，亞洲學(xué)生占外國學(xué)生的很大一部分。故選B。（3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。s a world out there,”可知，現(xiàn)在越來越多的美國學(xué)生來到亞洲是因?yàn)樗麄兏矚g從自己的世界去探索不同的世界。（2）考查推理判斷。（1）考查詞義猜測。D.Chinese students to America will overpass Indians in the future.C.There were 6,400 American students studying in China in 2005.D.Argentina.B.China.D.They lose confidence in Englishspeaking countries.C.They expect to get more teaching and research help.D.Multiplied.B.Changed.s a world out there,” he said.

Inside was a note saying: Thank you very much for what you did. My father has been in amazing spirits from the time you checked us in and insisted we get you a gift before we left. You have no idea how much this meant to my father and me, and we can39。 I smiled at the father and daughter in front of me. Turning to the father, I greeted him in ASL (American Sign Language) and began the bit I had learned for him. His daughter broke down crying and told me I was sweet. But the father just smiled and was so happy. Honestly, seeing his reaction was enough for me. It was absolutely worth the last few weeks of learning basic ASL. Upon seeing this note and knowing I would be the one to check them in, I decided to learn some very basic sign language. I greeted the guest in my usual fashion, asking for the surname on the booking. Once I heard the name，I immediately realized who was standing in front of me. I work as the reception manager at my hotel.【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，代詞指代，推理判斷和主旨大意四個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，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，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。s thimble.
