【正文】 ment bodies achieve at the meeting held in Versailles? will e up with seven new SI units. will set May 20th as a new international festival. will redefine four SI units including the kilogram. will decide on a new measure used in the laboratory.【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）A（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，法國凡爾賽宮舉辦的國際計量大會，將對目前使用的國際單位制中的四個基本單位進行重新定義，其中包括對千克的重新定義。根據(jù)第一段中的“man has been the measure of many, if not all, things ”以及下文提到的用作計量單位的手、腳、谷物重量和參考角豆種子重量的磅可知，本段主要講述了不同的東西被用作計量單位。 （2）考查推理判斷。s foot ...around a centimetre shorter than the Belgic foot”和“Greek, Egyptian and Babylonian versions of water in a fixed container varied from one another by a few kilos,以及The lieue (former measure of distance), for example, varied from just over 3 km in the north to nearly 6 km in the south”可推知，本段作者主要運用了對比的寫作方法，把同一計量單位在不同國家之間或者在同一國家不同區(qū)域間的差異進行了說明。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。me International d39。s (SI, or the metric system, as it is better known)developed from it and became the official measurement in all countries except Myanmar, Liberia and the United States ”可知，在所給出的四個國家中，只有法國采用國際單位制(SI)。故選A。根據(jù)最后一段中的“At a meeting in Versailles, France, on November 16th, 2018, the world39。故選C。2．犇犇閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 The clock always seems to be ticking rather too fast in the doctor39。s high time for the model of short, sharp onetoone appointments to give way to shared medical appointments (SMAs共享醫(yī)療預(yù)約). However, doctors who have pioneered the shared appointment approach report that there are significant challenges involved. Dr. Sumego, director of shared medical appointments, Cleveland Clinic, identifies culture change as the most significant challenge. Physicians and nurses are trained in a model of personal service and privacy。 So, if an organization was looking to start shared medical appointments, I would advise them to start the buyin from a few champion physicians, develop the workflow and develop some experience. Provide some support behind what that best practice should look like. Create some standards so that, as the concept spreads, you can employ that experience to start the next shared medical appointments and the next.（1）What is the purpose of the SMA approach? A.To promote doctors39。To conduct medical research.D. expectation.（2）According to Dr. Sumego, what prevents the SMA approach from being widely adopted? A.Fixed ideas.C.Shared goals.（3）What can the underlined buyin in Paragraph 4 be replaced by? A.B.C.D.It is currently being questioned.B.It will enjoy wide popularity soon.D. （1）考查推理判斷。這說明SAMs的出現(xiàn)是為患者提供更好的醫(yī)療服務(wù)。 （2）考查推理判斷。 the SMA approach is a fundamental challenge to those fixed ideas.”可知Dr. Sumego認為，文化轉(zhuǎn)變是最大的醫(yī)生和護士接受的是針對個人服務(wù)和隱私的培訓(xùn)。也就是說，改變這些已經(jīng)固定的想法是一種挑戰(zhàn)，所以這些固定的想法會阻礙SMAs模式的推廣，故選B。根據(jù)最后一段中的“if an organization was looking to start shared medical appointments，I would advise them to start the buyin from a few champion physicians”可知如果一個組織要尋求共享醫(yī)療模式的話，Dr. Sumego建議他們從一些優(yōu)秀的醫(yī)師開始他們的buyin，根據(jù)語境，故選A。根據(jù)最后一段中的“So, if an organization was looking to start shared medical appointments, I would advise them to start the buyin from a few champion physicians, develop the… appointments and the next.”可知如果一個組織要開始SMAs，Dr. Sumego建議他們從一些優(yōu)秀的醫(yī)師開始，開發(fā)一些流程，積累一些經(jīng)驗。這說明SMAs的實施需要一步一步來，不會一步到位。 【點評】本題考點涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇介紹類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。 According to a recent study, a new genetically modified rice can prevent infections of HIV, the virus responsible for the disease AIDS. The Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS reports that worldwide, nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017. The organization says the largest number of those are in developing countries. Nearly twothirds of HIV cases are in Africa. Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDS though there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of the disease. They say the easiest and most costeffective way to use the rice will be to make it into a cream to be put on the skin. The HIVfighting proteins can then enter the body through the skin. People all over the world could grow the rice and make the cream themselves. This would prevent the cost and travel required for many patients to receive treatments and medicine.Stress the urgency of HIV treatments.B.Remind readers of HIV prevention.D.By transforming it into proteins.B.By attaching it to the HIV virus.D.It can prevent infections of HIV.B.It still requires perfecting.D.A biology textbook.B.A social webpage.D.研究人員表示，這一“突破性”的發(fā)現(xiàn)是“現(xiàn)在唯一的”以低成本為發(fā)展中國家生產(chǎn)抗艾滋病毒聯(lián)合治療的方法，但還有待于進一步的完善。根據(jù)第三段中的“nearly 37 million people were living with HIV in 2017.... Now there is no cure for HIV/AIDS though there have been developments in oral drug treatments to slow the progression of the disease” 可知，“2017年全世界有近3700萬人感染艾滋病毒。由此可推斷出對于艾滋病的治療迫在眉睫，非常緊迫。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。“the most costeffective”與“the lowest cost”是同義詞，“make it into a cream”與“process it into a cream”是同義的。 （3）考查推理判斷。由此可推斷這種基因工程的過程還需要進一步的完善。 （4）考查推理判斷。因此與人類的健康有關(guān)，所以本文可能是出現(xiàn)在健康雜志上，故選B。4．犇犇閱讀理解 But where do these phonemes e from and why do they shift over time?
