One January, I had to hold two funerals for two elderly women in my munity. Both had died full of years, as the Bible would say. Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence(吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon. s my fault that she died. At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, If only I hadn39。s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. It39。s dead. There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. A baby es to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone es to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not pletely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.（1）What is said about the two deceased elderly women? lived out a natural life. died of exhaustion after the long plane ride. weren39。s funerals probably because . found the funerals unsatisfactory believed that they were responsible had ignored the natural course of events didn39。 . should try to meet others39。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解?？芍?，這兩個老婦人是正常、自然死亡的。 （2）考查推理判斷?？芍?，作者信仰《圣經(jīng)》并主持葬禮，由此推出作者的身份應(yīng)為牧師。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解?？芍麄冋J(rèn)為如果自己選擇相反的做法，母親就不回去世了，認(rèn)為自己有責(zé)任。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解?？芍藗儚膵雰簳r(shí)期就意識到是他們的愿望是世界上一切發(fā)生的原因。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)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(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。Today different online exercise programs are challenging the concept of traditional fitness models. Gyms and health clubs are no longer limited to “the four walls”. Digital extensions of traditional fitness are appearing, and to reach as many people as possible, the fitness industry is expanding its boundaries through virtual (虛擬的) fitness and accepting the latest scientific findings and technological advancements in health, technology. s more, health technology is often built using principles of neuroscience, a science focused on studying the brain, Fitness Evolved, for example, focuses on stress and how you react to different stressors. This program helps you feel less threatened (受到威脅的) by targeting your specific stressors and then adjusts based on your interaction with the app. Another example is Zwift, an online multiplayer video game besed on indoor cycling. It allows you to join an online cycling group that includes members from over 150 countries. BitGym is also a smart virtual fitness app. As you train, you39。健身房和健身俱樂部不再局限于“四壁”。作者對此進(jìn)行了舉例說明。根據(jù)第二段中的“This program helps you feel less threatened (受到威脅的) by targeting your specific stressors and then adjusts based on your interaction with the app.”可知，在第二段中提到Fitness Evolved的目的是為了展示衛(wèi)生技術(shù)是如何構(gòu)建的。 （2）考查詞義猜測。由此推知，劃線詞的意思是“利益，好處”，故選B。根據(jù)最后一段中的“BitGym is also a smart virtual fitness app.”可知，你會接觸到虛擬的自然美景。 （4）考查推理判斷。故選C。8．閱讀理解 Environmental groups were quick to respond to Tierney by issuing reports detailing the benefits of recycling and showing how municipal (市政的) recycling programs reduce pollution and the use of resources while decreasing the amount of garbage and the need for landfill space — all for less, not more, than the cost of regular garbage collection and disposal(處置). 160
