UNIT1LIFECHOICES組合練(一)Ⅰ.【語篇導讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了孩子們選擇好朋友的方法,家長們在其中可以發揮的作用以及童年時期的親密關系對孩子們今后成長的重大意義。1.B細節理解題。根據第二段中“Aschildren,wetendtotreatthem...asfamiliarasourown”可知,孩子們往往把自己最好的朋友們視為一個大家庭中的成員,并且對彼此的家庭都非常熟悉。2.C細節理解題。根據第三段中“Childrenoftenhaveapragmaticviewoffriendship,formingclosebondswithpeersintheplaygroundorclassroom”可知,孩子們對友誼的看法通常非常務實,他們往往在操場上或者教室里與同齡人建立起密切的聯系。3.D細節理解題。根據第三段中“Closefriendshipsinchildhoodhelpkidspracticetheskillstheyneed...loneliness,jealousyandfrustration”可知,孩子們童年時期的親密友誼有助于他們在今后的人生中練習親密關系所需要的技能。他們不斷了解他人與自己,從而處理孤獨、嫉妒、挫折等情緒問題。4.A文章大意題。本文主要段落為三、四兩段,第三段主要介紹了孩子們往往通過采用“愛你身邊的人”的方式來選擇自己的朋友,第四段主要介紹了父母幫助孩子建立親密友誼的方式。所以,本文主要講述的是童年時期的友誼是如何建立的。【語篇導讀】本文是一篇新聞報道。文章主要介紹了布里斯托爾大學將為學生提供快樂方面的課程。5.D細節理解題。根據第一段中的“Theuniversityisofferingthe12-weekcoursetostudentsfromalluniversitydisciplinesnextyear,whichwillcounttowards20oftheir120creditpointsfortheirfirstyearoncampus.”可知,在關于快樂的課程中大一新生將會獲得學分。6.C推理判斷題。根據第二段的“Thiscoursewillbebuiltandestablishedonwhatwe’vealreadylearntinthefirstyearbutofcoursewe’regoingtomonitorthestudentsmuchmorecloselybecauseit’sforacademiccredits.Theycan’ttakeaneasyoption—they’vereallygottoputinalotofeffort.”可知,學校會對學生進行密切監控,且學生要在該科目上付出很多努力。由此推知,學生可能會認為該科目很難。7.B細節理解題。根據倒數第二段的“Lectureswilladdressaseriesofissues,includingwhetherhappinessisinthegenesandifitcanreallybechanged,howourmindsinfluencehappinessandtheroleofcultureinhappiness.”可知,上該課程的學生能夠了解思想如何影響幸福。8.A主旨大意題。根據文章的主要內容,尤其第一段的“BristolUniversitywillofferstudentslessonsinhappiness.Theuniversityisofferingthe12-weekcoursetostudentsfromalluniversitydisciplinesnextyear,whichwillcounttowards20oftheir120creditpointsfortheirfirstyearoncampus.”可知,本文主要介紹了布里斯托爾大學將為學生提供快樂方面的課程。Ⅱ.【語篇導讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講的是作者因為父母的問題而影響了學習,作者的老師很快發現了作者的問題,她和作者談話,關心作者的功課,令作者感到自己值得被愛。1.A由后文的“asshecouldnotmakeendsmeet”可知,因為作者的媽媽入不敷出,所以愛發脾氣,loseone’stemper是固定短語,意為“發脾氣”。2.C由上文的“Ihadbeenanabove-averagestudent”和but表轉折可知,句子表示“我曾經是一個中上的學生,但現在我在學校表現很差”,故選C項。3.A由后文的“noticethechangethathadcomeoverme”可知,作者的老師很快注意到了作者身上發生的變化。4.B由“inonecornerofthecanteen”可知,作者應該是一個人站在食堂的一個角落里。5.A由后文的“Shegesturedformetofollowher”可知,老師發現了作者,所以做手勢讓作者跟著她走。6.D由后文的“wheresheletmetakeaseatnexttoher”可知,作者和老師去了圖書館,headfor意為“前往”。7.C由上文的“withmyheadbent”和后面的“lookedather”可知,作者剛開始是低著頭的,后來抬起頭來看著老師,因此空格處是“抬起”。8.D由后文的“Itriedmybesttoholdthemback”可知,作者的眼里涌出了眼淚。9.C由后文的“WhenIhadfinished”可知,作者的老師是握著作者的手等作者哭完。10.A由上文的“Sheheldmyhandsand9”可知,作者的老師是一個很有耐心的人,因此此處她肯定是耐心地聚精會神地聽作者講自己的問題。

11.B由后文的“anditsupsanddowns”及常識可知,生活中存在起起落落,因此作者的老師是給作者講生活,故選B項。12.B由后文的“myworkatschoolwithme”可知,老師是指導作者的功課,因此是和作者討論作者在學校的功課。13.C由上文的“Mrs.Justinmadeitapointto12myworkatschoolwithme”可知,作者的老師關心作者的功課,所以作者是覺得自己被老師關愛,是值得被愛的。

14.B由后文的“totheclassthatIwasthetopstudentintheclass”可知,老師是向全班宣布作者是班里的尖子生。15.D由上文的“Mrs.Justin14totheclassthatIwasthetopstudentintheclass”可知,老師宣布作者是班里的尖子生,作者當然是覺得開心和幸福。

組合練(二)Ⅰ.【語篇導讀】本文是一篇記敘文。一位在阿爾及利亞長大的女性為了出國留學,通過自己的不懈努力,獲得了在瑞士學習的博士獎學金。后來受瑞士一位教授的鼓舞在常規期刊上發表文章,獲得了加拿大博士后學位。1.B細節理解題。根據第一段“...butIdidn’thaveasolidgraspofEnglish.Ilearnedithardbutdidn’tscorehighenoughtosecureentrance.IhadtostayinAlgeriatocompleteamaster’sdegreeinstead.”可知,作者因為英語考試沒通過所以沒能進入英國的大學學習。2.A推理判斷題。根據第二段的“Theprofessor’scommentheartenedmetoadjustmyresearchtoaddressissuesofbroaderinterest.”可知,作者因為教授的評論而備受鼓舞。inspiring鼓舞人心的;heartless無情的;regular規律的;confusing令人困惑的。3.D推理判斷題。根據第二段的“Facingglobalinequities,I’vestartedtotryusingapreprintservertointegrateanEnglishlanguageproofingsystemintoitsplatform,whichwouldconnectauthorswhoneedlanguagehelp.”可知,預印本服務器旨在幫助在語言上需要幫助的人們。4.C推理判斷題。根據第一段中“Iknewstudyingabroadwouldbekeytomysuccess.”以及“ButIkeptlearningEnglishonmyown.Twoyearslater,IearnedaPhDscholarshiptostudyinSwitzerland.”可以看出作者意志堅定;根據最后一段的“Wecantakestepstomaketheglobalscientificcommunitymoreinclusive.AndIwanttobepartofthatpushforchange.”可以看出,作者積極樂觀。故選C項。【語篇導讀】本文是一篇議論文。文章主要論述了現在的友誼變得數字化,失去了原來的面對面友誼的意義。5.D推理判斷題。根據第一段以及第二段的“‘Yourfriendisreplacedbyartificialintelligence?’‘Itdoesn’tmatter,Dad.Ithappensallthetime!Thegamecontinues.’”可知,作者通過呈現他和兒子的對話來引出文章的話題。6.C主旨大意題。根據第三段“Aristotle,agreatthinkerandeducator,...Thisisselflessfriendship.Youcanhaveonlyacoupleofthesefriendsbecausethey
