【語篇解讀】這是一篇議論文。文章討論了說閑話的影響，分析了人們為什

么喜歡傳閑話。

4.A【解析】推理判斷題。根據第一和第二段uHDidyouhearwhathappenedto

AdamlastFriday?,rLindseywhisperstoTori.Withhereyesshining,

Toribrags,"YoubetIdid,Seantoldmetwodaysago.可知，

這兩段敘述了兩個人在說別人閑話的場景。根據第三段中的“Whoare

LindseyandToritalkingabout?Itjusthappenedtobeyourstruly,

AdamFreedman,Icantellyouthatwhattheyaresayingis(a)

notniceand(b)noteventrue.Still,LindseyandToriaren't

verydifferentfrommoststudentshereatLintonHighSchool,

includingme.Manyofourconversationsaregossip(閑話).”

可知，說閑話這種事幾乎人人都會做。根據"Ihavenoticedthree

effectsofgossip：itcanhurtpeople,itcangivegossipersa

strangekindofsatisfaction,anditcancausesocialpressuresin

agroup.”可知，下文主要敘述“說閑話”的三個影響。由此推知，文

章開頭引用兩人的交談是為了引出“說閑話”這個話題。故選A。

5.D【解析】細節理解題。根據第四段中的uAnimportantnegativeeffectof

gossipisthatitcanhurtthepersonbeingtalkedabout99可知，

說閑話的一個重要的負面影響是它會傷害被談論的人。即：給被談論的人

帶來不愉快的體驗。故選D。

6.B【解析】細節理解題。根據倒數第二段中的^Gossipalsocanhaveathird

effect：itstrengthensunwritten,unspokenrulesabouthowpeople

shouldact.ProfessorDavidWilsonexplainsthatgossipis

importantinpolicingbehaviorsinagroup.Translatedintohigh

schoolterms,thismeansthatifeverybodyyouhangaroundwithis

laughingatwhatJohnworeorwhatJanesaid,thenyoucanbetthat

wearingorsayingsomethingsimilarwillgetyouthesamekindof

negativeattention.可知，閑話還有第三個作用：它強化了關于人們

應該如何行動的不成文的規定。大衛?威爾遜教授解釋說，流言蜚語對監

督一個群體的行為很重要。換句話說，這意味著：如果你周圍的每個人都

在嘲笑約翰穿的衣服或簡說的話，那么，穿著類似的衣服或說類似的話會

讓你得到同樣的負面注意。由此推知，ProfessorDavidWilson認為閑

話可以幫助人們注意他們的行為。故選B。

7.D【解析】細節理解題。根據最后一段中的^Thenexttimeyoufeeltheurge

tospreadthelatestnews,thinkaboutwhyyouwanttogossipand

whateffectsyournjuicystoryMmighthave.”可知，下次你想要傳

播最新消息的時候，想想你為什么要說閑話，你的“有趣的故事“可能會

有什么影響。即：在你說閑話之前要三思。故選D。

【語篇解讀】這是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。文章主要講了人們喜歡在社交媒體

上發布自己的自拍。為了了解更多，紐約SyracuseUniversity大學的科學家們

最近做了一項研究，并得出了一些令人驚訝的發現。

8.B【解析】推理判斷題。答案定位在最后一段Youprobablycommentedabout

howniceeveryoneinthephotoslooked,especiallychildrenandthe

personshowingthephotos.Theywerehappytohearyourcomments.That

wastheoldwayof“clickinglike”.Onsocialmedia,however,people

candecidenottolookatphotoseveniftheyclick"like”.這

說明老一輩人展示他們的照片是希望得到贊許，由此推斷出這次研究主要是

關于人們在社交媒體上發布自拍的原因，故選B。

9.C【解析】詞義猜測題。下文Those“likes”undertheirFacebookselfies

makethemfeelgood.意思是臉書自拍下面的“贊”讓他們感覺很好。由

此可知，上文itisagoodplaceforpeopleto“worktowards

satisfyingtheirownvanity.”意思是這是一個讓人們“努力滿足自己

虛榮心”的好地方。“vanity"意思是虛榮心，故選C。

10.D【解析】推理判斷題。答案定位在最后一段Chocksaidpostingselfies

onsocialmediaisnotallthatdifferentfromwhatpeoplehavedone

formanyyears.（Chock說，在社交媒體上發布自拍照與人們多年來的

做法并沒有太大不同。）由此推斷出，Chock對發布自拍照持支持態度。

A.Ambiguous.模糊不清的；B.Cautious.謹慎的；C.Disapproving.反

對的；D.Supportive.支持的，故選D。

11.A【解析】細節理解題。答案定位在最后一段Theywerehappytohearyour

comments.（他們很高興聽到你的評論。）由此可知從最后一段，我們知道

老一輩人把他們的照片展示給朋友和家人，以贏得觀眾的贊揚，故選A。

【語篇解讀】這是一篇說明文。無人機曾是軍方專用的飛行器，但是現在它

被應用于越來越多的領域。以及說明了一位法國商人創建了一家公司，開發了一

種可以由地面人員控制的小型無人機，可以幫助法國農民檢查莊稼，和另一位農

民使用無人機來提供施肥信息。

12.A【解析】細節理解題。根據第一段中Butastheyhavedroppedinprice

morepeoplehavebeguntousethem.（但是隨著它們價格的下降，越

來越多的人開始使用它們）可知救援人員和農民開始使用無人機是因為他

們現在買得起了。故選A。

13.D【解析】細節理解題。根據第三段最后一句Thesensoronthedronerecords

fourdifferent-colored“bands“ofsunlightthatarereflectedoff

thecrops.（無人機上的傳感器記錄了四個不同顏色的“光帶”，它們被

作物反射）可知無人機上的傳感器主要用于記錄作物反射的陽光“光帶”。

故選Do

14.C【解析】詞義猜測題。根據后文haswings無人機使用的技術與智能手機類

似，只是無人機有機翼。可知第3段劃線的“it”一詞可能指的是無人機。

故選C。

15.C【解析】主旨大意題。根據第三段中RomainFarouxisaFrenchbusinessman,

whosefatherwasafarmer.Hebelieveddronescouldhelpfarmers.

Hehashelpedcreateacompanywhichhasdevelopedasmalldrone

thatcouldbecontrolledbypeopleontheground.(RomainFaroux

是一位法國商人，他的父親是一位農民。他相信無人機可以幫助農民。他

幫助創建了一家公司，開發了一種可以由地面人員控制的小型無人機)以

及文章主要內容圍繞著無人機幫助法國農民檢查莊稼，故D選項“法國農

民用無人機檢查莊稼”符合文章主旨大意。故選C。

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。

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。10歲的小女孩PromiseSawyers天生擁

有蓬松發型，這使她在學校里遭到了同學的取笑。Promise并沒有因此而悶悶不

樂，而是用陽光的心態應對一切，堅守自己的快樂。她的視頻激勵了很多人。

4.A【解析】詞義猜測題。聯系畫線詞所在句中的uwithhernaturalhair”

和第二段第二句“Init,Sawyersexplainedthatshewasfeeling

'sometypeofway'afterherclassmateshadmeanthingstosay-

aftersheworehernaturalhairthedaybefore.”可知，同學們嘲

笑的是她的頭發。由此可推知，afro指的是一種發型。故選A。

5.D【解析】細節理解題。根據第二段第三句uButshewasdeterminednotto

letitbringherdown,andworeitthesamewaythefollowingday.99

可知，Promise被同學們嘲笑后，決定第二天仍然保持著同樣的發型去上

學。故選D。

6.B【解析】推理判斷題。根據第三段第二句"She'salwaystaughther

daughterto'meetanegativewithapositive’,evenwhensomebody

istryingtobringherdown.”可知，Daugherty一直教女兒在遇到令

她沮喪的事情時用積極樂觀的心態去面對。由此可推知，當女兒遇到令人

氣餒的事情時，Daugherty會建議她去看到陽光的一面。故選B。

7.D【解析】推理判斷題。根據第四段中Daugherty所說的“Wehadnoidea

theimpactthatitwasgoingtomakeandtheamountofmessagesv

可知，她此前沒有料想到這個視頻能引起如此大的反響。由此可推知，她

對人們對該視頻的反應感到吃驚。故選D。
