【4題詳解】

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)笫——段的uforsomepeoplehavingcifoodallergymeanseatingcertain

thingscanactuallybeharmful—andnow,itseems,thisisaffectingmoreandmore

ofUS."可知，對于一些有食物過敏癥的人來說，意味著吃某些種類的東西事實(shí)上是有害的

——并且現(xiàn)在似乎這正在影響著越來越多的人。根據(jù)句意，推測劃線部分指代上文提到的

“對某種食物過敏的情況”。故選B項(xiàng)。

【5題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第二段中使用了下定義的說明方法,如“Anallergyiscausedbytheimmune

systemfightingsubstancesintheenvironment,knownasallergens”（過敏是由于免

疫系統(tǒng)對抗環(huán)境中的物質(zhì)，被稱為過敏原）；作比較的說明方法，如“Ifyoulookbackover,

say,30or40years…therearemuchmoreallergicproblemsaroundnowthanthere

were."（如果你回顧三四十年前……現(xiàn)在有更多的過敏問題）；第三段使用了舉例子的說明

方法，如“Lastyearayounggirldiedaftersufferingafatalallergicreactionfrom

故選D項(xiàng)。

【6題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的“DrSantossaystheincreaseinallergiesisnotsimply

theeffectofsocietybecomingmoreawareofthemandbetteratdiagnosingthem”（桑

托斯博士說，過敏癥的增加并不僅僅是因?yàn)樵絹碓揭庾R到它們的存在，和越來越善于診斷出

以前不為人們所知道的過敏癥，現(xiàn)在可能被診斷出來。改選C項(xiàng)。

【7題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“Sofornowallergysufferersmustwatchwhattheyeat

今天矚目的成就，大家對她評價很高，認(rèn)為她是人們心目中的邁克爾?喬丹。

【8題詳解】

主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段"Whatmakesoneagreatperson?Thelegendaryvolleyball

平因?yàn)樗膹?qiáng)力擊球而得此綽號）結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容，可知這篇文章主要講了郎平和她成功的事

業(yè)。故選C。

【9題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段“In2005,shestruggledwithbalancingraisingherdaughter

LydiaBaiLang,wholivedintheUS,andhercoacningcareer,accordingtoChina

SportsDaily.Sheeventual1ydecidedtoworkforUSAVolleybal1thatyearandthis

她最終決定為美國排球隊(duì)工作，這一決定在國內(nèi)引起了很多負(fù)面評論）可知2005年郎平去

美國排球隊(duì)工作是為了照顧她的家庭。故選B。

【10題詳解】

詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線詞后的部分“Troubledbysevereinjuriestohercervical

6（）歲的她已經(jīng)經(jīng)歷了10多次手術(shù)。“我身體的任何部位都不能正常工作，”她開玩笑說）

可知郎平在取得矚目成就的同時，也因繁重的工作得了許多疾病。由此推知，第四段中劃線

句子的意思是“成功是有代價的"。故選A。

【11題詳解】

推理判斷撅。根據(jù)最后一段“ThereisnodoubtthatLangisoneofthegreatestplayers

一。一位運(yùn)動員在紀(jì)錄片中評論道：“郎平就像我們心目中的邁克爾?喬丹。”）可推知，

可推知，第?段作者想告訴我們關(guān)于美國交通事故的嚴(yán)重性。故選A。

【13題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“However,anewstudyhasfoundthatwhentherear-end

系統(tǒng)通過降低速度幫助在追尾時減少傷害和損害。故選B。

【分析】

這是一篇說明文。文章通過貝殼回聲介紹了一種回聲共振現(xiàn)象。

【16題詳解】

根據(jù)下文“Seashellsarenotspecialcapsulesthathavestoredthesoundsoftheir

nativehomes."（貝殼并不是用來儲存家鄉(xiāng)聲音的特殊容器。）可知，上文所說的"...ifyou

heldaseashelluptoyourear,you*dheartheocean.M（如果你把貝殼放在耳邊，

你就能聽到海洋的聲音）很可能不是真實(shí)的.選項(xiàng)D起承上啟卜的作用。故選D項(xiàng)。

【17題詳解】

根據(jù)上文“Butwhatexactlyisthatrushingsoundyou'rehearing?n（但是你到底聽

到了什么急促聲音？）的提問，以及后文的問答可知，這里選項(xiàng)B是對答案特點(diǎn)的描述。

故選B項(xiàng)。

【18題詳解】

根據(jù)下文“Ollierstruelureswi111openings,likeemptybowlsorbottles,canpicduue

similarsounds.w（其他有開口的結(jié)構(gòu)，如空碗或空瓶，也能發(fā)出類似的聲音。）以及上文

對“貝殼回音”的介紹可知，其他有開U的結(jié)構(gòu)和貝殼一樣也能發(fā)出類似的聲音。空格處用

“Thiseffectisnot1imitedtoshells.”（這種效應(yīng)不僅限于貝殼），合乎邏輯，語義

通順。故選C項(xiàng)。

【19題詳解】

根據(jù)k文Vermeil教授所解釋的這是aphenomenoncalled°resonance.v（一，種叫做共

振的現(xiàn)象）和下文“Itsaysthatyou*rehearingthesoundofyourownrushingblood

inyourbody.w（它說你聽到的是你自己身體里奔騰的血液的聲音。）可知，兩種解釋并不

一致，故本段開頭應(yīng)該是“對于貝殼中的急促聲音還有另外一種解釋”。故選G項(xiàng)。

【20題詳解】

根據(jù)上文Vermeil教授對“貝殼回聲”的另一種解釋，和下文“Actually,ifyouputa

shelltoyourearonthebeach,thesoundsyouhoarwillincludepartlysomeocean

noises."（事實(shí)上，如果你在海灘上把貝殼放在耳邊，你聽到的聲音中會有一部分是海洋

的聲音。）可知，文章最后又回到了開頭所說的“最初的神話傳說”。故選F項(xiàng)。

七選五題型要求考生從整體上把握文章的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)容上的聯(lián)系，理解句子之間、段落之

間的關(guān)系，對諸如連貫性、一致性等語段特征有較強(qiáng)的意識和熟練的把握。所以懂得整篇文

章的基本結(jié)構(gòu)或段落的語篇結(jié)構(gòu)對解題很有用。如本文箕1題中，把握文章的上下文邏輯聯(lián)

系,通過上文對“神話傳說”的介紹,以及下文對傳說科學(xué)的否定,可知選項(xiàng)D"Nowyou

probablyknowthatthisisnottrue.M（現(xiàn)在你很可能已知道這不是真的）是正確答案。

第二部分完形填空（共20小題；每題1.5分，滿分30分）

閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（A,B,C和D）中，選出可以填入空白處的

最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
