B．Pleased.C．Puzzled. D．Disappointed.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Irealizedthatmybodyhadproducedawonder”可知，作者認為自己的身體孕育了一個奇跡。據(jù)此可以推斷，作者應該會感到高興。2．Intermsofbeingaparent,theauthordifferedfromherpeersinthat________.A．shehadtodealwithmorestressesfrombeingamomB．sheleftallthebabysittingworktoherhusbandC．shecombinedthenewidentitywithhercareerD．sheadoptedacreativemethodofraisingherbaby解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的內容可以推斷，作者把媽媽這個角色和自己的本職工作結合了起來。3．WhatdidCrystal'sperformanceinthelibrarymaketheauthorthinkabout?A．Livingthesamefreelifeasherdaughter's.B．Givingperformanceinfrontofacrowd.C．Herpreviouslifebeforehavingthebaby.D．Purepleasureduring“baby－free”time.解析：選A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第六段的內容，尤其是最后一句可知，作者看到女兒在圖書館跳舞的時候，她期待像女兒一樣自由自在地生活。B(2023·吉林高三模擬)AccordingtoJimCoan,apsychologistfromtheUniversityofVirginia,holdinghandswithsomeoneyoutrustcanhaveapositiveeffectonyourhealth.Why?Researchershaveshownintheirstudiesthatthesimpleactoftouchcanreducestressandevenlowerheartrate.Inastudy,Jimandhiscolleaguesbroughtcouplesintothelab,andthenputoneoftheminanfMRImachinetoscantheactivityintheirbrains.Whilescanningthem,theparticipantslookedatascreen,andonaseriesoftests,theyeithersawagreencircleorared“X”.Agreencirclemeantthatthetestwouldendshortlyandnothingelsewouldhappen.Ared“X”meantthatinafewseconds,therewasachancethattheywouldreceiveamildelectricshockontheirleg.Theshockwasn'tpainful,butitwasn'texactlycomfortableeither.Duringsomeofthesetests,participantswereinthefMRIscanneralone;duringothers,aresearchercameinandheldtheirhand;andonafinalsetoftests,theirromanticpartnercameinandheldtheirhand.Jimandcolleaguesfoundthatwhenparticipantsthoughttheymightbegettingashock,theyhadalowerstressresponseintheirbrainswhenholdingtheirromanticpartner'shandthanintheothertwoconditions.Andthehappierthecouplessaidtheywereintheirrelationships,themoretheromanticpartner'shandlessened(減弱)thebrain'sresponsetotheshock.Thisstudysuggeststhatwhenwe'restressed,holdingalovedone'shandcanreducethatstress.Theresearchalsosuggeststhattouchhasimmediateandpositiveeffectsonbabies.Skin－to－skincontactcanreducecrying,stress,andimprovesleep.Theseeffectscanbelong－lasting：adults,heldalotwhentheywerebabies,arethemostlikelytobehealthyandwell－adjusted—infact,themoretheywerecarriedinbabyhood,thebettertheyadjustinadulthood.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文，介紹了科學家的研究成果：來自信任的、親近的人的觸碰可以幫助緩解壓力，對身體健康有積極作用。4．Howwouldaparticipantprobablyfeelwhenseeingared“X”？A．Nervous. B．Excited.C．Hopeful. D．Painful.解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句及第三段第二句可知，伴隨紅“X”而來的電擊會讓參與者產生緊張及壓力感，只不過握著愛人的手時這種反應會降低。5．Whydidresearchersdosetsoftestsinthestudy?A．Tomakesurethestudyresultsarecorrect.B．Tocomparebrainactivitiesindifferentcases.C．Totesttherelationshipsbetweencouples.D．TocheckthefunctionsofthefMRIscanner.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知，實驗設計了不同情況，最后比較的是在不同情況下大腦的壓力反應。由此可以推斷出，多輪實驗的目的是比較在不同情況下參與者大腦活動的情況。6．Accordingtothelastparagraph,whatmaythewriteragreewith?A．Babiesshouldbeheldandcarriedasmuchaspossible.B．Babies'problemscanbesolvedmainlybytouching.C．Theeffectsthattouchinghasonbabiesdon'tlastlong.D．Adultswhowerenotheldasbabiescan'tadjusttosociety.解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句可知，摟抱產生的影響持續(xù)的時間很長，嬰兒時期被抱得越多，成年時期的調節(jié)能力就越好，所以作者會認可A項“應盡可能多抱抱嬰兒”的觀點。7．Whichofthefollowingmightbethemostsuitabletitleforthetext?A．TouchImprovesBrainFunctionB．TouchHappensEverywhereC．TouchHelpsFormGoodHabitsD．TouchMakesaBigDifference解析：選D標題歸納題。本文第一段說明研究結論：來自信任的人的觸碰及拉手對健康有積極的影響；第二、三段介紹了研究的過程和發(fā)現(xiàn)：牽著愛人的手可以減少緊張感；第四段為研究的其他發(fā)現(xiàn)：觸碰對嬰兒的身心健康有長久影響。所以D項“觸碰產生重大影響”最適合作為本文標題。Ⅱ.閱讀七選五SimpleWaystoValueYourselfMoreSelf－valueistheactionthathelpsusmatchthatself－worth.Wecanalsothinkofself－valueasanotherfeedingelementofthebiggerumbrellatermofself－worth.__8__Acknowledgetheinnercritic.Weallhavethatloudinnervoicethatisn'talwayskind.Whenleftunchecked,theinnercriticcanhavedestructiveeffectsonourself－esteem.__9__Wrestingwiththiscriticisoftenalifelongjourney,butafirstgoodstepistoacknowledgeit.Whenyoucanpauseandacknowledgethatitiscallingtheshots,youcanlearntotakebackyourpowerandvalue.Receiveacompliment(稱贊).We'resoafraidofcomingoffasneedythatwehardlyeverreceivethegoodwordssomeonesendsourway.Really,thetrueproblemhereisthatwedon'toftenbelievewe'reworthyofthecompliment!Thebeautifultruthhereisthatwedon'toftenseeourselvesinthesamewayothersseeus.__10__Begratefulforeffort.__11__Wedon'talwaysstoptoexaminejusthowmucheffortweputforthineverydayliving.Onewaytovalueyourselfmoreistobegratefulforeverythingyoudo.It'seasytobecriticalandwishyou'ddonebetter,butyou'realwaysdoingthebestthatyoucan.__12__Whenthingsdon'tgoasplanned,practiceforgiveness.Whenpeoplehurtyou,practiceforgiveness.Forgivenessisthefreeremedythatcanalleviatesomuchofoursufferingwhenweholdontobitterness.It'sworthyofimplementingitintooureverydaylife.A．Forgiveyourselfoften.B．Itoftenstopsustrustinginourselves.C．It'snotalwayseasytoshowuptolife.D．Thisisnoplaceforourself－worthtogrow.E．Practicepositiveconfirmationinthemirror.F．So,nexttimesomeonepraisesyou,receivetheirwordsfully.G．Valuingourselvesisshowninvariousways,manyofwhicharehighlightedbelow.語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了讓你更重視自己的簡單方法。8．選G根據(jù)上文可知，自我重視是幫助我們匹配自我價值的行為；再根據(jù)下文中給出了讓你更重視自己的簡單方法可知，G項“重視自己的方式多種多樣，下面重點介紹其中幾種”能夠承上啟下，總領全文。9．選B根據(jù)上文可知，我們要控制自己內心對自我的批評，它可能會對我們的自尊產生破壞性影響。B項中的“It”指代上文中的“theinnercritic”，進一步指出自我評價對我們所產生的不好的影響。B項“它常常阻止我們相信自己”符合語境。10．選F根據(jù)本段的第一句可知，本段主要講述重視自己的方法是接受別人的贊美。F項中的“praises”呼應主題。所以F項“所以，下次有人贊美你的時候，要充分接受他們的話”起到總結全段的作用。11．選C根據(jù)上下文可知，生活并不容易，在生活中展現(xiàn)自己也不總是那么容易。我們不能總是停下來檢查我們在日常生活中付出了多少努力。所以要學會感恩，感謝自己所付出的努力。C項“在生活中展現(xiàn)自己并不總是那么容易”符合語境。12．選A根據(jù)下文可知，本段主要講述事情沒有按計劃進行時，我們要學會寬恕。A項中的“Forgive”符合本段的主題。所以A項“經常原諒自己”適合作本段的主題句。Ⅲ.完形填空Weallstrivetoaccomplishourgoalsbeforeoldagecatchesupwithus.ButforoneSanDiegowoman,thelossofher__13___isfarfromabarrier.TwodaysafterThanksgivingLauraSimonturns106,andshe'sstillsettinggoalsforherself.“Thesecrettoherlongevity，”shesays,“istoliveas__14__asyoucanandtowork.”Simon__15__oneofherbiggestgoalswhensheturned100:She__16__abook,titledIAmStillHere.Simon'spooreyesightpreventedherfrom__17__writing,soshedictatedherbookintoataperecorderovernineyears.“I'mvery__18__ofthisbook，”Simonsaid.Thebook's500pagesare__19__bydozensofblack－and－whitephotos.Herpaintingsarealsothroughoutthebook.Itwasonlyrecentlywhenitwas__20__forhertocontinuethatSimonstoppedpainting.“Mypaintingscomefromtheverydepthofmybeing，”Simonsaid.“Itgivesmelifeand__21__.”Asforherrecent__22__？ShesaidshewantedtobeintheLibraryofCongress.AndSimondidmorethan__23__ittotheLibraryofCongress.Herpublisher__24__herthatsheisoneoftheoldest__25__authorswithabookinthenation'slibrary.“Therestoftheauthorsareallgone,fromthetimeofWashington.Andmybookiswithallthesegreatbooks，”Simonsaid,beaming.“...asmytitlesaysonthebook,Iamstillhere.”Positiveattitudeabout__26__hasgottenSimonfar.“AlthoughI'mgoingtobe106yearsoldwithinthenextweek,I'mmuch__27__inspiritandmoreactiveinthedepthofmythinking.”Simonsaid.語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述了106歲高齡的勞拉·西蒙在100歲的時候實現(xiàn)了她最大的目標之一：她出版了一本書，名為《我還在這里》，成為在世的最年長的作家之一。13．A.wealth
