答案與分層梯度式解析Unit2Improvingyourself高考練Ⅰ.◎語篇解讀本文是說明文,主要介紹了一本書,其中包括這本書的組成部分以及各部分的內(nèi)容。讀這本書可以幫讀者踐行數(shù)字極簡主義的生活方式。1.B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞aimedat可定位到第一段中的goal。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,這本書的目的是解釋數(shù)字極簡主義(makethecasefordigitalminimalism),包括詳細探索它的要求是什么和它為什么有效,并且教你如何采用這種生活方式。其中“teachyouhowtoadopt”和“digitalminimalism”分別與B項中的“Advocating”和“asimpledigitallifestyle”相呼應(yīng)。故選B(倡導(dǎo)一種簡單的數(shù)字生活方式)。A項意為“教授批判性思維技巧”,C項意為“解決哲學(xué)問題”,D項意為“推廣數(shù)碼設(shè)備的使用”。2.A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在句中的冒號可知,thedigitaldeclutter就是“mysuggestedmethodforadoptingthisphilosophy”。thisphilosophy指的是數(shù)字極簡主義(digitalminimalism),那么采用這種生活方式的方法也應(yīng)該與極簡有關(guān)。后句是對thedigitaldeclutter的具體闡述——30天不參加非強制的線上活動,30天結(jié)束的時候,選擇參加少量真正對你有好處的線上活動。言外之意就是,對數(shù)字活動進行清理(Clear-up)。故選A。學(xué)科思維高考命題越來越注重考查的綜合性。本題不僅需要讀懂畫線詞后的內(nèi)容,從中獲取信息來猜測生詞的大概詞義,而且選項為合成詞,需要理解、猜測選項的詞義,綜合起來才能解答此題。3.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞thefinalchapterofpartone可定位到第四段。在第一部分的最后一個章節(jié),作者會分享一千六百多名參與者的故事以及具體的策略,同時也會提醒大家可能遇到的陷阱。這些都是真實的事例(Practicalexamples)。故選C。A項意為“理論模型”,B項意為“統(tǒng)計方法”,D項意為“歷史分析”。4.A細節(jié)理解題。本題問的是“對于第二部分提供的具體做法,作者建議讀者怎么做?”。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞thepracticesofferedinparttwo可定位到最后一段最后兩句。核心的內(nèi)容是“viewthesepracticesasatoolboxmeanttoaidyoureffortstobuildaminimalistlifestyle”,即把這些具體做法當成一個工具箱。故選A?！靖呖荚~匯站】1.minimalism;minimalist2.philosophical3.foundation4.高質(zhì)量的5.工具箱長難句原句Thegoalofthisbookistomakethecasefordigitalminimalism,includingadetailedexplorationofwhatitasksandwhyitworks,andthentoteachyouhowtoadoptthisphilosophyifyoudecideit'srightforyou.分析第二個and連接兩個并列的表語,在第一個表語中,“whatitasks”和“whyitworks”是介詞of后兩個并列的賓語從句;在第二個表語中,“howtoadoptthisphilosophyifyoudecideit'srightforyou”是“疑問詞+不定式”結(jié)構(gòu)作teach的賓語,其中包含if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句。譯文本書的目標是解釋數(shù)字極簡主義,包括詳細探索它的要求是什么和它為什么有效,然后如果你斷定它適合你的話,本書會教你如何采用這種生活方式。Ⅱ.◎語篇解讀本文是說明文,主要介紹了如何成為一個更加有耐心的人。1.G設(shè)空處前一句引用了一個謎語,該謎語的意思是“交通擁堵、排長隊和等待假期開始這些情況有什么共同點?”,設(shè)空處內(nèi)容是該謎語的謎底,并且該空位于第一段,應(yīng)起到引出主題、總領(lǐng)全文的作用。結(jié)合選項可知,G選項(它們都是我們需要多點耐心的情況)既能概括謎語中提到的三種情況,又能起到引出主題的作用。故選G。2.E該空位于小標題“Practicegratitude”所在段。空前一句說明了感激的好處,但并沒有將感激與耐心相結(jié)合。后一句說明了表達感激可以培養(yǎng)自制力。由此可以推斷,設(shè)空處應(yīng)該說明感激與耐心的關(guān)系。分析選項可知,只有E選項闡述了感激與耐心的關(guān)系,其中的It指Thankfulness,并且also起到承接上文的作用。故選E。3.B空前一句指出養(yǎng)成等待這一習(xí)慣的唯一方法就是去訓(xùn)練,后一句用具體的例子(推遲看最喜歡的節(jié)目,吃蛋糕前多等十分鐘)說明應(yīng)如何訓(xùn)練。由此可知,設(shè)空處應(yīng)該闡述如何訓(xùn)練,并與下文所舉的例子相呼應(yīng)。B選項就是訓(xùn)練指導(dǎo),且smalltasks與后文舉的例子相呼應(yīng)。故選B。4.C設(shè)空處是本段小標題。根據(jù)前面兩個小標題的特點可知
