限時提分練(二十三)Ⅰ.閱讀理解A語篇類型：記敘文主題語境：人與自我——生活——寫給將來的自己的信【語篇解讀】在2029年的除夕，在閱讀自己2024年寫給自己的信之前，“我”必需給將來的自己再寫一封信。在信中，“我”寫到了健康、財寶、婚姻等，寫完后，“我”閱讀了2024年寫給自己的信……1．答案與解析：D考查細微環(huán)節(jié)理解。依據(jù)第一段尾句“Sincetheinventionofe-mailthough，they'vebeenfewandfarbetween”可知，由于電子郵件的獨創(chuàng)，作者收到的信件少了，故D項正確。2．答案與解析：A考查代詞指代。依據(jù)全文內(nèi)容尤其是最終一段中的“thoughInowhavenomemoryofeverhavingwrittenit”可推知，作者是在給將來的自己寫信，該句中的he指作者自己，故A項正確。3．答案與解析：B考查推理推斷。依據(jù)第五段第三句“Ithendeletethedocumentandemptythetrashfolder—toavoidthepossibilityoftemptation”可知，作者刪除了文件并清空了垃圾文件夾以避開可能的誘惑；結(jié)合下文中作者閱讀2024年寫給自己的信可以推斷，作者刪除文件是為了防止自己禁不住誘惑提前閱讀信件，故B項正確。4．答案與解析：C考查推理推斷。依據(jù)最終一段其次句“Iopenit，tremblingwithanticipation”可知，作者在打開信時，因為期盼而顫抖。由此可推知，作者在打開信時內(nèi)心很激烈，故C項正確。B語篇類型：說明文主題語境：人與社會——健康——何為“老”【語篇解讀】“一個人什么時候變老”是個永恒的問題，本文就此介紹了相關(guān)的探討狀況。5．答案與解析：C考查主旨大意。依據(jù)第一段其次句中的“notonlydoesthedefinitionof‘old’．..foragingpopulations”可知，本段主要講的是對“老”的定義的重要性。故選C。6．答案與解析：A考查細微環(huán)節(jié)理解。依據(jù)第三段最終一句“Everyonewiththesameprospectiveagehasthesameexpectedremainingyearsoflife”并結(jié)合語境可推知，prospectiveage即Theexpectedremainingyearsofone'slife。故選A。7．答案與解析：D考查細微環(huán)節(jié)理解。依據(jù)第四段第一句中的“theircommonreferencepointislifeexpectancy”可知，“年輕”和“年老”的共同參照標準是預期壽命。故選D。8．答案與解析：D考查推理推斷。依據(jù)最終一段最終一句中的“Thosewithmoreeducationtendnottosmoke,exercisemorefrequently,havebetterdietsandhaveregularcheckups—and,therefore,livelonger”可知，受教化更多的人活得更長。由此可推知，提高受教化水平有助于一個人活得更長。故選D。Ⅱ.完形填空語篇類型：記敘文主題語境：人與社會——幫助他人——為饑餓的人籌款【語篇解讀】七歲的Berry成了一個旨在消退饑餓的慈善機構(gòu)的最小的成員，他在自己家里組織了兒童俱樂部會議，號召他的摯友們?nèi)ス獛椭?，并通過經(jīng)營攤位和組織活動等已勝利地為該機構(gòu)籌集了8000多美元。1．答案與解析：B依據(jù)空前的“HungerFreeColorado”并結(jié)合下文內(nèi)容可推知，這個慈善機構(gòu)旨在幫助結(jié)束本州的饑餓狀況。故選B。D項意為“把……附(在……上)”。2．答案與解析：CBerry看到一個饑餓的人舉著牌子(sign)尋求幫助時，他第一次意識到了有人食不果腹的狀況。3．答案與解析：D參見上題解析。4．答案與解析：A依據(jù)下文Berry努力為饑餓的人籌款并結(jié)合常識可知，Berry看到那個人沒有足夠多的錢去買吃的，他很難受。upset“難受”。5．答案與解析：B依據(jù)語境并結(jié)合上題解析可知，Berry和媽媽就起先在網(wǎng)上尋求(饑餓問題的)解決方法，與下句“TheydiscoveredHungerFreeColorado”相呼應。solution“解決方法”；distribution“分發(fā)，安排，分布”。6．答案與解析：D依據(jù)該句中的“Berrydecidedto__7__moneyforthehungry”可知，Berry被這個慈善機構(gòu)的使命所激勵，確定去為那些饑餓的人們籌錢。7．答案與解析：D參見上題解析。此處與下文中的“fund-raising”“hascollectedmorethan$8,000forHungerFreeColorado”相呼應。raise“籌募”。8．答案與解析：ABerry在自己家里組織了兒童俱樂部會議，號召他的摯友們?nèi)ス獛椭allon“號召”；ringup“打電話”。9．答案與解析：B依據(jù)上文講解并描述的Berry確定為饑餓的人籌錢并結(jié)合下一句可知，他們后來還經(jīng)營了一個賣甜甜圈和檸檬汽水的攤位，并供應咖啡、冰棒和曲奇餅干。由此可推知，此處表示Berry和他的摯友們把自己做的東西拿去售賣以籌錢。
