英語答案與解析第二部分閱讀理解本篇廣告類的說明文介紹了歐洲四個國家的首都即將舉辦的音樂節的相關信息。21．【答案】D【解析】細節理解題。本題考查文章列舉的四個音樂節的時間長短，第二則說該節日持續一個星期，因此選D。22．【答案】D【解析】細節理解題。根據題干信息，我們把答案定位在最后一則介紹。該則信息說，參加這個音樂節的人主要是當地人(60,000mostlylocalpeople)，因此選D。23．【答案】A【解析】推理判斷題。根據題干的rockmusic判斷，第三、四則音樂節的介紹提到搖滾樂，舉辦地分別是德國柏林和法國的巴黎，因此選A。本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章。想象力是人類創新的源泉，是創造的動力，會影響一個人的人生態度。“我”的童年就是一段充滿想象力的美好歲月。“我”現在的積極人生態度都得益于此。24．【答案】C【解析】細節理解題。依據文章第一段可知，作者小時候曾經想象過自己未來成為宇航員、西部牛仔、足球運動員，由此可知，作者小時候對未來有著美好的憧憬，故選C項。25．【答案】B【解析】詞義猜測題。由第一段可知，作者小時候想象自己從事某些職業，本句中的inmyhead說明作者在構思各種各樣的境況，故選B項。26．【答案】C【解析】細節理解題。根據第三段中的…IndianaJones,whichcleanedupatthecinemaatthattime即可判斷，這是當時一部很熱門的影片。27．【答案】A【解析】推理判斷題。在文章最后一段作者描述了自己小時候豐富的想象力對現在生活的影響，文中Ienjoysharingwithandhearingaboutotherpeople'sstories表明，作者與他人相處很好，樂觀生活，這些都歸功于“我創造性的想象力”。故選項A作為本文的標題最為合適。C篇【解題導語】要想健康生活，是先節食還是先運動呢？研究發現，兩者同時進行好。28．【答案】D【解析】細節理解題。由第二段中的“…tendstodiscourage...newchangescanalsouseupenergyandmotivation,andleadtoadropincomplianceovertime”可知，這些建議都有弊端，所以不能令人滿意。29．【答案】C【解析】推理判斷題。由第四段中的Thosethatchangedtheirfitnesshabitsfirstsignificantlyincreasedtheamountofexercisetheyreceiveddailycomparedtotheothergroupsafterfourmonths.可知，這部分人在運動方面最先取得進步，對應的是第三組（見第三段）。30．【答案】C【解析】推理判斷題。由第四段中的Theresearcherssuspectthatchangestodietareeasiertomakethanchangestophysicalactivity可推知，一開始先進行節食訓練的小組一年后在運動方面還不達標，可能原因是，運動比節食改變起來更費勁。其他選項妄加揣測。31．【答案】A【解析】細節理解題。由末段首句的“pairingdietandexercisechangesmayhelptoovercomesomeofthebarrierspeoplefaceinaddingmorephysicalactivityintotheirlives”可知答案。好奇心像一臺發動機，讓你在求知的路上突飛猛進、碩果累累。那么如何激發好奇心呢？請看科學家們怎么說吧。32．【答案】A【解析】細節理解題。由第二段中的“Thecuriousindividualismotivatedtoobtainthemissinginformationtoreducethefeelingofdeprivation.”可知，當人們意識到知識缺口時，就渴望彌補它。33．【答案】D【解析】推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“soeagertogettotheanswerthatwedonotdevotesufficienttimetodevelopingthequestion”可知，DanielWillingham不贊同老師的做法。由此推知，學生厭學，老師責無旁貸。34．【答案】C【解析】細節理解題。由第四段的GeorgeLoewensteinnotedthatcuriosityrequiressomebasicknowledge可知答案。即要對某事物產生好奇心，需要有相關知識。35．【答案】C【解析】主旨大意題。由第一段中的Buthowdoesonegenerate（產生）curiosity,inoneselforothers?可知，本文談好奇心是怎樣產生的問題，針對此問題，最后三段對如何激發好奇心給出了科學的建議。由此可知答案為C項。語言學習的明顯目的是為了交流，但對我們了解異域文化、職業發展和語言提高也有很好的幫助作用。36．【答案】D【解析】根據下文中的Peopleineverycountrypreferitwhentouristsmakeanefforttospeakthelocallanguage,evenifallyoucansayinitis“hello”and“please”，可知應選D項，Yourtrip與tourists相呼應。37．【答案】C【解析】根據段落開頭的Speakinganewlanguagehelpsyoutogettoknowanotherpeopleandculture可知，學習另一種語言能夠開闊眼界。38．【答案】B【解析】根據上文中的Itisextremelydifficultforatranslationtobeaperfectreplicaoftheoriginal可知，最好的方法是閱讀作者的原著。39．【答案】E【解析】根據下文中的Schoolsandemployerstendtoprefercandidateswhospeakoneormoreforeignlanguages可知，講多種語言能夠增加市場機會。40．【答案】G【解析】上文談到許多語言對英語的發展的作用，據此可知，通過學習那些語言能夠知道詞匯和語法結構的起源。第三部分英語知識運用第一節完形填空【解題導語】本文是一篇神話故事，是有關Diwali（排燈節）的傳說，講述了一位老婦人用自己的智慧為全家人換來了永世的富裕和幸福。41．【答案】C【解析】下文出現了thesnake，由此可知答案。最小的兒子在回家的路上看見了一條蛇，并且把它撿起來帶回家。42．【答案】A【解析】四個選項中符合邏輯的只有A項，母親認為這條蛇不能給全家當飯吃。43．【答案】B【解析】第二段倒數第二句中出現了onthehouse是提示，覺得蛇沒有用便將其扔到房頂。44．【答案】B【解析】根據介詞短語inabeautifullake可知，女王正在池塘里洗澡。45．【答案】D【解析】下文多次出現necklace一詞。有只老鷹在女王洗澡時叼走了項鏈。46．【答案】A【解析】此處是說這只老鷹看見了房頂上的那條蛇。47．【答案】C【解析】于是老鷹將項鏈丟下。其他選項很顯然不合邏輯。48．【答案】D【解析】老鷹丟下項鏈帶走(takeaway)了那條死蛇。wakeup喚醒。putaside撇開。lookfor尋找。49．【答案】A【解析】前文提到老鷹將項鏈丟在了房頂，再結合下文可知，此處應該是說那位老婦人看到了房頂的項鏈。50．【答案】A【解析】老鷹是趁女王不備時叼走了項鏈，因此可以理解為這個項鏈是被偷走的。51．【答案】C【解析】所填詞修飾動詞want表示該動詞的程度。女王很想弄回項鏈。badly此處意為“極其”，而不是“糟糕地”。52．【答案】B【解析】此處應該選擇表示時間概念的連接詞。When“當……的時候”。53．【答案】C【解析】女王見到失而復得的項鏈當然是非常高興的。54．【答案】B【解析】本句句首的連詞but是解題的關鍵。女王要給老婦人一大筆錢，但是她卻謝絕了。decline謝絕。如果選擇D項則應該將but改為and。55．【答案】D【解析】所選動詞的賓語是oillamps，再結合下文內容可知，老婦人請求女王在排燈節那天只允許她家點油燈。light點燃。56．【答案】C【解析】是老婦人將項鏈還給她的，因此女王應該非常感激她。此處是so...that句型，表明了女王感激的程度，因為心存感激從而答應了老婦人的請求。57．【答案】D【解析】空后面說的“看見一片漆黑
