SectionVIII綜合篇答案與解析

Passage71

【答案與解析】約翰病了，咳嗽得很厲害。醫(yī)生給他開(kāi)了些藥。咳嗽藥上說(shuō)明書的內(nèi)容主要包括

了藥品的服用方法、藥量、貯存條件以及保質(zhì)期等。

1.B?根據(jù)"Johnistwelveyearsold."和"8—131teaspoonful"可知B為正確答案。

2.A,"Putitinacoldplace."是本題答案的依據(jù)。

3.A。答案就在"Shake（搖動(dòng)）itwellbeforeuse."中。

4.C,：由"Notrightforchildrenbelowtheageofthree"這句話可■知，此藥不適用于三歲以卜.的兒童。

5.A。本說(shuō)明的最后一句說(shuō)的是此藥品的保質(zhì)期。答案顯然為A。

Passage73

【答案與解析】這篇短文反映了學(xué)生書包過(guò)重這一引發(fā)人們思考的生活現(xiàn)實(shí)。書包過(guò)重引起了學(xué)

生身體的不適。文中引用了幾位學(xué)生對(duì)沉重書包的感想和體會(huì)，有的學(xué)生甚至還在書包上安裝了輪子。

專家認(rèn)為書包重量不應(yīng)超過(guò)學(xué)生體重的10%-15%?學(xué)生則認(rèn)為減少作、業(yè)量才能徹底解決這一問(wèn)題。為

了減小過(guò)重書包對(duì)學(xué)生身體造成的傷害，短文最后還附了醫(yī)生的四點(diǎn)建議。

1.D.根據(jù)首段末句及所附醫(yī)生的建議可知選項(xiàng)D乃是文章主旨。

2.A.短文前兩句是本題答案之所在。

3.A。根據(jù)該詞組所在句子及I:下文意思，”許多學(xué)生使用帶有輪子，可在地上滾動(dòng)的書包”可以推

測(cè)選項(xiàng)A的解釋合乎文意。

4.C。專家建議學(xué)生書包重量應(yīng)在他本人體重的10%和15%之間。所以一個(gè)體重為40千克的學(xué)

生所背書包的重量應(yīng)是6千克。

5.C。顯然，專家所提四項(xiàng)建議的目的是讓學(xué)生的書包輕一些。

Passage74

【答案與解析】這是一篇有關(guān)東西方文化差異的閱讀材料。英美人喜歡邀清朋友或同事到自己的

家里吃飯。但是按照西方人的習(xí)慣，我們?cè)趺礃幼霾拍芨鼮槎Y貌些呢？本文給了最明確的回答。

1.D.第一段的最后那句有明顯的說(shuō)明。

2.D."It'spolitetobringflowers,chocolatesorabottleofwineasapresent.”一句是該題的出處。

3A正確理解"remember—nottoaskhowmuchthingscost."這句話才能得出答案。

4.C.仔細(xì)閱讀短文第四自然段，就不難找到答案。

5.C.A,B、D三個(gè)選項(xiàng)在文中都有明確的說(shuō)明。而根據(jù)"Beforetheytakeouttheircigarettesafter

themeal,mostpeopleusuallyask…"可以看出，抽煙前應(yīng)當(dāng)用"DoyoumindifIsmokehere?"這句話

征求一下對(duì)方的意見(jiàn)。由此可將C項(xiàng)排除。

Passage75

【答案與解析】這是一篇涉及地理方面的知識(shí)性小品文。地球上共劃分了二十四個(gè)時(shí)區(qū)，兩個(gè)相

鄰的時(shí)區(qū)之間時(shí)間正好相差一個(gè)小時(shí)。因此，我們環(huán)球旅行時(shí)，就會(huì)遇到時(shí)差問(wèn)題。國(guó)際日期變更線

是新的一天開(kāi)始的地方。穿越這條線向東去，今天就變成了昨天，向西去，今天就成了明天。

1.C。由句首的那一句話可知，導(dǎo)致這種奇怪現(xiàn)象的原因就是因?yàn)闀r(shí)區(qū)的劃分。

2.A.根據(jù)首句，再聯(lián)系地理方面的知識(shí)，可知時(shí)區(qū)與時(shí)區(qū)之間的時(shí)間差為一個(gè)小時(shí)。

3.A。根據(jù)第二段的介紹，自西向東橫渡大西洋時(shí)，因每增加一個(gè)時(shí)區(qū)，就早一個(gè)小時(shí)。即“…traveling

east,yousetitahead.",所以答案為A。

4.C。段首一句說(shuō)得非常清楚，“橫渡大西洋做五天的旅行”，段落末尾又說(shuō)“每一天你的旅行不是二

十四小時(shí)，就是二十五小時(shí)由此可以判斷大西洋跨五個(gè)時(shí)區(qū)。

5.Co"...thisisthepointwhereanewdaybegins."是答案的出處。

Passage76

【答案與解析】這是關(guān)于比薩斜塔的一篇雜感。作者由兒時(shí)對(duì)比薩斜塔的曲解談起，說(shuō)到了自己

對(duì)人們想要重新修正斜塔的看法。最后作者由此闡發(fā)感想：沒(méi)有什么東西是十全十美的。人們不應(yīng)當(dāng)

事事追求完美。如比薩斜塔一樣，正因?yàn)樗牟煌昝溃盼耸澜缟媳姸嗳说哪抗狻?/p>

1.C。由作者所敘述的內(nèi)容，可知該塔之所以被叫做斜塔是因?yàn)樗莾A斜的。

2.D。這層意思是作者對(duì)比薩斜塔的誤解，答案在"ButwhenIreadthewordPisa,Iwasthinkingof

pizza”一句中。

3.C。本題屬表層理解題。"Thetowerprobablywillnotfalldown,itis600yearsold."是答案的出

處。

4.B。答案即在"And,ifyouaskme,Ilikewhatitlookslike."中。

5.D。根據(jù)"Imperfectthingsmaybemoreinteresting.”及作者所流露出的對(duì)比薩斜塔的感情可以

看出他認(rèn)為缺憾也是一種美。

Passage77

【答案與解析】一位年已九旬的老人在花園里栽種一棵無(wú)花果樹(shù)。一個(gè)年輕人看到后感到迷惑不

解?于是引發(fā)了兩人的一番對(duì)話。本篇短文通過(guò)這件寓意刻的小事，說(shuō)明了“前人栽樹(shù)，后人乘涼”的道

理。

1.Hewasplantingafigtree.本小題屬于表層理解題，答案就在這位老人的回答中。

2.Hewasninetyyearsold.與上題相似，其答案也在答語(yǔ)“Iamninetyyearsold.”

中。

3.No,hewasn't.Hewasplantingthetreeforthepeopleafterhimtoenjoy.從

“Youareplantingaveryyoungtreenowandiflltakeyearstogivefruit.Youcertainly

don'thopetolivelongenoughtogetanyfruitfromthistree.”中可看出答
