备战2018年高考英语大题冲关秘笈 专题04 冲关模拟训练 题组一 Passage1(2018届河南省许昌平顶山高三联考)‎ 话题 词数 难度 参考用时 正确率 友谊的重要性 ‎288‎ ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎6分钟 Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.‎ Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.‎ ‎“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.‎ As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.‎ Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Regardless of the level ‎ of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity (互惠), honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.‎ ‎1.Who are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders without friends?‎ A. Teenagers. B. Adults. ‎ C. The elderly. D.A couple.‎ ‎2.What does the sentence “No man is an island” really mean?‎ A. No man is willing to live on an island.‎ B. Man usually doesn’t go to an island C. Everyone is related with our society.‎ D. Our society is just like an island.‎ ‎3.What can we learn about outgoing people?‎ A. They like being alone.‎ B. They are fond of making friends.‎ C. They have intense friendships.‎ D. They have fewer close friends indeed ‎4.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?‎ A. The formation of close friends.‎ B. The number of real friends.‎ C. Honesty, love and affection.‎ D. Factors to determine the degree of closeness.‎ ‎【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论讲述的是友谊的重要性。不论是青少年还是老年人,都需要朋友的陪伴。没有人是孤立的,每个人都是社会的一部分,都需要他人的爱、陪伴和关心。人人需要友谊,需要归属感。‎ ‎1.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段首句“Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders.”可知,没有朋友的青少年更可能遭受精神疾病。故选A。‎ ‎3.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段尾句“Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.”可在,外向的人喜欢交朋友。故选B。‎ ‎4.D 【解析】段落大意题。通读最后一段可知,本段讲述亲密程度是由许多因素决定的,不管亲密程度如何,友谊都是建立在互惠,真诚,爱和情感的基础上的。‎ Passage2(2018届河南省中原名校高三第三次质量考评)‎ 话题 词数 难度 参考用时 正确率 ‎ 孩子的反社会行为 ‎364‎ ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎6分钟 Career criminals begin their antisocial behavior during their toddler (学步的儿童) years and may go on with a life of crime if their behavior isn’t challenged, scientists have discovered. While most children grow out of their bad behavior by adulthood, a study found those who had “callous unemotional (冷漠无情的) characteristics” could grow up to have problems with the law later in life. Behavior characteristics such as a lack of sympathy and lying in childhood could have an impact years on.‎ Luke Hyde, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, said, “These are signs for parents and doctors to watch out for, as they may signal more than just the terrible twos.” He said, “Parents both take care of their child and provide their child’s genes so it’s been difficult to know if we’re seeing that parenting causes callous unemotional behaviors, or ‎ if it is just a sign of the genes being passed to the child.”‎ The research also discovered that strict parenting is linked to the development of antisocial behavior. Scientists looked at 561 families in an adoption study that examined biological mothers’ antisocial behavior. The scientists found children of antisocial mothers were also more likely to exhibit the same behavior characteristics, despite having limited or no touch with them as they were adopted as babies.‎ ‎“The really exciting take-home message from this study is that small, day-to-day positive interactions (互动) that parents have with their young children can make a huge difference in children’s development,’’ said Leslie Leve, a professor at the University of Oregon who co-led the data collection.‎ ‎“Even when children have inherited (遗传) a very challenging set of behaviors, hearing ‘good job’ or receiving encouragement can help protect them from developing serious problems coming from their inherited difficulties,” he added. The study, worked on by scientists from the University of Michigan, Penn State University and the University of Oregon has been published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. Researchers will follow the group of children through early adolescence to determine if these behaviors still continue to exist from the toddler years.‎ ‎1.What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Kids’ social behaviors are related to crime.‎ B. Criminals begin their crimes during adolescence.‎ C. Antisocial behaviors of kids could be on their way to a life of crime.‎ D. Warmhearted kids are more likely to be criminals in the future.‎ ‎2.What conclusion might the scientists draw from the study?‎ A. Antisocial behaviors might be inherited.‎ B. The genes decide kids’ antisocial behaviors.‎ C. Antisocial behaviors have nothing to do with crimes.‎ D. Adopted babies surely have antisocial behaviors when they grow up.‎ ‎3.What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. Parenting is the main reason that causes kids’ antisocial behaviors.‎ B. What causes career criminals to begin their crimes is their parents’ characteristics.‎ C. Leslie Leve has a doubtful attitude to adoptive mothers’ active interactions with kids.‎ D. Inherited antisocial behaviors of kids can be lightened by positive parenting.‎ ‎4.Why will researchers track kids’ process of growing?‎ A. To make sure if kids’ behaviors will last.‎ B. To make sure if praise will change kids.‎ C. To determine if kids’ behaviors will be inherited.‎ D. To determine if parents’ comfort will protect kids.‎ ‎ 【文章大意】研究人员发现孩子的反社会行为有可能使他们走向犯罪的道路,积极的育儿方式可以减轻孩子的反社会行为。‎ ‎1.C 【解析】主旨大意题。根据文章内容,特别是第一段中的“Career criminals begin their antisocial behavior during their toddler  years and may go on with a life of crime if their behavior isn’t challenged, scientists have discovered.”可知,本文主要介绍了孩子们的反社会行为有可能使他们走向犯罪的道路,故C项正确。‎ ‎3.D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Even when children have inherited (遗传) a very challenging set of behaviors, hearing ‘good job’ or receiving encouragement can help protect them from developing serious problems coming from their inherited ‎ difficulties”可知,积极的育儿教育可以减轻孩子遗传的反社会行为,故D项正确。‎ ‎4.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Researchers will follow the group of children through early adolescence to determine if these behaviors still continue to exist from the toddler years. ”可知,研究人员追踪孩子的成长过程是为了弄清楚孩子的反社会行为是否会持续下去,故A项正确。‎ Passage3(2018届江西省新余市第一中学高三毕业班模拟考试)‎ 话题 词数 难度 参考用时 正确率 ‎ 写日记看作保留过去的方式 ‎379‎ ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎7分钟 Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?‎ When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen...‎ At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.‎ Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often only of objects I find really beautiful. I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life ‎ will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.‎ I don't want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don't live to make memories--I just live, and the memories form themselves.‎ ‎1.Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ________.‎ A. observing her school routine ‎ B. expressing her satisfaction C. impressing her classmates D. preserving her history ‎2.What caused a change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary?‎ A.A dull night on the journey.‎ B. The beauty of the great valley.‎ C.A striking quotation from a book. ‎ D. Her concerns for future generations.‎ ‎3.What does the author put in her diary now?‎ A. Notes and beautiful pictures.‎ B. Special thoughts and feelings.‎ C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.‎ D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.‎ ‎4.The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ________.‎ A.to experience it B.to live the present in the future C.to make memories D.to give accurate representations of it ‎【文章大意】作者曾经把写日记看作保留过去的一种方式,一次山谷旅行的经历让作者对日记的理解发生了变化,现在作者认识到过有意义的生活就是体验生活,而不是记录生活。‎ ‎1.D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中的“but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?”可知,13岁以前,作者把写日记看作保留过去的一种方式。‎ ‎3.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I”可知,现在作者在日记中加入了自己特殊的想法和感情。‎ ‎4.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.”可知,作者认为过有意义的生活就是体验生活,而不是记录生活。‎ 题组二 ‎ Passage1(2017届山西省太原市高三第三次模拟)‎ 话题 词数 难度 参考用时 正确率 ‎ 幸福感 ‎ 373‎ ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎7分钟 Aging brings wrinkles, sagging bodies and frustrating forgetfulness. But getting older is ‎ not all bad for many people. Mounting evidence suggests aging may be a key to happiness. There is conflicting research on the subject, however, and experts say it may all boil down to this: Attitude is everything.‎ Older adults tend to be more optimistic and have a more positive outlook on life than their younger and stressed opposites. The big question is why seniors are happier. A recent study suggests one reason: Older adults remember the past through happy memories. Aging can bring more cheer as people become more comfortable with themselves and their roles in society. The older adults said they were enjoying more time with their family, spending more time on hobbies and having greater financial security and did not have to work.‎ But others are doubtful about the link between happiness and growing older.‎ ‎"The notion that those in old age are happiest is misleading," said Richard Easterlin, a professor of economics at the University of Southern California. "It is based on comparing people of different ages who are the same in terms of income, health, family life." Easterlin added, "When you take account of the fact that older people have lower income than younger, are less healthy, and more likely to be living alone, then you will find it hard to accept that they are happier.‎ In fact, scientists have found that as people age, their health declines and social networks disappear as their friends die, which can make the elderly less happy.‎ Even if one does give in to age's dark side, health and happiness don't always go hand-in-hand. It's all about attitude. Research by the University of Chicago’s Yang suggests that attitude about life and happiness, is partly shaped by the era in which a person was born. It turns out that individuals who adapt the best to changes also have the highest expected levels of happiness.‎ Despite the conflicting findings about aging and happiness, the good news is that there doesn’t appear to be a limit to how much happiness one can achieve in one’s life. “Most people desire happiness,” Easterlin said. “To my knowledge, no one has identified a limit to attainable happiness.”‎ ‎1.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?‎ A. The key factor to older adults’ happiness B. There is a conflict between aging and happiness C. No one can define the limit to happiness.‎ D. The relationship between health and happiness.‎ ‎2.Why are some seniors happier according to some experts?‎ A. They focus on what makes them feel good.‎ B. They have their own circle of friends.‎ C. They have better income after retirement.‎ ‎3.What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. People of the same age have the same sense of happiness.‎ B. Attitude may play a very important role in happiness.‎ C. People who adapt the best to changes are more likely to be unhappy.‎ D. Older adults who have more valuable life experience are more optimistic.‎ ‎4.What’s the topic discussed in the passage?‎ A. Whether aging or attitude brings happiness.‎ B. Why seniors adapt the best to changes in society.‎ C. What the limit to an elder person’s happiness is.‎ D. How older people feel compared with younger people.‎ ‎【文章大意】随着年龄的增加变老,人们的幸福感也是不一样的。一些人认为老年人会更幸福些,而另一部分分则持有相反的观点。无论如何,幸福的关键在于一个人对生活的态度。‎ ‎1.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据此段中“the good news is that there doesn’t appear to be a limit to how much happiness one can achieve in one’s life… no one has identified a limit to ‎ attainable happiness.”可知,幸福是没有标准和限度的。故选C。‎ ‎3.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中“It's all about attitude. Research by the University of Chicago’s Yang suggests that attitude about life and happiness, is partly shaped by the era in which a person was born. It turns out that individuals who adapt the best to changes also have the highest expected levels of happiness.”可知,人们对生活和幸福的感觉主要取决于一个人的态度。故选B。‎ Passage2(2017届福建省永春一中、培元中学、季延中学、石光中学高三联考)‎ 话题 词数 难度 参考用时 正确率 奥斯卡奖 ‎400 ‎ ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎5分钟 With autumn on the horizon, the season’s first Oscar competitors are here. Already, the Hollywood Reporter has predicted that the often-snubbed(冷落的) Leonardo DiCaprio could win. Although before we get swept up in predictions, it’s nice to remember that little gold men are not the reason we love the movies. They shouldn’t be the primary reason for acting in them either.‎ Bill Murray knows this first hand. Murray was positioned to win his first-ever Oscar Academy Award for 2004’s “Lost in Translation”, but he lost it to Sean Penn. Years later, Murray explained how he took the defeat in stride(从容应对), and his words should act as a blueprint for anyone who has failed:‎ ‎“I went through it once before and it’s nice to get nominated and win some prizes. You get to go to dinners and tell little stories and so forth. Then you get to get dressed up. And then you get to be on TV, which is sweet. And you can either win or lose. Well you’re not supposed ‎ to say ‘lose’ when you talk about the Oscar. You are supposed to say ‘not chosen’. But I later realized that I had gotten a little caught up in the possibility of winning. So, shame on myself for getting caught in it. But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation. So I thought it didn’t seem unnatural to expect that I would be rewarded just one more time. So when it didn’t happen, I thought, ‘Well, that’s kind of funny.’ But to get prizes is not why you work.”‎ Murray isn’t alone in those feelings. No mention of actors without Oscars would be complete without recognition of Leonardo DiCaprio, who said, “I don’t think I ever expected anything like an Oscar ever, to tell you the truth. That is not my motivation when I do these roles. I really am motivated by being able to work with great people and create a body of work that I can look back and be proud of.”‎ Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award-winning actor, but winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point. Here are some other amazing actors who never won an Oscar, even if you think they did: Julianne Moore, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Will Smith. And they have proved that countless times before.‎ ‎1.We can learn about Bill Murray from the passage that_________.‎ A. he felt ashamed that he didn’t win the Oscar.‎ B. he never expected himself to win the Oscar.‎ C. he had already won many other awards before he failed in Oscar.‎ D. he is the first actor who had been predicted to win the Oscar but failed.‎ ‎2.Leonard DiCaprio is motivated to act different roles because _________‎ A. he wants to win the Oscar.‎ B. he can cooperate with great people.‎ C. he wants others to take pride in him.‎ D. he is not the only actor who hasn’t won the Oscar.‎ ‎3.The underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refers to “_________”.‎ A. Neither Murray nor DiCaprio will won an Oscar.‎ B. Winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point.‎ C. Some amazing actors have never won an Oscar.‎ D. You think that some actors should have won an Oscar.‎ ‎4.What is the writer’s attitude to Leonardo’s idea on winning an Oscar?‎ A. Approving. ‎ B. Critical ‎ C. Indifferent.‎ D. Neutral.‎ ‎【文章大意】本文主要介绍了落选奥斯卡奖的比尔默里和莱昂纳多对奥斯卡奖的看法。‎ ‎1.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But I won a lot of the prizes for Lost in Translation.”可知,在落选奥斯卡之前,比尔默里已经赢得了很多其他奖项。‎ ‎3.B 【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“but winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point.”可知,此处的that指代的就是winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point。‎ ‎4.A 【解析】观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Perhaps neither Murray nor DiCaprio will ever be introduced as an Academy Award-winning actor, but winning an Oscar for acting shouldn’t be the point.”可知,作者对莱昂纳多关于赢得奥斯卡的态度是支持的。‎ Passage3(2017届山西省太原市高三第三次模拟)‎ 话题 词数 难度 参考用时 正确率 ‎ 幸福和孤独之间的关系 ‎ 278‎ ‎★★★☆☆‎ ‎6分钟 Nowadays, especially in China, everything seems to favor social intercourse, such as gatherings of friends, KTV, group travel, dining tighter, playing cards and Mahjong, plus the Chinese-style “street-crossing group.” Back home, discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the “circle of friends” of WeChat.‎ However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness. Zhu Ziqing, a well-known professor of Tsinghua University, signed with emotion: “My loneliness increases as scene becomes much busier.” One popular song today is also called “A lonely man in crowds.” Actually, engaging in social intercourse requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.‎ These days, it is not easy to calm down totally and return to one’s true self. Willpower, intellect and discipline are required. Einstein said: “It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.” The “spare time” he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself.”‎ Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant, interesting and colorful, depending on one’s quality, ambition and inspiration.‎ Just as the body constantly requires energy, the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs. However, information, to processed and integrated(融入)into knowledge, thoughts and feelings, instead of bustle(忙碌)seems to be the right condition. Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that “the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”. In a sense, it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”.‎ Man, in fact, needs loneliness more than happy time, and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.‎ ‎1.Which of the following can replace the underlined the word “boisterously” in paragraph 1?‎ A. surprisingly B. sadly ‎ C. busily D. peacefully ‎2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?‎ A. Being alone marks people depressed.‎ B. Social intercourse improves our happiness.‎ C. One may feel lonely even when surrounded by people D. We should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.‎ ‎3.What can we know from Einstein’s words?‎ A. You should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.‎ B. You should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.‎ C. You will not become successful if you join in more social intercourse.‎ D. You will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.‎ ‎4.Which may be the best title for this passage?‎ A. Live On Your Own ‎ B. Happiness and Loneliness C. The secret of success ‎ D. Practice Your Social Ability ‎【文章大意】这是一篇议论文,讲述了幸福和孤独之间的关系。作者认为幸福是肤浅的,孤独是深刻的。人比快乐更需要孤独,只有丰富的孤独才能产生幸福。‎ ‎2.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据后面的“One popular song today is also called “A lonely man in ‎ crowds.” Actually, engaging in social intercourse requires ability, while being alone involves the whole character.”可知,即便是周围有人,之间忙碌于各种场合并不能总能缓解孤独感。故选C。‎ ‎3.D 【解析】推理判断题。爱伊斯坦的话说“不是你的工作时间,而是你的业余时间决定了你是否会成功”,所以可知,只有把业余时间或者说独自度过时光过得更加充实和有意义才会成功。故选D。‎ ‎4.B 【解析】主旨大意题。这是一篇议论文,讲述了幸福和孤独之间的关系。故选B。‎ Passage 4(2017届湖南省湘潭市高三模拟考试)‎ 话题 词数 难度 参考用时 正确率 生活满足感 ‎ 332 ‎ ‎★★★★☆‎ ‎6分钟 Life satisfaction is the way persons evaluate their lives and how they feel about their directions and options for the future. It's a measure of well-being and may be evaluated in terms of mood, satisfaction with relations with others and with achieved goals and self-concepts to cope with daily life. It's having a favorable attitude towards one's life as a whole rather than just an evaluation of current feelings. Life satisfaction has been measured in relation to economy, education, experiences, and residence, as well as many other topics.‎ Life satisfaction can reflect experiences that have influenced a person in, a positive way. These experiences have the ability to motivate people to pursue and reach their goals. As a matter of fact, in these experiences there are two kinds of emotions that may positively influence how people understand their life. Hope and optimism both consist of emotional processes that are usually directed towards the reaching of goals. People who have higher life satisfaction are always full of hope for a better future; additionally, optimism is linked to higher life satisfaction, while pessimism is related to symptoms in depression.‎ The psychologist, Yuval Palgi, studied the old-old-people who were primarily in their nineties. This subject group was found to have thought highly of their past and present, but they thought lower of their future. A large factor that was talked about in life satisfaction was intelligence. The experiments talk of how life satisfaction grows as people become older because they become ‎ wiser and more knowledgeable, so they begin to see that life will be better as they grow older and understand the important things in life more. But when they step into their nineties, future becomes a luxury to them.‎ According to Seligman, the happier people are, the less they are focused on the negative. Happier people also have a greater tendency to like other people, which promotes a happier environment, which then correlates to a higher level of the persons' satisfaction with their life.‎ ‎1.What can we learn about life satisfaction from Paragraph 1?‎ A. It can be easily measured through income and education.‎ B. It includes a positive attitude towards people's entire life.‎ C. It merely determines people's attitude towards the future.‎ D. It has nothing to do with the evaluation of current feelings.‎ ‎2.What emotions have a positive effect on life satisfaction?‎ A. Motivation and dream. ‎ B. Hope and depression.‎ C. Optimism and pessimism.‎ D. Hope and optimism.‎ ‎3.What was the attitude of most old-old towards their future?‎ A. They were less hopeful about it. ‎ B. They thought highly of it.‎ C. They felt satisfied with it. ‎ D. They were scared of it.‎ ‎4.What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Old People Have Much More Life Satisfaction B. Life Satisfaction—the Key to a Happier Life C. Optimism Ensures Life Satisfaction D. Emotions Affect Life Satisfaction ‎【文章大意】本文为议论文。讲述的是生活满足感是人们的生活更加幸福的关键。‎ ‎1.B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段第三句话中的“It's having a favorable attitude towards one's life as a whole…”可知生活满足感包括对人们整个生活的积极肯定的态度,故选B。‎ ‎3.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段第二句话中的“…but they thought lower of their future.” 可知大多数old-old对他们的未来不太乐观,故选A。‎ ‎4.B 【解析】主旨大意题。纵观全文可知本文讲的是生活满足感是人们的生活更加幸福的关键,故选B。‎
