On a February morning 13 years ago we pulled into the driveway, excited and proud, and lined up our kids for photos. It was a big day, but back then we had no idea how it would shape our lives.
That van (旅行拖车) is linked to so many great memories - soccer games, camping trips, and a 24-hour journey to Florida to visit grandparents and one three-week holiday to the east coast, full of long conversations and classic rock played on cassette tapes. In that van, I laughed my head off while going out with friends, and cried my eyes out at the death of a loved one. I've dreamed and planned and moved homes while traveling on those four trusty wheels.
There were days when it drove me nuts, too. On cold winter mornings, the sliding doors would freeze shut. Anyone who wanted to sit in the backseats had to climb in through the front. Still, we've held on to our van for as long as possible. It never ever let us down, even as the repair bills got a little bigger each year and we faithfully fixed whatever was needed to keep it on the road safely.
Yesterday we finally made the decision. It was time to find a newer, smaller, more energy-efficient (高效节能的) replacement. The van was telling us it was time.
Saying goodbye is never easy. As we close the minivan chapter(篇章)of our lives, my heart sinks -- not just for the much-loved metal box on wheels that we've driven for more than a decade, but for the days, months and years that passed by so quickly. The story of our minivan is the story of our family.
5. Why does the author mention their journeys to Florida and the east coast?
A. To share the fun they had with their van.
B. To prove that the van is convenient for travel.
C. To show how much her family loved traveling.
D. To stress the importance of keeping cars in good condition.
6. The underlined phrase “drive someone nuts” probably means .
A. make someone excited
B. make someone crazy
C. make someone confused
D. make someone amazed
7. How did the author feel when they decided to buy a new car?
A. Relieved B. Happy
C. Disappointed D. Sad
8. What could be the best title?
A. Our Trips on the Road
B. Our Much-loved Minivan
C. Memories of Our Family
D. Nothing Stays Forever
【答案】5. A 6. B 7. D 8. B
【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了小货车与我们家人之间的故事。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段That van (旅行拖车) is linked to so many great memories - soccer games, camping trips, and a 24-hour journey to Florida to visit grandparents and one three-week holiday to the east coast, full of long conversations and classic rock played on cassette tapes.(那辆小货车与许多美好的回忆联系在一起——足球比赛、野营旅行、24小时去佛罗里达看望祖父母的旅程,还有一次去东海岸的三周假期,充满了长谈和磁带上播放的经典摇滚乐。)由此推断出,作者提到他们到佛罗里达和东海岸的旅行是在分享他们在小货车上的快乐,故选A。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文On cold winter mornings, the sliding doors would freeze shut. Anyone who wanted to sit in the backseats had to climb in through the front.(在寒冷的冬天早晨,滑动门会冻上。任何想坐在后座的人都得从前排爬进去。)可知上文There were days
when it drove me nuts, too.的意思是也有让我发疯的时候。“drive someone nuts”的意思是让某人发疯,故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Saying goodbye is never easy. As we close the minivan chapter(篇章)of our lives, my heart sinks -- not just for the much-loved metal box on wheels that we've driven for more than a decade, but for the days, months and years that passed by so quickly.(说再见从来都不容易。当我们结束了生活中的小货车这一篇章时,我的心往下一沉——不仅仅是为了那个我们已经开了十多年的备受喜爱的带轮子的金属盒子,而是为了那些日子,那些月,那些年都过得太快了。)由此推断出,当他们决定买一辆新车时,作者很难过,故选D。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。最后一段The story of our minivan is the story of our family.(我们小货车的故事就是我们家的故事)是全文的主题句,结合全文内容,可知这篇文章主要讲了小货车与我们家人之间的故事,所以这篇文章最好的题目是“我们深爱的小货车”,故选B。
C
It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t identify you or any of their friends -- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago. In the study, researchers from Mac Ewan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.
In fact, scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively(挑衅地)in
front of certain fish, perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings, there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier, it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild. “If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.
For a long time, fish were placed far below chimpanzees, dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.
9. According to the article, people commonly believe that _______.
A. fish can only remember part of their past experiences
B. fish can remember things that happened long time ago
C. a fish’s memory lasts for only seven minutes
D. fish don’t recognize any of their friends
10. How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _______.
A. where to get food and survive
B. their enemies and fight
C. where to escape to when in danger
D. their friends and help each other
11. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. African cichlids always treat other fish aggressively.
B. African cichlids can remember things for 12 days.
C. African cichlids don’t belong to the list of smart animals.
D. Only African cichlids have a good memory.
12. What is the article mainly about?
A. Fish having very bad memories.
B. Fish being smarter than we thought.
C. How fish improve their memory.
D. What we can learn from fish.
【答案】9. D 10. A 11. B 12. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了一项新的研究发现,鱼的记忆力比我们过去认为的要好得多。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t identify you or any of their friends -- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.(一想到它们不记得自己吃了什么,去了哪里,也不知道你或它们的朋友是谁,这似乎很可悲——它们生命中的每一刻都像是第一次看到这个世界。)由此可知人们普遍认为鱼认不出它们的朋友,故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food, they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks,” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.(首席研究员特雷弗·汉密尔顿告诉《生活科学》杂志说:“如果鱼能记住某个区域含有安全的食物,它们就能回到那个区域而不会危及生命。”)由此可知,良好的记忆力对鱼有什么好处?它们可以记住哪里能找到食物生存,故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段In fact, certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.(事实上,某些种类的鱼甚至能记住12天前发生的事情。)由此可知,B选项“非洲慈鲷可以记住12天的事情”描述正确,故选B。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。第二段A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think.(一项新的研究发现,鱼的记忆力比我们过去认为的要好得多)是全文的主题句,结合全文内容,可知这篇文章主要讲了鱼比我们想象的更聪明,故选B。
【点睛】细节理解题大多是根据文章中的具体信息如事实、例证、原因、过程、论述等进行提问的。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该题型的关键,也是做好其它类型问题的基础。该题型几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息,或是其变体。在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都属于这类围绕主体展开的细节。做这类题一般采用寻读法,即先读题,然后带着问题快速阅读短文,找出与问题和选项有关的词语或句子,再对相关部分进行分析对比,找出答案。正确选项虽然一般不是原文照搬,但是一般是原文的改写,意思不变。如换一个同义词,把否定改为肯定,把肯定改为否定等。如第1小题,根据第一段It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been, and they don’t identify you or any of their friends -- every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.(一想到它们不记得自己吃了什么,去了哪里,也不知道你或它们的朋友是谁,这似乎很可悲——它们生命中的每一刻都像是第一次看到这个世界。)由此可知人们普遍认为鱼认不出它们的朋友,故选D。
D
British historian Jacob Bronowski once wrote, “Man masters nature not by force, but by understanding.” This is especially for extreme climber Alex Honnold, who climbed California's El Capitan by himself, without any safety ropes(绳子), in 2017. The New York Times called it“one of the greatest athletic feats(功绩)of any kind, ever.”
Now you can watch him do it. The documentary Free Solo, which hit Chinese mainland cinemas on Sept 6, shows Honnold’s brave journey up the 914-meter high mountain. The film won the 2019 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature in February. In it, Honnold gives us some useful advice:“You’ll always feel fear, but over time you’ll realize the only way to truly manage your fear is to broaden your comfort zone. It means that challenging yourself is important.”
In fact, free climbing requires perseverance, control, and concentration. “I’m not thinking about anything when I’m climbing,” Honnold said, “I’m focused on doing what’s in front of me.” This strong focus on the present is a sort of meditation (冥想) that we can use in our daily routines.
While the documentary seemingly praises extreme athletes for pushing the limits of human potential, some are concerned about Honnold risking his own life. “His deed puts great stress on his loved ones, even when he succeeds,” Climbing Magazine noted.
Free Solo seems to say that with enough courage and dedication, one can achieve any goal. However, the movie may also be viewed as the disturbing story of a climber who went against all better judgment and got away with it.
13. What do we know about Free Solo?
A. It won an Academy Award in 2017.
B. It was adapted from a book about mountain climbing.
C. It introduces famous extreme climbers around the world.
D. It shows how Honnold climbed El Capitan without any protection.
14. How does Honnold deal with his fear?
A. He practices meditation regularly.
B. He does different exercises to help him relax.
C. He keeps taking on new challenges.
D. He asks experienced climbers for advice.
15. What do Honnold’s loved ones think of him, according to Climbing Magazine?
A. They believe he should value his own life.
B. They think he will reach even greater achievements.
C. They think he should have done more training.
D. They see him as an idol.
【答案】13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了2017年,Alex Honnold在没有任何安全绳索的情况下,独自攀登了加州的El Capitan。纪录片Free Solo于9月6日在中国大陆上映,讲述了Honnold攀登914米高的山峰的勇敢旅程。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段This is especially for extreme climber Alex Honnold, who climbed California's El Capitan by himself, without any safety ropes(绳子), in 2017.(这尤其适用于极限攀岩者Alex Honnold。2017年,他在没有任何安全绳索的情况下,独自攀登了加州的El Capitan。)和第二段The documentary Free Solo, which hit Chinese mainland cinemas on Sept 6, shows Honnold’s brave journey up the 914-meter high mountain.(这部纪录片于9月6日在中国大陆上映,讲述了Honnold攀登914米高的山峰的勇敢旅程。)由此可知,Free Solo展示了Honnold是如何在没有任何保护的情况下爬上El Capitan的,故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段In it, Honnold gives us some useful advice:“You’ll always feel fear, but over time you’ll realize the only way to truly manage your fear is to broaden your comfort zone. It means that challenging yourself is important.”( 在这篇文章中,Honnold给了我们一些有用的建议:“你总是会感到恐惧,但随着时间的推移,你会意识到,真正控制恐惧的唯一方法是拓宽你的舒适区。”这意味着挑战自我很重要。”)由此可知,Honnold通过不断接受新的挑战,来克服他的恐惧,故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段While the documentary seemingly praises extreme athletes for pushing the limits of human potential, some are concerned about Honnold risking his own life. “His deed puts great stress on his loved ones, even when he succeeds,” Climbing Magazine noted.
(虽然这部纪录片表面上赞扬了极限运动员挑战人类潜能的极限,但也有人担心Honnold会拿自己的生命冒险。《攀岩》杂志写道:“他的行为给他的亲人带来了巨大的压力,即使他成功了。”)由此推断出,根据《攀岩》杂志,Honnold的亲人认为他应该珍惜自己的生命,故选A。
【点睛】通过对关键词,关键短语或者是关键的句子的把握是解决推理判断题的重要解题方法之一,它们往往隐藏着深层的意思。小题3根据倒数第二段While the documentary seemingly praises extreme athletes for pushing the limits of human potential, some are concerned about Honnold risking his own life. “His deed puts great stress on his loved ones, even when he succeeds,” Climbing Magazine noted.(虽然这部纪录片表面上赞扬了极限运动员挑战人类潜能的极限,但也有人担心Honnold会拿自己的生命冒险。《攀岩》杂志写道:“他的行为给他的亲人带来了巨大的压力,即使他成功了。”)由此推断出,根据《攀岩》杂志,Honnold的亲人认为他应该珍惜自己的生命,故选A。
