A【文章大意】 本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,主要介紹了如何健康飲水,以及飲水量應(yīng)為多少。1.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句和第三句可知,作者通過(guò)擺事實(shí),舉例子來(lái)證明水對(duì)人的身體的重要性,故選A。2.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“You may have heard that you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day.”可知,88原則就是每天要喝64盎司的水,故選B。3.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“The 88 rule essentially overlooks two big sources of daily water consumption. One such source is food.”以及“The other key water source is other beverages.”可知,88原則的缺陷就是忽略了人們從食物和飲料中攝取的水量,故選A。4.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后兩句“If you are looking for concrete advice, though, the best place to look is within. Drink water when youre thirsty.”可推知,作者最后對(duì)飲水量多少的建議就是渴了就喝水,故選B。B【文章大意】 本文是一篇議論文,主要討論了人們對(duì)一些食物的錯(cuò)誤認(rèn)識(shí),提倡人們正確認(rèn)識(shí)食物,健康飲食、快樂(lè)飲食。5.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“And when we avoid certain foods, we usually compensate by consuming too much of others.”可推知,人們?cè)诒苊饽承┦澄飼r(shí),會(huì)食用過(guò)量其他食物來(lái)進(jìn)行補(bǔ)充,故選B。6.A詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第四段第四句的轉(zhuǎn)折,并與前文形成對(duì)比可推知,實(shí)際上普通美國(guó)人每天食用三克多一點(diǎn)兒的鹽是不過(guò)分的,對(duì)健康是有利的,由此可推知,畫(huà)線(xiàn)短語(yǔ)的意思是“合適的”,故選A。7.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段倒數(shù)第二句“For most people, its entirely possible to eat more healthfully without living in terror or struggling to avoid certain foods together.”和對(duì)最后一段的整體理解可推知,作者羅列出人們所恐懼的食物目的是提醒人們這些都是不必要的,只要適量食用,這些食物對(duì)身體健康是沒(méi)有壞處的。畢竟人們總是要吃飯的,吃飯是一種快樂(lè)而不是恐懼,故選C。8.D標(biāo)題概括題。根據(jù)第一段的導(dǎo)入,并結(jié)合最后一段的點(diǎn)題可推知,本文主要講述的是人們對(duì)食物的一些錯(cuò)誤的恐懼認(rèn)識(shí),作者提倡快樂(lè)飲食、健康飲食,故選D。.【文章大意】 本文是一篇記敘文,主要講述了一家美國(guó)中餐廳的發(fā)展史。1.their考查代詞。此處用形容詞性物主代詞their修飾名詞first Chinese restaurant,在語(yǔ)境中作定語(yǔ)。2.relatives考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知,此處表示人的概念,且沒(méi)有被冠詞修飾,故用復(fù)數(shù)形式。3.a考查冠詞。a total of意為“總共”,符合語(yǔ)境,故用不定冠詞a。 4.celebrating考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境this year可知,此處用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí),表示現(xiàn)在正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作或狀態(tài),與語(yǔ)境中is呼應(yīng)。5.for考查介詞。固定詞組搭配:wait for意為“等待”,符合語(yǔ)境,故用介詞for。6.to be考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。want to do sth意為“想要做某事”,符合語(yǔ)境,故用不定式作賓語(yǔ)。7.merely考查副詞。副詞修飾動(dòng)詞、副詞、形容詞或者整個(gè)句子,在句子中作狀語(yǔ),故用副詞merely修飾介詞短語(yǔ)in malls。8.reasonable考查形容詞。修飾名詞的詞一般為形容詞,故用形容詞reasonable修飾名詞rent,在句子中作定語(yǔ)。9.developed考查動(dòng)詞時(shí)態(tài)。與語(yǔ)境中now呼應(yīng)可知,此處用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),即:have+done的形式,表示過(guò)去發(fā)生的事情對(duì)現(xiàn)在造成的影響。10.what考查連詞。what引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句,在從句中作賓語(yǔ),表示物的概念。.Dear Jim,Id like to invite you for dinner in a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles.
