Unit4EverydayeconomicsⅠ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了什么是數(shù)字囤積、囤積的內容、囤積者的類型以及囤積的原因等。1.B推理判斷題。根據文章第一段內容可知,本文主要圍繞“數(shù)字囤積”這一社會現(xiàn)象展開。再結合下文內容可知,下文介紹了囤積的內容、囤積者的類型以及囤積的原因等。由此可推知,本文主要是為了向讀者介紹“數(shù)字囤積”這種現(xiàn)代社會中存在的現(xiàn)象。故選B項。2.A詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞所在句中的“wherethingsgetcomplexandoutofcontrol”和“thatarehardtobegroupedintoonecategory”可知,miscellaneousdata指的是復雜且無法控制的東西,這種東西難以歸類。由此可推測出,只有數(shù)據種類繁多且混雜,才會難以把其歸類。miscellaneous意為“混雜的,各種各樣的”,與diverse意思最為接近。故選A項。3.D推理判斷題。根據第二段Antoinette說的話中的“It’sinterestinglookingbackatthestartoftherelationshipsomanyyearsagoandwhoIwasthen,andIcanseehowtherelationshiphaschanged.”可知,Antoinette對自己存的數(shù)據有很強的感情。再根據倒數(shù)第二段中的“Finally,‘anxioushoarders’havestrongemotionaltiestotheirdataandareworriedaboutdeletingit.”可知,Antoinette屬于焦慮的囤積者。故選D項。4.C推理判斷題。第四段講述了作者也是一個數(shù)字囤積者,作者的三臺電腦里都存滿了東西。根據第四段中的“MyfirsthomescreenisfilledwithappsIuseeveryday”,“MysecondhomescreenhasappsthatIdon’tusequiteasmuch,butstillwantwithineasyreach”和“Mythirdhomescreeniswherethingsgetcomplexandoutofcontrol”可知,作者在三臺電腦上囤積了很多東西,但絲毫沒有為此感到煩惱,這說明他對數(shù)字囤積持容忍的態(tài)度。故選C項。【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了作者認為語言與道德有關,列舉了兩個實驗并對這種現(xiàn)象進行了總結。5.D細節(jié)理解題。根據前兩段內容可知,作者認為語言與道德有關。故選D項。6.A推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“InaresearchledbyAlbertCosta,volunteerswerepresentedwithamoraldilemmaknownasthe‘trainproblem’:Imaginethatatrainischargingatfivepeoplestandingonthetrack,unabletomove.”以及第四段中的“InanotherresearchconductedbyJanetGreipel,volunteersreadactsthatmanypeoplefindimmoral,suchasstorieswheresomeonecookedandatehisdogafterithadbeenkilledbycar.”可知,作者通過仔細地引用例子證明他的觀點。故選A項。7.A推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“Whenweuseaforeignlanguage,weunconsciouslysinkintothemoredeliberatemodesimplybecausetheeffortofoperatinginourno-nativelanguageactivatesourcognitivesystem.Thisissimilartofindingsthatreadingmathproblemsinahard-to-readtypefacemakespeoplelesslikelytomakecarelessmistakes.”可推知,提到“數(shù)學問題”是為一種思維模式辯護。故選A項。8.C標題歸納題。文章主要說明了作者認為語言與道德有關,列舉了兩個實驗并對這種現(xiàn)象進行了總結。由此可知,C選項“語言:一種塑造道德的力量”最適合作文章標題。故選C項?!菊Z篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章講述運動中的安全問題,以腦震蕩為例,由一開始的忽視到后來得到重視的過程,以此來告訴我們運動中安全問題至關重要。9.C推理判斷題。根據第一段“Severalyearsago,Iwas...greatconcernrushedthroughmymind.”可知,作者當時正與球隊一起進行腦震蕩研究項目,而教練命令隊員去打對面的人,由此可推斷出,作者一定是擔心教練沒有意識到其中潛在的傷害。10.A細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段的“However,fordecades,...tostayonthefieldand‘playthroughthepain’asasignoftoughness.”可知,以前,運動員在遇到與運動相關的腦震蕩時往往會忽視它。故選A項。11.A主旨大意題。根據第四段“Intheearly1900sfootball...improvehelmetsasnewmaterialsbecomeavailable,guidedbythenewestscience.”可知,該段主要是說運動員所戴頭盔的改進與變化。12.B推理判斷題。根據文章的最后兩句“Yet,participationinanysport...playsafelyatalllevelsisessential.”可以推斷出,運動安全怎么強調都不為過。故選B項。Ⅱ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章結合作者看到大象被細繩綁住但不逃脫的原因的解釋,提到了生活中也有一些類似的人,他們低估自己的能力、才能和潛力,認為自己不會成功。最后作者指出,我們應該相信自己,需要與時俱進,跳出思維定式。1.B根據上文“thesehugeanimalssho
