【答案】8.A9.B10.C11.A

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了挪威一家石油公司的億萬富翁正在買一艘最先進(jìn)的船。這艘船

配備了最新的設(shè)備，每天將從海洋中清除5噸塑料。他希望人類能盡快行動(dòng)起來保護(hù)海洋。

【8題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段"Worthtwobilliondollars,heplanstogivemuchofhismoneyawayandisstarting

withcleaningupouroceans.（身價(jià)20億美元的他計(jì)劃捐出大部分錢，并從清理我們的海洋開始。）”可知，

他打算清理海洋。故選A。

【9題詳解】

詞句猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線單詞下一句"Withthelatestequipmentonboard,theshipwillremovefivetonsofplastic

fromouroceansdaily.（這艘船配備了最新的設(shè)備，每天將從海洋中清除5噸塑料。）”可知，這艘船上的設(shè)

備都是最新的，所以劃線單詞stateoftheart的意思指的是“先進(jìn)的”。選項(xiàng)A"Beautiful（美麗的）”；選項(xiàng)

B"Advanced（先進(jìn)的）"；選項(xiàng)C"Expensive（昂貴的）"；選項(xiàng)D"fortable（舒適的）”。故選B。

【10題詳解】

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句"ManagedbytheconservationorganizationWWF,theship'smissionisto

getthepoisonousthingsoutoftheoceans.（這艘船由保護(hù)組織世界自然基金會(huì)管理，其任務(wù)是將有毒物質(zhì)從

海洋中清除。）”可知，這艘船的任務(wù)是去除海洋中的有毒物質(zhì)。再根據(jù)第三段“Itcouldn'teatabetter

time.EarlierthisyearakillerwhalewasheduponaUKshorewaspoisonedbymanmadechemicals.Thewhale

calledLuluwasthemostpoisonedonrecord.（這來得正是時(shí)候。今年早些時(shí)候，一頭被沖上英國海岸的虎鯨

被人造化學(xué)物質(zhì)毒死。這頭名為Lulu的鯨魚是有史以來中毒最嚴(yán)重的。）”可推斷，文章提到名叫Lulu的

鯨魚是為了告訴我們海洋污染的嚴(yán)重性和后果。故選C。

【11題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后——段“Yetinthestruggletosavetheenvironment,unlikelypartnersmustwork

together.（然而，在拯救環(huán)境的斗爭(zhēng)中，看似不可能的伙伴必須攜手合作。）”可知，WWF之所以與Kjell

合作是覺得海洋污染問題需要合作努力才能解決。故選A。

可能性。

【12題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“"Someformsofmeditationhaveyoufocusonasingleobject,monlyyourbreath,

butOMMisabitdifferent,,,Linsaid."Ithasyoupayattentiontoeverythinggoingoninyourmindandbody.

（“有些冥想形式讓你專注于一個(gè)單一的對(duì)象，通常是你的呼吸，但OMM有點(diǎn)不同，”林說?！八屇阕?/p>

情，故選D。

【13題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中""Thesefindingsareastrongdemonstrationofwhatjust20minutesof

“這些發(fā)現(xiàn)有力地證明了僅僅20分鐘的冥想就可以提高大腦發(fā)現(xiàn)和注意錯(cuò)誤的能力?！埃笨芍?，研究結(jié)

果表明，冥想者可以提高他們識(shí)別錯(cuò)誤的能力。故選B。

【14題詳解】

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后——段中"Thenextphaseofresearchwilldeterminewhetherchangesinbrainactivitycan

translatetobehavioralchangeswithmorelongtermpractice.（下一階段的研究將決定大腦活動(dòng)的改變是否能通

過更長期的練習(xí)來改變行為。）”可知，下一階段的研究是找出大腦活動(dòng)的改變是否會(huì)改變行為，由此可

知，研究小組接下來會(huì)試圖研究冥想對(duì)行為的影響。故選C。

【15題詳解】

主旨大意題。通讀全文，尤其是第一段"Ifyouareforgetfulormakemistakeswheninahurry,anewstudy

fromMichiganStateUniversity（MSU）foundthatmeditation（冥想）couldhelpyoutobeelesslikelytomake

mistakes.（如果你在匆忙中健忘或犯錯(cuò)誤，密歇根州立大學(xué)的一項(xiàng)新研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，冥想可以幫助你減少犯錯(cuò)的

可能性。）”可知，文章主要介紹了密歇根州立大學(xué)的一項(xiàng)研究表明，冥想可以幫助你減少犯錯(cuò)的可能性，

所以D項(xiàng)“冥想可以幫助你減少犯錯(cuò)的可能性”適合做文章標(biāo)題，故選D。

【答案】16.E17.D18.F19.G20.B

【解析】

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了幾種讓你的生活更美好、更愉快的方法。

【16題詳解】

根據(jù)前文"Everyoneatsometimefeelsthattheirlifeisgoingnowhereandfast.（每個(gè)人都會(huì)在某個(gè)時(shí)候覺得

自己的生活毫無進(jìn)展---而且很快）“以及后文"Nothingcanbeatlivinganactive,purposeful,successfullife

filledwithhappinessandachievement.（沒有什么能比過一種積極的、有目標(biāo)的、充滿快樂和成就的成功的生

活更好的了）”可知，空處應(yīng)是一個(gè)過渡句，將文章主題轉(zhuǎn)向積極的生活。所以E項(xiàng)“Itistimetodo

somethingtoincreasethequalityofyourlife.（是時(shí)候做點(diǎn)什么來提高你的生活質(zhì)量了）”符合題意。故選E

項(xiàng)。

【17題詳解】

根據(jù)本段小標(biāo)題"Treatyourself.（對(duì)待自己）“可知，本段主題是要對(duì)自己好一點(diǎn)，再根據(jù)前文“Doiftmake

excusesaboutnothavingtimeormoney.（不要拿沒時(shí)間和沒錢做借口）”可知，D項(xiàng)"Treatscanbefree,and

youcanalwaysmaketime.（對(duì)自己好可以是免費(fèi)的，而且你總能擠出時(shí)間）”是對(duì)前一句的進(jìn)一步解釋，其

中Treats為同詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。故選D項(xiàng)。

【18題詳解】

分析設(shè)空可知，空處位于段尾，應(yīng)該是對(duì)本段的總結(jié)，根據(jù)本段小標(biāo)題“Takeupahobby.（培養(yǎng)一種愛

好）“可知，本段主要說培養(yǎng)一種愛好，能提高你的生活質(zhì)量，所以F項(xiàng)"Itdoesn'tmatterwhatitisifyou

enjoyitandcanbeabsorbedbyit.（它是什么并不重要，只要你喜歡它并能被它所吸引）”是對(duì)愛好的總結(jié)，符

合文意。故選F項(xiàng)。

【19題詳解】

分析設(shè)空可知，空處位于段首句之后，應(yīng)是對(duì)段首句的進(jìn)一步補(bǔ)充說明，根據(jù)前句“Learninganewskillis

oneofthemostsatisfyingthingsyoucando.（學(xué)習(xí)一項(xiàng)新技能是你能做的最令人滿意的事情之一）”可知，G

項(xiàng)“Youwillfeelasenseofachievementthatwillboostyourselfimage（你會(huì)有一種提升自我形象的成就感）”

是對(duì)前句的補(bǔ)充說明，符合文意。故選G項(xiàng)。

[20題詳解】

分析設(shè)空可知，空處應(yīng)是本段小標(biāo)題，是對(duì)本段的高度概括，根據(jù)后文uOftenwelosesightofthepositive,

beneficialthingsinourlives.Everyonehasthingstobegratefulforandmakingalisthelpstoconcentrateyour

mindonthesepositives.Sitdownwithapadandpencil,preferablyinaquietplacewhereyouwon'tbe

disturbed.Allowyourselfafewminutestothinkaboutyourlifeandidentifythegoodthings.（我們經(jīng)常忽視生活中

積極、有益的事情。每個(gè)人都有值得感激的事情，列一個(gè)清單可以幫助你把注意力集中在這些積極的事情

上。拿著便簽紙和鉛筆坐下來，最好是在一個(gè)不會(huì)被打擾的安靜地方。給自己幾分鐘時(shí)間思考你的生活，

找出美好的事物）”可知，本段主要是說找出生活中值得感激的事情。所以B項(xiàng)“Createagratitudelist.（列

一個(gè)感謝清單）”符合文意。故選B項(xiàng)。

第三部分英語知識(shí)運(yùn)用

第一節(jié)完型填空（共20小題;每小題1.5分，滿分30分）
