必修第二冊(cè)UNIT5閱讀題組——練速度Ⅰ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文,介紹了2023年即將發(fā)行的一些新書。1.D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二個(gè)小標(biāo)題StatelessbyElizabethWein下的“Thisthrillingmurdermysterysetin1937Europe”可知,選D項(xiàng)。2.A解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)GoodforaGirlbyLaurenFleshman下的“InGoodforaGirl,Fleshmantellshertruestoryof”以及“Yet,thebookisn’tjustamemoir.”可知,這本書屬于紀(jì)實(shí)文學(xué),選A項(xiàng)。3.D解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)兩本書對(duì)應(yīng)段落的最后一句可知,TheVilla讀到最后才知道誰是真兇,AlltheDangerousThings充滿反轉(zhuǎn)讀到最后才知道誰是可信的,因此兩本書都要讀者一直猜測(cè),選D項(xiàng)?！菊Z篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了美國(guó)醫(yī)學(xué)協(xié)會(huì)的主席PatriceHarris的相關(guān)事跡。4.C解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“ButneverinmywildestdreamsdidIthinkIwouldbepresidentoftheAmericanMedicalAssociation(AMA).”可知,她做夢(mèng)也沒想過會(huì)成為美國(guó)醫(yī)學(xué)協(xié)會(huì)主席,由此可見,她以前從來沒打算過成為這個(gè)主席。故選C項(xiàng)。5.C解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Harrisworkedextremelyhardtoachieveherdream.Shesaid,‘Inlife,noneofusgetthroughwithoutanysetback.What’simportantistolearnfromthesechallenges.’”可知,人的生活中都會(huì)有挫折,最重要的是要從這些挑戰(zhàn)中去學(xué)習(xí),而歷經(jīng)這些挫折加上勤奮才能成功。由此可知,她要把自己的成功歸功于從挫折中學(xué)習(xí)。故選C項(xiàng)。6.B解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中“Butitisnotawards,shesaid,butrathertreatingandcaringforherpatientsthathasmotivatedherthroughouthercareer.”和“...fessionofmedicine”可知,作為一名醫(yī)生,是治療和照顧病人這件事成為她職業(yè)生涯的動(dòng)力,可知她對(duì)工作是全心全意的。故選B項(xiàng)。7.D解析詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第三段中“...becauseeveryopportunitythatIhavetohelpapatientinneedissomeaningful,anditshowsmewhyIoriginallywantedtogointotheprofessionofmedicine”可知,她認(rèn)為每次有機(jī)會(huì)幫助病人是很有意義的,由此可見,她認(rèn)為和病人的互動(dòng)是值得的,fulfilling與下文meaningful相呼應(yīng),故選D項(xiàng)。【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了“毅力號(hào)”探測(cè)器的主要任務(wù),及其登陸火星過程中的情況。8.A解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段可知,火星引力會(huì)使得接近火星的航天器更快速行進(jìn),并且火星稀薄的大氣層對(duì)減緩航天器的速度幾乎沒有幫助,故減速是“毅力號(hào)”探測(cè)器登陸火星的特別挑戰(zhàn)。故選A項(xiàng)。9.C解析段落大意題。通讀第三段內(nèi)容可知,該段尾句“Itisnowonderthatthefinalapproachisoftenreferredtoasthe‘sevenminutesofterror’.”為本段總結(jié)句,再結(jié)合該段上文可知,該段主要介紹了“七分鐘內(nèi)
