【答案】36.F37.C38.G39.E40.A

【解析】【分析】這是一篇記敘文。主要講述了作者夫婦兩人在巴黎的居住的感受。首先，作者介紹了她住

的房子；其次，說(shuō)明了巴黎人生活非常精致的原因；最后，說(shuō)明法國(guó)人對(duì)待生活的態(tài)度，相較于工作效率

他們更看重生活品質(zhì)。

【36題詳解】

上文“MyhusbandandIjustspentaweekinParis.（我丈夫和我剛在巴黎待了一周）“說(shuō)明了背景；下文“Sothe

firstthingwedidwasrentafantasticallyexpensivesixth-floorapartmentthesizeofacupboard.（所以我們做的第

一件事就是租了一個(gè)非常昂貴公寓，在第六層，只有一個(gè)櫥柜那么大）”是空格處的結(jié)果，因此空格處需要填

原因；根據(jù)F項(xiàng)“Ouraimwastoseeifwecouldlive,insomeway,likerealParisians」我們的目標(biāo)是看看我們是

否在某種程度上可以活的像巴黎人。廣可知，作者要在巴黎住下來(lái)，所以需要租房子，兩句構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系。

故選F項(xiàng)。

【37題詳解】

上文“Theplacewasn'tentirelyauthentic,though』不過(guò)，這個(gè)地方并不是地道的法國(guó)住房）”是段落的中心句，

說(shuō)明第二段主要內(nèi)容是講解公寓的情況。下文提到了樓宇和電梯的情況。C項(xiàng)“Therewasanicekitchenanda

comfortablebed.（有一個(gè)漂亮的廚房和一張舒適的床）”提到了廚房和床，這些都屬于公寓的配置。故選C項(xiàng)。

【38題詳解】

上文”...theyeatgreatfoodandnevergainweight.（他們吃得很好，而且從不發(fā)胖）“提及了食物。下文“French

strawberriesdonottastelikecardboard.Instead,theyexplodeinyourmouthlikelittleflavorbombs.（法國(guó)草莓嘗

起來(lái)不像紙板。相反，它們會(huì)像小炸彈一樣在你嘴里爆炸）”在說(shuō)明法國(guó)的草莓很好吃。上下文結(jié)合可知，因

為法國(guó)的食物質(zhì)量很高，所以不用吃很多就能很滿足，同時(shí)吃的少也就不會(huì)發(fā)胖了。G項(xiàng)“Thefoodisso

deliciousthatyoudon'tneedmuchofittomakeyouhappy.（食物是如此美味，你不需要吃太多就能使你快樂(lè)）”

符合語(yǔ)境要求。故選G項(xiàng)。

【39題詳解】

第三段主要描述了作者夫妻去了采購(gòu)了食物，買了草莓。下文“MyhusbandandIagreedtheywerethebestfruit

wehadevereaten.Buttheycost$18!（我丈夫和我都認(rèn)為這是我們吃過(guò)的最好的水果。但它們要18美元!）”說(shuō)

明法國(guó)的水果好吃但是也很貴。選項(xiàng)E"That'snottheonlyreasontheFrencheatlessthanwedo.（這并不是法國(guó)

人吃得比我們少的唯一原因廠承接了上一段關(guān)于法國(guó)人吃的少但是不胖的話題，同時(shí)引起下文，給出了法國(guó)

人吃的少的另一個(gè)原因‘物價(jià)貴故選E項(xiàng)。

[40題詳解】

本艮據(jù)上文“InFrance,qualityoflifeismuchmoreimportantthanefficiency（效率）.Youcantellthisbycafeslife.

Frenchcafesarealwayscrowded.（在法國(guó)生活質(zhì)量比效率更重要。這一點(diǎn)你能從咖啡館生活看出來(lái)。法國(guó)的

咖啡廳總是很擁擠）”可知，上文說(shuō)明了法國(guó)人對(duì)待工作不是很積極且咖啡廳里顧客很多。下文“Whendothese

peoplework?（這些人什么時(shí)候工作？）”是一個(gè)問(wèn)句，說(shuō)明本句屬于過(guò)渡句，承接上文說(shuō)明咖啡廳里的造成擁

擠的客人的情況，A選項(xiàng)中有“customer”符合咖啡館的情境設(shè)定，同時(shí)講述了不是所有的客人都是游客，那

么意味著大部分人都是當(dāng)?shù)厝耍舷挛牡奶釂?wèn)。故選A項(xiàng)。

【答案】ILG12.A13.E14.F15.B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文。主要介紹了PauloMagalhaes創(chuàng)建的過(guò)程及其現(xiàn)狀。

PauloMagalhaes非常喜歡明信片但是苦于身邊沒(méi)有與他志趣相投的人，于是他開(kāi)始從網(wǎng)上尋求志同道合的

人,因而創(chuàng)立了o隨著公司在全球不斷壯大，語(yǔ)言成為溝通的主要障礙，后來(lái)英語(yǔ)被選為

共同語(yǔ)言方便大家交流。

【11題詳解】

上文“PauloMagalhaes,a34-year-oldPortuguesecomputerengineer,lovestoopenhismailboxandfindabrightly

coloredimageofRome'sColosseum.OrAfrica'sVictoriaFalls.OrChina'sGreatWall.（34歲的葡萄牙電腦工程

師PauloMagalhaes喜歡打開(kāi)他的郵箱，然后發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)色彩鮮艷的羅馬斗牛場(chǎng)圖像?；蛘叻侵薜木S多利亞瀑

布?；蛘呤侵袊?guó)的長(zhǎng)城）”介紹了Paulo喜歡明信片的個(gè)人愛(ài)好。andyourealizethatnoteveryoneisinto

it.”說(shuō)明他身邊缺少與他志趣相投的人。選項(xiàng)G"Inshort,helovespostcards,andtheexcitementofgettinga

scribblednotefromsomeonefaraway.（簡(jiǎn)而言之，他喜歡明信片，也喜歡收到遠(yuǎn)方某人潦草的便條時(shí)的那種興

奮）”起到承上啟下的作用，總結(jié)了上文Paulo喜歡明信片，也引出下文關(guān)于他的喜好得不到回應(yīng)的問(wèn)題。故

選G項(xiàng)。

【12題詳解】

上文“"Ioftensendpostcardstofamilyandfriends."hesaystoChinaDaily,ltbutyoucanimaginethatafterawhile,

youneverreceiveasmanyasyousend,andyourealizethatnoteveryoneisintoit（“我經(jīng)常名合家人和朋友寄明信

片，”他說(shuō)，“但你可以想象，過(guò)一段時(shí)間，你收到的明信片不會(huì)像你寄的那么多，而且你意識(shí)到并不是每

個(gè)人都喜歡這樣。”廣說(shuō)明Paulo意識(shí)到身邊的親人和朋友不是都和他有相同的愛(ài)好，因此他也很坦然接受

這個(gè)事實(shí)，因此選項(xiàng)A“那完全沒(méi)問(wèn)題”符合語(yǔ)境。故選A項(xiàng)。

【13題詳解】

上文“TodayhishobbyhasevolvedintothewebsiteP,asocialnetworkthathasgrownto575,217

registeredusersin214countriesandregionssincehelaunchedit10yearsago.（如今，他的這個(gè)愛(ài)好已經(jīng)發(fā)展成了

名注冊(cè)用戶丫'是在介紹目前網(wǎng)站的發(fā)展?fàn)顩r，因此符合文意的只有E選項(xiàng)“8月5日，會(huì)員互贈(zèng)的明信片數(shù)

量達(dá)到3100萬(wàn)張”是在介紹該網(wǎng)站相關(guān)的數(shù)據(jù)。故選E項(xiàng)。

【14題詳解】

上文“AscoolasitmaybetoreceiveapostcardwritteninChinese,theconceptdoesn'tworkifonedoesn't

understandit.（收到一張用中文寫(xiě)明信片可能很酷，但如果你不理解它，這個(gè)概念就行不通）”是舉例說(shuō)明他

國(guó)人收到中文明信片時(shí)的問(wèn)題。選項(xiàng)『Similarly,ifyouspeakonlyChinese,receivingacardwritteninSwedish

takespartofthefunaway.（同樣地，如果你只會(huì)說(shuō)中文，收到瑞典語(yǔ)的卡片也會(huì)奪走一部分樂(lè)趣）”是舉例說(shuō)明

中國(guó)人收到他國(guó)語(yǔ)言明信片時(shí)也會(huì)遇到相同的問(wèn)題。兩句相結(jié)合，符合結(jié)論句的語(yǔ)義要求，故選F項(xiàng)。

【15題詳解】

上文“ManypeopleinChinahavelimitedexposuretoEnglish.（許多中國(guó)人很少能接觸到英語(yǔ)）“說(shuō)明對(duì)某些人來(lái)

說(shuō)學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的門(mén)檻較高。結(jié)合下文"…whoactuallyimprovedtheirEnglishskillsthroughtheiruseof

postcrossing.（他們實(shí)際上通過(guò)使用明信片來(lái)提高他們的英語(yǔ)技能）”可知，寫(xiě)明信片成為一種練習(xí)英語(yǔ)的渠道。

因此選項(xiàng)B“這使得學(xué)習(xí)和練習(xí)它變得格外困難”符合語(yǔ)境要求，說(shuō)明對(duì)一些人來(lái)說(shuō)學(xué)習(xí)和練習(xí)英語(yǔ)的難度

較高，因?yàn)榍垒^少。故選B項(xiàng)。
