Sign?A.Informative. B.Changeable. C.Awe-inspiring. D.Plain.C觀點態(tài)度題。由第一段中的“it’strulyremarkableviewing”可知，這次觀看體驗很棒，故C項正確。awe-inspiring“令人驚嘆的；使人敬佩的；令人敬慕的”。答案與解析6.WhatcanbelearnedaboutThe

Sign?A.Ithighlightsparentingskills. B.Itisaprimetimecomedy.C.Itfeaturesbigeventsinlife. D.Itunfoldsanadultworld.B推理判斷題。由第三段中的“Alongsidemoregenuinelylaugh-out-loudmomentsthaninmostprimetimecomedies(與大多數(shù)黃金時段的喜劇相比，它除了有更多讓人發(fā)自內(nèi)心捧腹大笑的時刻之

外)”可知，than后面是對比的對象，既然是與黃金時段的喜劇相

比，《標志》自然是一部黃金時段喜劇，故B項正確。答案與解析7.Whatistheauthor’spurposeinmentioningCalypso?A.Topraisehergreatwisdom. B.Toshowherattitudetolife.C.Toadvocateherteachingstyle. D.Toleadintheancientphilosophy.D寫作意圖題。第四段第一句提到這一集借鑒了道家哲學。介紹了一小段劇情：因為布魯伊要搬走，Calypso老師給布魯伊讀了《農(nóng)夫》的故事，安慰他；第五段接著介紹這個故事出自《淮南子》，接著具體闡述故事隱含的道理。由此說明提到Calypso老師是為了引出這個古老的哲學道理。答案與解析8.Whatdoestheauthorimplyinthelastparagraph?A.Wewillneverknowwhatisgoodluckornot.B.Embracingwhateverchangeisthebestpolicy.C.Noteverythingwillchangeforthebetter.D.Nevergiveupdespitelife’suncertainties.B推理判斷題。由最后一段可知，如果站在宏觀角度，我們無法控制甚至無法真正知道發(fā)生在自己身上的事情是好是壞，我們唯一能確定的就是變化注定會發(fā)生，解決問題最好的辦法是對變化保持開放的態(tài)度，并相信事情會朝著最好的方向發(fā)展。由此可知，B項“接受改變是上策”符合文章要表達的思想。答案與解析閱讀C

界，失去旅行提供的東西是無法接受的。由此可推斷，空處應(yīng)該討論是否停止旅游這項活動。故選B項。答案與解析2.C本段小標題是“謹慎選擇”，再根據(jù)空前的“Withsomanyonlineposts...deeplydrawsyou.”可推知，很多人盲目跟風選擇旅游地，只有當目的地的景色、文化或食物真正吸引你時才去?？仗幵诮Y(jié)尾處，應(yīng)該緊扣本段標題和空前內(nèi)容，點出選擇旅行應(yīng)是為自己而不是為別人。故選C項。答案與解析3.E根據(jù)空前的“Thoughovertourismisdescribedasaproblem...Thatmeansyouhavetonsofless-visitedoptionstochoosefrom.”可

知，過度旅游只集中在少數(shù)非常受歡迎的地方，游客其實還有更多選擇的空間。空后的“Whynottryaregionalalternativeorcheckoutapopulardestination’slesser-knownsights?”鼓勵游客去嘗試一些地區(qū)性或知名度相對較低的景點旅游，以此緩解過度旅游的壓力?？仗帒?yīng)承上啟下，涉及游客能選擇的其他地方，E項中的“undiscoveredplaces”符合題意。答案與解析4.A本文是總(Para.1)—分(Para.2至Para.4)—總(Para.5)結(jié)構(gòu)，分析第二至四段的段落結(jié)構(gòu)和特點(祈使句主旨句+內(nèi)容)可知，本空(位于第四段段首)應(yīng)是本段主旨句。根據(jù)本段中的“skippingmajorholidaysorrushhour”“boosttheeconomywhentourismistraditionallyslower”可知，本段建議跳過重大假期或高峰時間去旅行。A項“非高峰時間去旅游”能夠精準概括段落大意。答案與解析5.G根據(jù)空前的“Doyourparttopreservewhatmakesadestinationspecialinthefirstplace.”可知，盡自己所能去保護旅游地，再根據(jù)空后的“Youmaybeamazedhowmuchcloseryou’llfeeltothepeoplethere.”可推斷空處應(yīng)提到如何盡自己所能，G項“考慮為游覽的社區(qū)做一些貢獻”既解釋了上文，又是下文的原因。答案與解析完形填空

1.B考查名詞詞義辨析。句意：一群志愿者在羅德島州普羅維登斯的WhatCheer花卉農(nóng)場破土動工已經(jīng)快七年了，他們的目標很簡單：把花送到需要提神的人手中。beginning“開始，開端”；goal“目標”；pleasure“快樂”；achievement“成就”。根據(jù)下文“getflowersintothehandsofanyoneinneedof
