30、ally in a warm environment. But this is not the only problem you may face.

31、ym or set out on a run.So why is this? How do we manage to lose so much water without simply drinking more to replace it? Well, its easier than you think. When we are at rest, we quickly become aware that we are thirsty and will put that right by having a drink. When we exercise, on the other hand,
32、our thirst mechanism (结构) does not work as effectively, so we dont notice early enough that we are actually thirsty. In fact, we only start to fed thirsty when we have already lost around two percent of our body weight.Another problem is that, the more dehydration we become during exercise, the more

39、sort of exercise you are doing.”可知，根据运动量设置饮用水量。故选 B。15. 主旨大意题。文章讨论了人体水分对人体健康和运动的影响。选项 A“保持健康”概念太大，不符合文意；选项 B“对运动说再见”不符合文意；以及选项 D“避免脱水的方法”概括片面。C 项“喝水的时间到了！”作文章题目最适合 。【名师点睛】主旨大意主要的解题策略有：（1）标题类。文章标题可以是单词，短语，也可以是句子，它的特点是：短小精悍，多为一短语；涵盖性强，一般要求能覆盖全文，其确定的范围要恰当，既不能太大，也不能太小；精确性强，不能随意改变语言表意的程度及色彩。（2）主旨类。概括主旨的方
40、法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。此时，要注意一些转折词，如 but, yet, however, although, in spite of, by contrast, on the contrary 等。当文章中表示相反的观点时，往往用到这些词。答题时要弄清哪个是作者的观点，排除迷惑性信息，准确归纳主旨大意。例如文章的第 4 小题：C【解题剖析】此题属于主旨大意中的（1）一一标题
41、类。答案需要理解文章后归纳文章中心。【推理关系】题干 What would be the best title for the text? 第一段指出脱水会影响你的运动表现；第二段指出脱水导致的问题；第三、四段讲述我们为什么会失那么多的水；第五段是如何防止脱水。所以文章通篇是讲水的重要性，鼓励人们喝水。【答案】概括文章标题 D 选项 Time to get drinking!（该喝水了！）是适合的文章标题第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项How to develop courage by ove
42、rcoming daily fearsAt times, when it comes to courage, we tend to believe it only applies to rare and uncommon situations.

44、7_ You might come to understand that youre afraid of failing or taking chances. You may be fearful simply because you dont have confidence in yourself. The key is not to dwell on your fear, but rather to understand what it is that youre worried about.Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen.If
45、 you hesitate to take action, ask yourself this: whats the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then go on to improve on the worst. Is failure the worst thing that can happen?

46、ou are assured of getting nowhere.Take action._19_. You cannot think courage comes just in one day. You need to act to overcome your fear.

You neednt wait for an emergency to occur to develop courage.【答案】16. G 17. F 18. E 19. D 20. B【解析】试题分析：文章主要是描述每天都会有害怕的产生，与此同时就可以培养出克服害怕的勇气，文章给读者提出了一些产生勇气的建议。【小题 1】G 根据前文的
49、描述，每天的生活中都充满了勇气，它并不仅仅是要面对危险时候做出的英雄行为，故此处衔接为不需要等到紧急情况，答案为 G。【小题 2】F 根据前一句的描述，可知你有可能知道自己到底害怕什么，因此紧接着描述的是查明是什么在阻碍着你，更和后句你开始知道是失败意思上配起来了。故答案为 F。【小题 3】E 前一句说失败不是发生的最坏的事情，因此衔接的是每一个不期待的结果就是迈向你目标的一步，故答案为 E。【小题 4】D 前一句说勇气来自于行动。此句结构中有 comes，正好对应 D 项中的 comes，意思上也能接起来，故答案为 D。【小题 5】B 根据本段中 you need to do the same thing over and over again 可知是要你不断重复地去训练，练习。故答案为 B。【名师点睛】七选五阅读题，有部分题出现在每一段的开始位置，
