25、ng forward to hear from you as soon as possible. Yours,Liu Chao答案精解精析.阅读理解A语篇解读 本文为议论文,论证了人们之间彼此分享自身经历的重要性。1.C 推理判断题。文章第一段告诉读者分享经历很重要;第二段通过介绍新闻封锁的负面影响从反面说明不分享信息带来的麻烦。故选 C。2.C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share”可知,人们不愿和
26、他人分享自己经历的原因是缺乏勇气。故选 C。3.A 词义猜测题。这里将被封锁的信息比作装在瓶子里的妖怪,一旦将瓶子打开,它们的破坏力就会被释放出来,可推断画线词语意为“释放,使自由”。故选 A。 64.B 推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第五段第二句和文章最后一句可知作者写这篇文章的目的是说服我们为了自己和他人应该分享自己的经历。B语篇解读 心理学家 Lehanne 开设了一家主题咖啡店,在这里顾客可以敞开心扉,自由表达自己的真实情感。她希望把自己的咖啡店推广到整个法国,因为法国人需要这样的“心理咖啡店”。5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句 Here they are learning to ge
27、t in touch with their true feelings.以及本段最后一句 Lehanne 所说的话中“SayI think,Think me.”可以看出Lehanne 鼓励来咖啡店的顾客表达自己的真实情感。故 D 项符合文章内容。6.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的 Over the years,Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestylelonger working hours,a fast-food boom and a younger generations desire to sp
28、end more time at home.可知,这些年以来,巴黎的咖啡店都成为法国人的生活方式发生改变的受害者,如法国人工作时间变长,非常喜欢快餐,年轻一代更渴望待在家里面(而不愿去咖啡店)。故 A 项符合文章内容。7.C 推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第二句 Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation.可知,许多新的主题咖啡店的出现是为了改变法国咖啡店的现状,故 C 项正确。8.B 推理判断题。最后一段指出中年家庭主妇、退休人员、失业人员会到这样的“心理咖啡店”向心理学家畅谈自己的爱情、愤怒和梦想,“心理咖啡店”会给他们巨大
29、的安慰,因而是最受欢迎的地方之一。故 B 项符合文章意思。.语法填空语篇解读 本文介绍了一位一年级的中国学生给英国伊丽莎白女王二世写了一封信,并收到回信的故事。1.recently recently 在句中作状语。 2.on be based on 根据,以为基础。 3.Seeing 此处是分词作状语,see 与主语之间是主动关系,故用现在分词作状语。 4.himself 主语和宾语指同一个人时,宾语常用反身代词,因此此处用 he 的反身代词 himself。5.that 分析句子结构可知,设空处后面是同位语从句,并且从句中不缺少任何成分,故使用 that 引导。6.traditional 根
30、据句意可知此处表示“传统中国文化”,故用形容词 traditional。7.later two months later 两个月以后。78.was received receive 与主语 letter 之间是被动关系,根据短文时态判断用一般过去时,主语是第三人称单数,故答案为 was received。9.an at an early age 是固定搭配,表示“在很小的时候”,early 的发音以元音音素开头,前面用不定冠词 an。10.introduction 由前面的形容词 detailed 可知,空格处应该用名词,故填 introduction。.短文改错Dear Steven,Im
31、glad that you are coming to Beijing this summer vacation.

33、o from you as soon as possible. Yours,Liu Chao由于该词前是 many,故该词要用复数形式。 由于 city 是可数名词,在本语篇中是第一次出现,故要在它前面用不定冠词 a。由于该词前是情态动词 can,故此处要用动词原形,故用 find。分析句子可知,此处引导一个非限制性定语从句,先行词指物,故关系代词只能用 which 不能用 that。根据语境可知,本文作者写信的对象是 Steven,因此用的是第二人称,故把 we 改成 you。这是一个 there be 句型,谓语动词的单复数要看主语 a great number of tourist attractions,故此处要用复数形式。根据语境可知,长城、颐和园和紫禁城是并列关系,故用 and。this 修饰时间名词作状语时,前面不加 in。8该处应该用形容词来修饰名词 time。look forward to doing sth.是固定搭配,to 为介词,后接动名词作宾语。
