【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句中的increasinglytakingover,意为“越来越占据统治地位”,可知dominant意为“占优势的;占支配地位的”,与C项同义。30.Howmanylanguagesarespokenbylessthan6,000peopleatpresent?A.About6,800.B.About3,400.C.About2,400.D.About1,200.【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句Themediannumberofspeakersisamere6,000,whichmeansthathalftheworld’slanguagesarespokenbyfewerpeoplethanthat.以及第四段第一句中的thetotalof6,800languages可知答案为B。31.Whatisthemainideaofthetext?A.Newlanguageswillbecreated.B.People’slifestylesarereflectedinlanguages.C.Humandevelopmentresultsinfewerlanguages.D.Geographydetermineslanguageevolution.【解析】选C。主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述随着人类社会的发展,语言的种类越来越少,故C项为正确答案。【难句剖析】...andAsiaandthePacificperhaps3,200,ofwhichPapuaNewGuineaaloneaccountsforwellover800.分析:ofwhich引导一个非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词3,200。句中的well为副词,意为“相当;远远地”。翻译:……亚洲和环太平洋地区大概有3200种语言,其中仅巴布亚新几内亚一个国家的语言就远超800种。英语第27页（共27页） (2018·全国卷Ⅲ·D)话题:简单的物品也能激发快乐　词数:307难度:★★★　　Adultsunderstandwhatitfeelsliketobefloodedwithobjects.Whydoweoftenassumethatmoreismorewhenitcomestokidsandtheirbelongings?ThegoodnewsisthatIcanhelpmyownkidslearnearlierthanIdidhowtolivemorewithless. Ifoundthepre-holidaysagoodtimetoencourageyoungchildrentodonateless-usedthings,anditworked.Becauseofourefforts,ourdaughterGeorgiadiddecidetodonatealargebagoftoystoalittlegirlwhosemotherwasunabletopayforherholidayduetoillness.Shechosetosellafewlargerobjectsthatwerelessoftenusedwhenwepromisedtoputthemoneyintoherschoolfund(基金)(ourkindergartendaughterisseriousaboutbecomingadoctor).Forweeks,I’vebeenthinkingofbigger,deeperquestions.Howdowemakeitahabitforthem?Andhowdowetrainourselvestohelpthemlivewith,need,anduseless?Yesterday,Isatwithmyson,Shepherd,determinedtotestmyowntheoryonthis.Idecidedtoplaywithhimwithonlyonetoyforaslongasitwouldkeephisinterest.Iexpectedthatonetoywouldkeephisattentionforaboutfiveminutes,tenminutes,max.Ichosearedrubberball—simple,universallyavailable.Wepassedit,hetriedtoputitinhismouth,hetriedbouncingit,rollingit,sittingonit,throwingit.Itwastotally,completelyenoughforhim.BeforeIknewitanhourhadpassedanditwastimetomoveontolunch.英语第27页（共27页） Webothbecameabsorbedinthesimplicityofplayingtogether.HehadmyfullattentionandIhadhis.Mylittleexperimenttofindjoyinasingleobjectworkedforbothofus.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。本文主要通过引导孩子主动捐献玩具,并从玩耍简单玩具中获得快乐的做法阐述了一个生活哲理:简单的物品也能激发快乐。32.Whatdothewords“moreismore”inParagraph1probablymean?A.Themore,thebetter.B.Enoughisenough.C.Moremoney,moreworries.D.Earnmoreandspendmore.【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据第一段第一句Adultsunderstandwhatitfeelsliketobefloodedwithobjects.可知,作者认为成年人都理解到处都是物品的那种感觉,后面又用反问句提出了问题:但是,说到孩子们和他们的物品,我们为什么通常又认定moreismore呢?由此推知,这里的moreismore与前面的floodedwith的意思呼应,指“越多越好”。故选A。【易错误区】本句容易误选为其他选项,原因在于学生不能正确理解文章开头两句话的真正含义,B项表示“够了就行了”;C项:Moremoney,moreworries.钱多烦恼多;D项:Earnmoreandspendmore.挣得多花得多;这几个选项均不符合语境。33.WhatmadeGeorgiaagreetosellsomeofherobjects?A.Savingupforherholiday.B.Raisingmoneyforapoorgirl.英语第27页（共27页） C.Addingthemoneytoherfund.D.Givingthemoneytoasickmother.【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句Shechosetosellafewlargerobjectsthatwerelessoftenusedwhenwepromisedtoputthemoneyintoherschoolfund可知,女儿愿意卖几件玩具,是因为我们承诺把钱放入她的上学基金,可以推知女儿卖几件玩具的原因是想增加她的上学基金,故选C。34WhydidtheauthorplaytheballwithShepherd?A.Totryoutanidea.B.Toshowaparent’slove.C.Totrainhisattention.D.Tohelphimstartahobby.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中Howdowemakeitahabitforthem?Andhowdowetrainourselvestohelpthemlivewith,need,anduseless?可知,作者一直在试图想找到一个办法,让孩子们养成“物品少也能生活得很愉快”的习惯,为了找到这个办法,作者去和儿子Shepherd玩球,故答案选A。35.Whatcanbeasuitabletitleforthetext?A.TakeitorLeaveitB.ALessonfromKidsC.LiveMorewithLessD.ThePleasureofGiving【解析】选C。主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句ThegoodnewsisthatIcanhelpmyownkidslearnearlierthanIdidhowtolivemorewithless.英语第27页（共27页） 以及下文中的例子,证明了生活其实并不需要过多的外在物质,简单的生活一样可以过得很充实很精彩。因此C项符合题意。【易错误区】本题容易误选D。由于文章在第二段中提到了作者鼓励孩子们捐赠物品,可能会使学生误以为本篇文章目的在于讨论给予的乐趣,而忽略文章中提到的ThegoodnewsisthatIcanhelpmyownkidslearnearlierthanIdidhowtolivemorewithless.暗含的关键信息。【难句剖析】Whydoweoftenassumethatmoreismorewhenitcomestokidsandtheirbelongings?分析:这是一个主从复合句,主句是由Why引导的特殊疑问句,其中包含一个that引导的宾语从句,whenitcomestokidsandtheirbelongings是时间状语从句,whenitcomesto意为“一谈到,就……而论”。翻译:说到孩子们和他们的物品,为什么我们就常常认为越多越好呢?(2018·北京卷·A)话题:体育运动　词数:330W　难度:★★MyFirstMarathon(马拉松)Amonthbeforemyfirstmarathon,oneofmyankleswasinjuredandthismeantnotrunningfortwoweeks,leavingmeonlytwoweekstotrain.Yet,Iwasdeterminedtogoahead.Irememberbacktomy7thyearinschool.InmyfirstP.E.class,theteacherrequiredustorunlapsandthenhitasoftball.Ididn’tdoeitherwell.HelaterinformedmethatIwas“notathletic”.英语第27页（共27页）

但他在脚踝受伤的情况下,依然凭借着自己坚强的毅力成功地完成了第一次马拉松比赛。作者通过他的经历告诉我们:只要有决心、一往直前、摆脱世俗的标签,就一定能够获胜。36.Amonthbeforethemarathon,theauthor　　　. A.waswelltrained　　　B.feltscaredC.madeuphismindtorunD.losthope【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句可知,尽管作者比赛前受伤,但他依然决定要跑马拉松。37.WhydidtheauthormentiontheP.E.classinhis7thyear?A.Toacknowledgethesupportofhisteacher.B.Toamusethereaderswithafunnystory.C.Toshowhewasnottalentedinsports.D.Toshareapreciousmemory.【解析】选C。推理判断题。结合最后一段可推知,作者在七年级的时候,老师就给作者贴上了“不善于运动”的标签。因此,作者提到那时的经历来表明他在运动方面没有天赋,为下文作者摆脱世俗的标签、挑战自我埋下伏笔。38.Howwastheauthor’sfirstmarathon?A.Hemadeit.B.Hequithalfway.C.Hegotthefirstprize.D.Hewalkedtotheend.【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知,作者历经艰难,最后成功地完成了马拉松比赛。39.Whatdoesthestorymainlytellus?A.Amanoweshissuccesstohisfamilysupport.英语第27页（共27页） B.Awinnerisonewithagreateffortofwill.C.Failureisthemotherofsuccess.D.Oneisnevertoooldtolearn.【解析】选B。主旨大意题。作者通过第一次参加马拉松比赛的经历告诉我们:挑战自我、拥有坚强的意志力是赢得胜利的关键。【难句剖析】WhenIstartedrunninginmy30s,Irealizedrunningwasabattleagainstmyself,notaboutcompetitionorwhetherornotIwasathletic.分析:本句为主从复合句。when引导时间状语从句。runningwasabattleagainstmyself,notaboutcompetitionorwhetherornotIwasathletic作动词realized的宾语。翻译:当我三十多岁开始跑步的时候,我意识到跑步是对抗自己的一场战争,不是为了比赛或者为了证明我是否是擅长运动的。(2018·天津卷·A)话题:大学生应注意校园生活中与防火相关的信息　词数:363W　难度:★★　　FirePreventionInformation`　　TheUniversityofAdelaideemploysafull-timestaffoffirepreventionprofessionals.Theyinspectallcampusbuildingsandtestandmaintainallsprinkler(喷水灭火装置)systems,firealarms,andfireextinguishers(灭火器).Theyalsoprovideeducationalprogramsonfiresafetyintheresidencehalls.Wheneveryoumovetoanewarea,youshouldlocatethefirealarmpullstationsandthetwoexitsnearestyourroom.FireAlarms英语第27页（共27页）

【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章第一句中的“aclassicthatIwassupposedtohavereadwhenyoungandambitious”以及第二段最后一句中的“whichfeelsalmostlikecheating,tooexcitingandtoomuchfuntoproperlybelonginseriousliterature”可知,作者认为自己读的书趣味性太强,不能属于严肃文学这一类,这违背了最初自己想要读自己年轻时应该读而没读的书的意愿,所以感觉像作弊。故选B。30.Whatcanbeasuitabletitleforthetext?A.TheBooksofSummerB.MySummerHolidaysC.ToReadorNottoReadD.It’sNeverTooLatetoRead【解析】选A。主旨大意题。文章第一段讲述了自己每年夏天都要读一本名著,以及读书时的场景,第二三段讲述了今年夏天读书的困惑和情景,故文章主要讲了夏天和书。故选A。【难句剖析】There’salways“WarandPeace”,whichI’vecoveredsomedistanceseveraltimes,onlytogetboggeddowninthe“War"part,setitasideforawhile,andrealizethatIhavetostartoverfromthebeginningagain,havingforgotteneveryone’snameandsocialrank.分析:主句部分是There’salways“WarandPeace”,其后为which引导的定语从句,其中only用在不定式前表示结果出人意料,getboggeddown,setitaside和realizethat为并列动词短语,havingforgotteneveryone’snameandsocialrank为现在分词短语作状语修饰前面的并列动词短语。英语第27页（共27页） 翻译:读《战争与和平》时,每次读到“战争”部分就会停滞不前,把它放在一边,然后就会忘记每个人的名字和社会地位,又不得不从头开始读。英语第27页（共27页） 英语第27页（共27页）
