19、ut the next spring, they feed on the trees, often with a result of destruction of the trees.可知幼虫以树叶为食,所以树叶的大小和昆虫的数量有关系。故选D项。2.C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中According to Dr. Hoch and his team, autumn colors might be able to protect the leaves from sun damage or frost(冰冻)injuryin other words, they actually act as a

20、sunscreen to avoid the destruction of the leaves.可知秋天的树叶有保护作用,金黄色保护叶子免受伤害,故选C项。3.D词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词前一句When the larvae(幼虫)come out the next spring, they feed on the trees, often with a result of destruction of the trees.和后一句They could have strong defenses by letting egg-laying insects know what was in s

22、本文叙述的是秋天树叶变化的秘密。故选B项。 B1.B本句为主旨句。空格位于段首。空格后描述跳舞在美国的流行程度:从佛罗里达州到阿拉斯加州,从北到南到大海上。在婚礼上、在生日派对上、在办公室派对上人们都在跳舞。由此可知到处都能看到美国人在跳舞,与B项吻合,所以答案为B项。2.D本句为过渡句。空格前作者用直接引语的方式描述了“教舞蹈简直太美妙了”。空格后句子中出现的代词them指代的就是Bridges所教的学生。D项中的students和them相对应,所以答案为D项。即我的那些年龄大的学生说舞蹈让他们感觉自己年轻。3.A本句为主旨句。空格位于段首。后面以一对年轻夫妻为例说明了跳舞给他们带来的好处。由此推断出本段是描述跳舞会给一个人的情绪带来巨大的影响,这就是人们喜欢跳舞的原因。这与A项(那么,我们为什么要跳舞呢?)相符。4.F本句为细节句。空格前描述这对夫妻刚来到舞蹈班时情绪低落,当他们离开的时候脸上露出了微笑。这都是舞蹈给他们的情绪带来的变化。这与F项(舞蹈好像彻底改变了他们的情绪。)相符。5.E本句为过渡句。空格前描述这么多年来Hillier想跳得越来越好。空格后描述Hillier发现自己就是停不下来,跳舞让Hillier知道自己还活着。作为前后过渡的空格处应该与Hillier一直不停地跳舞相关,这与E项(即使当我非常累的时候我还在练习跳舞。)相符。
