25、第二段中的“I heard from many people concerned about their trees”，根据该处的后两句可知，作者几乎无能为力的原因是“公共和私人城市树木资源和项目几乎完全是为了种树，而不是维护树木”，故C项正确。3答案与解析：B考查推理判断。通读第三段可知，本段主要通过呈现研究发现说明了老树带给我们的好处，文中“Scientists are learning that”和“In a recent study, researchers found that”是提示，故B项正确。4答案与解析：C考查推理判断。作者在最后一段提到我们想要树木保护我们，但我们却不保护它

26、们，紧接着作者打了一个比方：人们生下婴儿后不可能对其不管不顾就期望婴儿能成功，孩子需要照料，我们就有了学校和儿童健康保险项目。由此可推知，作者提到照料婴儿是为了提倡像人类照顾婴儿那样保护树木，故C项正确。.七选五语篇类型：记叙文主题语境：人与自我改变自己走出舒适区，闯出新天地【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了失业的Brian在太太的鼓励和支持下，创办了自己的咖啡店。实现了自己的梦想。1答案与解析：D考查上下文衔接。根据空前的“我们每天都在同一个家醒来，穿上同样的衣服，乘坐同样的交通工具去做同样的工作”可知，我们的生活总是一成不变；而空后一句“虽然人类坚持常规是非常自然的，但在我们的舒适区之外，还有很多

27、东西等着我们去发现”则讲到了人们可以做出改变，因此空处讲到的应该是做出改变有多难，故D项符合语境。2答案与解析：G考查上下文衔接。根据空后一句“他知道很难再找到一份工作”可知，空处讲到的应该是他失业了，所以G项符合语境。3答案与解析：F考查上下文衔接。空前一段讲到了Brian失业之后失落的状态，空后则讲到了他不愿无所事事，他的太太也鼓励他努力向前，所以F项“经过考虑，几周后他决定做出改变”符合语境。4答案与解析：A考查上下文衔接。上文讲到了Brian的太太鼓励他创造属于自己的事业，而空后一句则讲到了Brian在离家八个街区远的地方找到了他想要的东西一个现成的咖啡馆。据此可知，空处讲到的应该是做

28、出改变的机会来了，故A项符合语境。5答案与解析：C考查上下文衔接。空前一句讲到了一个现成的咖啡馆表现不佳，老板也不愿意再干了，空后一句则讲到了但是他没有足够的钱面对这一天，所以空处讲到的应该是面前这个机会就是他想要的，故C项符合语境。.完形填空语篇类型：夹叙夹议文主题语境：人与社会人际交往警察人性化处理一起涉嫌偷窃事件【语篇解读】讲述三名警官人性化处理一起涉嫌偷窃事件的故事。1答案与解析：D根据首句中“the temperature approached as high as 90 F last July 4th”和生活常识判断，由于气温高，所以警官们是进店买冷饮的。2答案与解析：B根据“Th

29、e woman in question”以及下文警官们在这个女子的包里发现的食品可知，她是被怀疑的。suspected“被怀疑的，涉嫌的”。3答案与解析：A根据下文这个女子有行窃行为且当场被抓，满脸泪水可判断，她很害怕。4答案与解析：D根据第二段中“Im hungry”以及“Well pay for her food”判断，这个女子包里是食物。5答案与解析：D根据后一句中“Caught redhanded”，即当场被抓住可知，这个女子很无助地解释。此处helplessly意为“无能为力地，无助地”。6答案与解析：A根据上文情节以及“Caught redhanded”可知，这个女子毫无疑问会被当

30、作小偷。7答案与解析：C根据下文警官为这个女子的食物付钱判断，此处表示警官有其他想法。idea意为“想法，构思，主意”。8答案与解析：B根据第一段中“they were asked by a security guard to help with a _2_ woman”以及情节发展可知，保安原本以为这个女子会被当成小偷，因此警官的做法让他感到诧异。9答案与解析：A警官为她的食物付了钱，她不会被拘捕了。arrest“逮捕”。10答案与解析：D根据第一段中“and her cheeks were wet with tears”可知，此处表示这个女子擦干了湿润的脸颊。11答案与解析：B根据上文情节

31、判断，警官的做法应该出于同情，此处表示她并不是唯一一个被这种同情行为感动的人。12答案与解析：C根据“She wasnt the only one touched by this act of”以及下文可知，此处表示这家商店的顾客对他们所看到的事印象深刻，甚至有人在网上发布了一张照片。witness意为“目击，亲眼看见”。13答案与解析：A根据语境可知，上下文为转折关系，表示“然而，警官们从来都不想引起注意”。14答案与解析：D此处表示他们被一种更为普遍的情感所驱使。drive意为“驱使，迫使”。15答案与解析：C根据句意并结合上文情节可知，当我们看着别人的脸并清楚他们需要我们的时候，作为一个

When Ada stepped away, Roys mama ran over and held Roys face in her hands. “Thank you, Ada，” she said. Ada helped them lift Roy into the truck

Thats an important skill.” Adas face turned red, “I was afraid.” Betty shook her head. “Its OK for a nurse to be afraid, as long as she has a clear head. The volunteer doctors are coming tomorrow with vaccines (疫苗). We need a hand. Can you help？”“Id love to，” Ada replied at once. “Come early, then.
