28、Feldman并没有想到自己会获得吉米奖。3.A细节理解题。由最后一段可知,Feldman创办公司是为了在资金上支持某慈善组织。【篇章导读】本文是议论文。回收旧塑料瓶用来制成衣物,这到底是环保还是破坏环境?4.C细节理解题。由第一段中的“Duringthelastfiveyears.todealwithplasticpollution.”可知,塑料这些年被回收利用以制成布料。5.B推理判断题。由第二段中的“Soeverytimethewater.endupinthesea.”可知,洗衣服带来的超细纤维最终进入大海,污染水体。6.D推理判断题。最后一段中提到只有一家公司对这个研究项目进行了资助,

29、其他机构都不认同,由此可知这一项目面临许多困难。7.C标题归纳题。回收塑料制成衣物这个一直被认为很环保的行为最近被发现对环境有危害,本文主要就此话题进行了讨论。C项作标题最能概括文章主旨。二、【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一种让你的旧手机重获新生的办法。1.D由上文中的“Weallwantthenewest,latestthing”及下文中的“Dontthrowyouroldphoneaway”可知,第一段引出一种现象,下文介绍了针对这一问题的解决办法,所以设空处应该是一个承上启下的句子“那么我们的旧手机该怎么办?”2.A根据上文中的“MikeTownsendworksat.Dontth

30、rowyouroldphoneaway.”可知,MikeTownsend在一个手机回收公司工作,他号召人们不要扔掉旧手机,而是把它送到他的公司来回收再利用。故A项符合此处语境。3.E联系上文中的“Mobilephonescontainsomepoisonousmaterials”及下文中的“Thosearealotoflandfillsandalotofpoisonousmaterials”可知,人们每年会扔掉几百万台旧手机,而手机中含有有毒物质,所以这就相当于庞大的有毒物质被释放到环境中。E项在这里起承上启下的衔接作用。4.F根据上文中的“Mostofthematerialsinamobil

31、ephonecanberecycledandusedagain”及下文中的例子可知,旧手机可以被回收再利用后制造成新的产品。5.BB项“回收你的旧手机其实很简单”是对下文的“Youcanusuallyjusttakeitintoamobilephoneshopandtheyllsendittous”的概括。三、1.tourist考查名词。设空处做宾语,表示“游客”,且设空处前有不定冠词,故填名词tourist。2.attractions考查名词复数。设空处做宾语,表示“吸引人的事物”,由many可知,此处应用名词复数,故填attractions。3.exciting考查形容词做定语的用法。设空

32、处做定语,修饰things,表示“令人激动的”,故填形容词exciting。4.are考查主谓一致。此处为倒装结构,句子主语是someofmyfavouritecitiesoftheUnitedKingdom,又因此处表示现在的情况,故填are。5.sadly考查副词。设空处做状语修饰整个句子,表示“很遗憾”,故填副词sadly。6.how考查连接词。设空处引导宾语从句,修饰形容词wrong,故填how。7.that/which考查关系代词。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰city且在从句中做主语,故填that或which。8.to walk考查不定式做补语的用法。allowsbtodosth意为“允许某人做某事”。9.for考查介词。befamousfor意为“以而闻名”。10.trying考查动词-ing形式做宾语的用法。considerdoingsth意为“考虑做某事”。
