29、re then safe for blacks.分析：句中“that were then safe for blacks”为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词settlements。译文：他们必须依赖“The Negro Motorist Green Book ”来引导他们到定居点，那些定居点那时对于黑人来说是安全的。1B考查细节理解。根据各部电影介绍中的“Current rank”可知，The Favourite的星级最少，故选B。2C考查细节理解。根据Green Book部分最后一句中的“that were then safe for blacks”以及“Type：Drama”可知，C项正

30、确。3D考查细节理解。根据A Star Is Born部分的内容可知，既是导演又是演员的是Bradley Cooper。【语篇解读】俗话说，不要以貌取人。我们也不要以年龄来评价电影明星。21岁的艾丽范宁成为戛纳电影节历史上年龄最小的评审团成员。尽管有人认为她太过年轻，不够资格，可是范宁在三岁时就开始了表演，此后她在多部电影中扮演角色，成为好莱坞最红的年轻明星之一。凭借丰富的表演经验和对艺术的热爱，范宁无疑能够在戛纳电影节上“代表电影界的一个新阶层”。4C考查词义猜测。根据第三段第一句可知，范宁当选为戛纳电影节评审团成员招致了一些人的批评，他们认为范宁与业内其他资深人士相比过于年轻；据此可推知，

31、画线词意为“经验丰富的人，老手”，故C项正确。5D考查细节理解。根据第五段第一句“In her latest movie Teen Spirit . Fanning plays a pop singer”可知，D项正确。6B考查推理判断。根据第五段叙述的无唱歌经验的范宁为扮演一位流行音乐歌手所做的努力和尾段中的“With such rich acting experience and devotion to her art”可推知，作者认为范宁是一位对工作尽心尽力的演员，故B项正确。7A考查主旨大意。根据第二段第一句“At just 21, Elle Fanning made history

32、by becoming the youngest jury(评审团) member at the Cannes Film Festival”并结合全文其他内容可知，本文主要讲述了21岁的艾丽范宁成为戛纳电影节历史上年龄最小的评审团成员，并介绍了她的演艺经历，故A项正确。【语篇解读】本文以一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp的54名员工将近半年时间每周只工作4天，共32小时的情况为例说明了较短的工作周有益于人们的身心健康，并以一项研究来证明。8A考查细节理解。根据第一段可知，一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp的54名员工在每年5月到9月期间每周的工作时间都很短：只有四天

33、，共32小时，持续5个月，大概半年时间，故选A项。9C考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Working 50， 60， or 70plus hours is unnecessary. In fact, if you have to work 50， 60， or 70 plus hours a week, theres a management problem.”可知，弗里德先生认为一周工作五、六十个小时，甚至七十几个小时是没有必要的。如果真这么做了，反而会出现管理上的问题，由此推知，弗里德先生认为人们可以在短时间内把工作做好，故选C项。10D考查推理判断。根据第四至六段，尤其是第四段可知，这个新

34、研究发现长时间工作不只对员工的身心健康有害，工作的强度也会影响员工的职业前景。这是因为难以忍受的工作时长和工作强度会降低工作质量，第五、六两段进一步说明了长时间高强度工作的坏处，由此可以推知，该研究是建议人们要避免高强度工作，故选D项。11C考查主旨大意。文章第一、二段以一家总部位于芝加哥的网络应用公司Basecamp为例，说明了较短的工作周的好处。第三段介绍了较短的工作周的好处。第四至六段介绍了一项有关工作时长和工作强度对人的影响的研究，更进一步印证了较短工作周对人身心方面的益处。由此可知C项最能概括全文内容。.阅读七选五【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了对旧手机进行回收利用的相关情况。1D承接上文

35、“We all want the newest, latest thing”，并结合文章的标题“New Lives for Old Phones”和下文介绍的有关对旧手机进行回收利用的内容可推知，此处是一个过渡句，引出文章的主题，选项D的内容与之呼应，故选D项。2B承接上文“Dont throw your old phone away”，并与上文中的“a mobile phone recycling company”呼应可推知，Mike Townsend建议人们把旧手机给他的公司回收利用，而不是将其扔掉，故选B项。3E根据下文“Thats a lot of landfill and a lot

36、 of poisonous materials”可知，E项：“每年有数百万个手机被扔掉”与之衔接，故选E项。4G承接上文“Most of the materials in the mobile phones can be recycled and used again”并结合下文举的旧手机的电池被再利用的例子可知，G项“我们拆开旧手机，然后将它们的部件用来制造新的产品”符合语境。5A根据下文“You can usually just take it into a mobile phone shop and they will send it to us”可推知，回收利用旧手机并不难，故选A项。
