18、作中受伤;C:对未来不确定;D:生物会被迫离开栖息地。以上三项在文中均未被提及,故全部排除。6.C事实细节题。根据第二段中的 “She had found a young owl on the ground.”和第三段中的“I examined the chick and it seemed fine.”可知,作者接到一位居住在Muttontown的妇女的电话,于是赶过去看看这只雏鸟的情况。选项C中的“look at(检查)”与文中的“examined”相对应,故答案为C项。7.A事实细节题。题干中的“calm down”是关键词。文中第四段指出作者把雏鸟放进特意为它做的鸟巢后,它很快安静了下

20、onths. Spring! We often describe “spring” as a time of rebirth, renewal and awakening. Many trees are blossoming and early flowers are pushing through the earth.

21、y. When you put “spring” and “life” together, you will get “spring to life”. This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive! You may “spring to life” after hearing that a distant friend will be visiting you. Or maybe your favorite soccer team finally “sprang

22、 to life” in the second half, played well and won the match.Now, besides being a season and a verb, the noun “spring” refers to a metal coil (线圈) that is wound tightly. When the coil unwinds, it often jumps. So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active. He might ev

23、en appear to jump, or bounce a little when he walks.There is another way we use “spring” as a description. In the case of a “spring chicken”, “spring” means young. However, “spring chicken” is also an informal and humorous way to refer to someone who is young. So, we use this expression in the negat

24、ive form, as in “no spring chicken”. For example, lets say you know an 85-year-old man who decides to run a marathon, even though he has never exercised before. You could say, “Thats amazing! After all, hes no spring chicken.”But be careful when using this expression. It could be a little disrespect

25、ful.

C.Happy.D.Frightened.答案语篇解读本文为说明文。文章讲述了spring及其短语的不同意义和用法。9.D词义猜测题。本题题干意为:词组“spring to life”中的“spring”是什么意思?根据第二段中的This expression means something suddenly becomes very active or perhaps seems more alive!可知,“spring”在短语 “spring to life”中为动词,意为:迅速发生或出现,故答案为D项。10.C主旨大意题。本题题干意为:本文主要讲的是什么?纵观全文,文章讲

28、述的是spring在一些短语中的不同含义,故答案为C项。11.C推理判断题。本题题干意为:当某人步伐充满活力时(has a spring in his step),他感受如何?根据第三段中的So, we often say a person “has a spring in his step” if he is lively and active.

Myopia or shor

30、t-sightedness is becoming more common. Lack of natural light seems to be the key issue. “The main factor seems to be a lack of exposure to direct sunlight, because children who study a lot and who use computers or smartphones or tablet computers a lot have less opportunity to run around outside and

31、are less exposed to sunshine and because of that children seem to be at more risk of developing short-sightedness.”Professor Hammond says, “It may be that theres no coincidence that in East Asian countries, the most myopic ones all correlate with the maths league tables(排名表).

33、ng outside as much as possible. In a perfect world, probably on average across the week and the weekend, two hours a day outdoors can prevent children becoming short-sighted. Healthy diet is also important; get oily fish and green vegetables as much as possible. “What we need to look at is ways of m

34、odifying the impact that these indoor activities have on their visual development,” Professor Hammond said. “There are eye drops and other treatments to slow myopia progression. But in terms of preventing myopia itself, there isnt any data out there at the moment in terms of the question Could the d

38、kids答案语篇解读越来越多的孩子近视,研究表明这与户外运动少有关。12.D词义猜测题。根据本句可知,孩子们因为学习或者使用电脑、手机等时间过长,所以没有什么机会去户外晒太阳,因此增加了患近视的风险。由此可推断that指代“晒太阳少”,故D项正确。13.D推理判断题。根据第三段可知,在东亚,近视与学习压力有关,D项符合文章内容。14.C推理判断题。根据最后一段的But in terms of preventing myopia itself, there isnt any data out there at the moment in terms of the question.可知,目前还没有数据显示滴眼液对于防止近视有没有效果,故控制近视依然是件艰难的工作,C项符合文章内容。15.C主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章指出户外活动时间少是导致近视的主要因素,C项符合文章主旨。
