What probably made Marie Kondo’s book the bestselling one? A. It is easy to follow. B. There is a TV show to explain it better. C. It guides the fans to tidy up things day by day. D. Fans are getting more and more advantages of tidying up. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Marie Kondo的KonMari收纳方法，展示了这种收纳方法的核心理念和实践步骤，并探讨了其受欢迎的原因和存在的争议。 【41题详解】 主旨大意题。综合全文，尤其是根据第二段“Kondo’s way of tidying up things is known as the KonMari method.”可知，本文主要介绍了KonMari方法。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Ever since she was a child, Kondo has found joy in organizing things.”可知，自从孩提时代起，Kondo就喜欢整理东西。故选D。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Its followers must first sort out clothes, then books, papers, and at last things that are connected to special memory.”可知，Kondo的追随者首先需要分类处理衣服。故选C。 44题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“When Kondo said she only kept about 30 books in her home and had thrown away all the rest, many people were against her.”可知，Kondo说只保留了约30本书，其他都扔掉了，这让很多人反对她；人们认为KonMari方法过于苛刻、残忍；据此可以推断，划线单词“harsh”意为“苛刻的，残忍的”，与“cruel”同义。故选A。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Kondo has gathered many fans. She says, ‘If you want to lead a life that sparks joy, there’s only one thing you must do. And that is to tidy your home.’”以及最后一段“But Kondo replied becoming angry shows how much they love books. That in itself is a very important advantage of tidying up.”可知，Marie Kondo的收纳整理方法受到了广泛的欢迎，她因此聚集了大量的粉丝；说明她的方法不仅能够帮助粉丝们创造更加整洁、有序的生活环境，更重要的是，它还能够引导粉丝们反思自己的价值观，珍惜真正重要和喜欢的事物，从而提升生活的满足感和幸福感；据此可以推断，粉丝们从她的收纳整理方法中受益多多是她的书受到广泛欢迎和追捧的原因。故选D。 第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题共35分) 五、根据所给的汉语意思完成句子 (共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分) 46. 因为这场雨，我们今天无法在室外打篮球了。 We can’t play basketball outside today ____________________ the rain. 【答案】because of 【解析】 【详解】根据英汉对照，缺少“因为”。因为，由于because/because of。空后为名词，用because of。故填because of。 47. 今天天怎么会这么蓝？ __________ __________ the sky is so blue today? 【答案】 ①.

So, the bat…(decide) to become a child’s pet, and then the bat made a plan.”可知，蝙蝠看到当宠物的小鸟有食物有水，还什么事情也不用做，也想当一只宠物，根据“didn’t do”和首字母a可知此处应用anything作宾语。故填(a)nything。 【57题详解】 句意：因此，那只蝙蝠决定成为孩子的宠物，接着，蝙蝠制定了一个计划。根据“the bat made a plan”可知句子应用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故填(d)ecided。 【58题详解】 句意：那只蝙蝠飞到了孩子们可以看见他并把他带回家的公园。根据“could”可知句子应用一般过去时，谓语动词应用过去式。故填flew。 【59题详解】 句意：然而，那只蝙蝠长得太难看了，孩子们都没注意到他。空格前后两句存在转折关系，用表示转折关系的副词however来衔接，位于句首，首字母要大写。故填However。 【60题详解】 句意：因此蝙蝠决定让他自己变得更漂亮。根据上文“the bat was so ugly”可知，蝙蝠长相难看，根据“make himself”和首字母b可知此处应用more beautiful“更漂亮的”作宾语补足语。故填(b)eautiful。 【61题详解】 句意：一开始，蝙蝠在他的笼子里过得很开心，他在一个温暖舒适的房子里。根据“But when he wanted to eat something, there were no insects for him.”可知，他想吃东西时，没有虫子吃，这不会让人开心，连词but说明前面说的内容应是与之相反的，根据首字母h可知应用形容词happy“开心的”作表语。故填(h)appy。 【62题详解】 句意：当男孩注意到蝙蝠变瘦的时候，他用同样的鸟食去喂蝙蝠，以便蝙蝠可以只习惯吃那种食物。根据“so that the bat could be only used to eating that kind of food”可知，为了让蝙蝠只习惯吃某种食物，那就要用同样的食物去喂他，根据首字母s可知应用形容词same“相同的”修饰名词bird food。故填(s)ame。 【63题详解】 句意：过了几天，蝙蝠拼尽全力逃出了笼子，回了家。try one’s best to do sth“尽力去做某事”，根据“Some days later”可知句子应用一般过去时，谓语动词用过去式。故填(t)ried。 【64题详解】 句意：后来，他变得更加强壮，喜欢上了他作为蝙蝠的日子了。根据“Later”可知，此处表示前后对比，应用形容词strong的比较级stronger作表语。故填stronger。 【65题详解】 句意：只要接受你现在的样子，让你自己的生活变得更好。根据上文“In fact, it’s the best only when it fits you”可知，只有适合自己的才是最好的，可见要让自己的生活变得更好，此处应用比较级better作宾语补足语。故填(b)etter。 八、书面表达 (共1大题，满分15分) 66. 你的英语老师布置了一项口语交际的作业，要求每一位同学介绍自己的一位好朋友。你的好朋友李明热爱运动，学习成绩也很好。请你根据以下内容提示向大家介绍李明。内容提示： 1.

It calms people,” said Erica Yun, the owner of the cafe. While Yun and her daughter, Helen, serve up coffee, customers play with the cats. Unlike other cafe, Meow Cat Cafe has a few rules.

Customers connect with each other over their common interest—love of cats. “I am getting such a kick out of them,” said Lucy, a customer.

Ever since she was a child, Kondo has found joy in organizing things. Now, 34, she has written a bestselling book and presented a TV show about it. Kondo’s way of tidying up things is known as the KonMari method. It sets out how to organize things. Its followers must first sort out (分类处理) clothes, then books, papers, and at last things that are connected to special memory. Anything that doesn’t spark (激发) joy should be thanked and then thrown out. Kondo has gathered many fans. She says, “If you want to lead a life that sparks joy, there’s only one thing you must do. And that is to tidy your home.” However, some people said that the KonMari method is too harsh, especially when it comes to books. When Kondo said she only kept about 30 books in her home and had thrown away all the rest, many people were against her. They said that having books makes them happy. When they think of someone throwing away books or having only a few books, they become angry. But Kondo replied becoming angry shows how much they love books. That in itself is a very important advantage (益处) of tidying up. 41. What is the passage mainly about? A Kondo’s fans. B. The KonMari method C. Kondo’s books. D. The KonMari TV show. 42.
