Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival It came into being 8 years later than Lollapalooza. It’s held on three-day weekends on end in April in California. In 2025, it’ll be from April 18th to 20th and April 25th to 27th. General admission costs $549.

The keys to getting the most out of it are to keep portions (份额) small and avoid those with added sugars. And choose the fruits that offer the biggest benefits, like the three here. 1. Apricots PORTION SIZE 5 apricots CALORIES 95 These orange orbs supply vitamin E, which helps to protect cells against the kind of damage that can trigger cancer and other chronic diseases. You also get 3 grams of fiber and 10 percent of the Daily Value. 2. Figs PORTION SIZE 5 figs CALORIES 105 Figs have more fiber than many other dried fruits, and they supply a decent amount of calcium. They may sometimes look like they’ re sprinkled with sugar, but they’ re not. The natural fruit sugar in the figs can crystallize and leave a white coating. 3. Prunes PORTION SIZE 4 prunes CALORIES 92 Research suggests the mix of antioxidants and other nutrients in prunes may help build up bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis.

He has collected some texts for reference, two of which are shown below for his writing. Text 1 Exploring the sea usually means exploiting it, which has caused numerous problems and will continue to cause more. More exploration means more pollution. The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million gallons （加仑） of oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also harmful, killing many birds and fish, and has even been found in our tap water. Mining for resources is damaging, especially in the Arctic. Climate change has led to less ice, which means we can look for more fossil fuels（化石燃料） further north. But if we burn these, the ice will melt more, thus worsening this negative cycle. Whales and dolphins are also overfished for their meat or for research. Although this was banned in 1982, some countries are still “murdering” these intelligent creatures without mercy. The sea stretches out immeasurably but it is more sensitive than we think. If we don't protect it, future generations will not forgive us. Text 2 To truly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans which cover most of it. Opponents may be concerned, but sea exploration matters to the future. Gaining more insights into the sea will also help us manage its resources better. Logging new species will improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may enable us to discover new medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy. Accessing the deep ocean may provide hints of events such as earthquakes. The population of the world is growing and we need new resources for future development. There are probably vast amounts of resources under the sea and ice, not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals. The related environmental risks should be balanced with economic needs. Hopefully, as technology improves, we can have more options for managing this balance. 40. Which of the following can be inferred from the texts? A. Plastic pollution has directly contributed to the melting of Arctic ice. B. Logging new species could lead to advancements in medicine and food production. C. Overfishing has been completely stopped due to international bans introduced in 1982. D. The population growth worldwide has reduced the need for deep-sea resources. 41. Before writing, Li Lin puts forward some questions. Which question CAN NOT Li Lin find the answer to from the texts? A. What's the purpose of sea exploration? B. How does sea exploration cause damage to the sea? C. What benefits can sea exploration bring to other research fields? D. What can we do to balance environmental protection and sea exploration? 42. If Li Lin is determined to write an essay based on opinions from both texts, which of the following will most probably be the central theme of his essay? A. Ways to improve the efficiency of sea development. B. Technological breakthroughs in sea exploration. C. Balance between the impact of sea exploration and its benefits. D. Appeal to protect the sea from unsustainable exploration. 题型03 “文章出处”题 【来源】上海市建平中学2024-2025学年高三上学期9月月考英语试卷 Universal Studios Singapore Have your fun multiplies across 6 themed zones.

A. £6.45 B. £8.40 C. £10.75 D. £12.90 A ■Lisa — Exhibition programmes Organizer, Science Museum I’M responsible for putting temporary exhibitions together. This includes planning and designing the exhibition and promoting it. I have to read up about the subject of the exhibition beforehand and then talk to important people in the area so that I can establish the main themes and alms of the exhibition, and plan what objects and pictures should be displayed. I have to make sure the public can understand the thinking behind the exhibition, which means planning Interactive displays, workshops and theatre. I also have to bring in engineers and electrician s to make sure the final display is not dangerous to visitors. Before the exhibition opens, I help design and write the leaflets that well use to tell people about it. ■Sarah — Marine conservationist I live by the coast and work from home. This involves responding to telephone enouines, producing education al resources and setting up training courses. Occasionally, I go into our main office but generally I am on the coast. I also work with schools and study centres and run courses for coastal managers and those Involved in making decisions about the fate of the seas. I do things like take them out to sea in a boat in an attempt to make them think more about the life underneath them. This often changes their views as it’s very different from making decisions using a computer screen. I am extremely lucky because conservation is my hobby, so the job has many highs for me. The downside of the job is that I work for a charity, so there is a constant need for more money. This means I’m always looking for more resources and I’m not able to achieve everything I want. ■Janet — Teacher of London Taxi Drivers THE first thing I do when I get here at 7.30 a. m. is check the accounts. Then I see what new maps and documents need to be produced in order to learn the runs or routes necessary to pass the London taxi- driver test By midday, about 50 students are in school, working out how to make the journeys. They work out the most direct route, using the correct one- way streets, and right-and left-hand turns. I get involved when there’s a difference of opinion — like whether you can do a right turn ala particular junction. When they’ re close to the test, I’ll give them a simple route and no matter what way they say they’ll go. I’ll tell them they have to use another route because the road is closed. The next student will have to find a third route and again. I’ll come up with a reason why they can’t go that way. It’s just to make them think. ■Chris — Map Publisher MY work is pretty varied. I have to make sure that the publishing programme matches market requirements, and ensure that we keep stocks of 300 or so of the books that we publish. We have very high standards of information and content. We receive many letters from readers on issues such as the representation of international boundaries and these in particular require a careful response. I discuss future projects and current sales with co- publishers. I work as part of an enthusiastic Group which makes the job that much more enjoyable. The negative side, as with many jobs, is that there is far too much administration to deal with, which leaves less time to work on the more interesting tasks such as product development and design. 4．According to the passage, whose job involves much outdoor work? A．Lisa’s. B．Sarah’s. C．Janet’s. D．Chris’s. 5． needs to introduce problems that require solutions in her work. A．Lisa B．Sarah C．Janet D．Chris 6．According to Chris, which of the following is the downside of her work? A．Financial limitation. B．Lack of time for something interesting for her. C．Readers’ misunderstanding. D．Too much negotiations with co- publishers.

Al: Now you ask, I’m not really even sure what a watercooler is. But the basic idea is to find a place where you know colleagues are bound to go regularly and where you can engage in light conversation about whether they saw anything good on TV last night. My advice is to hang around any tap and you should meet colleagues fairly regularly. Q2: I have just been promoted into a senior role. I have noticed that many of my new peers like to open meetings with small personal anecdotes about something that happened to them that day-a minor cycling accident, say, or a chance encounter with an old acquaintance. It seems to be a way of getting people to relax a bit. The trouble is that nothing interesting ever seems to happen to me. What should I do? A2: I wouldn’t worry too much. Those stories are mostly made-up and all deliberately boring. No executive ever opens a meeting talking about how they woke up in their own clothes but in a total stranger’s apartment. The goal is only to put people at their ease by making the speaker seem faintly human. Just say exactly what you put in your message above and then make your face go a bit vulnerable. That should do the trick. Q3: I can never time my interjections correctly. If I try to judge when a speaker is about to stop talking, I either break in too early and end up apologizing for interrupting, or am a beat too slow and someone else grabs the floor. Do you have any tips? A3:There are only three ways to handle this common problem. One is to start so loudly that everyone immediately gives way. You may come up against a fellow-shouter and then it’s just a battle of nerves: who is going to give way? The second is to raise your hand and wait: you’ll get your turn eventually and be listened to. The third is to get promoted. If you are senior enough, it doesn’t matter how ridiculous a point you are making;everyone gives way. Keep sending me your problems, and enjoy the break! 7．Which of the following will benefit most from the passage? A．An experienced career adviser. B．A graduate who is eager to find a job C．A young manager who has just been promoted. D．A CEO who wants to expand his business abroad. 8．What does the underlined phrase “grab the floor” in Q3 probably mean? A．solve problems voluntarily B．take the initiative to speak first C．keep silence during a conversation D．deliberately interrupt others’ speech 9．Which of the following statements might Max Flannel agree with most? A．It’s harmful for supervisors to look vulnerable in front of others. B．You don’t need a real watercooler to have a watercooler conversation. C．Getting promoted is the best way to avoid being interrupted at corporate meetings. D．It’s advisable to make up some engaging stories about yourself to increase your popularity. E 【来源】上海市第二中学2024-2025学年高三上学期期中联考英语试卷 Selling a Car to CarMax: How The Process Works What is CarMax? If you’re looking for used cars, you’ve likely come across a CarMax used car dealership or visited its website. CarMax has over230 locations across the country, and you can also buy a car through the retailer completely online. One advantage that CarMax has over completely online car retailers is that you can schedule a test drive at a vehicle’s CarMax location. Make an appointment with CarMax two working days prior to your test drive. Will CarMax Buy Any Vehicle? CarMax will buy most cars, even old cars that don’t even run. CarMax will even buy cars that they don’t expect to sell, such as badly damaged vehicles, that they will sell to auction. There are exceptions to the vehicles that CarMax will buy. The retailer will not buy a salvage vehicle. It will also not buy one with frame damage or flood damage. Here are the three basic steps to help you navigate the process. Step 1: Do Your Research Before you begin the process, you should do your research. There are a few online tools to help you estimate your car’s trade-in value like the iSeeCars Price my Car Tool, Kelley Blue Book (KBB), or Edmunds. These prices can give you a good starting point and help you understand the value of your car Step 2: Get an In-Person or Online Appraisal When you take your vehicle in for an appraisal, the inspection process will take around 30 minutes. The appraisal team will give you a written offer that is valid for seven days, which will allow you to shop around for a better offer or to secure your replacement vehicle. Keep in mind that this offer is non-negotiable. Step3: ________________ If you decide to have CarMax handle the sale of your car, you will then complete the necessary paperwork in the finance office. If you’re also purchasing a car through CarMax, your trade-in can be applied to your down payment (首付款). 16．According to paragraph 1 and 2, what is TRUE about CarMax? A．Customers can only do in-person trade if they choose CarMax. B．Arranging for test drives earns CarMax edge over other dealers C．CarMax is willing to give an offer to owners of any used car. D．Consumers can have a test drive even without reservation. 17．The underlined word “Appraisal” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________. A．Evaluation B．Deal C．Repair D．Exchange 18．Which of the following best fits the blank in paragraph 5? A．Negotiate for a Better Price B．Book a Test Drive C．Maintain Your Car D．Accept the Offer 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！20 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题12 阅读理解应用文 目录 题型综述 2 解题攻略 3 题型01 “研读细节”题 3 题型02 “寻找共同点”题 4 题型03 “文章出处”题 7 题型04 “数字计算”题 9 高考练场 10 · 题型简介 应用文是高考英语阅读理解的常见文体，主要来源于真实生活，具有鲜明的语言特色。它们种类繁多、涵盖面广，涵盖生活的各个方面，如旅游景点介绍、校园活动安排、商品促销等内容。包括广告、书信、海报、指南、产品介绍、启事、招聘、书评等。应用文材料题材丰富多样，标题、小标题以及重要的信息通常会以加粗字体或标下划线的形式突出呈现。 · 命题类型 · 细节理解题：要求考生对阅读材料中的某一具体事实和细节进行理解，这类题目主要考查考生对文章具体细节信息的捕捉和理解能力。题干通常会明确指出某一具体信息点，如时间、地点、人物、事件等细节内容。常见的命题方式有事实认定题、图形辨认题、数字运算题等。 · 细节推理题：考查考生根据文章的字面意思，通过分析语篇的逻辑关系，研究细节的暗示，推敲作者的态度，理解文章的寓意等。例如如果在一篇关于新的课程安排的通知中，提到了增加了一些科技相关的课程，我们可以推断学校可能在加强科技教育方面的重视程度。 · 主旨大意题：考查考生对所读材料中心思想的概括，其考查形式有很多，如概括标题、主题、中心思想等。如：对于一篇活动介绍的应用文，主旨大意题可能会问这个活动主要是关于什么的，是体育比赛、文化交流还是其他类型的活动。 · 解题思路 · 浏览主题：快速浏览加粗字体的标题、小标题或加下划线的语句等最重要的信息，以了解语篇提供的是哪方面的信息，并判定行文方式。 · 定位信息：首先，根据题干中的关键词（如人名、地名、时间等），快速在文章中定位相关信息。例如，如果题干问的是活动的举办地点，就寻找文中出现地点的部分。 · 仔细比对：将选项内容与定位到的原文信息进行仔细比对，注意选项可能会对原文信息进行同义替换、颠倒顺序或者增减部分内容等干扰。 · 稳、准、快：在确保准确率的基础上提高阅读速度，以节省时间。解题时，要做到快速而准确地获取和理解文中具体细节信息的能力。不要一字不落地阅读全文，这样会浪费很多时间，而是应该有选择地快速筛选和获取答题所需要的信息。 · 猜词悟义：通过构词、语法、定义、同位、对比、因果、常识、上下文等线索推断词义。 · 巧用排除法：排除与文中陈述的事实相反的选项、文中完全没有提到的内容的选项、与全文内容或句子意义不沾边的选项、不合情理或荒谬的选项、表示间接或次要因素的选项。 题型01 “研读细节”题 细节理解类在高考阅读卷中占相当大比例，这类题考查对阅读材料中的某一具体事实和细节的理解，要求在快速阅读文章的同时，能从中获取某些特定的信息。抓住文段中的事实和细节是做好该类题的关键。 细节理解题一般根据短文提供的信息和事实进行提问，命题人往往通过对文章细节加以改写来考查考生准确理解细节的能力。 细节理解题在高考阅读理解中占有相当大的比例，一般包括： 1．直接信息题——在原文中可直接找到答案，常用who，what，when，where，why和how等提问。 2．间接信息题——需要将题目信息与原文相关信息进行语意上的转换，两者存在表达上的差异，有时需要进行加工或整理方能得出结论。 PRIVATE VIEW/TOUR Private Evening Talk and View for Groups Drawing the Italian Renaissance The King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace    The Queen’s Gallery has now become The King’s Gallery Next event: Monday, 4 Nov 2024    Every Monday, Thursday (Monday, 4 Nov 2024 – Thursday, 6 Mar 2025) 18:30 – 20:00 £45.00 per person/booking starting from £1,125 Group size: 25-80 people If you are a disabled visitor, your companion (旅伴) can enter for free.

(你的门票收入将用于支持皇家收藏信托，这是一个慈善机构)”可推知，本段主要目的是告诉游客他们的钱是用来做善事的。故选D。 题型02 “寻找共同点”题 寻找共同点命题规律探究：1.“找共同点题”试题大多出现在应用文最后—题或第一题；2.属于复杂细节理解题，可能会涉及阅读材料多处；3.常见命题形式：What do the four... have in common? 1.结构法：如果属于“总分总”结构，多从“总处”找依据； 2.排除法：可以运用排除法，只要一项不合要求就应该排除； 3.关键词法：依据题干划出关键词语，据此知道答案。 Here’re some music festivals in America. Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival It came into being 8 years later than Lollapalooza. It’s held on three-day weekends on end in April in California. In 2025, it’ll be from April 18th to 20th and April 25th to 27th. General admission costs $549. It not only features wonderful music performances but integrates various art forms such as sculptures and informal architectural art. There’re some events that aren’t charged. It’s one of the most highly-attended music festivals in America and around the world. Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival It began in 2002, and it’s held annually in June in Manchester, Tennessee. In 2025, it’ll be from June 12th to 15th. Ticket prices vary each year. It provides camping sites and encourages the audience to camp during the festival. This camping culture enables the audience from all over the world to participate more deeply in the festival, share music and life with other music fans. Lollapalooza Founded four years later than South by Southwest, it takes place in Grant Park, Chicago, usually in August. In 2024, it was held from August 1st to 4th. One-day tickets started at $135, and four-day passes and hotel packages started at $385. It invites globally artists from different music fields, including rock, pop, electronic, hip-hop and other styles, satisfying the musical preferences of different audiences. South by Southwest Generally held in March, it began in 1987 in Austin, Texas. The prices vary significantly depending on the type of activity and pass. It attracts professionals from the global music, film, technology and other industries, including artists, producers, investors, media people, etc., providing them with an opportunity for exchange and cooperation. 1．When did Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival begin?

D．Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. 3．What do the festivals have in common? A．They are held in the same state. B．They have international influence. C．They generally last four days. D．They offer some activities for free. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 【导语】本文是应用文。文章主要介绍了美国几个著名的音乐节，包括它们的起源、举办时间、地点、票价、特色以及受众等信息。 1．细节理解题。根据Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival下的“It came into being 8 years later than Lollapalooza.(它比Lollapalooza晚了8年)”，Lollapalooza下的“Founded four years later than South by Southwest, it takes place in Grant Park, Chicago, usually in August.(创立时间比South by Southwest晚四年，通常在8月在芝加哥的格兰特公园举行)”以及South by Southwest下的“Generally held in March, it began in 1987 in Austin, Texas.(它于1987年在德克萨斯州的奥斯汀市开始，一般在3月举行)”可知，South by Southwest开始于1987年，由此可以计算出Lollapalooza成立于1991年，进而可知Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival成立于1999年。故选D项。 2．细节理解题。根据Lollapalooza下的“It invites globally artists from different music fields, including rock, pop, electronic, hip-hop and other styles, satisfying the musical preferences of different audiences.(它邀请来自全球不同音乐领域的艺术家，包括摇滚，流行，电子，嘻哈等风格，满足不同观众的音乐喜好)”可知，Lollapalooza强调了多样化的音乐风格。故选A项。 3．细节理解题。根据Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival下的“It’s one of the most highly-attended music festivals in America and around the world.(这是美国乃至全世界最受欢迎的音乐节之一)”，Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival下的“This camping culture enables the audience from all over the world to participate more deeply in the festival, share music and life with other music fans.(这种露营文化让来自世界各地的观众更深入地参与到音乐节中，与其他乐迷分享音乐和生活)”，Lollapalooza下的“It invites globally artists from different music fields, including rock, pop, electronic, hip-hop and other styles, satisfying the musical preferences of different audiences.(它邀请来自全球不同音乐领域的艺术家，包括摇滚，流行，电子，嘻哈等风格，满足不同观众的音乐喜好)”以及South by Southwest下的“It attracts professionals from the global music, film, technology and other industries, including artists, producers, investors, media people, etc., providing them with an opportunity for exchange and cooperation.(它吸引了来自全球音乐、电影、科技等行业的专业人士，包括艺术家、制片人、投资者、媒体人等，为他们提供了交流与合作的机会)”可知，这些音乐节都提到了它们的影响力是全球性的。故选B项。 题型03 “文章出处”题 “推断文章出处”类试题应从文章的内容或结构入手来判断其出处： 研究报告类文章 (a research paper)：此类文章重点介绍科技领域最新研究成果：新发现、新思想、新发明。第一段概括介绍，然后分段陈述。文章结构严谨，语言规范，句式复杂。 图书评论类文章 (a book review)：书评、影评类文章涉及到作者介绍，内容梗概、人物性格评论，写作特色以及个人好恶等内容。 广告英语类文章 (an advertisement)：现代生活中广告无处不在，英语阅读理解也是如此。有时会考查微型海报、通知、启示、时刻表、图表等。 科普杂志类文章 (a science magazine)：此类文章内容广泛，涉及到日常生活习惯、健康饮食、太空与海洋、创造与发明、计算机发展、人类未来、动物世界等。其重点是普及科学知识，提高科学素养。 教材课本类文章 (a geography textbook)：此类文章内容比较正式，语言规范，往往涉及到学科术语、专业性词汇、概念、理论等。 课件展示类文章 (a class presentation)：此类文章往往紧扣主题，口语性强、语言活泼，形式新颖，伴随有图片、图表、文字介绍等信息。 网络网页类文章 (an Internet page)：此类文章往往会提供超级链接标志，如For more information, please click here. 做这类阅读理解题时，切不可凭自己主观印象，或根据所谓的经验，想当然地确定答案。对待任何一个选项同，都应该在原文中找到相关线索，这就如同破译密码一样。解题人的思维过程和出题人的思维过程恰好相反，出题人先找好线索，然后设计问题和选项，而解题人根据问题，再去文中找相关线索。 Four High School Clubs In high schools, there are lots of clubs and fun things to do.

The keys to getting the most out of it are to keep portions (份额) small and avoid those with added sugars. And choose the fruits that offer the biggest benefits, like the three here. 1. Apricots PORTION SIZE 5 apricots CALORIES 95 These orange orbs supply vitamin E, which helps to protect cells against the kind of damage that can trigger cancer and other chronic diseases. You also get 3 grams of fiber and 10 percent of the Daily Value. 2. Figs PORTION SIZE 5 figs CALORIES 105 Figs have more fiber than many other dried fruits, and they supply a decent amount of calcium. They may sometimes look like they’ re sprinkled with sugar, but they’ re not. The natural fruit sugar in the figs can crystallize and leave a white coating. 3. Prunes PORTION SIZE 4 prunes CALORIES 92 Research suggests the mix of antioxidants and other nutrients in prunes may help build up bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis. One serving of prunes has about 20 percent of the Daily Value for vitamin K. The low intakes have been linked to painful blood vessel (血管) problems. 10．How many calories will you get if you have a portion of apricots and figs? A．116. B．118. C．124. D．200. 11．What is a benefit of prunes? A．Relieve pain. B．Improve bone strength. C．Prevent cancer. D．Promote calcium absorption. 12．What advice is offered on dried fruit? A．Take small servings. B．Add some sugar. C．Mix with other nutrients. D．Stay away from it. 【答案】10．D 11．B 12．A 【导语】主要介绍了三种能提供最大益处的水果。 10．细节理解题。根据1. Apricots中“PORTION SIZE 5 apricots CALORIES 95(份量：5个杏子，卡路里95)”以及2. Figs中“PORTION SIZE 5 figs CALORIES 105(份量：5个无花果，卡路里：105)”可知，如果你吃一份杏子和无花果，你会得到95+105=200卡路里。故选D项。 11．细节理解题。根据3. Prunes中“Research suggests the mix of antioxidants and other nutrients in prunes may help build up bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis.(研究表明，梅干中的抗氧化剂和其他营养成分的混合可能有助于增强骨骼，有助于预防骨质疏松症。)”可知，西梅的好处是提高骨骼强度。故选B项。 12．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Let’s get the bad news out of the way first: Dried fruit is a concentrated source of calories and sugars. The keys to getting the most out of it are to keep portions (份额) small and avoid those with added sugars.(让我们先来看看坏消息：干果是热量和糖的集中来源。最大限度地利用它的关键是保持份量小，避免那些添加糖的。)”可知，干果应该少量食用。故选A项。 题型01 “研读细节”题 （2025年宝山一模） Ellis Janes Financial Services 199 Cambridge Ave. N., Mason, GA 32211 333-5555-1820 May 19, 2024 Dear Employees, We are writing this letter to inform you of the official merger (some call it combination) of Ellis Janes Financial Services with Connor O'Neal and Sons Financial Services. - [1]- You may have been hearing noises about this combination for the last few months, and we are pleased to be able to officially announce this decision. As of June 1, our company will become Janes and O'Neal Financial Services. In the next coming months, there will be many changes taking place, but I want to reassure you that we will be doing our best to minimize layoffs. We anticipate very few, if any, job losses and are actually working to expand our services so that we can add jobs. -[2]- While they may not have an immediate answer for you, we have spoken to senior staff and told them to bring any questions, with your permission, to our attention so that we can make this transition as smooth as possible. -[3]- Change is always difficult and when people hear the word, "merger," it often comes with a sense of anxiety and worry. We want to emphasize that there is nothing to be concerned about. Your daily jobs will remain unchanged for the next several months and we promise to provide you with plenty of notice prior to making any changes. One thing that we will not give in is our dedication to our employees and creating a workplace where you feel welcome and valued. For those of you who wish to speak to someone about any worries or concerns, we have hired a counselor to provide virtual one-on-one sessions during the transition period. -[4]- You can access her services via our company's intranet. With regards, Bo Ellis and Rhonda Janes, CEOs and Founders 39. What is the point of this letter? A. To tell employees what they need to be working on. B.

B 文章大意 这是一封来自 Ellis Janes 金融服务公司高层写给员工的信，主要内容是告知员工公司将与 Connor O'Neal and Sons 金融服务公司合并。信中提到，从 6 月 1 日起公司名称将变为 Janes and O'Neal 金融服务公司。在接下来的数月会有诸多变化，但公司会尽力减少裁员，甚至可能增加岗位。公司深知变革易引发员工焦虑，因此强调不必过于担忧，员工日常工作在数月内不会改变，且公司会提前通知工作变更事宜。此外，公司还为有担忧情绪的员工聘请了咨询师，通过公司内部网络提供一对一咨询服务。 答案解析 39 题 答案：D 解析：文章开篇便表明写信目的是 “to inform you of the official merger”，并提及 “ You may have been hearing noises about this combination”，这说明公司是想确认员工之前听到的合并消息，所以答案是 D。A 选项，文中未提及员工具体工作任务相关内容；B 选项，信件重点是关于公司合并对员工的告知和安抚，没有体现公司只注重盈利；C 选项，信中未详细阐述为什么合并对每个人最有利，主要是在告知合并这件事本身。 40 题 答案：B 解析：根据 “Change is always difficult and when people hear the word, "merger," it often comes with a sense of anxiety and worry.” 可知，当人们听到 “合并” 一词时，通常会感到焦虑和担忧，所以员工很可能会感到紧张，B 选项正确。A 选项，文中没有体现员工兴奋的情绪；C 选项，文中未提及员工愤怒相关内容；D 选项，结合文中对员工情绪的描述，平静不符合语境。 41 题 答案：C 解析：从 “In the next coming months, there will be many changes taking place, but I want to reassure you that we will be doing our best to minimize layoffs. We anticipate very few, if any, job losses...” 可以看出，公司希望在合并过程中尽量减少裁员，C 选项正确。A 选项，文中没有提到避免减薪的内容；B 选项，公司是在积极传达合并信息，而不是避免发布信息；D 选项，文中未涉及避免重启项目相关内容。 42 题 答案：B 解析：句子 “If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to talk to your managers.” 强调员工有问题可询问经理。在 [2] 处的前文提到 “we have spoken to senior staff and told them to bring any questions, with your permission, to our attention so that we can make this transition as smooth as possible.”，这部分内容也是关于员工提问以及公司希望妥善处理问题以确保过渡顺利的，所以此句子放在 [2] 处最合适，B 选项正确。[1] 处主要是宣布合并消息；[3] 处主要是安抚员工对变革的焦虑情绪；[4] 处主要是介绍为员工提供咨询师服务的方式。 重点词块 merger/combination：合并 announce a decision：宣布一个决定 minimize layoffs：尽量减少裁员 transition：过渡；转变 sense of anxiety and worry：焦虑和担忧的情绪 dedication to...：对…… 的奉献 counselor：顾问；咨询师 virtual one - on - one sessions：虚拟一对一咨询 company's intranet：公司内部网络 复杂句式 1. “We are writing this letter to inform you of the official merger (some call it combination) of Ellis Janes Financial Services with Connor O'Neal and Sons Financial Services.” 分析：这是一个简单句，“to inform you of...” 是动词不定式作目的状语，表明写信的目的；“of Ellis Janes Financial Services with Connor O'Neal and Sons Financial Services” 是介词短语作后置定语，修饰 “merger/combination”，说明是哪两个公司的合并。 翻译：我们写这封信是为了告知您 Ellis Janes 金融服务公司与 Connor O'Neal and Sons 金融服务公司正式合并（有些人称之为联合）的消息。 2. “As of June 1, our company will become Janes and O'Neal Financial Services.” 分析：这是一个简单句，“As of...” 是一个常用短语，意思是 “从…… 起”，在句中作时间状语。 翻译：从 6 月 1 日起，我们公司将更名为 Janes and O'Neal 金融服务公司。 3. “In the next coming months, there will be many changes taking place, but I want to reassure you that we will be doing our best to minimize layoffs.” 分析：这是一个并列复合句。“In the next coming months, there will be many changes taking place” 是一个 there be 句型的句子，“taking place” 是现在分词短语作后置定语，修饰 “changes”，表示 “即将发生的变化”；“but I want to reassure you that we will be doing our best to minimize layoffs” 是一个主从复合句，“but” 连接两个并列的句子，在后面的句子中，“that we will be doing our best to minimize layoffs” 是宾语从句，作 “reassure” 的宾语，“to minimize layoffs” 是动词不定式作目的状语。 翻译：在接下来的几个月里，会有很多变化发生，但我想向您保证，我们会尽最大努力减少裁员。 4. “While they may not have an immediate answer for you, we have spoken to senior staff and told them to bring any questions, with your permission, to our attention so that we can make this transition as smooth as possible.” 分析：这是一个主从复合句。“While they may not have an immediate answer for you” 是一个让步状语从句，表示 “虽然他们可能无法立即给您答复”；“we have spoken to senior staff and told them to bring any questions, with your permission, to our attention so that we can make this transition as smooth as possible” 是主句，其中 “we have spoken to senior staff and told them...” 是并列谓语结构，“to bring any questions, with your permission, to our attention” 是动词不定式短语作宾语补足语，“so that we can make this transition as smooth as possible” 是目的状语从句，说明前面动作的目的。 翻译：虽然他们可能无法立即给您答复，但我们已经和高级职员谈过，告诉他们（在您允许的情况下）把任何问题告知我们，以便我们能使这次过渡尽可能顺利。 题型02 “寻找共同点”题 （2025年闵行一模） Li Lin, a senior high 3 student, is preparing an argumentative essay on sea exploration. He has collected some texts for reference, two of which are shown below for his writing. Text 1 Exploring the sea usually means exploiting it, which has caused numerous problems and will continue to cause more. More exploration means more pollution. The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million gallons （加仑） of oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also harmful, killing many birds and fish, and has even been found in our tap water. Mining for resources is damaging, especially in the Arctic. Climate change has led to less ice, which means we can look for more fossil fuels（化石燃料） further north. But if we burn these, the ice will melt more, thus worsening this negative cycle. Whales and dolphins are also overfished for their meat or for research. Although this was banned in 1982, some countries are still “murdering” these intelligent creatures without mercy. The sea stretches out immeasurably but it is more sensitive than we think. If we don't protect it, future generations will not forgive us. Text 2 To truly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans which cover most of it. Opponents may be concerned, but sea exploration matters to the future. Gaining more insights into the sea will also help us manage its resources better. Logging new species will improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may enable us to discover new medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy. Accessing the deep ocean may provide hints of events such as earthquakes. The population of the world is growing and we need new resources for future development. There are probably vast amounts of resources under the sea and ice, not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals. The related environmental risks should be balanced with economic needs. Hopefully, as technology improves, we can have more options for managing this balance. 40. Which of the following can be inferred from the texts? A. Plastic pollution has directly contributed to the melting of Arctic ice. B. Logging new species could lead to advancements in medicine and food production. C. Overfishing has been completely stopped due to international bans introduced in 1982. D. The population growth worldwide has reduced the need for deep-sea resources. 41. Before writing, Li Lin puts forward some questions. Which question CAN NOT Li Lin find the answer to from the texts? A. What's the purpose of sea exploration? B. How does sea exploration cause damage to the sea? C. What benefits can sea exploration bring to other research fields? D. What can we do to balance environmental protection and sea exploration? 42. If Li Lin is determined to write an essay based on opinions from both texts, which of the following will most probably be the central theme of his essay? A. Ways to improve the efficiency of sea development. B. Technological breakthroughs in sea exploration. C. Balance between the impact of sea exploration and its benefits. D. Appeal to protect the sea from unsustainable exploration. 【答案】40. B 41.D 42.C 【导读】这篇材料由两篇关于海洋探索的文本组成。文本一强调海洋探索带来的诸多问题，如污染、过度捕捞等；文本二指出海洋探索对未来的重要性，如更好地管理资源、发现新药物和能源等，并提到要平衡相关环境风险与经济需求。 【解析】 【40 题详解】 细节理解题。答案是 B。 A 项：文中只提到了石油泄漏和气候变暖导致北极冰减少，以及塑料污染对海洋生物的危害，但未提及塑料污染直接导致北极冰融化，该项错误。 B 项：根据文本二 “Logging new species will improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may enable us to discover new medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy.” 可知，记录新物种可能会带来医学和食品生产的进步，该项正确。 C 项：文本一说虽然 1982 年禁止捕杀鲸鱼和海豚，但一些国家仍在 “无情地杀害” 这些聪明的生物，说明过度捕捞并没有因 1982 年的禁令而完全停止，该项错误。 D 项：文本二提到世界人口在增长，我们需要新的资源用于未来发展，说明人口增长增加了对深海资源的需求，而不是减少，该项错误。 41 题详解】 细节理解题。答案是D。 A 项：文本二提到了海洋探索的目的，如更好地管理资源、发现新药物和能源等，该项可以找到答案。 B 项：文本一详细阐述了海洋探索对海洋造成的破坏，如污染、过度捕捞等，该项可以找到答案。 C 项：文本中未提及海洋探索对其他研究领域的具体好处，该项无法找到答案。 D 项：文本二提到要平衡相关环境风险与经济需求，该项可以找到答案。 Text 1主要讨论了海洋探索对海洋的负面影响，而Text 2讨论了海洋探索的重要性和潜在好处。A选项可以在Text 2中找到答案，海洋探索的目的是为了更好地理解我们的星球。B选项也可以在Text 1中找到答案，海洋探索通过增加污染和破坏海洋生物等方式对海洋造成损害。C选项可以在Text 2中找到答案，海洋探索可以带来新物种的发现，这可能对其他研究领域有益。D选项在两篇文章中都没有直接提及如何平衡环境保护和海洋探索，因此是Li Lin无法从文本中找到答案的问题。 【42 题详解】 主旨大意题。 答案是 C。 A 项：文本中未重点讨论提高海洋开发效率的方法，该项错误。 B 项：文本中没有聚焦海洋探索的技术突破，该项错误。 C 项：两篇文本分别阐述了海洋探索的影响（负面）和好处，若综合两篇文本的观点写作文，平衡海洋探索的影响和好处很可能成为中心主题，该项正确。 D 项：仅呼吁保护海洋免受不可持续的探索，没有体现出海洋探索的好处，不够全面，该项错误。 题型03 “文章出处”题 【来源】上海市建平中学2024-2025学年高三上学期9月月考英语试卷 Universal Studios Singapore Have your fun multiplies across 6 themed zones.

C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了格拉斯哥地铁的线路、时刻表、票价等信息。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中“Going underground?”下面的“Running every four minutes at peak times, it takes just 24 minutes to complete a circuit of the 15 stations and costs from as little as £1.80 for an adult single to travel anywhere else on the system.(在高峰时段每四分钟开一次，只需24分钟即可完成15个车站的循环，成年单身人士在系统上去任何其他地方出行的费用低至1.80英镑。)”可知，一个成年单身者在地铁系统内去任何地方的出行费用都低至1.80英镑。由此可知，一个成年单身乘坐完整线路只需1.80英镑。故选D。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据时刻表“First Trains”下面的“Outer Circle”一列的“From St Enoch”，对应的“Mon. to Sat.”下面一列的“06:34”、“Sun.”下面一列的“10:03”，以及“Inner Circle”一列的“From St Enoch”，对应的“Mon. to Sat.”下面一列的“06:32”、“Sun.”下面一列的“10:00”可知，在第一班车次中，外环线路周一至周六从St Enoch出发的时间是6:34，周日是10:03，而内环线路周一至周六从St Enoch出发的时间是6:32，周日是10:00。由此可知，想要在工作日早晨最快到Kelvinbridge，可以搭乘发自St Enoch的最早班车是6:32的车次。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Subway tickets”下面的内容“All day*”行和“Adult”“Child**”列对应的“£4.30”“£2.15”，以及右侧说明“* unlimited travel for one day(*一天无限制出行)”“** Applies to children under 16 years old.(**适用于16岁以下的儿童。)”“Children under five travel for free if accompanied by a fare paying adult.(5岁以下儿童可免费旅行由一名付费成人陪同。)”可知，一天无限制出行时，单个成人票价为4.30英镑，单个儿童票价为2.15英镑，儿童票价适用于16岁以下儿童，但5岁以下儿童由成人陪同时可免票，由此可知，一对夫妇带一个15岁的孩子和一个新生儿，选择一天无限制出行时，应付款：4.30×2+2.15=10.75英镑。故选C。 A 【来源】上海市青浦高级中学2024-2025学年高三9月月考英语试卷 ■Lisa — Exhibition programmes Organizer, Science Museum I’M responsible for putting temporary exhibitions together. This includes planning and designing the exhibition and promoting it. I have to read up about the subject of the exhibition beforehand and then talk to important people in the area so that I can establish the main themes and alms of the exhibition, and plan what objects and pictures should be displayed. I have to make sure the public can understand the thinking behind the exhibition, which means planning Interactive displays, workshops and theatre. I also have to bring in engineers and electrician s to make sure the final display is not dangerous to visitors. Before the exhibition opens, I help design and write the leaflets that well use to tell people about it. ■Sarah — Marine conservationist I live by the coast and work from home. This involves responding to telephone enouines, producing education al resources and setting up training courses. Occasionally, I go into our main office but generally I am on the coast. I also work with schools and study centres and run courses for coastal managers and those Involved in making decisions about the fate of the seas. I do things like take them out to sea in a boat in an attempt to make them think more about the life underneath them. This often changes their views as it’s very different from making decisions using a computer screen. I am extremely lucky because conservation is my hobby, so the job has many highs for me. The downside of the job is that I work for a charity, so there is a constant need for more money. This means I’m always looking for more resources and I’m not able to achieve everything I want. ■Janet — Teacher of London Taxi Drivers THE first thing I do when I get here at 7.30 a. m. is check the accounts. Then I see what new maps and documents need to be produced in order to learn the runs or routes necessary to pass the London taxi- driver test By midday, about 50 students are in school, working out how to make the journeys. They work out the most direct route, using the correct one- way streets, and right-and left-hand turns. I get involved when there’s a difference of opinion — like whether you can do a right turn ala particular junction. When they’ re close to the test, I’ll give them a simple route and no matter what way they say they’ll go. I’ll tell them they have to use another route because the road is closed. The next student will have to find a third route and again. I’ll come up with a reason why they can’t go that way. It’s just to make them think. ■Chris — Map Publisher MY work is pretty varied. I have to make sure that the publishing programme matches market requirements, and ensure that we keep stocks of 300 or so of the books that we publish. We have very high standards of information and content. We receive many letters from readers on issues such as the representation of international boundaries and these in particular require a careful response. I discuss future projects and current sales with co- publishers. I work as part of an enthusiastic Group which makes the job that much more enjoyable. The negative side, as with many jobs, is that there is far too much administration to deal with, which leaves less time to work on the more interesting tasks such as product development and design. 4．According to the passage, whose job involves much outdoor work? A．Lisa’s. B．Sarah’s. C．Janet’s. D．Chris’s. 5． needs to introduce problems that require solutions in her work. A．Lisa B．Sarah C．Janet D．Chris 6．According to Chris, which of the following is the downside of her work? A．Financial limitation. B．Lack of time for something interesting for her. C．Readers’ misunderstanding. D．Too much negotiations with co- publishers. 【答案】4．B 5．C 6．B 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个人的工作内容以及工作特点。 4．细节理解题。根据第二段“Occasionally, I go into our main office but generally I am on the coast.(我偶尔会去我们的主要办公室，但通常我都在海边)”可知，莎拉的工作涉及很多户外工作。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据第三段“Then I see what new maps and documents need to be produced in order to learn the runs or routes necessary to pass the London taxi- driver test By midday, about 50 students are in school, working out how to make the journeys. They work out the most direct route, using the correct one- way streets, and right-and left-hand turns.

When they’ re close to the test, I’ll give them a simple route and no matter what way they say they’ll go. I’ll tell them they have to use another route because the road is closed. The next student will have to find a third route and again. I’ll come up with a reason why they can’t go that way. It’s just to make them think.(然后，我看到需要制作哪些新的地图和文件，以便学习通过伦敦出租车司机考试所必需的路线或路线。中午时分，大约有50名学生在学校，研究如何出行。他们利用正确的单行道和左右转弯，找出最直接的路线。当有不同意见时，我就会参与进来——比如你是否可以在某个路口右转。当他们接近测试时，我会给他们一条简单的路线，不管他们说走哪条路，他们都会走。我会告诉他们，他们必须走另一条路，因为这条路封闭了。下一个学生将不得不再次找到第三条路线。我会想出一个他们不能那样做的理由。只是为了让他们思考)”可知，珍妮特需要在工作中引入需要解决的问题。故选C。 6．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The negative side, as with many jobs, is that there is far too much administration to deal with, which leaves less time to work on the more interesting tasks such as product development and design.(与许多工作一样，负面的一面是，要处理的行政事务太多了，这样一来，用于产品开发和设计等更有趣的任务的时间就少了)”可知，克里斯的工作缺点是没有时间做她感兴趣的事情。故选B。 B 【来源】上海市嘉定一中2024-2025学年高三上学期10月调研测试英语卷 Alaska Railroad #19 of 270 things to do in Anchorage, Alaska • Scenic Railroads About Completed in 1923, the widely-known Alaska Railroad connects many of Alaska’s most popular destinations: Anchorage, Talkeetna, Denali National Park, Fairbanks, Girdwood, Seward, Whittier and the Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop.

Q1: Dear max, I am a 23-year-old social-media marketer who has only recently been required to return to the office. I had been told that the office would be great for having watercooler conversations. My office doesn’t seem to have a watercooler. What should I do? Al: Now you ask, I’m not really even sure what a watercooler is. But the basic idea is to find a place where you know colleagues are bound to go regularly and where you can engage in light conversation about whether they saw anything good on TV last night. My advice is to hang around any tap and you should meet colleagues fairly regularly. Q2: I have just been promoted into a senior role. I have noticed that many of my new peers like to open meetings with small personal anecdotes about something that happened to them that day-a minor cycling accident, say, or a chance encounter with an old acquaintance. It seems to be a way of getting people to relax a bit. The trouble is that nothing interesting ever seems to happen to me. What should I do? A2: I wouldn’t worry too much. Those stories are mostly made-up and all deliberately boring. No executive ever opens a meeting talking about how they woke up in their own clothes but in a total stranger’s apartment. The goal is only to put people at their ease by making the speaker seem faintly human. Just say exactly what you put in your message above and then make your face go a bit vulnerable. That should do the trick. Q3: I can never time my interjections correctly. If I try to judge when a speaker is about to stop talking, I either break in too early and end up apologizing for interrupting, or am a beat too slow and someone else grabs the floor. Do you have any tips? A3:There are only three ways to handle this common problem. One is to start so loudly that everyone immediately gives way. You may come up against a fellow-shouter and then it’s just a battle of nerves: who is going to give way? The second is to raise your hand and wait: you’ll get your turn eventually and be listened to. The third is to get promoted. If you are senior enough, it doesn’t matter how ridiculous a point you are making;everyone gives way. Keep sending me your problems, and enjoy the break! 7．Which of the following will benefit most from the passage? A．An experienced career adviser. B．A graduate who is eager to find a job C．A young manager who has just been promoted. D．A CEO who wants to expand his business abroad. 8．What does the underlined phrase “grab the floor” in Q3 probably mean? A．solve problems voluntarily B．take the initiative to speak first C．keep silence during a conversation D．deliberately interrupt others’ speech 9．Which of the following statements might Max Flannel agree with most? A．It’s harmful for supervisors to look vulnerable in front of others. B．You don’t need a real watercooler to have a watercooler conversation. C．Getting promoted is the best way to avoid being interrupted at corporate meetings. D．It’s advisable to make up some engaging stories about yourself to increase your popularity. 【答案】7．C 8．B 9．B 【导语】本文是应用文。介绍了一系列关于职场问题的提问和相应的回答。 7．推理判断题。根据第一段“Max Flannel is back to grapple with your workplace headaches.(Max Flannel回来了，为你解决工作场所的头痛问题)”可知，本文主要解决工作场所的头痛问题，再根据Q1“Dear max, I am a 23-year-old social-media marketer who has only recently been required to return to the office.(亲爱的max，我是一名23岁的社交媒体营销人员，最近才被要求回到办公室)”是一个刚回办公室的销售人员，Q2“I have just been promoted into a senior role.(我刚刚被提升到一个高级职位)”是一位刚晋升的经理，以及Q3“I can never time my interjections correctly.(我总是无法准确地把握插话的时机)”是一位无法准确地把握插话的时机的人，结合选项可知，应是C项“A young manager who has just been promoted.(刚被提升的年轻经理)”将从这篇文章中受益最大，因为有和他有同样经历的人的问题。故选C项。 8．词句猜测题。根据前文“I can never time my interjections correctly. If I try to judge when a speaker is about to stop talking, I either break in too early and end up apologizing for interrupting, or am a beat too slow(我总是无法准确地把握插话的时机。如果我试图判断说话者何时会停止讲话，要么我会太早插话，结果不得不为打断别人而道歉，要么就慢了一拍)”可知，这个人无法准确地把握插话的时机，要么太早插话，要么就慢了一拍，推知后文应是慢了一拍，被别人抢先提问，所以grabs the floor应是“抢先发言”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。 9．推理判断题。根据A1中“Now you ask, I’m not really even sure what a watercooler is. But the basic idea is to find a place where you know colleagues are bound to go regularly and where you can engage in light conversation about whether they saw anything good on TV last night. My advice is to hang around any tap and you should meet colleagues fairly regularly.(现在你问起，我甚至不太确定饮水机是什么。但基本思路是找到一个你知道同事们肯定会经常去的地方，并且你可以和他们进行轻松的对话，比如聊聊昨晚电视上有没有什么好看的节目。我的建议是在任何水龙头附近逛逛，你应该会相当频繁地遇到同事)”可知，Max Flannel认为，即使没有真正的饮水机，也可以在水龙头旁边进行“饮水机旁交谈”，因此他同意选项B的说法，即你不需要一个真正的饮水机来进行饮水机旁交谈。故选B项。 E 【来源】上海市第二中学2024-2025学年高三上学期期中联考英语试卷 Selling a Car to CarMax: How The Process Works What is CarMax? If you’re looking for used cars, you’ve likely come across a CarMax used car dealership or visited its website. CarMax has over230 locations across the country, and you can also buy a car through the retailer completely online. One advantage that CarMax has over completely online car retailers is that you can schedule a test drive at a vehicle’s CarMax location. Make an appointment with CarMax two working days prior to your test drive. Will CarMax Buy Any Vehicle? CarMax will buy most cars, even old cars that don’t even run. CarMax will even buy cars that they don’t expect to sell, such as badly damaged vehicles, that they will sell to auction. There are exceptions to the vehicles that CarMax will buy. The retailer will not buy a salvage vehicle. It will also not buy one with frame damage or flood damage. Here are the three basic steps to help you navigate the process. Step 1: Do Your Research Before you begin the process, you should do your research. There are a few online tools to help you estimate your car’s trade-in value like the iSeeCars Price my Car Tool, Kelley Blue Book (KBB), or Edmunds. These prices can give you a good starting point and help you understand the value of your car Step 2: Get an In-Person or Online Appraisal When you take your vehicle in for an appraisal, the inspection process will take around 30 minutes. The appraisal team will give you a written offer that is valid for seven days, which will allow you to shop around for a better offer or to secure your replacement vehicle. Keep in mind that this offer is non-negotiable. Step3: ________________ If you decide to have CarMax handle the sale of your car, you will then complete the necessary paperwork in the finance office. If you’re also purchasing a car through CarMax, your trade-in can be applied to your down payment (首付款). 16．According to paragraph 1 and 2, what is TRUE about CarMax? A．Customers can only do in-person trade if they choose CarMax. B．Arranging for test drives earns CarMax edge over other dealers C．CarMax is willing to give an offer to owners of any used car. D．Consumers can have a test drive even without reservation. 17．The underlined word “Appraisal” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________. A．Evaluation B．Deal C．Repair D．Exchange 18．Which of the following best fits the blank in paragraph 5? A．Negotiate for a Better Price B．Book a Test Drive C．Maintain Your Car D．Accept the Offer 【答案】16．B 17．A 18．D 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了把车卖给二手车经销商CarMax：整个过程是如何运作的以及CarMax的介绍。 16．细节理解题。根据第一段中“One advantage that CarMax has over completely online car retailers is that you can schedule a test drive at a vehicle’s CarMax location.(CarMax相对于完全在线的汽车零售商的一个优势是，你可以在CarMax指定的地点安排试驾)”可知，安排试驾使CarMax比其他经销商更有优势。ACD均与原文实意不符。故选B项 17．词义猜测题。根据第四段中“…the inspection process will take around 30 minutes.(检查过程大约需要30分钟)”以及“…give you a written offer that is valid for seven days, which will allow you to shop around for a better offer or to secure your replacement vehicle.( 给你一份有效期为七天的书面报价，你可以在这段时间里货比三家，寻找更好的报价，或者确保你的新车安全)”可知，当你把你的车进行评估时，评估团队会给你一份有效期为七天的书面报价。由此可知，划线单词Appraisal为“评估”的意思，与A项Evaluation“评价，评估”意思一致。故选A项。 18．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If you decide to have CarMax handle the sale of your car, you will then complete the necessary paperwork in the finance office.(如果你决定让CarMax处理你的汽车销售，那么你将在财务办公室完成必要的文件工作)”可推知，“接受这个报价”最适合第五段的空白处内容。故选D项。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！27 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
