4.F [细节句.上文提到如果你周末有空,邀请你的朋
友到外面去,这样你的心思就会从电脑上移开,这是
在介绍用其他活动来代替使用电脑,从而减少使用电
脑的次数.F项(如果在工作日有问题,给你的朋友打
电话或亲自去求助)分析了在工作日的做法,符合逻
辑.E选项是本题的干扰项,放在设空处会和上一句
“Thiswildistractyoufromthecomputer”意思重复.

5.C [细节句.根据上句“AlternativelycreateashutG

7.areused [use与socialmedia之间是逻辑上的动宾
关系,要用被动语态.再根据此空前后用的是一般现

Ⅰ.A.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文.本文讲述了北
极熊的祖先为适应环境而不断改变自身特征,而现在的
这些特征却让北极熊陷入困境.
1.C [推理判断题.根据第四段中的“Inamomentitis
over,andthebeareatshisfirst mealinnearlya
week.”可知,这头熊吃了近一周以来的第一顿饭,可
见它非常饥饿.因此,关于前四段提到的白熊,可以
推断出“它快饿死了”.故选C.]
2.A [细节理解题.根据第五段中的“Polarbearsrule
thefrozensea,buttheirancestors werentalways
builtforiceandsnow.ThefirstArcticbearswere
brownbears,aspeciesthatincludesgrizzlybears.”可
知,最早的北极熊不是白熊,是棕熊,包括灰熊,颜色
要深一些.因此,北极熊的祖先是一种皮毛颜色较深
的物种.故选 A.]
3.A [推 理 判 断 题.根 据 倒 数 第 二 段 中 的 “Sadly,
these characteristics may now threaten the polar
bearssurvival.AsseaicemeltsduetoglobalwarG
ming,polar bearsarefrequentlyforcedto come
ashore.”可知,随着气候变暖,北极熊可以狩猎的冰面
范围在逐渐减少,使它们生存面临威胁.因此,北极
熊挣 扎 着 生 存 的 原 因 是 它 们 正 在 失 去 猎 场. 故
选 A.]
4.C [主旨大意题.通读全文,尤其是根据第五段中
“ThefirstArcticbearswerebrownbears,aspecies
thatincludesgrizzlybears.”第六段中“Nooneknows
forsure whythesebearstraveledtosuchacold
place.Scientiststhinkthey mighthave wandered
northlookingforfood.”和 倒 数 第 二 段 中 的“Sadly,
these characteristics may now threaten the polar
bearssurvival.AsseaicemeltsduetoglobalwarG
ming,polar bearsarefrequentlyforcedto come
ashore.”可知,北极熊的祖先皮毛颜色更深,它们可能
是为了寻找食物而来到北极,为适应环境而不断改变
自身特征.由于全球变暖,海冰融化,北极熊生存面
临威胁,文章暗含北极熊误入北极的黑暗的过去.因
此,文本的最佳标题是 C项“ThedarkpastofthepoG
larbear(北极熊的黑暗过去)”.故选C.]
B.[语篇解读] 本文是一篇应用文.文章主要介绍了
以金枪鱼为例子的一些物种的种群数量正在恢复,但是
仍有很多其他物种濒危,我们应该继续努力.
5.C [细节理解题.由第一段中“SeveralimportanttuG
na(金枪鱼)specieshavesteppedbackfromtheedgeof
extinction.”可知,几个重要的金枪鱼物种已经从灭绝
的边缘退了回来.也就是说,一些金枪鱼的种群数量
开始恢复.故选C.]
6.D [词义猜测题.由画线词后文“Forexample,more
thanathirdoftheworldssharksarestilthreatened
withextinctionduetooverfishing,habitatloss,and
climatechange.(由于过度捕捞、栖息地丧失和气候变
化,世界上超过三分之一的鲨鱼的种群数量仍面临灭
绝的威胁)”可知,还有其他海洋生物仍有濒临灭绝的
危险.由 此 推 知,画 线 词imperiled的 意 思 是“濒 危
的”,与endangered意思相同.故选 D.]
7.B [推理判断题.由第四段中“WeneedtokeepdoG
ingwhatsworking.(我们需要继续做有效的事情)”
可知,这个科学家认为我们要接着实施那些有效的措
施,即保护金枪鱼还有很长的路要走.故选B.]
8.D [推理判断题.由第五段中“TheIUCN,whichdeG
terminestheworldsmostendangeredspeciesonits
RedListofThreatenedSpecies,alsoannouncedatthe
meetingthatsomeanimalsaremovingintheotherdiG
rection,ontotheRedList.(世界自然保护联盟在其
濒危物种红色名录中确定了世界上最濒危的物种,并
在会议上宣布,一些动物正朝着另一个方向移动,进
入红色名录)”可知,作者提到这种蜥蜴是作为例子,
目的是论证一些动物正朝着另一个方向移动,进入红
色名录.故选 D.]
Ⅱ.[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文,讲述了如何获得好
的睡眠.
1.D [关联逻辑法解题.根据上文“Qualitysleep-and
gettingenoughofitattherighttimes-isasimporG
tanttosurvival(生存)asfoodandwater.”并结合下
文可知,设空处应该是获得好睡眠的建议.故选 D.]
2.G [词汇锁定法解题.上句提到avoidcaffeine,呼应
小标题,G项提到“禁止吸烟”,呼应小标题 AvoidcafG
feine,alcohol,nicotine(尼 古 丁)中 的 nicotine. 故
选 G.]
3.E [设 题 位 置 法 解 题.根 据 小 标 题 Createagood
sleepingenvironment可知,这一部分主要是讲营造好
的睡眠环境,比较选项可知,E 选项是说好的环境对
睡眠的重要性,符合语境.故选E.]
4.F [关联逻辑法解题.由上句“Takeabath,reada
book,watchtelevision,orpractiserelaxationexerciG
ses.”可知,应做些睡前放松的活动,也就是不做增加
压力的事.故选F.]
