症和焦虑症的故事.
4.WhydidBulenRynertakeupherartistichobby?
A.Tokiltime.

“BulenRyner,aphotographerbytrade,beG
ganherartistichobbyshortlyafterhertwin
daughterswereborn.TheyoungmothersufG
feredfromdepressionandanxiety.Toseeka

Ryner是一名摄影师,在她双胞胎女儿出生后
开始了她的艺术爱好,她患有抑郁症和焦虑症,
为了寻求解决的办法,她转向 大 自 然,由 此 可
知,BulenRyner培养艺术爱好是为了治疗.]
5.Whatdoestheunderlinedword “foraging”in
Paragraph3mean?
A.Making. B.Answering.
C.Providing. D.Seeking.
解析:D [词义猜测题.根据第三段中的“On
animpulse(冲动),shestartedformingaporG
traitofabirdwiththeitemsshehadgathered.
(由于一时冲动,她开始用收集到的东西画一只
鸟的肖像.)”可知,由于冲动,她开始用收集到
的东西 画 一 只 鸟 的 画 像,结 合 划 线 单 词 前 的
“BulenRynerstartedspendingtimealonein
thewoods(开始独自一人待在树林里)”以及划
线单 词 后 的 “flowers,branches,leaves,and
grass(花、树枝、树叶和草.)”由此可推知,划线
词所在句表示,BulenRyner开始独自在树林
里寻找材料:花、树枝、树叶和草,因此,划线词
应与“寻找”意思相近.]

permanentortheysayitssuchashamethat
itstemporary,’BulenRynerexplains.(‘人们
经常问我为什么不把一些东西固定下来,或者
他们说这是暂时的,太可惜了,’BulenRyner
解释道.)”可知,一缕微风就能带走或吹散她的
画像,还有人问到她为什么不创作一些长久的,
这样短暂太可惜了,由此可推知,BulenRyner
的艺术作品不能被长期保存.]
7.Whatcanweinferfromthelastparagraph?

力.由此可知,作者对于语言变化的态度是积
极的.]

个词就是真实的.那个词可能是非正式的,那

次表明,成年树木的生长与它们参与的生活在
森林土壤中的真菌网络有关.尽管过去的研
究主要集中在幼树上,但这些发现为了解真菌
网络对更老的树木的重要性提供了新的见解,
因为老树对碳捕获等功能更具环境效益.)”可
知,新的研究关注成年树木,而之前的发现关
注的是幼树,所以新发现与之前的发现的不同
之处在于,新发现揭示了真菌网络对成年树木
的价值.]
13.Howdofungalnetworkshelptrees?
A.Byfightingagainstdiseases.
B.Bybetteringforestsoilconditions.
C.Byactingasthecenteroffamilyunits.

中时,真菌网络就像一条高速公路,让水、养分和
化合物在树木之间来回流动.该网络还帮助养
分流向资源有限的树木,就像家庭单位一样在压
力下相互支持.)”可知,真菌网络通过保持资源平
衡的方式来帮助树木.]
14.Whatdoestheunderlined“They”refertoin

A.Treerings.

株道格拉斯花旗松中提取的核心表明,年轮生
长与树木与其他树木的真菌 联 系 程 度 有 关.
它们的生长程度远远高于那些只有少数联系
的树木.)”可知,本段以道格拉斯花旗松为例,
说明年轮生长和树木之间的真菌联系程度有
关,they指 代 上 句 中 出 现 的 “道 格 拉 斯 花 旗
松”.]
15.Whichfieldwil mostbenefitfromthestudy

A.Geography. B.Agriculture.
C.Reforestation. D.Microbiology.

是否以同样的方式运作,可以影响我们在砍伐
后如何重新造林,也可以告诉我们如何种植树
木来保护这些网络.’)”可知,研究可以影响砍
伐后如何重新造林,所以重新造林这一领域从
研究中受益最大.]

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文.介绍了关于世
代生活在海上的巴瑶族人的有关情况:他们懂得
极限潜水但其生存也面临着一些困境.
1.G [根 据 空 后 的 “However,thereslittle
chanceofcatchingupwiththeSamaBajau,
whocanstayunderwaterwithasinglebreath
forquitealongtime.(然而,几乎没有机会赶
上SamaBajau,他们可以在水下呼吸很长一段
时间.)”可知,空处内容与空后内容构成转折关
系,G 选项“Withfreedivingtraining,wecan
increasethetimeunderwaterbyafew miG
nutes.(通过自由潜水训练,我们可以在水下多
撑几分钟的时间.)”讲述的是经过训练后我们
可以在水下多撑几分钟的时间,与空后的内容
为转折关系,且内容一致.]
2.D [根 据 空 前 的 “TheBajauliveonlong
houseboatsorsmal woodenhousesthatare
builtonthesea,closetotheshoreinSouthG
eastAsia.(Bajau人住在靠近东南亚海岸的海
上建造的长船屋或小木屋里.)”可知,此处讲述
的是巴瑶族人的生活方式,由此可推测,空白处
所填内 容 应 继 续 介 绍 巴 瑶 族 人 的 生 活 方 式,
D选项“Theyonlygoashoretotradeorseek
shelterduringseastorms.(他们只在贸易或躲
避海上风暴时才上岸.)”讲述的是他们的生活
方式,与空前内容相呼应,符合语境.]
3.E [根据空后的“Intheirfreetime,thekids
helparoundthehouseorplayonthebeach.
(在他们的空闲时间,孩子们帮助做家务或在海
滩上玩.)”可知,此处介绍关于巴瑶族孩子的情
况,E 选 项 “Bajauchildren masterswimming
anddivingskilsatanearlyage.(巴瑶族儿童在
很小的时候就掌握了游泳和潜水的技能.)”与空
后讲述的内容吻合,且children与kids为近义词,
均指的是巴瑶族的孩子们,符合语境.]

agepeoplesonland.(几个世纪的自由潜水似
乎已经在科学上使巴瑶族人与众不同.根据研
究,巴瑶 族 人 的 脾 脏 比 陆 地 上 的 普 通 人 大 得
多.)”可知,巴瑶族人和陆地上的普通人不同,
C选项“ThedifferencemakestheBajauquite
abletodiveunderwater.(这种差异使巴瑶族人
有极强的潜水能力.)”讲述的是导致巴瑶族人
有极强的潜水能力是由于他们的脾脏要与陆地
上的普通人有很大区别,与空前内容相呼应,进
一步解释了这种差异的影响.]
5.F [分析语篇可知,此处为本段的主题句,根据
后 文 “The main causeis massivefishing,

大规模捕鱼,这使得巴瑶族人越来越难以仅靠
捕鱼谋生.因此,越来越多的人离开海洋,显
然,巴瑶族和他们惊人的特质消失只是时间问
题.)”可知,该段描述的是巴瑶族人面临的困
境,F选项“Theexistenceofthisspecialgroup
ofpeopleisthreatenednowadays.(现在这个特

个特殊人群的生存受到了威胁,概括了本段的
