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

知,BulenRyner培养艺术爱好是为了治疗.]

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.]

[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

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

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

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,

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,
whichhasmadeitincreasinglydifficultforthe
Bajauto makealivingandrelyonfishing
alone.Asaconsequence,moreandmorepeoG
pleareleavingtheseas,andapparently,its
onlya matteroftimebeforetheBajauand

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
殊人群的生存受到了威胁.)”讲述的是现在这
个特殊人群的生存受到了威胁,概括了本段的
