到的是大海和湖泊。下文“However,pondsareanimportantbody

很重要。选项B指出池塘通常被人忽视,这承接上文,继续谈水
体,又和下文构成转折关系,符合语境。故选B。]

“competingagainsthim”可知,作者认为他们在比赛,然而对方却
并不知道。故选C。]
6.A [focused专注的;dependent依靠的;hard困难的;impressed印

选A。]
7.B [根据下文“hadtoturnaround”可知,作者错过了转弯,不得不
调头。故选B。]
8.C [remain仍然是;offer提供;happen发生;work工作。根据下

朋友和家人竞争,试图战胜、打败他们。故选A。]

间都在与邻居、朋友和家人竞争,试图击败他们,但事实上一开始
是没有竞争的。故选B。]
11.C [根据下文“missoutonourownpaths”可知,像作者错过路口
一样,我们用大量时间和精力与别人竞争而非努力到达自己的目
的地。故选C。]
12.D [句意:我们用大部分时间和精力与他人竞争,而不是到达目

purpose故意;asusual像往常一样;asaresult结果。根据句意可
知,前后文是因果关系。故选D。]

Ⅳ.[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明,在工厂附近
种植绿植可减少三分之一的污染,比科技治污更经济有效。
1.addition [考查词性转换。句意:植物的增添甚至可能比专用于
减少污染的科技更省钱有效。The后面,of前面应用名词,表示
“增添”的行为,不可数,故填addition。]
2.designed [考查非谓语动词。此处作technology的后置定语,在
意义上design与technology是动宾关系,故填designed。]
3.werereported [考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子并
由时间状语earlieron可知,这里应用一般过去时的被动语态,又
因为findings是复数形式,故填werereported。]
4.who [考查定语从句。此处引导一个非限制性定语从句,修饰先
行词BhavikBakshi,指人,且引导词在从句中作主语,故填who。]
5.in [考查介词。句意:Bakshi和其他研究员在美国的48个州收
集关于植被和空气污染的数据。表示较大的地点,用介词in,故
填in。]
6.harmful [考查词性转换。应用形容词修饰名词emissions,故填
harmful。]
7.attempted [考查动词的时态。分析句子结构可知,本句缺少谓语
动词,且是发生在过去的动作。故填attempted。]
8.seeking [考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处是后置定语
修饰People,且People与seek之间是主谓关系,故填seeking。]
9.methods [考查名词复数。method在此表示“方法,办法”是可数
名词,此处为复数意义。故填methods。]
10.which/what [考查主语从句。空处引导主语从句,且在从句中
作kinds的 定 语,表 示“哪 几 种”或“什 么 品 种”,故 填 which/
what。]
【读后续写· 一举突破】
【原文大意】
比利在散步时遇到一只流浪狗,喂食之后,流浪狗就偷偷跟着他
回家了,比利询问妈妈是否要收养它,但妈妈拒绝了。这时暴雨
来临。
【写作指导】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句“正在这时,妈妈出现在门口。”可知,本段可以
描写妈妈让狗进屋躲雨,并提出寻找狗主人的想法。
②由第二段首句“第二天早上,比利在公园里贴出告示寻找狗主
人。”可知,本段可以描写狗主人看到告示来到比利的家里,狗见到主
人之后很开心,以及主人对比利的感谢。
2.续写线索:妈妈同意狗进屋———妈妈建议找狗主人———张贴
告示———狗主人出现———狗和主人都很开心———狗主人表示感谢
