mitoftheHimalayawhenarockgotdislodged.Itcrushedmylowerlegandnearlyseveredmyleg.”可知,作者在接近喜马拉雅山的山顶时,一块岩石发生了
移动,压碎了作者的小腿,因此应是同伴将他带下山送往医院。故选C项。【17题详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:医院是初级的,第二天我就被飞机送到Delhi,等情况稳定后,我就回家了。A.basic基本的;初级的;B.modern现代的;C.t

句意:我觉得这段经历太沮丧压抑了,所以决定尽可能地把这个决定推迟。A.decision决定;B.conclusion结论;C.training训练;D.finding发现。根据后文“Afterleavinghospital,Iwasinawheelchairforthreemonths
.”可知,作者出院了,且通过后文阅读可知,没有提及“截肢”,由此推知作者应是当时没有接受医生给予的“截肢”建议,将医生决定的“截肢”尽可能的推迟延后。故选A项。【22题详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:渐渐地,
我可以拄着拐杖四处走动了。A.climbover爬过去;B.ranaway逃跑;C.getaround四处转转;D.hangout闲逛。根据空后的“usingcrutches(使用拐杖)”可知,作者使用的是拐杖,应是只能四处转转。故选C项。

.lifted举起;抬起。根据空后的宾语为“bicycle”,应是骑自行车。故选C项。【26题详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:事故发生四年后,我不用拐杖就能走几码远了。A.admission许可;承认;B.mission使命;任务;C.a
ccident事故;D.performance表演。结合语境可知,“Fouryearsafterthe___11___”应是指出事后的四年之后。故选C项。【27题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:我不能弯曲我的脚踝,我的脚僵硬,但有了改良过的鞋子,我似乎

ver康复。根据前文“IfoundIhadamechanicalproblem…decidedtojogtothebusstop”可知,作者的自行车出现了问题,决定慢跑到公交车站,由此可知,自行车出现的问题他无法修理。故选C项。【30题详解】考查动词短语
辨析。句意:公交车晚点了,所以我一路慢跑回家。A.gaveup放弃;B.devotedto致力于;献身于;C.tiredof厌倦;厌烦;D.carriedon继续;实施。根据前文“Thebuswaslate”可知,公

年后,我参加了当地的一场马拉松比赛,决心击败内心的恶魔,向世界展示我仍能跑,结果我以两秒的优势获胜。A.forgive原谅;B.take拿走;C.accept接受;D.beat打败;战胜。分析可知,空后的“thedemons”应是指作者发生
事故后遗留的腿部的伤势而导致的行走不便造成的心理阴影,因此作者决定参加马拉松战胜它。故选D项。【34题详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意:当地报纸的头条写着“奇迹般的人赢得了马拉松”。A.announced宣布;通
告;B.read阅读;写着;C.commented评论;解释;D.wrote写;创作。根据空前主语为“Theheadlineinthelocalpaper(当地报纸的大标题)”,因此,所选动词应是“写着”,选项B“read”可与该主语搭配使用,表达“写着;写成”含义。故选B项。【35题详解】考查
名词词义辨析。句意:我儿子拿到了其中一块广告牌,我把它挂在我的房间里,以提醒我意识到精神的力量凌驾于身体之上。A.luck运气;B.mind精神;想法;C.knowledge知识;D.chance机会。根据前文“Aboutayearlater,I___17___alocalmara

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了铁人三项赛的创立和历史上第一位铁人三项赛冠军。【40题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“Yetonlyonedefinitionofthetermtrulylivesuptoitsname:t
heIronmantriathlonheldannuallyinHawaii,apicturesquesettingforachallengingrace(然而,只有一种定义名副其实:每年在风景如画的夏威夷举
行的铁人三项赛)”可知,本文所指的应是“铁人三项赛”,是一种运动比赛。故选D项。【41题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容“attheendoftheday,hebecamethefirstIronmanchamp
ioninhistory”可知,他成为了历史上第一个铁人三项冠军。选项D“HewasthechampioninthefirstIronmanTriathlon.”与原文内容表达信息一致。故选D项。【42题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“whichdemandsam
azingphysicalprowessandtheabilitytoswim,bike,andrunamarathon,allinlessthan12hourswithnobreak.”可知,and为并列连词,划线单词应是与之后的ability为并列结构,同义表达,a
bility句中指“能力”,由此可推知“prowess”应是“技能”含义。故选B项。【43题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容“Theraceoriginatedinasomewhatamusingway.Themembersofthetwopopularsportsclubs,
theMid-PacificRoadRunnersofHonoluluandtheWaikikiSwimClubofOahu,hadalong-standingandgood-natureddebategoingoverwhomadebetterathletes:runnersorswim

。火奴鲁鲁的中太平洋公路赛跑者和瓦胡岛的怀基基游泳俱乐部这两个受欢迎的体育俱乐部的成员就谁是更好的运动员进行了一场长期友好的辩论:赛跑者还是游泳者。然而,一些当地自行车俱乐部认为这两个俱乐部都错了,声称他们事实上应该获得冠军。为了一劳永逸地解决争议,
他们决定将岛上每年举行的三场独立比赛合并成一场耐力的大规模测试。)”可知,设立这项比赛的初衷是综合比赛可以帮助选择最具运动能力的运动员。故选C项。【44题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容Hequicklysc
annedthefewpagesofrulesandinstructions,andonthelastpagehediscoveredasentencethatwouldbecometherace’sfamousslogan:“Swim2.4miles!Bik
e112miles!Run26.2miles!Bragfortherestofyourlife!”Hallertookthattoheart,andattheendoftheday,hebecamethef
irstIronmanchampioninhistory(他迅速浏览了几页规则和说明,在最后一页,他发现了一句将成为比赛著名口号的话:“游2.4英里!自行车112英里!跑26.2milcsl吹牛一辈子!”Haller将此铭记于心,最终,
他成为历史上第一位铁人三项冠军)可知,他没有仔细浏览规则,受到口号的激励而奋勇拼搏成为历史上第一位铁人三项冠军。选项B“Hallermaynothaveknowntherulesofitbeforeheshowedupfortheevent.”(Haller
在参加比赛前可能不知道比赛规则。)为合理推断。故选B项。【45题详解】推理判断题。根据文章末尾内容“Thecompetitorswhocompletetheracedon’thavetobethefirstacrossthefinishlinetoclaim
success:justfinishingisavictoryontoitself.”可知,完成比赛的参赛者不一定是第一个冲过终点线的人才能宣称成功,仅仅是完成比赛本身就是一种胜利,可推知,作者最后一段想要表达的是:重要的
是参与,而不是胜利。故选A项。【点睛】细节理解题考查内容主要涉及时间、地点、人物、事件、原因、结果、数字等议论文中例证细节和定义类细节。这类题目的共同特点是:答案一般都能在文章中找到。当然,答案并不一定是文章中的原句,考生需要根据文章提供的信息
自己组织语句回答问题。比如文章的第1小题:1.The“IronMan”inthepassageaboverefersto____________.A.afolksongB.amoviecharacterC.atriathlonathleteD
.asportsevent根据关键词定位到文章内容“Yetonlyonedefinitionofthetermtrulylivesuptoitsname:theIronmantriathlonheldannuallyinHawaii,apicturesquesettingforachallengi
ngrace”,可知,本文中的“IronMan”应是“theIronmantriathlon(铁人三项赛)”,一种运动赛事。故选D项为答案。CSpendingoverayearinthebleak(荒凉的)Antarctica

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了有研究表明,在一个孤独的地方呆了很长时间会对大脑造成损害。文介绍了这项研究的过程、相关研究人员对此的看法和这一发现的重要性。【46题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段Spendingoverayearinthebleak(荒凉的)Antarcticamightchan
geyourbrainfortheworse,accordingtonewresearchoutthismonth.Itseemstoshowthatpolarexplorerswholivedfor14monthsatanAntarcticares
earchstationexperiencedbrainshrinkage,likelyasaresultoftheirlonelinessandboredom.可知,根据本月公布的一项新研究,在荒凉的南极洲度过一年多可能会让你的大脑变得更糟。这似乎表明,在南极研究站生活了14个
月的极地探险家的大脑出现了萎缩,可能是由于他们的孤独和无聊。由此可知,在一个孤独的地方呆了很长时间会对大脑造成损害。故选D。【47题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段Thestudy’sauthorsusedMRI(核磁共振)toscanthebrainsofeigh
tmembersofateambeforetheybeganalongstayattheGerman-runresearchstation.Duringtheirmission.theteamperiodicallytooktestsoftheircogniti

组定期对他们的认知和记忆进行测试,并提供血样,使研究作者能够测量他们的一种叫做脑源性神经营养因子的蛋白质水平,这种蛋白质对大脑健康很重要。当他们返回时,再次对他们的大脑进行扫描)以及第三段Finally,comparedtothemselvesbefor

aofthebrainkeytomemoryandcognition.TheiraveragelevelsofBDNFalsodroppedduringthetripanddidn’timprovesignificantlyevenafterone-and-a-halfmonthsb
ackhome.可知,最后,与执行任务前相比,探险者的大脑平均灰质较少。海马的萎缩最为明显,海马是大脑中记忆和认知的关键区域。他们的平均BDNF水平在旅途中也有所下降,即使在回家一个半月后也没有明显改善。由此
可知,科学家通过比较扫描结果得出结论。故选A。【48题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中Finally,comparedtothemselvesbeforethemission,theexplorers'brains
appearedtohavelessgreymatteronaverage.Theshrinkagewasmostapparentinthehippocampus,inareaofthebrainkeytomemoryandcognition.可知,最后,与执行任务前
相比,探险家的大脑平均灰质较少。海马的萎缩最为明显,海马是大脑中记忆和认知的关键区域。由此可推知,当探险家返回时,他们在记忆方面有些困难。故选B。【49题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中Thestudy'sfindin
gs,publishedinTheNewEnglandJournalofMedicine,aren'tthefirsttosuggestthatlongtimeofbeingseparatedcanchangethebrain.可知,这项研究发表在《新英格兰医学杂志》上,并不是第一个表明
长时间的隔绝会改变大脑的研究。由此可知,其他研究与本研究有相同的发现。故选C。【50题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段Still,sincepeoplewillcontinuetravelingtoandfromAntarcticaforlongperiodso

orelonely.可知,尽管如此,由于人们将在很长一段时间内继续往返于南极洲之间,这些发现绝对值得我们牢记在心,并进行进一步的探索。他们甚至可能会被证明与未来可能远行到火星的极少数人有关——也许只有类似的科学性、长达数月的任务才会更
加孤独。由此可知,最后一段主要讲了这一发现的重要性。故选A。DAremotecontrolisseeminglycapableofinvisiblemagictomostofus.Wejustassumeitshould.Andthelo

感恩转向歧视性偏好。当然,人们看待技术的方式确实鼓励了设计师的创造力。【51题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段theoriginaluserswouldbecarefullyaimingtheremotedirectlyatthetelevision,reading

沙发上,将遥控器指向任何方向,本能地感受他们想要的按钮,凭直觉判断遥控器的大小、形状和位置)可推知第二段是用来说明消费者对新技术形式的行为会随着时间的推移而改变。故选C。【52题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段theoriginaluserswouldbecarefullyaim

dewithrespecttodiscriminatingpreference.(很快,消费者对他们的态度重心从感恩转向了歧视性偏好)和第五段Computersneededtobemorepowerfulyetsmallerinsize.(计算机需要功能更强大但体积更小)可知“消费者期待

nikaSott通过给流浪者设计睡袋,并通过theEmpowermentPlan(赋权计划)给无家可归的人提供工作机会,进而帮助他们改变现状的故事。【56题详解】细节理解题。从第一段的句子Shedreamedupanideaforo
vercoatsthatwoulddoubleassleepingbags,made25ofthem,andhandedthemouttopeoplelivinginsheltersonanabandonedcityplayg
round.可知,她想出了一个主意,可以兼做睡袋的大衣,她做了25件,并分发给住在城市废弃操场上避难所的人们。结合字数限制,故答案是Shedesignedandmadeovercoatsandgavethemawaytohomelesspeople.Or:Shem
adeovercoatsandhandedthemouttothehomeless.【57题详解】推理判断题。从第一段的句子…onewomanvoiceddissatisfaction.“Wedon'tneedcoats;weneedjobs.”shetoldVeronika.Thensheha
dhersecondinspiration.…一位女性表达了不满。她对Veronika说:“我们不需要大衣,我们需要工作。”于是Veronika就有了第二灵感。又从第二段的句子:Aftergraduatingfromcol
legein2012,VeronikafoundedtheEmpowermentPlan,anonprofitorganization.2012年大学毕业后,Veronika创立了非盈利组织“赋权计划”。推理
可知,Veronika的第二个灵感是因为那位女性的表达的不满言语得来的,结合字数限制,故答案是Fromthewomanwhovoicedherdissatisfaction.Or:Fromthewomanwhowasdissat
isfiedwithwhatshedid【58题详解】推理判断题。从第二段句子Shehiredtwohomelesswomentosewthecoatsandpaidthemwithdonationsshereceivedthroughherblog.她雇佣了两名无家
可归的妇女来缝制这些外套,并用她通过博客收到的捐款来支付她们的工资。又从第三段句子Nearlyalltheemployeeseventuallymoveintopermanenthousing,andsomegetjo
bsintheautoindustryandconstruction.几乎所有的雇员最终都搬进了永久性住房,有些人也在汽车行业和建筑业找到了工作。由此可推之,创办EmpowermentPlan的目的就是为
了给无家可归的人提供帮助,给他们工作机会,自己谋生。结合字数限制,故答案是Toenablehomelesspeopletohelpthemselves.Or:Tohelphomelesspeoplemakealivingo
ntheirown【59题详解】词义猜测题。从第四句Veronikaislessfocusedonthecoatsthanontheworkerswhomakethem.“Attheendoftheday,”shesays,“thecoatisavehicleforustoemploypeop
le.”不过,比起外套,Veronika更关注生产这些外套的工人。“说到底,”她说,“这件外套是我们雇佣员工的工具。”可推知,Veronika更关注的是生产工人,而不是外套本身,因此外套只是雇佣员工的一个方法而已。结合字数限制,故答案是Way.Or.Method.【60题详解】推理判断题。从第一段
句子Thenshehadhersecondinspiration.可知,然后她就有了第二个灵感。由此可推知,她能从身边的事情中获取灵感,证明了她具有创造力。又从第三段句子TheEmpowermentPlan
providesfreeclassesandlendsmoneytothosewhoqualify.授权计划提供免费课程,并借钱给那些有资格的人。可推知,她创办的非营利组织非常具有关怀性。结合字数限制,故答案是Sheiscaringandcreative,becauseshehas
