38、etwork 的创办目的是让孩子脱离电脑走向户外去体验野外生活的惊奇。故选 D。2. C解析：词义猜测题。难度较大。根据第一段“.aims to get schoolchildren off theircomputers”以及第三段“.is attempting to attract youngsters away from television and computerscreen”可知该组织的创建目的是鼓励孩子每天放弃或者减少 30 分钟看屏幕的时间而到户外去。故选 C。3.A解析：细节理解题。难度中等。根据第七段“The tragic truth is that kids have lo
39、st touchwith nature and the outdoors in just one generation.”可知 Andy Simpson 认为现在的孩子们缺少与自然的接触，而第八段“Time spent outdoors is down, roaming ranges have fallen drastically,activity levels are declining and the ability to identify common species has been lost.”正是孩子们与自然接触非常少的具体表现。故选 A。4. B解析：细节理解题。难度中等。根据文
40、章第一段“The Wild Network aims to getschoolchildren off their computers and outdoors to experience the wonders of the wilderness”，并结合下文内容可知，the Wild Network 所鼓励的是走向户外亲近自然，A、C、D 选项中所述活动均为户外的活动，而 B 选项为室内活动，不在其鼓励的范围之内。故选 B。二、完形填空1. C解析：reminded 意为“提醒，使想起”；taught 意为“教，教育”；greeted 意为“迎接，打招呼”；interrupted 意为“打
41、断（别人的话）”。根据空格前“On my first day of school”及空格后“at this new school”并结合选项可知， “他用纯正的克里奥尔语跟我打招呼”符合语境。故选 C。2. B解析：invite 意为“邀请”；understand 意为“理解，明白”；praise 意为“称赞，赞扬”；panic 意为“（使）惊慌”。空格所在句子为一个非限制性定语从句，which 指代“他用纯正的克里奥尔语跟我打招呼”这件事情， 那么句意为“这使得我感觉到在这个新的学校他能够理解我”就比较符合语境。故选 B。3. D解析： 根据第三段第一句“Sometimes he would
42、 bring in picture books, and have the twoof us who were26to English read out loud.”可知句意为：班里坐满了其他来学习英语的海地人。故选 D。4. A解析：learned 意为“学习”；came 意为“来”；read 意为“阅读”；spread 意为“蔓延，传播”。根据空格前“I couldnt even read the title of the textbook”及空格后“I understood mostquestions”，可知由不会读到理解这一过程应该是我“学习”得快。故选 A。5. B解析：picked
43、 up 意为“捡起，（用车）接，接收（信号）”；put up 意为“竖起，举起，张贴”；took up 意为“占（时间，空间等），拿起，开始从事”；lifted up 意为“举高，抬高”。依据空格前“I understood most questions”以及加强语气的 even 一词可知，作者理解了所有的问题甚至能够举手回答问题。put up ones hand 意为“举手”，是固定搭配。故选 B。6. D解析：youngest 意为“最年轻的”；earliest 意为“最早的”；fondest 意为“最喜欢的”；newest 意为“最新 （听到、 接触等） 的”。 根据空格后“When w
44、e didnt get a word27 , he wouldsay it to us and have us repeat it28we remember it.”可知句意为：老师让我们两个最新接触英语的学生来朗读，如果有一个词不会读，他就会教给我们并且一直重复。故选 D。7.A解析：right 意为“对的，正确的”；active 意为“积极的”；alive 意为“活泼的，有生气的”；abundant 意为“充足的，丰富的”。根据空格后的“he would say it to us and have us repeatit”，可知句意为：当我们没有说对的时候，他会示范然后让我们重复。故选 A
45、。8. C解析：after 意为“在之后”；if 意为“如果”；until 意为“到为止”；when 意为“当的时候”。分析空格所在句子可知，老师会先说然后让我们重复，一直到我们记住那个词为止。故选 C。9.A解析：words 意为“单词，话”；letters 意为“字母，信”；phrases 意为“词组”；sentences意为“句子”。 由空格后的“For each word we had to memorize its spelling and pronunciation”可知，老师让我们每天学习 10 到 20 个单词。故选 A。10. C解析：repeated 意为“重复，复述”；m
46、arked 意为“做记号，标志着”；created 意为“创造”；searched 意为“搜寻，搜查”。分析空格所在句子可知，对于每个单词，我们都必须记得它的拼写和发音，并且要用它来造一个句子。根据语境可知 “创造”正确。故选 C。11. D解析：attitude 意为“态度”；talent 意为“天赋，才能”；habit 意为“习惯”；method意为“方式，方法”。空格前 this 一词所指是前一句话所提到的“用单词造句子”的内容，这当然是一种教学方法。故选 D。12. B解析：generally 意为“通常地，一般地，普遍地”；gradually 意为“逐渐地，渐渐地”；usually
47、意为“通常”；probably 意为“可能”。根据空格前一句可知，作者还不具备创造性。But构成转折，下文内容表明“老师帮助我喜欢上了创造性写作”，可见应该是“逐渐地”帮助我。故选 B。13. C解析：由文章可知 Mr. Jean Pierre 的身份是一名老师，本句句意为：他是第一位曾经在午饭期间或者放学后帮助我的老师。故选 C。14.A解析：survive 意为“幸存，存活，继续存在”；offer 意为“（主动）提供”；exchange意为“交换，互换”；escape 意为“逃脱，泄漏”。空格所在句是本段的主题句。因此总结归纳下文几个具体问题，可知老师教给我们在生活中如何生存的本领。故选
48、A。15. B解析：空格处与空格后的 ourselves 构成动词短语，show ourselves 意为“展示我们自己”； behave ourselves 意为“举止得体”； force ourselves 意为“迫使我们自己”； hide ourselves意为“隐藏我们自己”。 空格后句子“how to shake someones36at a job interview”意为“如何在工作面试时与人握手”， 所讲的是礼仪方面的问题， 由此可以推断出 35 空所在句句意为：他花费时间告诉我们如何在办公室环境里举止得体。故选 B。解题过程中容易误选 A。show ourselves 在前半
49、句中虽也讲得通，但与后半句尤其是 36空所在部分放在一起就会显得不连贯。本题的解决方法是先做出 36 空答案，然后再来确定35 空。 由 36 空“握手”可知是礼仪的问题， 故而选择 behave 表示“举止得体”就更加符合语境。本题给我们的提示是， 解答完形填空题时未必要依照题目的顺序进行， 有时候需要结合下文信息来解题。16. D解析：shake ones hand= shake hands with sb.意为“握手”。故选 D。本题是上一小题确定答案的依据。17. C解析：still 意为“仍然”，表示某种状况得以继续；even 意为“甚至”，加强语气；yet意为“还，然而”，表示语义
50、转折。根据语境可知，“他告诉我们如何保持专注，甚至是在情况比较糟糕的时候”，其他选项放进空格会导致语义冲突。故选 C。18. Bwith 意为“随着，有，用，和一起”；against 意为“反对，对不利”；around 意为“在周围”； beside 意为“在旁边”。 结合第 37 空部分内容进行分析得知，“要如何保持专注，甚至是当一切似乎都对我们不利的时候”。故选 B。19.A解析：impress 意为“给留下印象，打动”；affect 意为“影响”；imagine 意为“想象”；motivate 意为“使有动机，激发的积极性”。根据“you can39someone bybeautiful
