31、到非常失望的。故选 C。 2B 考查细节理解。根据第四段第三句中的“The biggest unexpected birthday present for Teddy came from the Phoenix Suns, who invited him to watch Wednesday nights game”可知，Teddy 被 Phoenix Suns 邀请去观看周三晚上的比赛。故选 B。 3A 考查推理判断。根据第五段第一句“But some on social media questioned Mazzinis decision to broadcast her sons hum
32、iliating day”可知，有人在社交媒体上 质疑 Mazzini 的做法。由此可推知，并不是所有人都支持她的做法。故选 A。 【语篇解读】 本文讲述了作者 13 岁时还不会诵读，遇到了老师 Creech 后，在老师的 鼓励和帮助下，学会了诵读。成年后，作者再次遇到了这位老师，作者希望老师继续鼓励有 类似情况的学生。 4C 考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句中的“I couldnt read”并结合第一段第二、 三句可知，作者想躲藏是因为他不会诵读，故选 C 项。 干扰项分析：由于受到第一段中的“I already hated being who I was”的影响，部 分考生易误选 B 项。
33、注意此处表述的并非是讨厌被嘲笑。 5A 考查推理判断。根据第二段倒数第二句中的“Mr.Creech encouraged me and promised he would try his best to help me learn to read”可推知，Creech 老师是一个 体贴的、尽职尽责的人。 6 D 考查推理判断。 根据第一段第二句中的“I wasnt there to learn to write, read or even speak”和最后一段尾句中的“a lack of desire for education”可推知，作者在 遇到 Creech 老师之前不会诵读是因为缺乏
34、学习诵读的内在动力，故选 D 项。 7D 考查推理判断。根据第二段 Creech 老师对作者的帮助和第三、四段作者成年后 再次遇到老师的反应可推知，作者非常感激 Creech 老师。故选 D 项。 【语篇解读】 Z 一代是指在 1995 年和 2010 年之间出生的人，这一代人在消费方面比 较理智。他们比我们想象中更理性、务实，他们对未来有清晰的设想，这颠覆了人们对年轻 人的传统看法。 【难句分析】 According to a recent survey by Bank of America, more than half of young adults aged between 18 an
35、d 23 said they were planning to buy a house within five years.(Para.4) 分析：According to a recent survey by Bank of America 是介词短语作状语； 主句主语是 more than half of young adults，谓语是 said; they were planning to buy a - 7 - house within five years 是省略了 that 的宾语从句，作 said 的宾语。 译文：根据最近美国银行所做的一项调查，一半以上的 18 岁到 23 岁
36、的年轻人说他 们正计划在五年之内买房子。 8C 考查指代关系。根据第一段第二、三句可知，社会更关注与年轻人相关的负面情 况，通常，年轻人被认为是懒散的和难相处的。结合画线部分所在句可知，此处表述这种刻 板印象不再适用于 Z 一代。故画线部分指的是上文提到的人们对年轻人的传统的、糟糕的印 象，故选 C。 9D 考查推理判断。根据第三段的内容，尤其是“Gen Zers are less likely to buy on impulse.Theyre looking at the companies, not just the products”可知，Z 一代 不太可能冲动购物，他们会更多地考虑产品
37、的真正价值，由此可推知，Z 一代在购物时是明智 的，故正确答案为 D。A 项意为“日本的 Z 一代很挑剔”，第三段是讲述日本的 Z 一代在消费 中很理性，并无信息表明他们挑剔。 10A 考查推理判断。根据题干中的关键词 D. Steve Boland 定位到文章第五段，根 据该段内容可知，D. Steve Boland 认为尽管 Z 一代很年轻，但这代人务实且积极地规划他们 的未来，他们有清晰的设想并愿意努力去实现它；由此可推知，D. Steve Boland 对于 Z 一代 是持赞同的态度的，故正确答案为 A。 11B 考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第三段可知，Z 一代会积极规划他们的未来并努
38、力实现自己的设想，由此可知，他们是有远见的；又根据倒数第二段的内容，尤其是第一句 “Social issues are also.of the world”可知，社会问题也是 Z 一代关注的中心，并且 他们认为自己是改变世界的力量，由此可推知 Z 一代是有责任感的。故正确答案为 B。C 项意 为“执着且务实的”，文中体现了 Z 一代是务实的，但没有相关信息表明他们是执着的。 .阅读七选五 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了如何做计划建立好生物钟，养成早睡早 起的好习惯。 1C 考查前后句的连贯。空后说“以下是如何制订一个(计划)”，代词 one 指代“计 划”一词，因此本空选 C。 2B
39、考查主题句。空后谈到要改变，先要说清楚做出改变的很重要的原因；后面谈到 一旦明白了其中的原因，就可以告诉你的家人或室友你想做出改变。由此可以推断出这段主 要在说找到合适的动机，因此本空选 B。 3G 考查前后句的连贯。本段最后一句谈到如果买咖啡机自己弄咖啡，早上可以多睡 15 分钟，因此前一句应该与咖啡有关，本空选 G。 4F 考查前后句的连贯。本段谈到周末睡觉、起床的时间应该和平常一致，不然周末 多睡反而会增加接下来工作日的睡意。F 项中的 no matter the day 指的就是周末也应该和工 作日的作息一致。因此本空选 F。 - 8 - 5E 考查前后句的连贯。本段谈到对自己所做的计划要记录、评价和调整。本空后的 If not 说明前面讨论的是计划有效就应该坚持，因此选 E。
