28、貌取人。我们也不要以年龄来评价电影明星。21 岁的艾 丽范宁成为戛纳电影节历史上年龄最小的评审团成员。尽管有人认为她太过年轻，不够资 格，可是范宁在三岁时就开始了表演，此后她在多部电影中扮演角色，成为好莱坞最红的年 轻明星之一。凭借丰富的表演经验和对艺术的热爱，范宁无疑能够在戛纳电影节上”代表电 影界的一个新阶层”。 1C 考查词义猜测。根据第三段第一句可知，范宁当选为戛纳电影节评审团成员招致 了一些人的批评，他们认为范宁与业内其他资深人士相比过于年轻；据此可推知，画线词意 为”经验丰富的人，老手”，故 C 项正确。 2 D 考查细节理解。 根据第五段第一句“In her latest mov
29、ie Teen Spirit . Fanning plays a pop singer”可知，D 项正确。 3B 考查推理判断。根据第五段叙述的无唱歌经验的范宁为扮演一位流行音乐歌手所 做的努力和尾段中的“With such rich acting experience and devotion to her art”可 推知，作者认为范宁是一位对工作尽心尽力的演员，故 B 项正确。 4A 考查主旨大意。根据第二段第一句“At just 21，Elle Fanning made history by becoming the youngest jury(评审团)member at the Ca
30、nnes Film Festival”并结合全文 其他内容可知，本文主要讲述了 21 岁的艾丽范宁成为戛纳电影节历史上年龄最小的评审团 成员，并介绍了她的演艺经历，故 A 项正确。 B B 体裁：说明文 题材：社会生活 主题：社交媒体平台 【语篇解读】 在过去的十年里，社交媒体平台迅猛发展。文章主要分析了短视频和直 播流行的原因，并提到媒体平台也存在许多负面影响。 【难句分析】 In the past decade, the use of social media has grown in a way that no one could have guessed. 分析：该句是一个主从复合句。
31、句中“that no one could have guessed”为 that 引 导的定语从句，修饰先行词“a way”。 译文：在过去的十年里，社交媒体的使用以一种没有人能猜到的方式增加。 5A 考查词义猜测。根据第二段第二句“Trends come and go, disappearing almost as quickly as they appeared”可知，潮流更迭很快，由此可推知，社交媒体的一个主要特 - 7 - 点就是其多变性，故 A 项正确。 6C 考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“The sense of community that users of short vide

33、交媒体的迅速发展持客观的态度。 故选 A。 .完形填空 体裁：记叙文 主题语境：人与社会人际交流用握手进行问候 【语篇解读】 每天，五年级的英语老师 White 老师都使用一种个性化的握手来问候每 一位学生。这种问候方式始于与一位四年级的学生握手，之后又感染了其他学生，连其他班 和三年级的学生都参与进来。 White 老师这种与学生构建真实的关系使学生专心学习的方式受 到所在学校校长的赞赏。 【技巧点拨】 完形填空的解题技巧之一就是要根据上下文来“推理”出最佳选项，要 遵循“上下求索”的原则来查找信息。例如第 3 题，根据上文中的“has a personalized handshake as
34、 greetings”和“we do our good mornings”可知，这里是“问候”的意 思； 第11题， 根据上下文的内容可推断出， 这里是White在采访中补充说的内容， 因此选added。 1 A 依据句中的“the school gate”可知， White 老师问候学生是在学生到校的时候， 因此这里指学生到达大门口时。 2D 依据上文中的“we do our good mornings”可知，师生问候之后，学生就 该离开去教室了。故选 D。 3A 依据下文中的“we start doing the moves.

36、ief“安慰”；envy“忌妒”；sorrow“悲伤”；excitement“兴奋，激动”。 6C 根据语境可知，问候是在早上上课开始之前进行的，学生们对此感到很兴奋，因 - 8 - 此这样的方式让学生在上课期间效率很高，因此选 C。 7B 依据下文中的“The girl of fourth grade”可知，White 开始握手是和一位四 年级的学生。 8C 依据本句中的“every morning before shed go to class”可知，这个四年级 的女孩每天早上等着和 White 握手后才去上课。故选 C。 9C 依据上文可知，这个女孩是因为等着与 White 握手才迟到的
37、，句中的 because 解 释迟到的原因。 10 D 根据语境可知， 此处表示“握手”， 故应用 make， 构成动词短语 make handshakes with .“与握手”。classify“将分类”；confirm“证实”。 11A 上文中的第二段和第四段都有 White 接受采访时说的话，此处是他又补充说的 话，因此选 A，意为”补充说”。 12C 依据上文中的“It was just one or two students and then it became contagious(有感染力的)”可知，老师与学生的握手对学生很重要，故选 C 项“重要，意义 重大”。 13B 依据
38、上文中的“then it became contagious(有感染力的)”和下文的“then it was kids from other classes. Now I have third graders wanting to do it too”可知， 全班的学生都想和 White 握手。 14D 依据下文中的“When kids know their teacher _18_， they are attentive, engaged and driven”可知，White 的问候方式给学生们的学习带来了热情，故选 D。第二段 中的“White told ABC News of his
