created

the

B．Yellowtail

Collective，made

up

of

native

artists，to

foster

for

their

from

different

and

through

（2）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段The

extra

money

has，of

course，increased

artists'

income

in

the

past

year，but

the

relationship

is

interdependent：without

the

of

those

artists，B．Yellowtail

wouldn't

exist

and

native

culture

would

feel

the

loss．（當然，在過去的一年里，額外的錢增加了藝術(shù)家的收入，但這種關(guān)系是相互依存的：沒有這些藝術(shù)家的工作，B.Yellowtail就不會存在，本土文化也會受到損失。）可知，藝術(shù)家的收入與本土文化的發(fā)展息息相關(guān)。故選D。

（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段Dewanda

Little

Coyote

is

Yellowtail's

mother．Family

is

deeply

important

to

their

tribe．So

is

art，which

often

runs

the

family—and

along

the

matriarchal（母系的）side（Dewanda

Little

Coyote

是Yellowtail的媽媽。家庭對他們的部落非常重要。藝術(shù)也是如此，它通常在家族中流傳沿著母系一邊）可知文中提到了DewandaLittleCoyote，以展示土著文化是如何流傳下來的。故選B。

（4）觀點態(tài)度題。根據(jù)文章第二段She

first-hand

the

importance

of

to

maintaining

native

traditions．In

2015

she

turned

that

knowledge

into

of

choice．（她親身體會到藝術(shù)對保持本土傳統(tǒng)的重要性。2015年，她將這些知識轉(zhuǎn)化為自己的品牌：B.Yellowtail。一年后，她創(chuàng)建了B.YellowtailCollective，由當?shù)厮囆g(shù)家組成，為他們的社區(qū)創(chuàng)造經(jīng)濟機會。這些藝術(shù)家中有許多是來自不同部落的女性，但她們都保存了自己的文化，并通過自己選擇的媒介將其發(fā)揚光大。）可知BethanyYellowtail富有創(chuàng)造力，堅定而無私。故選D。

本文是一篇記敘文。主要講述了BethanyYellowtail創(chuàng)建了B.YellowtailCollective，由當?shù)厮囆g(shù)家組成，為他們的社區(qū)創(chuàng)造經(jīng)濟機會，延續(xù)他們的文化。

一、速讀全文，了解大意知主題。

閱讀能力一般指閱讀速度和理解能力兩個方面。閱讀速度是閱讀最基本的能力，考生必須在十分有限的時間內(nèi)運用略讀、掃讀、跳讀等技巧快速閱讀，搜尋關(guān)鍵詞、主題句，捕捉時空、順序、情節(jié)、人物、觀點，并且理清文章脈絡(luò)，把握語篇實質(zhì)。

二、看題干，帶著問題讀文章。

首先要掌握問題的類型，客觀信息題可以從文章中直接找到答案；而主觀判斷題考查的是對文章的感情基調(diào)等，這類題必須經(jīng)過對作者的態(tài)度、意圖以及對整篇文章進行深一層的推理等。其次，了解試題題干以及各個選項所包含的信息，然后有針對性地對文章進行掃讀，對有關(guān)信息進行快速定位。此法加強了閱讀的針對性，提高了做題的準確率。

三、邏輯推理，做好深層理解題。

在實際閱讀中，有時作者并未把意圖說出來，閱讀者要根據(jù)字面意思，通過語篇邏輯關(guān)系，研究細節(jié)的暗示，推敲作者的態(tài)度，理解文章的寓義。要求讀者對文字的表面信息進行分析、挖掘和邏輯推理，不能就事論事，以偏概全。推理題在提問中常用的詞有：infer，imply，suggest，indicate等。

四、猜詞悟義，掃除閱讀攔路虎。

猜詞是應(yīng)用英語的重要能力。它不但需要準確無誤地理解上下文，而且要有較大的泛讀量，掌握或認識較多的課外詞匯。我們要學(xué)會"順藤摸瓜"，通過構(gòu)詞，語法，定義，同位，對比，因果，常識，上下文等線索確定詞義。8~11.【答案】D、B、C、D【解析】（1）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段Mostofthemsaidregretwasatleastanoccasionalpartoftheirlife.（他們中的大多數(shù)人說，遺憾至少是他們生活中偶爾出現(xiàn)的一部分。）可知，大多數(shù)人都是有遺憾的，他們覺得遺憾至少是他們生活中偶爾出現(xiàn)的一部分。故選D。

（2）詞句猜測題。根據(jù)上文Lettingyourselfbeoverwhelmedbyregretisindeedbadforyou.Butgoingtotheotherextrememaybeevenworse.（讓自己被遺憾淹沒確實對你不好。但走向另一個極端可能更糟。）可知，另一個極端就是消除遺憾，由此可推知，劃線詞所在的句子意思為：消除你的遺憾并不能讓你從羞恥和悲傷中解脫出來，只會讓你一次又一次地犯同樣的錯誤。extinguish意為"消除，消滅"。A.Admit.承認；B.Destroy.破壞，消滅；C.Treasure.珍惜；D.Encounter.遇見。故選B。

（3）段落大意題。根據(jù)文章第四段Manyconnectionregretsoverlap（重疊）withmoralregrets，whichcancomeaboutafteryougoagainstyourownvalues.（許多人際關(guān)系上的遺憾與道德上的遺憾重疊，這可能發(fā)生在你違背自己的價值觀之后。）可知，該段主要介紹了遺憾和價值觀的關(guān)系，遺憾可能會發(fā)生在違背你自己的價值觀之后。故選C。

（4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段Butregretdoesn'thavetobeputasideandignored.（但遺憾并不一定要被置之不理）可知，作者下文可能要講的是如何應(yīng)對遺憾。故選D。

2020年，平克發(fā)起了有史以來規(guī)模最大的世界后悔調(diào)查。他和他的研究團隊在105個國家向超過15000人提問："你多久回顧自己的生活，希望自己能做出不同的選擇？"大多數(shù)人表示后悔至少偶爾出現(xiàn)在他們的生活中。大約21%的人表示他們一直感到后悔。只有1%的人表示他們從不感到后悔。如果你是"無悔"派的人，你可能會認為所有這些后悔會導(dǎo)致不幸。但事實并非如此。讓自己被后悔所壓倒確實對你不利，但走向另一個極端可能更糟。消除后悔并不能使你擺脫羞愧或悲傷，而是導(dǎo)致你一次又一次地犯同樣的錯誤。要真正克服內(nèi)疚，就需要將后悔放在適當?shù)奈恢蒙?。盡管不舒服，但后悔是一種了不起的認知能力。它要求你回到過去的場景。想象一下，如果你采取了不同的行動來改變它，并以這個新場景為基礎(chǔ)，與你在現(xiàn)實中經(jīng)歷的場景進行比較。當然，并不是所有的后悔都是一樣的。平克說后悔有四種基本類型，而一種后悔可能涉及其中一種或多種組合。許多與人際關(guān)系有關(guān)的后悔與道德后悔重疊，這可能發(fā)生在你違背自己的價值觀之后。例如，你可能以成為一個有愛心的人為傲，因此后悔在你傷害了關(guān)系中未能達到這個形象。道德后悔也可能只涉及你自己。也許你后悔在吃整個披薩或者不去健身房時沒有充分履行對自己健康的承諾。如果不加分析和管理，任何類型的后悔都可能對你的幸福感有害。后悔與抑郁和焦慮有關(guān)，過度的后悔可能對你的免疫系統(tǒng)產(chǎn)生不利影響。但后悔并不需要被擱置和忽視。

做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案。12~15.【答案】C、A、B、D【解析】（1）C.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段"Surprisingnewresearchsuggeststhathappinessdoesindeedhaveascent，andthattheexperienceofhappinesscanbetransmittedthroughsmell，reportsP."可知，令人驚訝的新研究表明，幸福確實有一種氣味，幸福的體驗可以通過氣味來傳遞，報告說P網(wǎng)站。所以研究的發(fā)現(xiàn)是愉快的感覺能夠被聞出來。故選C。

（2）A.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第三段"Allofthemenwerehealthyandnoneofthemweredrugusersorsmokers"可知，所有的男性都很健康，沒有一個是吸毒者或吸煙者。當時研究者是需要參加實驗的人員不能喝酒和吃味道大的食物以免影響了研究的結(jié)果。所以劃線詞的意思是"避免"的意思。A.avoid避免；B.practice實踐；C.continue繼續(xù)；D.try盡力。故選A。

（3）B.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第八段中的"Happinessperfumes，forinstance，couldbeinvented.Scenttherapiescouldalsobedevelopedtohelppeoplethroughdepressionoranxiety"可知，比如，可以發(fā)明幸福香水。氣味療法也可以用來幫助人們克服抑郁或焦慮。所以這個研究可以應(yīng)用到香水的使用方面，所以新研究的應(yīng)用價值是香水可以用來治療身體疾病。故選B正確。

（4）D.推理判斷題。根據(jù)對文章最后一段中"ourownemotionsarepotentiallymanagedthroughoursocialcontextandtheemotionalstatesofthosearoundus"我們自己的情緒是如何通過我們的社會環(huán)境和周圍人的情緒狀態(tài)來管理的?？赏茢嗌鐣沫h(huán)境會影響到我們個人的情緒，故選D。

這是一篇說明文。通過研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，快樂是能被聞出來的。

閱讀理解解題步驟：首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意。因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題，所以，速讀全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速讀的過程中，應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料。

其次，細讀題材，各個擊破。掌握全文的大意之后，細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題，弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息。

要善于抓住每段的主題句，閱讀時，要有較強的針對性。對于捕獲到的信息，要做認真分析，仔細推敲，理解透徹，只有這樣，針對題目要求，才能做到穩(wěn)、準。16~20.【答案】C、B、D、F、E【解析】（1）C．承上啟下題。根據(jù)空格前Travellingwithfriendscanbeanabsolutelyamazingexperiencewhereyoucouldmakelifelongmemoriesoritcouldendupruiningyourfriendship.（和朋友一起旅行絕對是一次令人驚奇的經(jīng)歷，在那里你可以留下終生的回憶，也可能會毀了你的友誼）可知，選項C.Soit'simportanttomakesureyouandyourfriend（s）areonthesamepage.（所以確保你和你的朋友意見一致是很重要的）承上啟下，符合語境。故選C。

（2）B．推理判斷題。根據(jù)空格后Inanefforttokeepeveryonehappy,goovertravelplansandexpectationsaheadoftime.（為了讓每個人都開心，提前檢查旅行計劃和期望）可知這一段講到為了讓大家開心，提前翻閱一下旅行計劃和期望。所以選項B.Includeatleastoneactivityforeveryone.（每個人至少一個活動。）符合語境。故選B。

（3）D．細節(jié)理解題。本段建議要和出游同伴彼此溝通，互相尊重，根據(jù)空格前Inthiscase,shareyourrequirementsdirectlywithyourtravelcompanions.（這樣，和你的旅游同伴分享你的需求）可知，選項D.Atthesametime,listentotheirconcernsandberespectfulofthem.（同時也要傾聽對方的心聲，尊敬他們）符合語境，respect和D項中berespectfulof是同義詞。故選D。

（4）F．細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)空格前butmakesureyourfriendsknowwhereyouareandhaveawayofcontactingyou.（但要確保你的朋友知道你在哪里，并且有辦法聯(lián)系你）可知，選項F.It'sespeciallytrueoftravellinginforeigncountriesorunfamiliarplaces.（在國外或陌生的地方旅行尤其如此。）符合語境。故選F。

（5）E．推理判斷題。根據(jù)空格前trytostayoffyourphone.（盡量遠離手機。）可知，選項E.Don'trespondtolessimportantworkcontactorsendmessagesfrequently.（不要回復(fù)不緊急的工作和總是發(fā)送信息）是具體做法，符合語境。故選E。

本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了和朋友快樂出游避免毀掉友誼的幾條建議。

"七選五"這樣的題型，主要目的在于考查考生對文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握。解題時最主要的兩個步驟就是1．理清文章的邏輯和結(jié)構(gòu)，2．在所給的原文中找出關(guān)鍵詞或者說是線索詞。文章的整體思路能幫助你在答案中篩選出符合邏輯的選項，關(guān)鍵詞則能幫助你確定更多的細節(jié)，排除相近的選項。得出正確的答案。21~35.【答案】A、C、A、B、D、A、D、B、C、B、C、A、B、C、D【解析】（1）A.考查不定代詞及語境理解。A.nothing沒有什么；B.something某事；C.everything一切；D.anything任何事。句意：但我什么也沒做，因為它太不可預(yù)測了。根據(jù)后文"foritwassounpredictable"可知因為"攻擊者"行動難以預(yù)測，所以作者什么都沒做。故選A。

（2）C.考查動詞及語境理解。A.missed錯過；B.forgot忘記；C.stopped停止；D.avoided避免。句意：我向后退了一步，攻擊者停止了對我的攻擊。根據(jù)后文"Instead,hefliedintheairwithitsgracefulwingsinfrontofme."可知，作者后退一步之后，蝴蝶也不再攻擊作者，而是飛到了半空，stopdoingsth."停止正在做的事"。故選C。

（3）A.考查形容詞及語境理解。A.funny有趣的；B.surprising意外的；C.shocking令人震驚的；D.exciting令人激動的。句意：如果我受傷了，我不會覺得這很有趣，但我沒有受傷，這很有趣，我笑了。結(jié)合后文
