6、apan is one of the most hospitable and beautiful countries on earth, with so many new experiences for travelers to try, not to mention world-class cuisine！” They had this message for Brits thinking about visiting：“Though some travelers worry about language barriers, as soon as you arrive in Japan,

7、you’ll realize that people will go out of their way to help you enjoy their country. There really are few ‘barriers’—road signs and train stations are in English, you’ll find that people speak more English than they let on, and even when they don’t, they will go above and beyond to help you out.” 【

D．Brits are good at languages. A　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句“Brits(英國人) are extremely bad at languages, with many of us rel

9、ying on the fact that the rest of the world speak English.”點題，并結(jié)合對前兩段的整體理解可推知，英國人的語言能力比較差，故選A。 2．How many Brits can’t order food correctly because of language barriers? A．About 10%. B．About 12%. C．About 20%. D．About 21%. C　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“The survey by Hostelworld showed that one in five blamed

10、 getting lost on the language barrier, while a similar number had problems ordering food”可知，1/5即20%的英國人因為語言障礙不能正確點餐，故選C。 3．How is the text mainly developed? A．By analyzing causes. B．By giving examples. C．By making description. D．By listing data. D　解析：寫作手法題。根據(jù)對文章的整體理解可知，本文列舉了大量的數(shù)據(jù)來論證作者的觀點，由此可推知

11、，本文是通過列出數(shù)據(jù)來展開的，故選D。 B (2020·福建三校第一學(xué)期聯(lián)考)Air pollution shortens human lives by more than a year, according to a new study from a team of leading environmental engineers and public health researchers. Better air quality could lead to a significant extension of lifespans(壽命) around the world. It is t

12、he first time that data on air pollution and the lifespan has been studied together in order to check how air pollution affects overall life expectancy. The researchers looked at outdoor air pollution from particulate matter(PM)(顆粒物) smaller than 2.5 microns. These particulates can enter deep into

13、the lungs, and breathing PM 2.5 is associated with the increased risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer. PM 2.5 pollution comes from power plants, cars and trucks, fires, agriculture and industrial emissions(排放物)． Led by Joshua Apte, the team used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study to

14、measure PM 2.5 air pollution exposure and its consequences in 185 countries. They then quantified the national impact on life expectancy for each individual country as well as on a global scale. “The fact that air pollution is a major global killer is already well-known，” said Apte. “And we all car

15、e about how long we can live. Here, we were able to systematically identify how air pollution shortens lives around the world. What we found is that air pollution has a very large effect on survival—on average about a year globally.” In the context of other significant phenomena negatively affectin

16、g human survival rates, Apte said this is a big number. “For example, it’s considerably larger than the benefit in survival we might see if we found cures for both lung and breast cancer combined，” he said. “In countries like India and China, the benefit for elderly people of improving air quality w

17、ould be especially large. For much of Asia, if air pollution were removed as a risk for death, 60-year-olds would have a 15 percent to 20 percent higher chance of living to age 85 or older.” 【解題導(dǎo)語】　本文是一篇說明文。研究表明，良好的空氣質(zhì)量有益于延長壽命，但是空氣污染使得細顆粒物進入人體肺部，導(dǎo)致心臟病、癌癥、中風(fēng)發(fā)病率升高，從而影響人的壽命。 4．What do we know about P

18、M 2.5? A．It has a bad effect on human health. B．It will be controlled in the future. C．It mainly comes from industrial emissions. D．It spreads to the world from Asian countries.

19、reased risk of heart attacks, strokes and cancer.”可知，PM 2.5影響人體健康，故A項正確。 5．What did the researchers do to study how air pollution affects the lifespan? A．They collected accurate information from all the Asian countries. B．They employed the research data to calculate the effect. C．They studied th

20、e disease and lifespan together time and time again. D．They measured particulate matter much more carefully than before. B　解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“It is the first time that data on air pollution and the lifespan has been studied together in order to check how air pollution affects overall life expectancy.”

21、可知，這是首次將空氣污染和壽命數(shù)據(jù)結(jié)合起來研究，以查明空氣污染如何影響總體預(yù)期壽命。故B項正確。 6．What can be inferred from the text? A．The key to people living longer is good air quality. B．People think air pollution is the most dangerous killer to them. C．Apte will agree that people should take action to deal with air pollution. D．Factori

22、es should decrease the production of cars to stop air pollution. C　解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)尾段的內(nèi)容，尤其是“In countries like India and China, the benefit for elderly people of improving air quality would be especially large.”可知，Apte認為改善空氣質(zhì)量對老年人有好處。據(jù)此可推知，他會同意人們采取措施應(yīng)對空氣污染，故C項正確。 7．What is the best title for the text?

23、 A．The Way Human Beings Enjoy a Longer Lifespan B．The Importance of Getting Rid of Air Pollution C．Asian People Are Suffering from Serious Air Pollution　 D．Air Pollution Reduces the Lifespan by More than One Year D　解析：標題歸納題。通讀全文可知，文章第一段第一句“Air pollution shortens human lives by more than a year,

24、according to a new study from a team of leading environmental engineers and public health researchers.”為全文的主題句，結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容可知，文章通過介紹科學(xué)研究，說明空氣污染導(dǎo)致人的壽命減少一年以上。故D項最適合作本文的標題。 Ⅱ.七選五 (2020·濟南模擬)About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people from other countries.

25、Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners. 1.________ There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language.

31、le of the earth have in common.”可知，此處是表示英語在全世界的傳播是一件好事，故選D項。 5．B　解析：結(jié)合下文“Maybe the popularity of English won’t last that long either.”可知，B項“但是它并沒有流行起來”符合語境，銜接上下文。 Ⅲ.語法填空 (2020·綿陽第一次診斷)Adam Braun established the organization Pencils of Promise in 2008.
