Lisinopril
What is lisinopril? Lisinopril is a medicine to treat high blood pressure. This medicine is only available on prescription. It comes as tablets. It also comes as a liquid for people who find it hard to swallow tablets, but this has to be ordered specially by your doctor.
Important information
To make sure lisinopril is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
● Heart, liver or kidney problems
● Diabetes (糖尿病)
● Higher levels of potassium (钾) in your blood
Women who are pregnant can’t take the medicine. It could harm the unborn baby.
How should I take lisinopril?
● Take lisinopril exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may sometimes change your dose (剂量) to make sure you get the best results.
● Drink plenty of water each day while you are taking this medicine.
● Lisinopril can be taken with or without food.
● Your blood pressure needs to be checked often, and you may need frequent blood tests.
What if I forget to take it?
If you miss a dose of lisinopril, take it as soon as you remember. If you don’t remember until the following day, skip the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten one. If you forget doses often, it may help to set an alarm to remind you.
What should I avoid while taking lisinopril?
● Avoid drinking alcohol, because it can further lower your blood pressure and may increase certain side effects of lisinopril.
● Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据Important information中Women who are pregnant can’t take the medicine. It could harm the unborn baby.可知,怀孕的妇女不能吃这种药。它可能会伤害未出生的婴儿。所以,这种药对孕妇有害。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据How should I take lisinopril?中Your blood pressure needs to be checked often, and you may need frequent blood tests.可知,服用lisinopril时需要经常进行血压测试,也可能要经常验血,故选D。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据What if I forget to take it?中If you miss a dose of lisinopril, take it as soon as you remember. If you don’t remember until the following day, skip the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten one.可知,如果自从你错过了一剂药,你已经有将近一天没有服药了,跳过忘记的剂量,不要服用双倍剂量的药物来弥补忘记的剂量。也就是按时服用下一剂药。故选A。

Over the past couple of days, on our local Freecycle page there have been a lot of wanted posts, all from the same person, basically asking for everything you’d need to set up a house from scratch.
One of the things they asked for was a queen-sized bed. At that time we just happened to have an extra one, so I messaged them. They immediately came in the afternoon. The people who came, two ladies and a man, are actually friends of another woman named Jenny who owned a young boy. This woman has escaped from a dangerous, violent relationship and these friends of hers are helping her and her son start over again, with everything from furniture to toothbrushes on their list of needs.
While they were here, I also gave them one of our spare bookcase and some coffee cups. I even asked them to keep in touch in case they needed anything else—I have a way of connecting people with things. I offered the woman a cupboard we had as well; her friends just needed to see if there was a place and/or a need for it in their friend’s new home.
I was so excited to meet those loving people who were obviously willing to help their friend. It was clear how protective they felt of this woman and her boy, how much they love her and wanted her to have a happy and safe life, and to spend even a few minutes with people like that is an experience I’ll remember for a long, long time.
A quick thank-you to all who have sent more donations over the last couple of days, as well as lovely messages of thanks and blessings. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with it all, but it’s a problem I’m happy to have.
24. What were the people who arrived at the author’s in the afternoon going to do?

Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with it all, but it’s a problem I’m happy to have.(向所有在过去几天里捐了更多钱的人表示快速的感谢,以及表达感谢和祝福的可爱信息。有时很难跟上,但这是一个我很高兴的问题。)可知,从最后两段,我们可以推断,在人们的帮助下,珍妮和她的儿子将有一个新的开始。故选D。

Dr. John Wilkins was a natural philosopher who lived from 1614 until 1672. He was crazy about getting to the moon and meeting the people who surely lived there. Wilkins believed that anything as Earth-like as the moon must have been created by God for living beings, and he was determined to meet them — despite the fact that he was three centuries ahead of his time.
In the 1600s, the scientific understanding of gravity and outer space was limited. Wilkins believed, like many 17th-century scientists, that there was no difference between the atmosphere of Earth and the conditions in space, and that Earth’s pull was due to magnetism (磁力). It was only reasonable, then, that Wilkins believed a two-wheeled horse-drawn battle car with wings with enough speed could lift high enough off the ground to break free of Earth’s magnetic pull and reach the moon.
Then Wilkins moved on to more pressing issues with his remarkable ability to think of new ideas: How would travelers feed themselves during the journey? He theorized that the main cause of hunger was simply the act of working against gravity, so getting to the moon without being burdened by it would be able to be realized. There was some knowledge at that time about the fact that air gets thinner and colder the higher up you go, but he had a fix for that too, “moistened sponges (湿润的海绵) might help us against its thinness”.
By studying the way in which birds fly, which also happened to be part of the studies that led to planes and rockets centuries later, Wilkins put his theory to the test with the help of a colleague, Robert Hooke. Neither of the two ever recorded their attempts, but it’s somewhat safe to say that it didn’t work out. Hooke himself may have been the reason he gave up hope, in fact, since he was part of the team that discovered space was a place without oxygen.
28. What do we know about Dr. John Wilkins?
A. He dreamed of landing on the moon.
B. He wrote about people living on the moon.
C. He urged the public to know more about space.
D. He had a rich knowledge of space in the 1670s.
29. Which of the following might Wilkins agree with?
A. The air on the moon is not fit for human beings.
B. People don’t need to eat things on the moon.
C. Earth’s magnetism can be changed easily.
D. Oxygen doesn’t exist in outer space.
30. What can be concluded from Paragraphs 2 & 3?
A. Wilkins had prepared a lot in theory.
B. Wilkins was ready for his moon-landing.
C. Wilkins made a great contribution to philosophy.
D. Wilkins was the greatest natural philosopher in history.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To honor a great scientist.
B. To encourage studies on outer space.
C. To introduce an early attempt of moon-landing.
D. To inform people of the knowledge about the universe.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。约翰·威尔金斯博士是一位自然哲学家,他疯狂地想要登上月球,并见到肯定住在那里的人,并为此在理论上做了很多准备。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中Dr. John Wilkins was a natural philosopher who lived from 1614 until 1672. He was crazy about getting to the moon and meeting the people who surely lived there.(约翰·威尔金斯博士是一位自然哲学家,生于1614年,卒于1672年。他疯狂地想要登上月球,并见到肯定住在那里的人。)可知,Dr. John Wilkins梦想着登上月球。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中He theorized that the main cause of hunger was simply the act of working against gravity, so getting to the moon without being burdened by it would be able to be realized.(他的理论是,饥饿的主要原因仅仅是与重力相反的行为,所以不受重力的影响而登上月球是可以实现的。)可知,Wilkins同意人们不需要在月球上吃东西。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二、三段中In the 1600s, the scientific understanding of gravity and outer space was limited. Wilkins believed, like many 17th-century scientists, that there was no difference between the atmosphere of Earth and the conditions in space, and that Earth’s pull was due to magnetism (磁力).(在17世纪,对重力和外层空间的科学理解是有限的。威尔金斯和许多17世纪的科学家一样,认为地球的大气层和太空环境没有区别,地球的引力是由磁力引起的。)和Then Wilkins moved on to more pressing issues with his remarkable ability to think of new ideas: How would travelers feed themselves during the journey?(然后,威尔金斯以其非凡的创新思维能力,转向更紧迫的问题:旅行者在旅途中如何养活自己?)可推知,威尔金斯在理论上做了很多准备。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中He was crazy about getting to the moon and meeting the people who surely lived there. Wilkins believed that anything as Earth-like as the moon must have been created by God for living beings, and he was determined to meet them — despite the fact that he was three centuries ahead of his time.(他疯狂地想要登上月球,并见到肯定住在那里的人。威尔金斯相信,任何像地球一样的东西,如月亮,一定是上帝为众生所创造的,他决心与他们相遇——尽管他比他的时代早了三个世纪。)可知,作者的目的是介绍早期的登月尝试。故选C。
D
Breathing dirty air comes at a high price. Air pollution lowers the average life spans (寿命) by a year worldwide and in more polluted parts of Asia and Africa, dirty air shortens lives up to twice that much. Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science & Technology Letters. The study used data gathered in 2016 as part of a project known as the Global Burden of Disease and was the first major country-by-country look at the connection between the length of life and what’s known as fine PM.
Air pollution has been linked to many health problems. Most earlier studies had looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death. Joshua Apte is an environmental scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. By looking at life expectancy (预期寿命), his team had hoped to make the threat easier to understand. PM2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles (颗粒) of pollution in the air. Higher levels of PM2.5 can cause health problems and cut months, if not years, from the average length of life. This analysis shows how pollution affects life expectancy in different parts of the world.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Apte’s group calculated how holding pollution to this low level would help people. In countries with very dirty air, meeting this standard would lengthen people’s lives. However, in countries whose air already meets this standard, the study shows no gain in life expectancy. In other words, meeting the WHO standard won’t reduce health costs resulting from dirty air because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter, pollution still causes serious risks. Meanwhile, the scientists compared how other threats including smoking and cancer shorten the length of life across the globe.
32. What is special about the study?
A. It won recognition from a professional journal.
B It discussed health problems caused by air pollution.
C. It gathered lots of data for the Global Burden of Disease.
D. It analyzed the link between life spans and PM by country.
33. What is Joshua Apte’s team trying to do?
A. Help people better understand air pollution.
B. Study life expectancy in different countries.
C. Know how small air pollutants affect health.
D. Deal with different kinds of health problems.
34. What will happen if a country limits PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air?
A. People’s life spans will surely increase. B. It will get strong support from the WHO.
C. People’s health may not be much improved. D. It will guarantee people clean air.
35. What might be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A. How cleaning up the air can lengthen lives.
B. How air pollution shortens lives by country.
C. How other threats shorten life expectancy.
D. How all the countries deal with severe pollution.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. C
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。在全球范围内,空气污染使人的平均寿命降低了一年,而在污染更严重的亚洲和非洲地区,空气污染使人的寿命缩短了两倍之多。科学家们在《环境科学与技术快报》上分享了他们的新发现。该研究分析了不同国家居民的寿命与PM之间的关系。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中The study used data gathered in 2016 as part of a project known as the Global Burden of Disease and was the first major country-by-country look at the connection between the length of life and what’s known as fine PM.(该研究使用了2016年作为一个名为“全球疾病负担”(Global Burden of Disease)项目的一部分收集的数据,这是首个主要的逐国研究寿命长短与“细颗粒物”(fine PM)之间关系的国家。)可知,研究的特殊之处是该研究分析了不同国家居民的寿命与PM之间的关系。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Joshua Apte is an environmental scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. By looking at life expectancy (预期寿命), his team had hoped to make the threat easier to understand.(约书亚·阿普特(Joshua Apte)是德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的环境科学家。通过观察预期寿命,他的团队希望能让这种威胁更容易理解。)可知,Joshua Apte的团队帮助人们更好地了解空气污染。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air.(世界卫生组织(WHO)建议将PM2.5浓度限制在每立方米10微克以内。)和In other words, meeting the WHO standard won’t reduce health costs resulting from dirty air because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter, pollution still causes serious risks.(换句话说,达到世界卫生组织的标准并不能降低空气污染造成的健康成本,因为即使低于每立方米10微克,污染仍然会造成严重的风险。)可知,如果一个国家将PM2.5浓度限制在每立方米10微克,人们的健康状况可能不会有太大改善。故选C。

【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇议论文。作者论述的是“什么大学最适合你?”
【61题详解】
考查一般疑问句。句意:你正在考虑的大学是否提供你感兴趣的课程和学习机会?句子用一般现在时态,句子主语是the college,单数第三人称,且是一般疑问句,故答案为Does。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:你正在考虑的大学是否提供你感兴趣的课程和学习机会?此处opportunities是先行词,指物,在后面的定语从句中作主语,故答案为that/which。
【63题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:在大学三年级之前,你不需要申报大学专业,但如果你对自己的选择感到兴奋并投入其中,你更有可能成功。固定搭配:be likely to do sth.“很可能做某事”。故答案为to succeed。
【64题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:考虑你的学习风格:你更喜欢知识性强的讲座还是生动活泼的讨论?此处learning style“学习风格”是名词,由形容词性物主代词来修饰,故答案为your。
【65题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:寻找你需要的学术经验,让你感到挑战和投入。此处表示“感到……”,用过去分词作表语,故答案为challenged。
【66题详解】
考查形容词。句意:成功所需要的支持——同侪辅导、易接近的教授和职业服务,这些只是你在校园里可能找到的一些选择。此处是形容词修饰名词,故答案为accessible。
【67题详解】
考查定冠词the。句意:成功所需要的支持——同侪辅导、易接近的教授和职业服务,这些只是你在校园里可能找到的一些选择。此处表示“这些选择中的一些”,故答案为the。
【68题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:查看课程和项目描述,教授的评论,如果你能参观校园,可以旁听一些课程。结合句意可知此处用名词复数。故答案为descriptions。
【69题详解】
考查动名词作主语。句意:评估你的入学机会是一个很好的确定一个强的学术匹配的方法。此处是动名词作主语,故答案为Assessing。
【70题详解】
考查with的复合结构。句意:大多数招生顾问告诉我们,你的GPA和高中课程的质量是你申请大学最重要的因素,标准化考试的分数也紧随其后。此处是with的复合结构作伴随状语,故答案为with。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第2小题中先行词为名词opportunities,再分析先行词opportunities在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词opportunities代入从句中可知,只能作主语,故确定关系词为that/which。

4.考查强调句式。句意:正是她的毅力和决心使她最终得到了应得的东西。此处是强调句式,不管被强调部分是单数还是复数,是时间、地点还是原因,强调句型中的be动词一律采用单数形式,句子用一般过去时态,故把were改成was。

【点睛】强调句型
1. 用It is/wasthat/who句型表示强调。
(1)陈述句的强调句型:It is/was+被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+that/who(当强调主语且主语指人)+其它部分。 e.g. It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.
(2)一般疑问句的强调句型:同上,只是把is/was提到it前面。 e.g. Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?
(3)特殊疑问句的强调句型:被强调部分(通常是疑问代词或疑问副词)+is/was+it+that/who+其它部分?e.g. When and where was it that you were born?
注:被强调的部分(通常是句子的主语、状语、宾语或宾语补足语)放在is/was的后面,如被强调的是人,则后面可用who,whom等代替。
2. notuntil句型的强调句:
句型为:It is/was not until+被强调部分+that+其它部分:
e.g. 普通句:He didn't go to bed until/till his wife came back.
强调句:It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
3. 强调谓语动词:用助动词do, does或did加动词原形来强调谓语动词。注意:此种强调只用do/does和did,没有别的形式;过去时态用did,后面的谓语动词用原形。如:Do come early. 务必早来。He did send you a letter last week. 昨天他确实寄给你一封信。

Lisinopril
What is lisinopril? Lisinopril is a medicine to treat high blood pressure. This medicine is only available on prescription. It comes as tablets. It also comes as a liquid for people who find it hard to swallow tablets, but this has to be ordered specially by your doctor.
Important information
To make sure lisinopril is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have:
● Heart, liver or kidney problems
● Diabetes (糖尿病)
● Higher levels of potassium (钾) in your blood
Women who are pregnant can’t take the medicine. It could harm the unborn baby.
How should I take lisinopril?
● Take lisinopril exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Your doctor may sometimes change your dose (剂量) to make sure you get the best results.
● Drink plenty of water each day while you are taking this medicine.
● Lisinopril can be taken with or without food.
● Your blood pressure needs to be checked often, and you may need frequent blood tests.
What if I forget to take it?
If you miss a dose of lisinopril, take it as soon as you remember. If you don’t remember until the following day, skip the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten one. If you forget doses often, it may help to set an alarm to remind you.
What should I avoid while taking lisinopril?
● Avoid drinking alcohol, because it can further lower your blood pressure and may increase certain side effects of lisinopril.
● Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall.

Over the past couple of days, on our local Freecycle page there have been a lot of wanted posts, all from the same person, basically asking for everything you’d need to set up a house from scratch.
One of the things they asked for was a queen-sized bed. At that time we just happened to have an extra one, so I messaged them. They immediately came in the afternoon. The people who came, two ladies and a man, are actually friends of another woman named Jenny who owned a young boy. This woman has escaped from a dangerous, violent relationship and these friends of hers are helping her and her son start over again, with everything from furniture to toothbrushes on their list of needs.
While they were here, I also gave them one of our spare bookcase and some coffee cups. I even asked them to keep in touch in case they needed anything else—I have a way of connecting people with things. I offered the woman a cupboard we had as well; her friends just needed to see if there was a place and/or a need for it in their friend’s new home.
I was so excited to meet those loving people who were obviously willing to help their friend. It was clear how protective they felt of this woman and her boy, how much they love her and wanted her to have a happy and safe life, and to spend even a few minutes with people like that is an experience I’ll remember for a long, long time.
A quick thank-you to all who have sent more donations over the last couple of days, as well as lovely messages of thanks and blessings. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with it all, but it’s a problem I’m happy to have.
24. What were the people who arrived at the author’s in the afternoon going to do?

Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with it all, but it’s a problem I’m happy to have.(向所有在过去几天里捐了更多钱的人表示快速的感谢,以及表达感谢和祝福的可爱信息。有时很难跟上,但这是一个我很高兴的问题。)可知,从最后两段,我们可以推断,在人们的帮助下,珍妮和她的儿子将有一个新的开始。故选D。

Dr. John Wilkins was a natural philosopher who lived from 1614 until 1672. He was crazy about getting to the moon and meeting the people who surely lived there. Wilkins believed that anything as Earth-like as the moon must have been created by God for living beings, and he was determined to meet them — despite the fact that he was three centuries ahead of his time.
In the 1600s, the scientific understanding of gravity and outer space was limited. Wilkins believed, like many 17th-century scientists, that there was no difference between the atmosphere of Earth and the conditions in space, and that Earth’s pull was due to magnetism (磁力). It was only reasonable, then, that Wilkins believed a two-wheeled horse-drawn battle car with wings with enough speed could lift high enough off the ground to break free of Earth’s magnetic pull and reach the moon.
Then Wilkins moved on to more pressing issues with his remarkable ability to think of new ideas: How would travelers feed themselves during the journey? He theorized that the main cause of hunger was simply the act of working against gravity, so getting to the moon without being burdened by it would be able to be realized. There was some knowledge at that time about the fact that air gets thinner and colder the higher up you go, but he had a fix for that too, “moistened sponges (湿润的海绵) might help us against its thinness”.
By studying the way in which birds fly, which also happened to be part of the studies that led to planes and rockets centuries later, Wilkins put his theory to the test with the help of a colleague, Robert Hooke. Neither of the two ever recorded their attempts, but it’s somewhat safe to say that it didn’t work out. Hooke himself may have been the reason he gave up hope, in fact, since he was part of the team that discovered space was a place without oxygen.
28. What do we know about Dr. John Wilkins?
A. He dreamed of landing on the moon.
B. He wrote about people living on the moon.
C. He urged the public to know more about space.
D. He had a rich knowledge of space in the 1670s.
29. Which of the following might Wilkins agree with?
A. The air on the moon is not fit for human beings.
B. People don’t need to eat things on the moon.
C. Earth’s magnetism can be changed easily.
D. Oxygen doesn’t exist in outer space.
30. What can be concluded from Paragraphs 2 & 3?
A. Wilkins had prepared a lot in theory.
B. Wilkins was ready for his moon-landing.
C. Wilkins made a great contribution to philosophy.
D. Wilkins was the greatest natural philosopher in history.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To honor a great scientist.
B. To encourage studies on outer space.
C. To introduce an early attempt of moon-landing.
D. To inform people of the knowledge about the universe.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。约翰·威尔金斯博士是一位自然哲学家,他疯狂地想要登上月球,并见到肯定住在那里的人,并为此在理论上做了很多准备。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中Dr. John Wilkins was a natural philosopher who lived from 1614 until 1672. He was crazy about getting to the moon and meeting the people who surely lived there.(约翰·威尔金斯博士是一位自然哲学家,生于1614年,卒于1672年。他疯狂地想要登上月球,并见到肯定住在那里的人。)可知,Dr. John Wilkins梦想着登上月球。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中He theorized that the main cause of hunger was simply the act of working against gravity, so getting to the moon without being burdened by it would be able to be realized.(他的理论是,饥饿的主要原因仅仅是与重力相反的行为,所以不受重力的影响而登上月球是可以实现的。)可知,Wilkins同意人们不需要在月球上吃东西。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二、三段中In the 1600s, the scientific understanding of gravity and outer space was limited. Wilkins believed, like many 17th-century scientists, that there was no difference between the atmosphere of Earth and the conditions in space, and that Earth’s pull was due to magnetism (磁力).(在17世纪,对重力和外层空间的科学理解是有限的。威尔金斯和许多17世纪的科学家一样,认为地球的大气层和太空环境没有区别,地球的引力是由磁力引起的。)和Then Wilkins moved on to more pressing issues with his remarkable ability to think of new ideas: How would travelers feed themselves during the journey?(然后,威尔金斯以其非凡的创新思维能力,转向更紧迫的问题:旅行者在旅途中如何养活自己?)可推知,威尔金斯在理论上做了很多准备。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中He was crazy about getting to the moon and meeting the people who surely lived there. Wilkins believed that anything as Earth-like as the moon must have been created by God for living beings, and he was determined to meet them — despite the fact that he was three centuries ahead of his time.(他疯狂地想要登上月球,并见到肯定住在那里的人。威尔金斯相信,任何像地球一样的东西,如月亮,一定是上帝为众生所创造的,他决心与他们相遇——尽管他比他的时代早了三个世纪。)可知,作者的目的是介绍早期的登月尝试。故选C。
D
Breathing dirty air comes at a high price. Air pollution lowers the average life spans (寿命) by a year worldwide and in more polluted parts of Asia and Africa, dirty air shortens lives up to twice that much. Scientists shared their new findings in Environmental Science & Technology Letters. The study used data gathered in 2016 as part of a project known as the Global Burden of Disease and was the first major country-by-country look at the connection between the length of life and what’s known as fine PM.
Air pollution has been linked to many health problems. Most earlier studies had looked at how tiny air pollutants affected rates of illness or death. Joshua Apte is an environmental scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. By looking at life expectancy (预期寿命), his team had hoped to make the threat easier to understand. PM2.5 is what scientists call tiny particles (颗粒) of pollution in the air. Higher levels of PM2.5 can cause health problems and cut months, if not years, from the average length of life. This analysis shows how pollution affects life expectancy in different parts of the world.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air. Apte’s group calculated how holding pollution to this low level would help people. In countries with very dirty air, meeting this standard would lengthen people’s lives. However, in countries whose air already meets this standard, the study shows no gain in life expectancy. In other words, meeting the WHO standard won’t reduce health costs resulting from dirty air because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter, pollution still causes serious risks. Meanwhile, the scientists compared how other threats including smoking and cancer shorten the length of life across the globe.
32. What is special about the study?
A. It won recognition from a professional journal.
B It discussed health problems caused by air pollution.
C. It gathered lots of data for the Global Burden of Disease.
D. It analyzed the link between life spans and PM by country.
33. What is Joshua Apte’s team trying to do?
A. Help people better understand air pollution.
B. Study life expectancy in different countries.
C. Know how small air pollutants affect health.
D. Deal with different kinds of health problems.
34. What will happen if a country limits PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air?
A. People’s life spans will surely increase. B. It will get strong support from the WHO.
C. People’s health may not be much improved. D. It will guarantee people clean air.
35. What might be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A. How cleaning up the air can lengthen lives.
B. How air pollution shortens lives by country.
C. How other threats shorten life expectancy.
D. How all the countries deal with severe pollution.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. C
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。在全球范围内,空气污染使人的平均寿命降低了一年,而在污染更严重的亚洲和非洲地区,空气污染使人的寿命缩短了两倍之多。科学家们在《环境科学与技术快报》上分享了他们的新发现。该研究分析了不同国家居民的寿命与PM之间的关系。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中The study used data gathered in 2016 as part of a project known as the Global Burden of Disease and was the first major country-by-country look at the connection between the length of life and what’s known as fine PM.(该研究使用了2016年作为一个名为“全球疾病负担”(Global Burden of Disease)项目的一部分收集的数据,这是首个主要的逐国研究寿命长短与“细颗粒物”(fine PM)之间关系的国家。)可知,研究的特殊之处是该研究分析了不同国家居民的寿命与PM之间的关系。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Joshua Apte is an environmental scientist at the University of Texas at Austin. By looking at life expectancy (预期寿命), his team had hoped to make the threat easier to understand.(约书亚·阿普特(Joshua Apte)是德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的环境科学家。通过观察预期寿命,他的团队希望能让这种威胁更容易理解。)可知,Joshua Apte的团队帮助人们更好地了解空气污染。故选A。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting PM2.5 to 10 micrograms per cubic meter of air.(世界卫生组织(WHO)建议将PM2.5浓度限制在每立方米10微克以内。)和In other words, meeting the WHO standard won’t reduce health costs resulting from dirty air because even below 10 micrograms per cubic meter, pollution still causes serious risks.(换句话说,达到世界卫生组织的标准并不能降低空气污染造成的健康成本,因为即使低于每立方米10微克,污染仍然会造成严重的风险。)可知,如果一个国家将PM2.5浓度限制在每立方米10微克,人们的健康状况可能不会有太大改善。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Meanwhile, the scientists compared how other threats including smoking and cancer shorten the length of life across the globe.(与此同时,科学家们比较了包括吸烟和癌症在内的其他威胁是如何缩短全球寿命的。)由此推知,接下来要讨论的是“其他威胁如何缩短预期寿命。”故选C。

本文是一篇议论文。作者论述的是“什么大学最适合你?”
【61题详解】
考查一般疑问句。句意:你正在考虑的大学是否提供你感兴趣的课程和学习机会?句子用一般现在时态,句子主语是the college,单数第三人称,且是一般疑问句,故答案为Does。
【62题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:你正在考虑的大学是否提供你感兴趣的课程和学习机会?此处opportunities是先行词,指物,在后面的定语从句中作主语,故答案为that/which。
【63题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:在大学三年级之前,你不需要申报大学专业,但如果你对自己的选择感到兴奋并投入其中,你更有可能成功。固定搭配:be likely to do sth.“很可能做某事”。故答案为to succeed。
【64题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:考虑你的学习风格:你更喜欢知识性强的讲座还是生动活泼的讨论?此处learning style“学习风格”是名词,由形容词性物主代词来修饰,故答案为your。
【65题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:寻找你需要的学术经验,让你感到挑战和投入。此处表示“感到……”,用过去分词作表语,故答案为challenged。
【66题详解】
考查形容词。句意:成功所需要的支持——同侪辅导、易接近的教授和职业服务,这些只是你在校园里可能找到的一些选择。此处是形容词修饰名词,故答案为accessible。
【67题详解】

【69题详解】
考查动名词作主语。句意:评估你的入学机会是一个很好的确定一个强的学术匹配的方法。此处是动名词作主语,故答案为Assessing。
【70题详解】
考查with的复合结构。句意:大多数招生顾问告诉我们,你的GPA和高中课程的质量是你申请大学最重要的因素,标准化考试的分数也紧随其后。此处是with的复合结构作伴随状语,故答案为with。
【点睛】分析定语从句关键抓住两点:第一、找准先行词;第二、看先行词在定语从句中所作的成分。先行词往往为名词或代词,如本题第2小题中先行词为名词opportunities,再分析先行词opportunities在定语从句中所作的成分,将先行词opportunities代入从句中可知,只能作主语,故确定关系词为that/which。

4.考查强调句式。句意:正是她的毅力和决心使她最终得到了应得的东西。此处是强调句式,不管被强调部分是单数还是复数,是时间、地点还是原因,强调句型中的be动词一律采用单数形式,句子用一般过去时态,故把were改成was。

【点睛】强调句型
1. 用It is/wasthat/who句型表示强调。
(1)陈述句的强调句型:It is/was+被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+that/who(当强调主语且主语指人)+其它部分。 e.g. It was yesterday that he met Li Ping.
(2)一般疑问句的强调句型:同上,只是把is/was提到it前面。 e.g. Was it yesterday that he met Li Ping?
(3)特殊疑问句的强调句型:被强调部分(通常是疑问代词或疑问副词)+is/was+it+that/who+其它部分?e.g. When and where was it that you were born?
注:被强调的部分(通常是句子的主语、状语、宾语或宾语补足语)放在is/was的后面,如被强调的是人,则后面可用who,whom等代替。
2. notuntil句型的强调句:
句型为:It is/was not until+被强调部分+that+其它部分:
e.g. 普通句:He didn't go to bed until/till his wife came back.
强调句:It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.
3. 强调谓语动词:用助动词do, does或did加动词原形来强调谓语动词。注意:此种强调只用do/does和did,没有别的形式;过去时态用did,后面的谓语动词用原形。如:Do come early. 务必早来。He did send you a letter last week. 昨天他确实寄给你一封信。
