【解析】
试题分析:文章大意:作者通过亲身经历说明了善有善报的道理。
1.】B考查动词词义辨析。此处A. imagine 想象;B. practice践行、做;C. devote奉献;D. dream梦想。我们可能做这些无意的善意行动。选B。
2.】D考查动词短语辨析。A. work out 解出;B. figure out想出;C. make out理解,辨明;D. find out发现。通过下文提示,作者通过亲身经历“发现”了这一点。
3.】A考查连词的用法。A. when 当……的时候;B. why 为什么;C. whether 是否;D. that结果。连词when表示“当时、那个时候”。我旅行回来,这时我去加油并在加油站吃了快餐。
4.】B考查形容词词义辨析。A. clever聪明的;B. tired 劳累的;C. lazy 懒惰的;D. poor穷的。通过上下文提示,作者开了很长时间的车,应该是很“疲劳”。
5.】A考查形容词词义辨析。A. down低落;B. well 健康的;C. upset 难过的;D. disappointed失望的。作者在与checker聊天前,既疲惫,又背部疼痛,感觉情绪“低落”。feel down表示这一含义。
6.】A 考查动词词义辨析。A. driving 驾驶;B. running跑;C. swimming 游泳;D. walking步行。从空前的refuel(加油)可知作者是开车的。
7.】D 考查副词词义辨析。A. outside在外面;B. away离开;C. off 远离;D. inside在里面。在加油站吃零食,当然是“走进”。
8.】D 考查动词词义辨析。A. believed相信;B. explained解释;C. shouted大喊;D. chatted聊天。作者与checker“聊天”聊了一会。
9.】A 考查副词词义辨析。A. exactly准确地;B. surprisingly吃惊地;C. carelessly粗心地;D. unluckily不幸地。我不能“准确地”记得我们聊了哪些事情。
10.】B考查名词词义辨析。 A.interest兴趣;B.kindess友善;C.shame 羞耻;D.pity遗憾。 46空后的kindness是提示。
11.】B 考查形容词词义辨析。A.hungry饥饿的;B.refreshed精神振作的;C.crazy疯狂的;D.angry气氛的。从作者前后情绪的变化可知,在聊天之后作者“精神振奋”了。
12.】A考查动词短语辨析。A.came across偶然发现;B.dropped off落下;C.called on号召;D.looked for寻找。在收拾钱包是“偶然发现”了收据。
13.】B 考查名词词义辨析。A.feelings感觉;B.warmth温暖;C.stedngth 长处;D.interests利润。从文中主题词kindness,可以推断这里该用warmth与上下文的逻辑一致。
14.】C考查动词词义辨析。 A.check检查;B.book预定;C.write 写;D.copy抄袭。根据后面的宾语thank-you note,这里只能用write与之搭配。
15.】D 考查动词词义辨析。A.designing设计;B.repairing修理;C.taking 占用;D.brighttening情绪高涨。根据作者前后情绪的变化,这里用brightening能表达作者当时兴奋的心情。
16.】B 考查时间副词的用法。A.ago在……以前;B.later……之后;C.since自从;D.lately最近。根据故事情节的发展,这里应该是一个星期“之后”。
17.】D 考查名词词义辨析。A.operation手术;B.suggestion建议;C.employment雇佣;D.praise表扬。员工做了好事,理应得到老板的赞扬。
18.】C考查形容词词义辨析。 A.successful成功的;B.shocked震惊的;C.satisfied满意的;D.convenient方便的。服务员做了好事,而且得到了应有的回报,作者对这一结果感到“满意”。
19.】A 考查动词词义辨析。A.advised建议;B.forced 强迫;C.suggested建议;D.demanded要求。考查动词的用法与搭配。动词demand和suggest都不能用在后加宾语加不定式做宾补的结构中。而B项forced用词不当。
20.】D 考查连词的用法。A.as当……的时候;B.though虽然;C.so 所以;D.but但是。考查上下文的逻辑关系,前后有转折的关系,所以用but表示。
考点:考查记叙文的完形填空
Until just a few years ago,we doctors believed that the brain stopped making new neural(神经系统的)connections (meaning that your memory began to get worse)when the body stopped developing,usually in your early 20s. And we knew that,like any other body part,neurons weaken as we age. Loss of brain function due to neural breakdown was assumed to be a normal,unavoidable part of aging.
It turns out that we were wrong. In the past few years,it has been discovered that you can,in fact,make new neurons starting in your 20s and continuing well into old age. You can literally rewire the brain with new parts as the older parts wear out. How?Simple:Keep learning. Just as your body can pack on and condition new muscle,your brain can rebuild used-up neurons.
How strong is the evidence for this?Strong enough that a $200 million industry devoted to brain boosting software (products like Brain Age,MindFit,and Lumosity that supposedly improve your memory function)has sprung up out of nowhere. All“mental fitness”means are keeping your memory intact(everything from phone numbers to how to throw a football).So what can you do to stay smart?
Keep blood pressure down. People with high blood pressure are more likely to develop cognitive impairment later in life.
Eat more vitamins. Like E(in nuts and sunflower seeds),B6 and B12(beef,tuna),and folic acid(leafy greens,citrus,berries),which help keep your brain’s chemistry in balance.
Exercise your brain. This is the best way to rebuild and strengthen those precious neurons. Learn to play chess or the guitar. When you’re at a stoplight,try to recall the starting lineup of the 1983 Celtics. See a movie that doesn’t feature Ben Stiller. Or read,like,a book.
