题目解答
答案
【导语】本文建议我们通过广泛阅读来防止头脑的饥荒。
句意:就像你的胃一样,你的大脑也会饥饿。
mouth嘴;eyes眼睛;stomach胃,肚子;head头。根据"…your mind can also become hungry."可知,大脑像肚子一样会饥饿。故选C。
句意:但它永远不会让你知道这一点,因为你总是忙于想着你的朋友或最喜欢的明星。
sometimes有时;usually通常;always总是;never从不。根据"your mind can also become hungry.But…"可知,此处是转折关系,大脑会饥饿,但从不让你知道。故选D。
句意:但它永远不会让你知道这一点,因为你总是忙于想着你的朋友或最喜欢的明星。
thinking思考,想;talking谈话;worrying担心;hearing听见。根据"…about your friends or favorite stars."可知,头脑里想着你的朋友或最喜欢的明星。故选A。
句意:当大脑失去了成长的自由,创造力就会停止。
loses失去;finds发现;gets 得到;likes喜欢。根据"creativity will be killed"可知,创造力停止应是因为大脑停止成长,loses符合语境。故选A。
句意:这可能就是为什么我们有时会想"接下来会发生什么?"或者"为什么我不能思考了?"
that指人或物,作主语、宾语;why指原因,作状语;which指物,作主语、宾语;when指时间,作状语。句子是定语从句,先行词是reason,从句结构完整,关系词用why。故选B。
句意:思想的饥饿感可以通过广泛阅读轻松解决。
belief信念;freedom自由;difficulty困难;hunger饥饿。根据" your mind busily tries its best to explain the book's meanings to you. "和"So everybody,do give food to your thoughts by reading."可知,广泛阅读解决的是思想的饥饿感。故选D。
句意:一旦你开始阅读一本书,你的眼睛开始浏览字里行间,你的大脑就会忙着尽力向你解释这本书的含义。
look through浏览;look up查看;look after照顾;look for寻找。根据"Once you start reading a book and your eyes begin…the lines"可知,读书的时候浏览字里行间。故选A。
句意:书中有趣的部分像种子一样储存在你的脑海里。
grown生长;stored储存;broken 破坏;prepared准备。根据"Now this seed grows,unknowingly,to develop its own new ideas"可知,后文讲到了种子的生长,所以空处是介绍像种子一样储存在大脑里。故选B。
句意:此外,广泛阅读可以增加你的词汇量。
However然而;Besides此外;Instead相反;Anyway无论如何。根据"…reading widely can work to increase your vocabulary."可知,这是阅读的另一个好处,空处用"此外"。故选B。
句意:在你开始广泛阅读后的几周,你会惊讶地发现你的写作能力有了很大的提高。
worried担心的;interested感兴趣的;bored无聊的;surprised惊讶的。根据"…to find that your writing skills improve greatly."可知,阅读能让你的写作技能在短时间内进步,你会感到惊讶。故选D。
解析
考查要点:本题主要考查学生对语篇整体理解、上下文逻辑推理以及词汇在具体语境中的运用能力。文章通过类比“身体饥饿”与“思维饥饿”,强调广泛阅读对提升思维能力和写作技巧的重要性。
解题核心思路:
- 联系上下文:根据前后文逻辑关系,判断空缺处所需词义。
- 词义辨析:结合选项词义,排除干扰项,选择最符合语境的单词。
- 逻辑关系:注意文章中因果、转折、递进等逻辑关系词的提示作用。
破题关键点:
- 类比思维:将“身体饥饿”与“思维饥饿”对比,理解大脑需要“精神食粮”。
- 阅读作用:明确阅读如何解决“思维饥饿”(如扩大词汇量、激发创造力)。
(1)C
关键逻辑:文章开篇通过类比“身体饥饿”引出“思维饥饿”,stomach(胃)是身体饥饿的直接体现,与后文“mind can also become hungry”形成对应。
(2)D
关键逻辑:前文提到“mind can also become hungry”,但后文指出“you keep it busy about friends”,说明大脑从不(never)主动提醒我们它需要“精神食粮”。
(3)A
关键逻辑:短语“keep it busy”后接动名词,表示“让大脑一直思考(thinking)”。其他选项(talking/worrying/hearing)与语境不符。
(4)A
关键逻辑:后文“creativity will be killed”说明大脑失去(loses)了“自由成长”的机会,导致创造力停滞。
(5)B
关键逻辑:句型“the reason why”表示“……的原因”,why引导定语从句,符合语法要求。
(6)D
关键逻辑:前文提到“mind can become hungry”,此处强调“思想的饥饿(hunger)”可通过阅读解决,与标题“food to your thoughts”呼应。
(7)A
关键逻辑:短语“look through”意为“浏览”,符合“reading a book”的语境。其他选项(look up/after/for)与动作不符。
(8)B
关键逻辑:后文“this seed grows”暗示书中的内容像种子被储存(stored)在大脑中,为后续思考提供养分。
(9)B
关键逻辑:前文讲阅读解释书义,后文讲扩大词汇量,两者是递进关系,故用Besides(此外)。
(10)D
关键逻辑:阅读后写作能力“greatly improve”是意料之外的结果,故用surprised(惊讶)。
