题目解答
答案
46 healthy
考察形容词,keep+n+adj。根据句意这里填入的是healthy,“the chances are that at some point you will have heard the exhortation to drink lots of water in order to flush out those evil toxins and keep your skin healthy.”意思是“如果你渴望光滑的皮肤焕发青春,那么很可能在某个时候你会听到这样的告诫:要多喝水,以排出那些邪恶的毒素,保持皮肤健康故答案是healthy。
47 sweat
考察名词,of是介词,后面加名词,sweat 出汗,是一个名词。“US-based advice tends to recommend eight glasses a day, while in hotter climates people are advised to drink more to compensate for higher rates of sweat. ”意思是“美国的建议倾向于建议每天喝八杯,而在更热的气候下,人们被建议多喝水以补偿更高的出汗率。”故答案是sweat。
48 that
考察同位语从句的关系词。在同位语从句中,that只起连接作用,不能省略。在“You might expect there to be countless studies that people are separated into two groups, one assigned to sip water all day, the other to drink a normal amount.“中,”people are separated into two groups, one assigned to sip water all day, the other to drink a normal amount.“是countless studies的同位语从句。
49 consistent
考察形容词。consistent 一致的,代入句子中为”A review in Israel found just one study looking at the effect of long-term water intake on the skin. But the results were consistent. “意思是”以色列的一项综述发现,只有一项研究着眼于长期饮水对皮肤的影响。但结果是一致的。“故答案是consistent。
50 no
根据句意但无论他们喝什么类型的水,这对他们的皱纹或皮肤的光滑度都没有影响。可知这里填入的是no。
解析
本题为阅读填空题,主要考查根据上下文、词性变化及逻辑关系填空的能力。解题核心在于:
- 理解语境:通过上下文判断空缺处所需词义及词性;
- 词性转换:如第46题需填形容词,第47题需填名词;
- 语法结构:如第48题考查同位语从句的连接词;
- 逻辑关系:如第50题需根据否定含义选择“no”。
第46题
考查要点:形容词用法。
解题思路:短语“keep + 名词 + 形容词”中,形容词作宾补。句意为“保持皮肤健康”,故填healthy。
第47题
考查要点:名词形式。
解题思路:“rates of”后需接名词,动词“sweat”转化为名词形式sweat(出汗)。
第48题
考查要点:同位语从句的连接词。
解题思路:从句“people are separated into two groups...”修饰先行词“studies”,需用连接词that引导同位语从句。
第49题
考查要点:形容词用法。
解题思路:句意为“结果是一致的”,需填形容词consistent(一致的)。
第50题
考查要点:否定含义。
解题思路:句意为“无论喝哪种水,对皮肤光滑度都没有影响”,故填no(没有)。
