Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
Many people experience problems with their spine(脊椎) as they age. The tissue that protects the joints in the spine gradually breaks down. As a consequence, the bones, in the spine begin to rub against each other. This further harms that issue as well as the bones. The result is pain in the joints and, sometimes, in nerves near the spine
This painful problem is actually a disease called osteoporosis. Some people are more at risk of osteoporosis because of genes that they inherited from their ancestors. Extremely heavy people
are also more likely to suffer from this disease because their extra weight puts much pressure on their joints. Fortunately, there are steps that people can take to help prevent osteoporosis from developing in their spine.
The most important step is exercise. Stretches can help the muscles around the spine relax and allow bones to shift into better alignment(排列), Strength exercises with light weights or bodyweight exercises like pushups can also help by strengthening the muscles around the spine. However, people should not overdo these exercises as repeated motions can strain the muscles around the spine. Trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique can have the same effect.
Another important factor is diet. It affects the health of spine because many vitamins are necessary for bones and nerves. These include B vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, all of which helps keep nerves healthy. People can get more B vitamin and omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements sold by stores. Another important factor is vitamin D. which is essential for strong bones. All of these vitamins and acids can be obtained from food. Thus people can help themselves by including them in their daily diets
36. What does this article mainly explain?
A. Various aspects of a medical condition.
B. The actions of viruses that cause illnesses.
C. Drugs often used to solve the physical issue.
D. The location of organs in the human body.
37. How does the writer begin this article?
A. By predicting improvement.
B. By analyzing a series of data.
C. By introducing minor injuries.
D. By describing a gradual process
38. What can readers find in this article?
A. A warning about working out too hard.
B. A method for improving sleep quality.
C. A slogan used to promote health classes.
D. A big criticism often aimed at doctors.
39. What does the article imply about supplement?
A. They are mainly for youngsters.
B. They are commercial products.
C. They are now being researched.
D. They are seldom truly effective
【答案】36. A 37. D 38. A 39. B
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。

讲述了“骨质疏松症”形成过程和导致的原因，以及如何预防的建议。

【36题详解】
主旨大意题。

第一段最后一句“The result is pain in the joints and, sometimes, in nerves near the spine”可知第一段主要讲这种疾病的演化过程；第二段第一句“This painful problem is actuall y a disease called osteoporosis.”给出这种疾病的正式命名，并且说明了两种可能致病的原因；第二段最后一句“there are steps that people can take to help prevent osteoporosis from developing in their spine.”可知第三、四段主要讲两种预防这种疾病的建议。

故文章分别得病过程、致病原因以及如何预防骨质疏松的建议这几个方面来解释这种疾病，故文章主要从不同方面解释一种医学疾病，故选A。

【37题详解】
篇章结构题。

根据第一段第二句“The tissue that protects the joints in the spine gradually breaks down. As a consequence, the bones, in the spine begin to rub against each other. This further harms that issue as well as the bones.”以及后文可知保护脊柱关节的组织逐渐分解。

结果，脊柱里的骨头开始互相摩擦。

这进一步伤害了骨骼和这个问题。

可知作者通过描述一个循序渐进的过程来开始这一篇文章，故选D。

【38题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第三段倒数第一、二句“However, people should not overdo these exercises as repeated motions can strain the muscles around the spine. Trying to lift heavy weights with poor technique can have the same effect.”可知人们不应该过度运动，因为重复的运动会使脊柱周围的肌肉紧张。

尝试用拙劣的技巧举重也会有同样的效果。

即读者可以在文中找到关于过度锻炼的警告，故选A。

【39题详解】
判断推理题。

根据最后一段第四句“People can get more B vitamin and omega 3 fatty acids by taking supplements sold by stores.”可知人们可以通过服用商店出售的补品获得更多的B族维生素和- 3脂肪酸。

补品在商店售出即可知补品是商品，故选B。

(B)
In late March of 2018.a tear in the earth about 15 meters wide and 20 meters deep suddenly appeared in Kenya, it cut across roads and even split houses in two. This crack appeared out of
nowhere after heavy rains and an increase in seismic activity. Some scientists believe that it is further proof that Africa is slowly splitting apart.
Once a very long time ago, Africa and south America were one landmass before they separated. Similarly, one day in the very distant future, a large part of East Africa will split off from the rest of the continent. This will create a new landmarks and a new ocean. The breakup is the result of plate tectonics, the gradual motion of different parts of the Earth's crust.
When plates of the Earth separate and tear away from each other. It is called rifting. The result is rift valley. Scientists don't understand the exact mechanism behind rifting. But the result is very easy to observe in theEast African Rift System(EARS), That's why studying this part of the world is so important.
The East African Rift system begins in the north in Ethiopia, where three plates are moving away from each other. Two of them are continental plates, the African and Arabian plates. They are tectonic plates that have a large landmass above water. The third is the Somali plate, considered a minor plate, which is steadily moving away from the other two. But don't plan on visiting the new ocean anytime soon. The plates are moving at a rate of about 6 millimeters a year. At the speed millions of years will pass before a new ocean is formed.
EARS is not all bad news for Kenya. A rift valley is composed of an area where there is increased volcanic activity and thinned planetary crust. This makes it easier to take advantage of the power of steam. For Kenya, this might be an answer to the country's electrical problems. The drought conditions that frequently occur there make it difficult to produce energy. But the geothermal(地热的) power plants going online in 2019 will allow them to produce clean energy with very little water.
40. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. A war will certainty breakout in Africa.
B. A disaster will suddenly strike Africa.
C. A geological structure will change in Africa.
D. A new country will come into being in Africa
41. Which of the following plates might be surrounded by water according to the passage
A. East Africa.
B. Somali plate.
C. Arabian plate.
D. Africa plate.
42. What problem may be solved in Kenya thanks to the cracking?
A. Poverty.
B. Economy.
C. Drought.
D. Energy.
【答案】40. C 41. B 42. D
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。

2018年3月底。

肯尼亚突然出现了一个约15米宽、20米深的地洞，它横穿道路，甚至将房屋一分为二。

暴雨和地震活动增加后，这条裂缝不知从何而来。

一些科学家认为，这进一步证明非洲正在慢慢分裂。

且分析了这一分裂对非洲带来的影响。

【40题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段最后一句“Some scientists believe that it is further proof that Africa is slowly splitting apar t.”可知一些科学家认为，这进一步证明非洲正在慢慢分裂。

即非洲的地理结构将会变化，故选C。

【41题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段“The third is the Somali plate, considered a minor plate, which is steadily moving away from the other two. But don't plan on visiting the new ocean anytime soon.”可知Somali plate不久就会看到新的海洋，即可知Somali板块可能被水包围，故选C。

【42题详解】
细节理解题。

最后一段第三句“This makes it easier to take advantage of the power of steam. For Kenya, this might be an answer to the country's electrical problems. The drought conditions that frequently occur there make it difficult to produce energy.”可知这次断裂使Kenya更容易利用蒸汽的力量。

对肯尼亚来说，这可能是解决该国电力问题的一个办法。

那里经常发生干旱，使生产能源变得困难。

故因为这次分裂，Kenya的能源问题可能会得到解决，故选D。

(C)
Are you worried about money? If so, I have some good news for you. Someone once said, “If all your problems can be solv ed with money, then you don't have any.” I get the point. Unless you are on the edge of losing everything and living in your car (which is a very sad thing that happens to people every day), your perceptions of your problems may not be serving you well.
Let's take a look. Can you pay your living expenses and support your family? If so you are OK. Even if you are a family that just barely breaks even every month, you have to count that
as a blessing, Most of us also have those terrible, surprising unexpected bills. But unless you you’re your job or your mind, don't you always find a way to take care of those expenses?
PERTINENT(切中要害的) QUESTIONS
To see if you worry too much about finances, ask yourself a couple of questions Do you wake up worried about money? Do you check your bank balance and look at upcoming bills more than once every few days or even multiple times a day? If so, then you may have a little financial insecurity going on. Let's look at getting it under control. If it's making you crazy, it can make your family a little crazy too. This type of anxiousness is passed on to others, which is important to remember whenever you have the urge to share your fears.
TOO MUCH INFORMATION
TMI (too much information) happens because it seems that by releasing Pent-up(压抑的)feelings of anxiety you will feel better and hopefully more supported and that this can happen but not with your loved ones because they will take all your fair and magnify it. Talk instead with your financial advisor, your bank manager or your therapist. Laying your financial fears at the feet of your family is not good for them or for you. Yes, be honest about any problems, but if you get emotional, so will those closest to you
POSITIVE ACTION
It's hard to be this passionate about money, but honestly, it's really the best way to get this issue solved. You have to look at it from a practical standpoint. Go over your debts, look closely at your assets and determine the best thing for you to do with your time right now.
Maybe you need to use this time to get your books and other only your computer or use it to job hunt or to promote your business. Then again you may need to hire an accountant and go on some interviews. The point is simple: the only way to relieve yourself of the uncomfortable feeling of financial pressure is to take some kind of positive action.

【分析】
这是一篇说明文。

作者就当人们面对经济问题时应该采取的态度给出三点建议。

【43题详解】
细节理解题。

倒数第三段最后一句“Yes, be honest about any problems, but if you get emotional, so will those closest to you”可知作者提到不管任何问题，如果你情绪化，那么你身边的人也会情绪化。

即当你遇到经济问题时，你最好冷静下来。

故选B。

【44题详解】
推理判断题。

最后一段最后一句“The point is simple: the only way to relieve yourself of the uncomfortable feeling of financial pressure is to take some kind of positive action.”可知问题很简单:唯一能让你从经济压力中解脱出来的方法就是采取一些积极的行动。

故文章暗示我们应该对经济问题保持积极的态度。

故选C。

【45题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据上文“Talk instead with your financial advisor, your bank manager or your therapist.”（而是与你的财务顾问、银行经理或治疗师交谈。

）与后文中“is not good for them or for you”（对你或对他们都不好）可知作者不建议让家人为经济担忧负责任，故选C。

【46题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据文章内容第第一二段提出人们会有面对经济困难的时刻，以后下文中分别用三段内容PERTINENT(切中要害的) QUESTIONS；TOO MUCH INFORMATION和POSITIVE ACTIOn来提出三点建议，故文章是教我们如何处理经济问题，故选D。

【点睛】主旨大意题
概括主旨大意的方法有：A：寻找主题句，有些段落大意在主题句上。

主题句有的在句首，有的在段中，有的在段尾。

B：寻找关键词，有些段落大意就散落在关键词上。

阅读理解的问题也以如下形式出现：
What is the best title for/of the passage?
如第四小题询问文章的最佳标题，要根据文章的结构，和各段的主题句进行综合分析可知文章内容主要为当我们面对经济问题时提出的三点建议，故选D。

2. What can be inferred from the passage?
3. What does the author mainly tell us about in the text？
4. What is mainly discussed in the article/passage/text?
做答这类问题时，将阅读重点放在首尾部分，中间部分则可采用略读或扫读的方式，一则省时间，二则目标明确，正确率自然也相应提高了。

掌握了找主题句的方法，就可以依据主题句归纳主题。

但归纳主题容易出现以下三种错误，需要同学们注意。

1．以偏概全。

即只抓住了主题的一个侧面就误以为是主题。

2．过于笼统。

即归纳的主题太泛，与细节脱节或是没有对细节加以充分论证。

3．把观点强加给作者。

读者往往根据自己的常识对文章进行判断而忽视了作者的见解。
