语篇解读:本文讲述一个注重饮食健康、也爱好晨炼的女孩见到一个“老人”,年龄虽大,看起来却很快乐的。通过交谈得知,这位不注重饮食和锻炼的“老人”却只有47岁。
1. B。由时间状语“every morning”及常识可知,她是在每天早饭前进行散步五公里。
2. B。第一段中介绍Alicia健康的生活方式和饮食习惯,所以这一句的意思是“她不吸烟也不喝酒”。
3. C。either用于否定句句末;too用于肯定句句末;also用于肯定句句中。故选C。
4. A。从下文的描述可知,he is a man。
5. B。由上文:他看起来又瘦又弱,并且手一直在晃动,与后文的“happy”形成转折关系。
6. D。on one’s face在某人的脸上,是固定词组。
7. B。look系动词,看起来,old and wise 做系动词look的表语。句意“他看起来年纪很大而且很博学。
8. A。从下文“but what is your secret for being so happy at your age?” 可以判断用secret。
9. B。句意:我希望你不要介意我的提问。mind sb.doing sth.介意某人做某事。stand意为“忍受,站立”; allow 意为“允许”;enjoy意为“享受”,这三项都不符合句意。
10. A。句意:我希望当我在你这个年龄时。when 当……时候,引导时间状语从句;since后面一般跟“过去时间”;“for+时间段”往往用于完成时; though引导让步状语从句。
