语 篇 助 解 释 疑
[原文呈现] Living in a Community
Drummer① Hits the Road②
Ma Ming,drummer for the rock band “Storm”,had to pack③ his bags.He moved out of④ his rented flat after complaints⑤ from his neighbours about disturbing the peace.
Being single,Ma Ming often held parties at night,but the biggest problem was his tendency to⑥ drum⑦ late at night.[1] Ma Ming’s neighbours said they were being driven mad being exposed to such noise.[2] The flat-owner said if he had known that Ma Ming was a drummer,he wouldn’t have rented the flat to him.The neighbours quickly realised they were in trouble when he moved in.And from then on⑧,they rarely⑨ got a full night’s sleep.They couldn’t relax or read a book without plugging⑩ their ears.One neighbour also claimed that Ma Ming had a bad influence on his teenage son.
[1]句中but连接两个并列分句,其中Being single为现在分词短语作前一个分句的状语。
[2]said后为省略了that的宾语从句,在宾语从句中,谓语为过去进行时的被动语态,being exposed to such noise为现在分词的被动式作状语。
In the end,the community council took action.“We took a vote ,and came to a resolution .We gave Ma Ming a warning .We told him that he ought to cease drumming or leave the property ,” a council member said.“Getting enough sleep is important for people’s health and,after such a chorus of complaints,we had to take action.”
Ma Ming’s departure has pleased his neighbours.“Life will go back to normal now,” they said.
For Ma Ming’s version of the story,we found him in a hotel in Shanghai.Ma Ming felt that they were prejudiced against him .He’s bitter over the fact that people thought of his music as “noise”.[3] Otherwise he didn’t really mind having to leave the flat.“Living in a hotel means the hotel staff makes the bed every day and I don’t have to do my own washing! Anyhow ,I’m now looking for a remote house on the edge of the city.”
[3]句中that引导同位语从句。
Grandpa Arrested After One Shower Too Many
Eighty-year-old retired tailor ,James McKay,spent Saturday night in a cell after hitting 30-year-old Keith Smith over the head with his walking stick.McKay’s wife,Laurene said that,while McKay is usually a peaceful and pleasant person,he had been driven to this act of violence by literally getting wet just once too often.He could no longer tolerate it.
Smith lives above the McKays.He is a keen gardener,and also a fish collector.Unfortunately,the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKays’ floor,or too often,on the unsuspecting McKays themselves.[4]
[4]此句为主从复合句,含有一个省略了that或which的定语从句he sent over his balcony every day,先行词为the water。
“For the last two weeks,since Smith moved into the flat above us,we dared not go onto our balcony,” said Laurene.She added that it wasn’t only the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plants that bothered them,but also the way he cleaned his fish tanks .“We’d be sitting there happily reading our newspapers,when suddenly so much water would come from above that we’d be as wet as if we had showered with our clothes on![5] We could hardly get rid of the smell of fish!”
[5]此句含有(would) be doing...when...结构;with our clothes on是with复合结构。
And on Saturday evening it was just too much.“It was James’ birthday,” Laurene recalled ,“and it was such a beautiful night to enjoy the starry night outside.I made him a birthday cake.The candles were a great sight as you can imagine[6],but James didn’t get to blow them out .” Instead,Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet through .“I have never seen him move so fast and I couldn’t stop him.He was up there in a flash .”
[6]句中as引导定语从句,位置灵活,可放在句首、句中或句末;as指代主句内容,在从句中作主语或宾语,一般译为“正如……”。
Smith is not going to take things further with the police.He has also promised to change his ways from now on.And what of James McKay As he left the police station,a large crowd of supporters sang him “Happy Birthday”.“Definitely the most exciting birthday ever!” said the cheerful old man.“The best since my youth,I’d say!”

[译文参考] 社区生活
鼓手走人
摇滚乐队“暴风雨”的鼓手马明不得不收拾行李。他搬出了租用的公寓,因为邻居们投诉他扰乱(社区的)宁静。
马明是个单身汉,经常在晚上开派对,但最大的问题是他常常打鼓到深夜。马明的邻居们说他们都快被这样的噪声逼疯了。房东说他如果知道马明是个鼓手,就不会把房子租给他。他一搬进来,邻居们很快意识到麻烦来了。从那以后,他们很少能安安稳稳地睡一整晚。如果不堵住耳朵,他们就不能放松或看书。有个邻居还说,马明对他十几岁的儿子造成了不良影响。
最后,居委会采取了行动。一位居委会成员说:“我们投票表决,达成了一项决议。我们给了马明一个警告。我们告诉他应该停止打鼓,否则就搬走。充足的睡眠对人们的健康很重要,收到这样的集体投诉,我们不得不采取行动。”
马明的离开使他的邻居都很高兴。“生活现在要恢复正常了,”他们说。
我们在上海的一家酒店里找到了马明,想听听他对这个事件的看法。马明觉得他们(邻居)对自己有偏见,认为他的音乐是“噪声”,这是他的伤心之处。不过他并不介意离开公寓。“住在旅馆里就意味着每天有服务员整理床铺,我也不必自己洗衣服!不过,我现在正在城郊找位置稍微偏僻一点的房子。”
洗了太多“澡”而被捕的爷爷
80岁的退休裁缝詹姆斯·迈奇,周六的晚上是在监狱里度过的,因为用拐杖打了30岁的基思·史密斯的头。迈奇的妻子劳瑞恩说,他平时是个平和、和蔼可亲的人,是因为再三被淋湿,才会做出这种暴力的行为。他实在是忍无可忍了。
史密斯住在迈奇家楼上。他热爱园艺,也喜欢养鱼。但不幸的是,他每天在阳台上浇的水最后都落到迈奇家的地板上,也经常洒在毫无防备的迈奇夫妇身上。
劳瑞恩说:“过去两周,自从史密斯搬到我们楼上,我们都不敢去阳台了。”她还说,困扰他们的不仅是史密斯给植物浇水时洒到阳台上的水,还有他清理鱼缸的方式。“我们本来坐在那里开心地看报纸,突然间很多水从天而降,把我们都给浇湿了,就像穿着衣服洗了个澡一样!我们很难去掉(身上的)鱼腥味!”
这周六晚上实在是忍无可忍了。劳瑞恩回忆道:“那天是詹姆斯的生日,是个特别美丽的夜晚,可以坐在外面享受夜晚的星空。我给他做了个生日蛋糕,你可以想象点上蜡烛有多么漂亮,可詹姆斯却没能把蜡烛吹灭。”然而,史密斯从阳台上倒掉他的一个大鱼缸中的水,将迈奇夫妇和蛋糕都淋了个通透。“我从没见过他动作那么快,根本没办法阻止,他一下子就冲到楼上去了。”
史密斯不会让警方进一步追究这件事。他还承诺从现在开始改变他的方式。而詹姆斯·迈奇呢 他离开警察局时,一大群支持者为他唱起了《生日快乐》歌。“这绝对是最激动人心的一次生日啦!”老人快乐地说道。“我得说,这是自打年轻以来最棒的一次生日!”

For several months,Cara has been working up the courage to approach her mom about what she saw on social media.Not long ago,the 11-year-old girl,like all the other kids in this story,discovered that her mom had been posting her photos for much of her life.“I’ve wanted to bring it up.It’s strange to see myself up there,and sometimes there are pictures I don’t like of myself,”she said.
Like most other modern kids,Cara grew up immersed(沉迷……之中) in social media.While many kids may not yet have accounts themselves,their parents,schools,sports teams,and organizations have been organizing an online presence for them since birth.The shock of realizing that details about your life have been shared online without your permission or knowledge has become an important experience in the lives of many teenagers.Recently a parenting blogger (博主) wrote in a Washington Post essay (散文) that despite (不顾) her 14-year-old
daughter’s horror at discovering that her mother had shared years of highly personal stories and information about her online,she simply could not stop posting on her blog and social media.The writer said that promising her daughter that she would stop posting her publicly on the Internet would mean shutting down a vital part of herself,which isn’t necessarily good for herself or her daughter.
But it’s not just crazy mommy bloggers who construct a child’s online identity;plenty of average parents do the same.There’s even a special word for it:sharenting.Almost a quarter of children begin their digital lives when parents upload their photos to the Internet,according to a study conducted by the Internet-security firm AVG.The study also found that 92 percent of kids under the age of 2 already have their own unique digital identity.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一些父母热衷于在互联网上发布自己孩子的照片以及文章,而孩子们并不喜欢这样,这让孩子们感到很烦恼。

Climate change could lead to a net expansion of global forests.But will a more forested world actually be cooler
These are strange times for the Indigenous Nenets reindeer herders (牧人) of northern Siberia.In their lands on the shores of the Arctic Ocean,bare tundra (冻原) is melting,bushes are sprouting,and willows that a generation ago struggled to reach knee height now grow 3 meters tall,hiding the reindeer.Surveys show the Nenets autonomous district,an area the size of Florida,now has four times as many trees as official inventories recorded in the 1980s.
All around the Arctic Circle,trees are invading as the climate warms.In Norway,birch and pine are marching poleward,outshining the tundra.In Alaska,spruce are taking over from moss and lichen.Globally,recent research indicates forests are expanding along two-thirds of Earth’s 12,000-kilometer-long northern tree line—the point where forests give way to tundra—while becoming smaller along just 1%.Forest gains are not limited to the far north.At lower latitudes,some warmer,dry regions are also seeing a slight increase in
trees,in part because increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2)—the main planet-warming gas—are enabling plants to use water more efficiently and thrive in drier soils.And the fertilizing effects of CO2 are enabling existing forests to add more leaves and wood,increasing their biomass.It’s a surprisingly different picture from what is unfolding in the tropics,where hundreds of thousands of hectares of forest are lost each year to chainsaws (电锯) and fire,and climate change is stressing the remaining trees.
But the effects of those tropical losses could be reduced by gains elsewhere,some studies predict,leading in the coming decades to a world with more and faster growing trees.That might seem like surprisingly good news for curbing global warming.Forests often have a cooling effect,releasing organic compounds and water vapor that promote the formation of clouds.And more,faster growing trees would absorb more atmospheric carbon and lock it away in wood.But the calculus of forests’ climate effects is far from straightforward,and
emerging research suggests a more forested world won’t necessarily be a cooler world.New forests could enhance warming in some areas,for example,by reducing the amount of sunlight that is reflected into space.Over time,that could offset any gains in carbon absorption.
“Forests are not just carbon sponges,” says environmental scientist Deborah Lawrence of the University of Virginia.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了气候变化可能导致全球森林净扩张,北极圈及低纬度部分地区树木增多,但森林对气候影响复杂,更多森林不一定意味着更凉爽。
5.What may be the impact of climate change according to the passage
A.An increase in tundra area.
B.A sharp decrease in bushes.
C.An expansion of global forests.
D.A decline in reindeer population.
解析　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Climate change could lead to a net expansion of global forests.”可知,气候变化的影响是全球森林面积的扩大,故选C项。
√
6.What is the main reason for the increase in forest growth in warmer and dry regions

解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中“At lower latitudes,some warmer...and thrive in drier soils.”可知,在更温暖的干燥地区,森林扩张的主要原因是二氧化碳的影响,故选B项。
√
7.What does the underlined word “curbing” in paragraph 4 mean
A.Holding back. B.Setting off.
C.Taking out. D.Picking up.
解析　词义猜测题。画线词的下文“Forests often have a cooling effect...it away in wood.”介绍了森林的降温作用,以及对吸收大气中的碳的用处,由此可知,树木数量的增加对于“遏制”全球变暖似乎是个好消息,画线词的意思是“遏制,抑制”,与Holding back “阻止,抑制”意思一致,故选A项。
√
8.What is the best title for the passage
A.The Close Connection:Climate Change and Forest Expansion
B.The Unexpected Impacts:Climate Change on Forest Expansion
C.A More Forested World:The Solution to Global Warming
D.Global Warming:a Trend toward Warmer Conditions
解析　标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Climate change could lead to a net expansion of global forests.”可知,文章主要讨论了气候变化对森林扩张的影响,并指出森林扩张并不一定会导致全球变冷,反而可能在某些地区加剧变暖。因此,B项突出了气候变化的意外影响,最契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题,故选B项。

Smart watches have exploded in popularity in recent years and companies have been marketing these devices less as luxury products and more as essential medical devices,necessities for anyone concerned about health.But do smart watches,which constantly monitor our vital signs,really lead us to better health One recent study found that people trying to lose weight who used wearable technology to help actually lost less weight than those watch-free people.I also worry that smart watches can disturb our ability to know our own bodies.
“It’s an extension of our digital culture,” said coach Brad Stulberg.“Our culture promotes the limiting belief that measurable achievement is the dominant arbiter (仲裁者) of success,and these devices play right into that,” he told me.“It’s like you’re trying to win at a game instead of living your life.Instead of learning what your body feels like,you have a number.”
What he said was true of me.Sometimes I would wake up in the morning and check my smart watch to see how I slept—instead of just taking a moment to notice that I was still tired.I started to feel that my health wasn’t grounded in my own body anymore,or even in my mind.I didn’t know how my workout had gone until I opened the watch.I had been using the numbers it offered as a shortcut to feeling good enough in general.
Of course these watches can be useful:for health data,reminding you to move more.But if you’re thinking of a break from the numbers,I propose a challenge for the year ahead:try getting your feedback from your body instead of a device.
That’s what I did.At some point in the pandemic (疫病),I took off my watch.It left a white line on my wrist where it had spent years blocking the sun.Then I lost it and never bothered to find it.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了智能手表在健康监测方面的作用及其可能带来的问题,作者通过个人经历和观察,对智能手表的普及及其对人体健康感知的影响进行了分析和反思,并提出了挑战和建议。
9.What do companies prefer to advertise their smart watches as
A.Must-have items. B.High-end products.
C.Life-saving devices. D.Cutting-edge monitors.
解析　细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Smart watches have exploded...for anyone concerned about health.”可知,公司在营销这些设备时,不再过多将其作为奢侈品,而是更多地作为任何关注健康的人必备的医疗设备,故选A项。
√
10.What does Brad Stulberg probably think of smart watches
A.They can monitor our vital signs.
B.They disconnect us from our bodies.
C.They represent the great digital culture.
D.They can measure the success of a workout.
解析　细节理解题。根据文章第二段Brad Stulberg说的话“It’s like you’re trying...you have a number.”可知,他认为使用智能手表就像在玩游戏而不是在生活,人们不再去了解自己身体的感受,取而代之的是一个数字。也就是说他认为智能手表切断了我们与自身身体感受的联系,故选B项。
√
11.Why didn’t the author look for his smart watch
A.Because he didn’t feel himself.
B.Because the pandemic stopped him.
C.Because he wanted less reliance on it.
D.Because there was no hope of finding it.
解析　推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Sometimes I would wake up...until I opened the watch.”可知,作者意识到自己过度依赖智能手表数据,影响了自己对身体的感知。再根据第四段“But if you’re thinking of...your body instead of a device.”可推测,作者摘下手表并弄丢后不再寻找,正是因为他想要减少对智能手表的依赖,故选C项。
√
12.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A.To advertise wearable smart watches.
B.To report the findings of a recent study.
C.To suggest a break from smart devices.
D.To discuss limitations of digital culture.
解析　写作目的题。根据文章内容可知,文章开篇提出智能手表是否真能带来健康的疑问,接着通过研究、他人观点及自身经历阐述智能手表存在的问题,如干扰对自身身体的感知等。然后文章第四段“But if you’re thinking...instead of a device.”则明确建议人们摆脱智能设备的数据,从身体自身获取反馈,故选C项。

Your personality includes your individual differences from other people in how you think,feel,and behave.Improving your personality can help be your best version of yourself.
__1__ The first and most simple step you can take to improve your personality is to give everyone a warm greeting.People will perceive you as friendly and kind if you smile when you see them.Flash your pearly whites and shake their hands or hug them.
Read something every day.Another component of improving your personality is expanding your knowledge.Keep up with the current news by reading a few articles on your phone or open a novel and read a chapter or two.__2___
Develop opinions on important issues.From your readings,begin to form your own opinions about the current events of today.You might find that others will be debating the issue around you soon.__3__ However,make sure you articulate your points with grace and logic.
Be a good listener.__4__ Really concentrate on what they’re saying,rather than waiting until they’ve finished.Besides,try to repeat back what they’ve said to you every few minutes so you can show that you hear them.
Offer a helping hand to those in need.Always look for little opportunities to help others.See someone struggling to get a book off a high shelf __5__ Or perhaps you’re on a bus and a woman with a cane enters.Offer her your seat! Personality is created in part by all of the kindness you show to others,so get started today!
A.Step in if you can.
B.Greet everyone with a smile.
C.Make use of the power of stare.
D.You want to have something to state.
E.Spend time each week connecting with them.
F.This will help give you things to discuss with others.
G.When others are speaking,listen to understand them.
