第三篇是一篇科普类说明文，介绍了风力涡轮发电，这基本切中了当下最受关注的话题——新能源和可持续。体现了时代的潮流，跟B篇谋篇一致，话题新颖信息量足，题目并不难。6\n 63.细节题。根据题干定位到原文第二段倒数第二句。从”Hywind’sstabilityinthecoldandroughseawouldprovethateventhedeepestcornersoftheoceanaresuitableforwindpower”得出答案B为正确。 64.细节题。根据题干定位到原文第三段最后，得出答案C是正确的。 65.推断题。根据文章最后一句，可以推断出这种项目的成功运行将会促进低碳能源的发展，从而得出D选项是正确的。BShayasked,“Doyouthinkthey’llletmeplay?”Shay’sfatherknewthatmostoftheboyswouldnotwantsomeonelikeShayontheirteam,butthefatheralsounderstoodthatifhisson,mentallyandphysicallydisabled,wereallowedtoplay,itwouldgivehimamuch-neededsenseofbelongingandsomeconfidence.Shay’sfatherapproachedoneoftheboysonthefieldandaskedifShaycouldplay,notexpectingmuch.Theboylookedaroundandsaid,“We’relosingbysixruns(分)andthegameisintheeighthinning(局).Iguesshecanbeonourteamandwe’lltrytoputhimintobatinthefinalinning.Shaystruggledovertotheteam’sbenchandputonateamshirtwithabroadsmileandhisfatherhadasmalltearinhiseyeandwarmthinheart.Theboyssawthefather’sjoyathissonbeingaccepted.Inthebottomoftheeighthinning,Shay’steamscoredafewrunsbutwasstillbehindbythree.Inthetopofthefinalinning,Shayputonagloveandplayedinthefield.Eventhoughnohitscamehisway,hewasobviouslyjoyfuljusttobeinthegameandonthefield.Inthebottomofthefinalinning,Shay’steamscoredagain.Now,Shaywasscheduledtobenextatbat.WouldtheyletShaybatandgiveawaytheirchancetowinthegame?Surprisingly,Shaywasgiventhebat.Everyoneknewthatahitwasalmostimpossible.Thefirstpitch(投)cameandShaymissed.ThepitcheragaintookafewstepsforwardtothrowtheballsoftlytowardsShay.Asthepitchcamein,Shay6\nswungattheballandhitaslowgroundballrightbacktothepitcher.ThepitchercouldhaveeasilythrownheballtothefirstbasemanandShaywouldhavebeenoutandthatwouldhavebeentheendofthegame.Instead,thepitcherthrewtheballrightovertheheadofthefirstbaseman,beyondthereachofallteammates,Theaudienceandtheplayersfrombothteamsstartedscreaming,“Shay,runtofirst!”NeverinhislifehadShayeverrunthatfarbutmadeittofirstbase,wide-eyedandshocked.Everyoneshould,“Runtosecond!”Catchinghisbreath,Shayawkwardlyrantowardssecond.BythetimeShayroundedtowardssecondbase,thesmallestguyontheirteam,whohadachancetobetheheroforhisteamforthefirsttime,couldhavethrowntheballtothesecondbaseman,butheunderstoodthepitcher’sintentionsandhetoointentionallythrewtheballhighandfaroverthethirdbaseman’shead.Allwerescreaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，allthewayShay.”Shayreachedthirdbasewhenoneopposingplayerrantohelphimandshouted,“Shay,runtothird.”AsShayroundedthird,allwereontheirfeet,crying,“Shay,runhome！”Shayrantohome,steppedonthehomebaseandwascheeredastheherowhotwonthegameforhisteam.Thatday,theboysfrombothteamshelpedbringapiecetrueloveandhumanityintothisworld.Shaydidn’tmakeittoanothersummeranddiedthatwinter,havingneverforgottenbeingtheheroandmakinghisfathersohappyandcominghomeandseeinghismothertearfullyhugherlittleherooftheday!()1.Notexpectingmuch,Shay’sfatherstillaskedtheboyifShaycouldplay,mainlybecausethefather_________.A.noticedsomeoftheboysonthefieldwereheistingB.guessedhispresencewouldaffecttheboy’sdecisionC.learnedsomeoftheboysonthefieldknewShaywellD.understoodShaydidneedafeelingofbeingaccepted()2.InthebottomofthefinalinningShaywasgiventhebatbecausetheboys_________.6\nA.believedtheyweresuretowinthegameB.wouldliketohelpShayenjoythegameC.foundShaywassoeagertobeawinnerD.fellforcedtogiveShayanotherchance()3.Thesmallestboythrewtheballhighandfaroverthethirdbaseman’shead,probablybecausethatboy________.A.wasobviouslyawareofthepitcher’spurposeB.lookedforwardtowinningthegameforhisteamC.failedtothrowtheballtothesecondbasemanD.sawthatShayalreadyreachedsecondbase()4.WhichofthefollowinghasnothingtodowithShay’sbecomingtheheroforhisteam?A.Thepitcherdidnotthrowtheballtothefirstbaseman.B.Theaudienceandtheplayersfrombothteamscheeredforhim.C.Theopposingplayersfailedtostophisrunningtohome.D.Oneoftheopposingplayersrantohelphim.()5.Whattoyouthinkisthethemeofthestory?A.Truehumannaturecouldberealizedinthewaywetreateachother.B.Everyonehashisownstrengthevenifmentallyorphysicallydisabled.C.Everyonecandevelophisteamspiritinsportsandpleasehisparents.D.Theresultsofthegameshouldnotbetheonlyconcernoftheplayers.B篇 第四篇文章是一篇关于爱的教育的故事。一位父亲鼓励帮助自己心智和身体残疾的儿子，和正常人一样参与棒球运动，并且得到同伴的认可。文章富有教育意义。 66.细节题。根据题干关键词定位到文章第一段，but处出题，最后一句”itwouldgivehimamuch-neededsenseofbelongingandsomeconfidence”得出答案D为正确选项。6\n 67.细节题。答案在原文第五段surprisingly处，显示了一种转折。在上一段讲了Shay的团队赢分了，在上文eventhough点出尽管他没有一个球是他进的，但他仍然感到很喜悦。在第五段文章说他被伙伴们同意进入了最后一局。可见答案B是正确的，所有人都希望能够帮助他成功。 68.细节题。根据题干将关键词定位到第七段”thesmallestguyontheirteam”，这是个长难句，who引导了一个非限制性定语从句，他本可以成为比赛最后的hero,可but点出了转折，他明白pitcher的意图并且帮助了Shay的成功。可见答案A正确。 69.推断题。题干问下面哪一项是和Shay的成功无关的。文章第八段最后说众人喊道:“Shay,runhome”,当他runhome之后，我们看到结果是他成功了，他成为了Hero，可见没有任何人在这个时候阻止了他。可见C选项是与他的成功无关的，为正确选项。 70.主旨大意题。文章处处渗透了球队人与人之间的相互尊重，因此A选项包容性最大，B,C,D都是很片面的。6
