28、age.”可知,他不穿防寒泳衣是为了展示他的勇敢,故选B。2A词义猜测题。上文是他在冰水里游泳身体只能忍受20分钟,下文中提到他游泳时体温在慢慢下降,肌肉控制力也在下降,可推测出此处的it指的是his body,故选A。3A推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Doctors and Pugh caution that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters.”可知,一个人要想在冰冷的水里游泳必须得训练很长时间才可以,即要做足准备工作才行,故选A。4A标题归纳题。文章主要讲述的是Pugh为保护海洋而在极寒的水里游泳,
29、他用实际行动去展示他保护海洋的决心和勇气,由此可知A项是最佳标题。语篇解读本文是一篇研究报告。热水洗手是不是能杀死更多的细菌?研究证明并非如此,而且还产生了更多的二氧化碳。5C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“but they in fact have inaccurate beliefs or outdated perceptions.”的转折可知,一般来讲,人们洗手的观念和行为都是不太正确的或者过时的,故选C。6A推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“Using that number,Carricos team calculated a significant impact on the plane
30、t.”可知,本句承上启下,再根据第六段内容可知引用的那些数字就是为了证明用热水洗手对地球带来的消极影响,故选A。7A篇章结构题。通过对文章的整体理解,尤其是第六段可知,本文主要是通过列举事实,同时表达作者自己的观点的方式进行行文的,故选A。8B推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“They recommended washing with water that is at a comfortable temperature,which they noted may be warmer in cold months and cooler in hot ones.”可知,我们洗手用舒适温度的水即可,不

32、ildren screamed and laughed,my eyes locked on Brianna as she neared the picnic table.Molly could be difficult,and I wouldnt have been surprised if she sent Brianna back alone,refusing her invitation.”可知,当布丽安娜走向莫莉时,作者很是担心。故选A。11B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“I dont want Molly to think I only went to get her so I could
