【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了大卫·诺特医生的自传《战争医生：前线的外科手术》，
并讲述了他作为一名战地医生，富有冒险精神，在随时面临着死亡危险的绝境中无私又坚定
地救助伤者的英勇事迹。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和数字计算四个题型的考查，是一篇
故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，
推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
24．B. 考查代词指代。根据第一段"It is akind ofaddiction, a pullI find hardto resist."这是一种
上瘾，一种我无法抗拒的诱惑；以及"This pull has seen himuse hissurgical skillsto help thosein
need bytaking unpaid,month-long breaks from his ‘day job'as anNHS surgeon in theUKevery
year to work in conflict zones anddisasterareas."在这种诱惑下，他利用自己的外科技能帮助那
些需要帮助的人，他每年都会从他作为英国NHS 外科医生的"日常工作"中抽出长达一个月的
无薪假期，前往冲突地区和灾区工作。可知，It 指代的就是pull，一种诱惑，最后一句解释
了这种诱惑就是他利用自己的外科技能在战争地区工作。故选B。
25．C. 考查数字计算。根据第一段中的"‘Ihave travelled theworld for 25years in search of
trouble,' admitsDr David Nott in hisrecent autobiography,WarDoctor: Surgery ontheFront Line."
大卫·诺特医生在他最近的自传《战医：前线的外科手术》中承认：我周游世界25年来一直
在寻找麻烦；以及第二段中的"He first worked inSarajevo in 1993as avolunteerwith theFrench
charity Médecins SansFroatières."他第一次在萨拉热窝工作是在1993年，当时他是法国慈善机
答案第1页，共8页
{#{QQABaQwEogCoAABAARhCAQWICkCQkAGAAAoOABAEIAAAwBFABAA=}#}构无国界医生组织的志愿者。可知，这本书记录的是大卫医生在前线的做外科手术的事情，
他1993第一次参加这种工作，书中又说他周游世界已经25年了，所以1993+25=2018。可推
断，这本书可能是在2018年发表的。故选C。
26．A. 考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"I thinkto skirt death —and thento realizehowclose you
are to death andthat you survived it —is exciting.Andthat's theexperience I've had many times
over."我认为避免死亡——然后意识到你离死亡有多近，并且你活了下来——是令人兴奋的。
这就是我多次经历过的事情。可知，大卫医生认为这种死里逃生的感觉是令人兴奋的。故选
A。
27．D. 考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"I thinkto skirt death —and thento realizehowclose you
are to death andthat you survived it —is exciting.Andthat's theexperience I've had many times
over."我认为避免死亡——然后意识到你离死亡有多近，并且你活了下来——是令人兴奋的。
这就是我多次经历过的事情)"可推知，大卫医生是富有冒险精神的；根据最后一段中的"In
Gazain 2014,he decided not toabandon a young girl in themiddleofsurgery despite beingtold
that the hospitalwas about to bebombed.He carried on,nobombs fell and thegirl survived."2014
年，在加沙，尽管被告知医院即将被炸毁，他还是决定不抛弃正在接受手术的一个年轻女孩。
他继续进行手术，没有炸弹落下，女孩也活了下来；以及"InYemen, he operated onthewife of
a bomb-makerwho had accidentally blown uphis own house. Nottfound a detonator(雷管)buried
in her leg and bad to carefully disposeofit before continuing theoperation."在也门，他为一名炸弹
制造者的妻子做手术，他意外炸毁了自己的房子。诺特发现一枚雷管埋在她的腿里，在继续
手术之前，他必须小心处理。可推知，大卫医生是无私的。故选D。
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，咖啡香味能提高数学技能。
28．A. 词义猜测题。由第一段第一、二句“It’s known to all that coffee canmake you feel more
awake, and nowit seems that coffee may also improve your maths skills.And thebest news is that
you don’t even need to drink it tosee theimprovements —you just need tosmell it.(众所周知，咖
啡可以让你感觉更清醒，现在看来，咖啡也可以提高你的数学技能。最好的消息是，你甚至
不需要喝它就能看到改善——你只需要闻一闻。)”可知，咖啡有助于提高你的数学技能，甚
至是闻一闻咖啡就会对数学技能的提高有帮助；由此可知第二段划线词所在句“Anew study
byresearchers from Stevens InstituteofTechnology has revealed that thearoma of coffeemay help
your maths skills. (Stevens 理工学院的研究人员进行的一项新研究表明，咖啡的aroma 可能有
助于你的数学技能。)”与第一段表达的意思一致，说明研究发现闻一下咖啡散发的气味就可
能提高你的数学技能。由此可知，the aromaofcoffee 指的是咖啡所散发出的气味，句中划线
词aroma 指的是“气味”，与smell“气味”意思相近。故选A。
29．B. 推理判断题。第三段“In thestudy,100business students tooka 10-question algebra test.
Half thegroup tookthetest in thepresence ofa coffee-like scent, whiletheother half tookthe test
in an unscented room.Theresults revealed that thegroup in thecoffee-smelling room scored
significantly higheronthe test than thosein theunscented room. (在这项研究中，100位商学院学
生做了10道代数题。一半的人是在咖啡香味的环境中做的测试题，另一半是在没有咖啡香味
的房间中做的题。结果表明在咖啡香味环境中做题的学生的得分明显高于在没有咖啡香味环
境中做题的学生。)”主要讲述了研究人员找了100个学生做实验的过程及结果，实验结果表
明在咖啡香味环境中做题的学生的数学测试得分明显高于在没有咖啡香味环境中做题的学生
的得分。由此可知，第三段通过阐述实验过程与实验结果为研究发现提供依据。故选B。
30．D. 细节理解题。由第三段“In thestudy,100business students tooka 10-question algebra test.
Half thegroup tookthetest in thepresence ofa coffee-like scent, whiletheother half tookthe test
in an unscented room.Theresults revealed that thegroup in thecoffee-smelling room scored

{#{QQABaQwEogCoAABAARhCAQWICkCQkAGAAAoOABAEIAAAwBFABAA=}#}生做了10道代数题。一半的人是在咖啡香味的环境中做的测试题，另一半是在没有咖啡香味
的房间中做的题。结果表明在咖啡香味环境中做题的学生的得分明显高于在没有咖啡香味环
境中做题的学生。)”可知，有100商学院学生参与 10道代数题的测试，在有咖啡味的房间考
试的50位学生得分要明显高于比没有咖啡味的的另外一组50位学生。因此，D 选项“50
business students scored higherinthemaths test with thepresence ofcoffee than thosewithout the
scent ofcoffee.(50 名商学院学生在有咖啡气味的环境中比没有咖啡气味的学生在数学测试中
得分更高。)”正确。故选D。
31．D. 主旨大意题。文章第二段的第一句话“Anewstudy byresearchers from Stevens Instituteof
Technology has revealed that thescent of coffee may helpyour maths skills.(Stevens 理工学院的
研究人员进行的一项新研究表明，咖啡的香味可能有助于提高你的数学技能。)”指出一项新
的研究发现咖啡的香味可能有助于提高你的数学技能；作者在下文详细阐述这项研究的过程
与研究发现。由此可知文章主要介绍了咖啡香味能提高数学技能这一研究发现。D 选项“The
Scent ofCoffeeMay Help One’s Maths Skills(咖啡的香味可能有助于提高数学能力)”能够概括
文章主旨，最适合作为文章标题。故选D。

estimates, thestudyindicates that seagrass in theBahamas may contain 19.2%to 26.3%ofall the
carbon stored in seagrass meadows onEarth."在气候变化方面，这是一个很好的消息。海草移除
二氧化碳的速度是热带雨林的35倍。当提到全球海草碳储量估计时，该研究表明，巴哈马的

happy to seeChris's changes and were gettingalong with him.When oneof MissLee's coworkers
asked her,"How did you get through toChris "Miss Lee smiled slightly and responded, "I gave
him achance—justthrough one song."
【知识点】文字式记叙文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读可知，文章主要讲述了Miss Lee 作为
一名英语老师，用英语歌曲进行英语教学，并鼓励所有学生推荐一首自己喜欢的英文歌曲，
由Miss Lee 演奏并广播。班里一个不讨人喜欢的学生Chris在老师的单独鼓励下，推荐了一
首英文歌曲，这首歌受到了老师和同学们的喜欢。由此Chris 开始改变。段落续写：①由第
一段首句内容"播放克里斯推荐的那首歌完全改变了他的生活"可知，第一段播放Chris 的歌曲
给他带来了什么样的变化；②由第二段首句内容"Miss Lee 甚至推荐克里斯参加一年一度的校
歌比赛。"可知，第二段可Chris 参加校歌曲比赛的盛况。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文
意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高
级句型是文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本篇书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用了一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生
动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高了文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练
的驾驭能力。例如：While everyone else misunderstood him, Miss Lee understood him and
knewthat hejustneeded someonewho accepted him and gave him achance 运用了定语从句；
As expected, he wonfirst prize运用了as 引导的非限制性定语从句。

Thanks for joining us for the annual Running of the Bulls here in Pamplona, Spain.
Bull-running has been a custom in Spain since the 15th century. However, it likely started before
that, when farmers led their cattle through the streets to the market. Nowadays, the event in
Pamplona is held during a nine-day festival honoring Saint Fermin, (17) the son of a Roman
official. It gained worldwide attention in 1926, after the famous American author Ernest
Hemingway wrote a novel about it. (18) Now, the Running of the Bulls is shown on TV all over
the world. For those unfamiliar with this event, here is what happens. First, people dress up in the
traditional clothing of ancient Spain. Next, hundreds of people who take part in the activity sing a
prayer to Saint Fermin. Finally,arocket is set off, and the bulls areset free fromtheirgates. (19)
For the next 875 meters, the bulls chase people through the streets, passing through the town square
and into a stadium. At this point, professional bull riders try to ride on their backs without being
thrown off. However, many people are angry that the bulls may be hurt during the running.
