Unit 8
1. 找关键；找细节；查疏漏
B
【解析】作为文章的首段，往往表明中心大意或者引出下文内容。选项B 中的That 为解
题的关键。指代上句中“大部分青少年一年感冒2 到4 次”这件事。
E
【解析】此空位于段尾，根据小标题可知，本段主要讲感冒发生的原因，细菌突破人的鼻
孔和喉咙保护层，由此触发人体免疫系统的反应，导致喉咙痛、头痛，呼吸困难，故感冒
症状就会出现了。根据上下句之间的关系可知，此处按照从原因到结果的顺序进行表述，
由此可知E 项正确。
A
【解析】要求选择本段落的主旨大意。通读本段内容可知，本段主要讲述感冒持续的时
间，再根据各个段落小标题的内容和形式可知A 项“感冒持续多长时间？”正确。
G
【解析】选项G 中的last 2 weeks 和within a week 为解题的关键。这与小标题"How
Long Do Colds Last?"相呼应。
C
【解析】根据空格后的 Besides 和 help you breathe more easily 及本段的标题"How
Can I Feel Better?"可知，此处讲述如何减轻感冒症状，选项C 中的soothe aches and
pains 与以上内容表述一致，故C 项正确。
2. 逻辑连词；代词；关键信息
语义衔接；同义替换
ABC；EG
D
【解析】考查上下文逻辑。根据前文Studies have shown that drinking water on empty
stomach can help increase metabolic (新陈代谢的) rate up by 30%.可知，研究表明，
空腹喝水，（人的）代谢率会上升30%。承接上文，D 项This means that the rate at which
calories are burned increases by nearly one third.“这意味着卡路里燃烧率也上升了大
约三分之一”切题。故选D。
A
【解析】考查上下文逻辑。根据后文then you will be able to digest food faster and
maintain a slim figure despite eating those extra calories.可知，只要你的身体怎么样，
尽管摄入了额外的卡路里，你还是可以更快地消化食物，保持苗条的身材。A 项If your
metabolic rate is higher（如果你的代谢率更高），正好可以解释，为什么摄入额外的卡路
里还可以保持苗条的身材。故选A。
E
【解析】考查上下文逻辑。根据前文The colon (结肠), which is in part responsible for
bowel movements, require water to function properly.可知，结肠在一定程度上负责肠
道运动，它需要水才能正常工作。承接上文，E 项So just drink down a glass of water and
sit on your toilet for a clean colon. ( 所以，喝一杯水，坐在马桶上清理结肠。) 切题，正
是因为结肠需要水，所以要喝水来清理肠道。故选E。
B
【解析】考查上下文逻辑。根据上文At this moment, if you love coffee, which makes
central nervous system excited, your nervous system will be affected from the get-
go.可知，早晨空腹的时候，如果你爱喝咖啡，这会使中枢神经系统兴奋，你的神经系统会
从一开始就受到影响，根据下文it can properly supply water to your nervous system,
which will help it function properly.可知，只要做了什么，它可以为你的神经系统提供适
当的水，这将有助于神经系统正常工作。承上启下，B 项you just have a glass of warm
water instead（就只喝一杯水来代替（咖啡）)切题，与前后文呼应。故选B。
F
【解析】考查上下文逻辑。根据后文So just by increasing your water intake, you are
basically preventing your chances from suffering another headache attack.可知，
只要增加水的摄入量，基本上就可以防止你再次遭受头痛发作。说明头痛与喝水有关。F 项
Your doctor might have already told you that headaches happen due to lack of
water.（你的医生一定告诉过你因为缺水你才会头痛）在这里切题，因为缺水头痛，所以只
要多喝水，就可以防止头痛再次发生。故选F。
巩固练习
A 篇：
C
【解析】根据前面的话，你可以拿走我的钱，我的衣服和房子，我还能活，所以后面是说如
果你拿走了我的健康，我就会死。故选C。
D
【解析】根据本段内容，本段通过作者自己所吃的东西，讲了多吃健康的食物是有好处的。
故选D。
G
【解析】本段讲述了锻炼对保持健康也是有好处的。故选G。
E
【解析】根据后面的话，我喜欢和朋友一起笑。说明前面说的是笑对健康有好处。故选E。
B;
【解析】最后一段内容是对前面的总结，所以这是作者健康生活的秘密。故选B。
B 篇：
D
【解析】根据横线前一句“Is there a relation between money and happiness?”金钱
和幸福之间有联系吗？提出了一个疑问，首先我们要对这个问题进行回答，然后再进一步提
出另外一个问题。D 项“And if so, how can we use it to our advantage?”本句中的so
指代“金钱和幸福之间的确有联系”，那么我们又应该如何利用这一点？该项与上文一致。
G
【解析】根据横线前一句“But some studies have shown that in North America,
additional income beyond 75,000 dollars a year stops impacting day-to-day
happiness.”当年收入超过七万五千美元的时候，金钱就不再影响我们日常的幸福了。横线
句应该对这一观点进行说明 ，所以G 项“In fact, people who win a lottery often report
becoming extremely unhappy.”实际上，赢得彩票的人都过得很不幸福。该句是对上一
句的补充证明。
C
【解析】本段阐述幸福与否与我们如何花钱有关。根据横线后一句“Studies show that
people who spend their money on others feel happier.”研究显示在别人身上花钱会
让我们感觉更幸福。横线句也应该是与这一行为有关的内容，所以C 项“Instead of buying
things for yourself, try giving some of it to other people and see how you feel.”与之
一致。
A
【解析】根据本段最后一句“Similarly, individuals that spend money on each other, as
opposed to themselves, not only increase job satisfaction, but improve the team
performance.”说明在团队中，对另外的人身上花钱不仅能够提高工作满意度，而且还提
高团队的表现。这与文章第二段的观点是一致的，在团队中这一行为也是有效的。
故A 项“The same principle has been tested on teams and organizations as well.”
属于这两段的过渡串联句。
E
【解析】本段对前面四段内容进行总结，告诉我们奉献比索取更能让我们幸福。而E 项
“Almost everywhere we look in the world, we see that giving money to others is
positively related to happiness.”恰好是对这一主题的再次说明。
故E 项正确。

Section1
1. A
【解析】M: Can I borrow your math textbook? I lost mine on the bus.
W: You've asked the right person. I happen to have an extra copy.
2. C
【解析】M: Sorry, Mom. I'm late again. I lost my keys on my way home and tried hard
to find them.
W: I'm sorry. I've got used to this kind of excuse. Could you try something new?
3. A
【解析】W: I'm feeling bored with being sick in bed. What if I didn't have those
magazines to read?
M: Well, if it helps, I'll run to the store to get you some new ones.
W: Thanks a lot, Bill.
4. C
【解析】M: I ran into our friend Mark yesterday on the street, and he said he hadn't
heard from you in two months.
W: Yes, I know. But I've been too busy to phone him.
5. A
【解析】M: It's Mom and Dad's wedding anniversary next month. Shall we hold a
party for them?
W: I don't think that's a good idea. Dad hates parties. And anyway, I won't have
time next month. I need to study for my exams.
M: Then, let's take them out to have dinner at a restaurant.
W: Great! And we can buy some gifts for them.
M: How about going shopping this Sunday?
W: OK.
6. C
【解析】M: I really like this shirt, but I don't know whether it is my size.
W: Try it on first. If it is the wrong size, you can try another one.
M: Oh, where is the changing room?
W: It's over there by the mirror.
M: Can I take two shirts to try on?
W: Yes, you can take three shirts at a time to try on.
M: I just want to try on these two that I like.
W: OK. I'll wait here to help you.
7. C
【解析】M: I'll have the steak, French Fries, and let's see, chocolate ice-cream for
dessert.
W: Oh. Oh, dear, you know these things will ruin your health, too much fat and sugar,
how about ordering some vegetables and fruit instead?
8. A
【解析】W: I hope you can come to the party on Saturday.

Section2
1. A
【解析】M: Good morning. What's the trouble?
W: Sometimes I feel cold and sometimes hot. I have a headache and
stomachache.
M: When did this start?
W: I felt very tired last night when I went to bed. Then I felt really bad this morning
when I woke up.
M: Yes, you look a bit off-color.
W: What color, did you say?
M: Sorry, what I said was, "off-color" We often use it to describe how someone looks
or feels when he or she is unwell. Now, let's take a look at your temperature. Ah, just
as I thought, a hundred and one.
W: Oh, is it that high?
M: Ah, yes, that must sound strange to you. We often measure people's
temperature on the Fahrenheit scale, where 98.6 degrees is normal blood
temperature. In Centigrade, your temperature is 39 degrees, which is high.
W: Oh, it isn't very bad, then.
2. C

W: You made no mistake this time. I'm very glad you have made such great
progress.
M: Oh, really? Thanks a lot, Miss Smith. Thank you so much for your help.
W: You're entirely welcome.
M: I'm going to the gym now. I don't want to take up too much of your time.
W: That's all right. Now here's your exercise book.
M: You know, Miss Smith, you are one of the best teachers I've ever met.
W: It's very kind of you to say so. Come to me any time you need help.
M: Many thanks. I'll do that.
3. C
【解析】M: Excuse me, Miss Miller. Are you free to answer some questions for me?
W: Sure. What would you like to know?
M: Thank you. So what sports do you like?
W: I'm mad about tennis. But I enjoy playing volleyball sometimes, too.
M: It's said that sports are very popular in English schools and universities. Is that right?
W: Yes, that's right. We think sports can let students face the competitive society
well.
M: I quite agree. We should pay more attention to building up strong bodies with
healthy minds. Miss Miller, what's the most popular sport in Britain?
W: Well, soccer is the most popular in our country.
M: It seems that sport is a common topic of conversations.
W: Yes, I think apart from the weather, it's the most talked about topic.
M: So if we want to start a conversation with a stranger, we can start talking about
the weather or the sport. Is that right?
W: Yes, you are clever. Other questions?
M: No. Thank you very much for the interview.
W: Not at all.

M：Four.
W：Four? Why so many? That's a lot of work.
M：And a lot of money, just to apply... But I've been dreaming of this for a long time.
W：Your dreams are so...big, exciting. I mean, my dreams are real simple.
M：I don't know. I can't explain it... I just want to know everything about singing. I'll
get my degree and make something of myself.
W：Well, when you become a big star and you get your first hit song, don't forget
your friend here in the factory.
