在痛苦之中，但也依然对生活充满希望，鼓励他人回报社会。1.细节理解题。根据第一段的“Imagineforamomentthatyoucouldn'tdressyourselformakeyourownbreakfast.Nowimagineifthisishowyouwillwakeupfortherestofyourlife.ForIvyKrause,thisisherreality.”（想象一下，你不能自己穿衣，也不能自己做早餐。再想象一下，如果这就是你余生醒来的方式。对IvyKrause来说，这就是她的现实）可知，IvyKrause生活不能自理。故选B。2.主旨大意题。根据第二段的主要内容，尤其“IvyhasthemostsevereformofEBwhere\nherskinisaffectedbothexternallyandinternally.......MobilityislimitedasIvy'sskinhasbecometight,andherfingershavefusedtogether,”（Ivy患有最严重的一种表皮溶解水泡症，她的内外皮肤都受到了影响。......行动受到限制，因为Ivy的皮肤已经变得非常紧绷，她的手指也已经融合再一起）可知，本段主要陈述Ivy的表皮溶解水泡症的症状。故选B。3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Byhavingthesamenursestreatingher,Ivyknowsthatweloveandcareaboutherasmuchasshelovesus.”（通过让相同的护士看护她，Ivy知道我们对她的爱和关心正如她爱我们一样多）可知，虽然身患疾病，但Ivy还是对周围的人表达出爱意，由此可知她很乐观。根据最后一段的“Shehasencouragedsomanypeopletogivebacktothecommunityanddonatetocharitieswhosupportthefamiliesofyoungchildrenlivingwithdisabilities,evenjusttoshowappreciationtothegiftoflifeandopportunity.”（她鼓励很多人回馈社会，向帮助残疾儿童家庭的慈善机构捐款，即使只是为了表达对生命和机会的感谢）可知，即使身患疾病Ivy仍然鼓励他人回馈社会，由此可知，Ivy是一个感恩的人。综上所述，Ivy是一个乐观且知道感恩的人，故选B。4.主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容可知，本文主要讲述身患表皮溶解水泡症的Ivy生活不能自理，每天生活在痛苦之中，但也依然对生活充满希望，病鼓励他人回报社会。再结合最后一段的“Eventhoughsheiscoveredwithbandages,herstrongwillforlifeismovingandinspiring,justlikeabutterfly,facingsomanybarrierswhichstilldoesitsbesttocomeoutofthechrysalis(蝶蛹).”（尽管身体缠满绷带，但她坚强的生命意志却令人感动，让人振奋。Ivy就像一只蝴蝶，面对重重阻碍，她仍努力冲破茧的束缚）可知，虽然全身缠满绷带，她就像是裹在茧里的蝴蝶，凭借顽强的毅力破茧而出。由此可知，“绷带下的蝴蝶”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C。2Fitnessjunkies(上瘾者)lockedoutofgyms,commuters(上班族)fearfulofpublictransport,andfamiliesgoingcrazyinsidetheirhomesduringthecoronaviruspandemic(冠状病毒大流行)havecreatedaboom(繁荣)inbicyclesalesunseenindecades.BicyclesalesoverthepasttwomonthssawtheirbiggestspikeintheU.S.sincetheoilcrisisofthe1970s,saidJayTownley,whoanalyzescyclingindustrytrendsatHumanPoweredSolutions.“Peoplequitefranklyhavepanicked,andthey’re\nbuyingbikesliketoiletpaper,”Townleysaid,referringtotherushtobuyessentialsliketoiletpaperandhandsanitizer(杀菌剂)thatstoressawatthebeginningofthepandemic.Thetrendismirroredaroundtheglobe,ascitieslikeManilaandRome,setupbikelanes(车道)toaccommodategrowinginterestincyclingwhilepublictransportremainsreduced.InLondon,authoritiesplantogofurtherbybanningcarsfromsomecentralhighways.Therearemultiplereasonsforthepandemicbicycleboom.Aroundtheworld,manyworkerswerelookingforanalternativetobusesandsubways.Peopleunabletogototheirgymslookedforanotherwaytoexercise.Andshut-infamiliestriedtofindawaytokeepkidsactiveduringstay-at-homeorders.Thepandemicisalsodrivingaboominelectric-assistbikes,callede-bikes,whichwereaminorpartoftheoverallmarketuntilnow.SalesatCowboy,aBelgiane-bikemaker,tripled(三倍增长)intheJanuary-Aprilperiodfromlastyear.Notably,theyspikedinBritainandFranceataroundthesametimeinMaythatthosecountriesstartedeasinglockdownrestrictions,saidChiefMarketingOfficerBenoitSimeray.JoeMinutolo,co-ownerofBarHarborBicycleShop,saidhehopesthesalesgrowthtranslatesintolong-termchange.“Peoplearehavingachancetorethinkthings,”hesaid.“Maybewe'llalllearnsomethingoutofthis,andsomethingreallygoodwillhappen.”5.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“spike”inParagraph2probablymean?A.Decline.B.Restriction.C.Increase.D.Disappearance.6.WhatcanbeknownaboutManilaandRome?A.BikeLanesaresetupforcyclists.B.Localsstillrushtobuytoiletpaper.C.Carsarebannedfromsomemainroads.D.E-bikessellmuchbetterthanothercategories.7.WhatdoesParagraph4mainlytalkabout?\nA.Theappearanceofe-bikes.B.Thereasonsforthebicycleboom.C.Thedailyactivitiesofshut-infamilies.D.Thetrafficconditionsaroundtheworld.8.Whatisthemainpurposeofthetext?A.Toencouragereaderstobuybicycles.B.Toinformreadersofthebicycleboom.C.Topresentattitudestowardsthebicycleboom.D.Tointroducethenewdevelopmentofbicycles.【答案】5.C6.A7.B8.B【分析】本文是说明文。在冠状病毒大流行期间催生了几十年来未见的自行车销售热潮。5.词句猜测题。根据第二段的“BicyclesalesoverthepasttwomonthssawtheirbiggestspikeintheU.S.sincetheoilcrisisofthe1970s(在美国，过去两个月里自行车销售见证了自20世纪70年代石油危机以来的巨大spike)”和““Peoplequitefranklyhavepanicked,andthey’rebuyingbikesliketoiletpaper,”Townleysaid,referringtotherushtobuyessentialsliketoiletpaperandhandsanitizer(杀菌剂).(Townleysaid说：“坦白说，人们已经恐慌了，他们像买厕纸一样购买自行车”，他的意思是人们争相抢购生活必需品，例如厕纸、杀菌剂)”可知，在冠状病毒大流行期间人们感到恐慌，像抢购生活必需品一样争相抢购自行车。由此可知，在过去的两个月里自行车销量大涨，即划线词的意思是“上涨”。故选C。6.细节理解题。根据第三段的“Thetrendismirroredaroundtheglobe,ascitieslikeManilaandRome,setupbikelanestoaccommodategrowinginterestincyclingwhilepublictransportremainsreduced.(这一趋势在全球各地都得到了反映，例如Manila和罗马等城市建立了自行车道，以满足人们对骑车日益增长的兴趣，而公共交通仍然在减少)”可知，在Manila和Rome建了自行车车道。故选A。7.主旨大意题。分析段落结构可知，本段是总——分结构，即第一句为中心句。根据第一句“Therearemultiplereasonsforthepandemicbicycleboom.(自行车大流行的热潮有多种原因)”可知，本段主要说明自行车销售热潮的各种原因。故选B。8.推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段的“familiesgoingcrazyinsidetheir\nhomesduringthecoronaviruspandemic(冠状病毒大流行)havecreatedaboom(繁荣)inbicyclesalesunseenindecades.(冠状病毒大流行在室内待到发疯的家庭创造了几十年来前所未见的自行车销售热潮)”可知，本文是说明文，旨在向读者介绍在冠状病毒大流行期间出现的自行车销售热潮现象。故选B。3Nexttimeyougoonholiday,it'sgoingtofeelprettydifferent.Youmayhavetowearafacemask.Andthatmeansgettingyourpointacrossinanunfamiliarlanguage—allwhilekeepingyourmouthcovered—couldbecomeabitofaproblem.That'swheretheC-mask,byJapanese
