【題目】 If you’ve never heard of eight-year-old Gavin Thomas, you clearly aren’t one of the millions of people around the world who have fallen in love with the young internet sensation (網(wǎng)紅) .

But it isn’t in his native United States that Gavin has really hit the big time, the honor belongs to China. Since creating a profile a mere four months ago on Weibo, Gavin has gained an astonishing 1.8 million followers - and the number continues to grow, along with his fame. On Twitter, by comparison, Gavin has a mere 450,000 followers.

Why is a young American, born in Minnesota and still in elementary school, an instant sensation in the largest country in the world? It’s because of Gavin’s unique facial expressions, which have become a hugely successful viral meme (模仿傳遞行為) . Gavin first made a name for himself in the US, when short videos of him playing with his uncle Nick Mastodon quickly became a hit online. But it wasn’t until Gavin’s videos spread gradually to the Chinese cyberspace, particularly one of his reacting with a nervous smile to a gecko (壁虎) being placed on his head, that his fame truly took off. A picture of Gavin’s face, smiling awkwardly, might be used as many as 10 million times a day across China’s various social media platforms, according to Ann Ding, founder and CEO of Dongtu.com, a major distributor of online gifts, told CNN. Ding said Gavin seemed to be more popular in China than in the US. She estimated that all of the total number of Gavin related pictures used across platforms in China has easily exceeded 1 billion. His appearance on Weibo was widely reported by Chinese state media, and his first trip to China in August made headlines across the country.

1細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中But it isn’t in his native United States that Gavin has really hit the big time, the honor belongs to China.可知但Gavin并不是在自己的祖國(guó)美國(guó)真正大受歡迎,而是中國(guó)獲得了這一榮譽(yù)。由此可知Gavin是在中國(guó)變得更受歡迎的。故選D

2細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中It’s because of Gavin’s unique facial expressions, which have become a hugely successful vital meme.可知這是因?yàn)?/span>Gavin獨(dú)特的面部表情,這已經(jīng)成為一個(gè)非常成功的表情包。由此可知,Gavin Thomas因其獨(dú)特的面部表情而擁有眾多追隨者。故選A

3詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)上文Ding said Gavin seemed to be more popular in China than in the US.可知Ding說,Gavin在中國(guó)似乎比在美國(guó)更受歡迎。由此她估計(jì),中國(guó)各平臺(tái)上使用的Gavin相關(guān)圖片總數(shù)已輕松超過10億張。故劃線單詞意思為“超過”。故選C

4細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中Since creating a profile a mere four months ago on Weibo, Gavin has gained an astonishing 1.8 million followers- and the number continues to grow, along with his fame.

詞義猜測(cè)題是高考閱讀理解中?碱}型之一,可以大致分為

定義猜詞,可以根據(jù)定義信息和舉例猜測(cè)詞義。如文中常用refer to, be calledthat's to say, such as等。

邏輯猜詞可以根據(jù)同義詞、反義詞、因果關(guān)系詞等猜測(cè)詞義,例如,similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等,所猜詞與這些提示詞前/后面部分的含義一樣、相反或是前因后果。

語(yǔ)法猜詞,可以根據(jù)構(gòu)詞法,再結(jié)合上下文進(jìn)行猜詞。

語(yǔ)境猜詞,猜測(cè)詞義離不開上下文的語(yǔ)境,通過上下文提供的情景和線索進(jìn)行合理的分析,同時(shí)還要關(guān)注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

指代猜詞即找出人稱代詞、指示代詞、關(guān)系代詞或關(guān)系副詞等所指代的內(nèi)容,做題時(shí)要注意指代詞的位置,以便于判斷,然后用所找的指代內(nèi)容替換劃線代詞,核實(shí)其邏輯、意義、位置等是否一致,最后比較所找部分與選項(xiàng),確定意思最接近的選項(xiàng)。

如第三小題,根據(jù)上文Ding said Gavin seemed to be more popular in China than in the US.可知Ding說,Gavin在中國(guó)似乎比在美國(guó)更受歡迎。由此她估計(jì),中國(guó)各平臺(tái)上使用的Gavin相關(guān)圖片總數(shù)已輕松超過10億張。故劃線單詞意思為“超過”。故選C。

【題目】 The old saying still rings true: “1Though having friends and family at your house may be fun at first, it can quickly sour once they've worn out their welcome. Your desire to have your living space all to yourself again and get back into your normal routine is perfectly reasonable. So how do you mention this uncomfortable situation without being rude?

2Having a house guest can be a positive experience for all involved, if both are considerate. That means, hopefully, you and your house guests will agree upon the dates and duration of their visit and other relevant details before their arrival.

If it's too late for that, start dropping hints now. 3For example, you can say, “It has been so lovely having you stay with us.” If your guests don't seem to be getting the message, a little white lie may be necessary.

Next time, set clearer boundaries from the start. That means your house guests should ask for permission to stay with you, not just assume they can. Make it clear that you need advanced notice, too—no last-minute surprise visits. 4

During a visit, encourage house guests to do some stuff on their own. Let them know they're welcome to grab a snack when they're hungry. 5It empowers them to be self-sufficient—and you get a breather, too.

A.They are not paying for the room

B.Hopefully, your guests will understand

C.Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days

D.Ideally, settle the details before not during the visit

E.And if the dates they suggest don't work for you, say no

F.Establish healthy boundaries with loved ones is essential

G.Make themselves a cup of coffee or leave the house when they please
