9、目的是提供信息。故选D项。长难句分析：Well study techniques for controlling the brain as well as the latest technologies that allow you to control the outside world using your mind alone.(Overview：部分最后一句)分析：本句为主从复合句。句中that allow you to control the outside world using your mind alone为that引导的定语从句，修饰先行词technologies。译文：我们

10、将研究控制大脑的技术以及让你独自使用信念来引导你控制外部世界的最新技术。B(2018绵阳市高中第一次诊断)David Rees runs a truly distinctive business.He charges customers$15 to sharpen their pencils to perfection，using a variety of tools.I know what youre thinkingis this a joke？The 39yearold gets asked that question a lot.To clarify everything，he eve

18、ss has really angered lots of people，who talk of inequality in America，saying it is so insane for the wealthy to pay$15 to sharpen a pencil.分析：本句是一个复合句。两个who都引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，分别修饰先行词the only one和lots of people；saying.sharpen a pencil是现在分词短语作伴随状语。译文：你不是唯一一个这样想的人。David独特的生意真的激怒了很多谈论美国的不平等的人，他们说富人为了削铅笔而付

19、15美元实在是疯了。4D考查推理判断。根据第四段第一句“To achieve the desired result，the master sharpener uses.even a special$450 sharpening machine”可推知，主人公给客户提供高质量的削铅笔服务，故选D。A项错在主人公为了工作发明新工具，文章中只是提到了运用各种工具，并没有提到发明新工具；B项错在主人公在他的网站上宣传他的技能，根据第二段可知，主人公在网站上解释了自己的工作，而非宣传技能；C项错在主人公为他人节省了很多时间，文章中对此并没有提及，故排除。5B考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“It depen

20、ds on what the customer wants to use his/her pencil for”可知，主人公会给客户提供个性化的服务，故选B。6C考查词义猜测。根据第五段第一句“$15 to have a pencil sharpened is a bit expensive though，right”，并结合第二段第一句“I know what youre thinkingis this a joke”可推知，此处的insane意为“十分愚蠢的，疯狂的”，故选C。 deliberate“故意的”；rewarding “值得做的”；irresponsible“不负责任的”。7A

21、考查观点态度。根据全文的整体内容可知，作者认为主人公所提供的削铅笔服务是与众不同的、别致的，故选A。C(2018长春七校第一次联考)There is a popular saying in the English language：“Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me.”Well，that is not true.Unkind words，namecalling or even the socalled“the silent treatment”can hurt children as much a

25、.This was the area that was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing.So，unkind，hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect.The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people i

30、calling or even the socalledthe silent treatment can hurt children as much as being physically hit，sometimes even more so”可知，本文引用这个谚语恰恰是为了引出一个不同的或者说是相反的观点，故选B。9D考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents”可知，这些实验对象都没有遭受过父母的残酷或暴力对待，也就是

31、说，他们在家里都没受到过身体上的虐待。故选D。部分考生会误选A项，原因在于考生看到了第三段中的“reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school”而误认为所有的实验对象都遭受过语言暴力，但是根据前面的“the people who”可知，并非所有实验对象都遭受过语言暴力。10C考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段“Parents cannot control what other people say to their children，but they can prepare their children”可知，作者接下来应该会

32、就“父母如何帮助自己的孩子为可能遭受的语言暴力做好准备，使他们不会受到语言暴力的影响”给出一些方法或建议。故选C。11C考查主旨要义。文章介绍了语言暴力对孩子的不良影响，再根据文中的“verbal(言语的)abuse by other children can harm development in the brain”可以看出，其影响主要体现在孩子的大脑发育方面。故选C。D(2018贵阳市摸底考试)Its good to make mistakes，and here is why.First of all，mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new
