【全文精译】本世纪初,医学科学家取得了一项惊人的发现:我们人类不仅仅由血和肉(1)构成,而且也由时间构成。

他们可以(2)用事实来说明 我们都有一个潜在的“生物钟”,它在(3)控制 着我们身体能量的升降,使得我们今天与(4)其他 日子不同。

这些力量被称为生物节律,它们创造了我们日常生活中的(5)高低变化。

潜在的“生物钟”这一(6)概念 本不应该令人惊讶,(7)因为 大多数生物的生命都由24小时昼夜循环所控制。

该循环最显著的(8)特征 是我们晚上感到疲惫,进入睡眠状态,以及白天头脑清醒(10)机灵 的(9)情形。

(11)如果 24小时的节律被打乱,大部分人会经历不快的副作用。

(12)比如,国际航空旅行者在飞越(13)时区 时经常会有“飞行时差反应”。

不习惯(14)轮班 的人会发现睡眠不足影响了他们的工作表现。

(15)与 每日的睡醒节律 一样,我们同样有其他的节律,他们(16)持续 的时间要比一天更长,影响我们生活的空间更广。

我们大部分人会同意,(17)有些 日子我们感觉不错,但有些日子不太好;有时我们(18)笨手笨脚,但有时手脚却非常协调灵活。

有些时候我们看起来易出事故,或是我们的脾气暴躁。

10.该题考查句子结构。

可以看出during the early...navigation在句中做状语,如果选择B选项该句没有主句,所以本题是一简单句,选项A、C不符合倒装结构,故答案为D。

11.该题考查定语从句。

该句中whom I was...ago是定语从句修饰a girl,而在定语从句中谓语动词的宾语不能直接是a girl,即要接一个介词with,其他选项不符合题意,故答案为D。

红宝书参考答案

2018年版45+5参考答案▼倒计时50天▽★一、选择题。

1.答案:B(A应和hè,聒guō;C凛冽lǐn,感慨kǎi;D迸射bèng)2.D(解析:1.D。

“重蹈覆辙”比喻义、感情色彩理解错。

它比喻不吸取教训,重犯以前的错误。

含贬义。

2.D。

“天伦之乐”适用范围错。

它只能专指有血缘亲属关系的乐趣。

3.D。

“进退维谷”本义理解错。

释义为无论是进还是退,都是处在困境之中,形容处境艰难,进退两难。

4.B。

“叹为观止”感情色彩理解错。

它谓赞叹观赏的对象精妙之极、完美之至。

含褒义。

5.D。

“抑扬顿挫”专指声音的高低起伏和停顿转折。

)3.【答案】C 【解析】A“质量”和“增加”,“信心”和“果断”搭配不当;B“谈论”和“热议”语义重复;D“在…后,将”成分残缺,没主语。

4.【答案】A 【解析】首先通读5个句子,知道大意是有关端午节的起源演变的,可以从时间顺序考虑排序。

接着找第1句,看答案只有④和⑤和②作为第1句的,比较容易确定④作为第1句,这样就排除BD选项了;根据时间顺,初步确定A为答案。

最后按照A的顺序代入默读,通顺。

5.无答案★二、默写题。

6.(1)青山郭外斜;(2)何当共剪西窗烛;(3)满眼风光北固楼;(4)凭君传语报平安;(5)悠然见南山;(6)物是人非事事休;(7)一夜乡心五处同;(8)山随平野尽,江入大荒流。

在乎山水之间也。

★三、文言文阅读题。

7.(1)斯:这;(2)馨:香气,这里指品德高尚;(3)形:形体,身体;(4)儒:读书人。

8.(1)孔子说,有什么简陋的呢?(2)怎么可以一天没有这个呢?9.共同点:从居住环境来看,刘禹锡和王子猷的空宅都很简陋,但由于居住的人品德高尚,因而使这“简陋”的屋子显得充实,有品味。

看法:结合生活,言之成理即可。

如:我也希望自己能够像刘禹锡和王子猷一样,拥有高尚的品格。

我的身边也有很多家境不太好的同学,居住条件不太好。

但他们仍然拥有积极乐观的优秀品格和良好的修养,我觉得这也是“陋室不陋”。
