【答案與解析［Remington不僅是一位成功的新聞?dòng)浾撸€是一位偉大的畫家。在他的畫中體現(xiàn)

的是他親身經(jīng)歷的和親眼看到的一切。

1.A?語(yǔ)義理解題。從第2段最后一句話。代enthesewerepresentedbydrawingsandpaintingsfrom

Remington'shand可以看出Remington所畫的內(nèi)容是什么。

2.Bo判斷題。根據(jù)第2段第4句話Nowhebegantowriteaboutandtopaintanddrawwhathesaw,可

以推知。

3.Co語(yǔ)義理解題。根據(jù)...asaboyhelovedhorsesandfedonthejournalsofsomefamouswriters可知

答案為C。（其中的feedon意為“從…得到供養(yǎng)”）

4.Bo判斷題。文章第1句話IfCatlinwasthepainteroftheAmericanIndiansandBierstadtthe

condition.

B.BlainewasbornandbroughtupinEngland.

C.InBlaine'sopinion,peoplecancreateawonder.

D.Blainedidn'thaveanyfoodfor44days.

【答案與解析】本文主要講述美國(guó)魔術(shù)師DavidBlaine多次挑戰(zhàn)人體極限，這次又進(jìn)行了44天的饑

餓實(shí)驗(yàn)。

1.Co推測(cè)題。根據(jù)Hewasthenslowlyreintroducedtofood,aprocessdoctorssaidcouldbelife

threatening可知，進(jìn)食對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)是個(gè)威脅生命的過程。

2.Ao細(xì)節(jié)題。文中說(shuō)attimeshewasunabletosee,是說(shuō)他有時(shí)看不見東西,但并不等于說(shuō)他的眼

睛瞎了。故A的說(shuō)法不符合事實(shí)。

3.Bo推斷題。根據(jù)...buriedinacoffinforoneweek...spent62hoursinagiantblockofice...stoodtheon

topofa25-meterpillarinthecenterofNewYorkfor35hoursbeforejumpingintoapileofboxes等細(xì)節(jié)描寫，

我們可以得出這個(gè)結(jié)論：DavidBlaine喜歡冒險(xiǎn)，當(dāng)然這里面有“勇敢”的成分，但兩者比較一下，可

知Adventurous更佳。故選B。

4.Bo細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)AnativeofBrooklyn,NewYork我們可以知道Blaine是地地道道的美國(guó)人。

一名樂觀的、極富冒險(xiǎn)精神的登山愛好者，沒有放棄“攀爬”加利福尼亞州的近羽英里高的日Capitan

日Capitan,實(shí)現(xiàn)了多年的夙愿。

【答案與解析】本文記述了一個(gè)名叫AlHerpin的怪人，他不需要睡眠，但是沒有確定他為什么可

以不休息。

1.B。主旨題。閱讀全文可知A項(xiàng)與原文意思相反；D項(xiàng)在文中沒有被提到；C項(xiàng)是醫(yī)生們以前的

看法，但后來(lái)發(fā)現(xiàn)并不是所有人都需要睡眠，因此選B。

2.B?細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第1段最后兩句：這有可能是真的嗎？于是醫(yī)生們親自去看，由此可推知

此題答案為B。

時(shí)發(fā)生的有趣的事。

1.Co細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。運(yùn)用排除法:由于文章中說(shuō)HelivedinAustraliaforalongtime,所以可排除A

和B；根據(jù)文章第1句Inthelastfiftyyears...排除選項(xiàng)D。故選C較為恰當(dāng)。

2.Bo細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)KmgoingtogobacktoHungarytovisitmyhometown可知答案是Bo

thentheywentfromRometoBudapestinatrainastheywantedtoseethemountains,andthevillagesand

Sydney到Budapest是先乘飛機(jī)，再坐火車，故選A。

【答案與解析】本文講一個(gè)幸福的男人在早上由他的五個(gè)女兒和妻子服侍的故事。

1.D。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第3段第2句thenheknockedonceonthetable.Oneofmysisterbroughthisbread,

alreadybutteredforhim可知答案為Do

2.Bo判斷題。根據(jù)Iloveyouverymuch,Edith.Iwouldlovemoreifyoubutteredmybreadonbothsides

可知Edith是他女兒的名字。

3.Co判斷題。文中描寫出了五個(gè)女兒早上的忙碌，他們的父親總是不停地讓為她們做事，而且他

的命令只限于幾個(gè)單詞，甚至動(dòng)作，所以應(yīng)該選擇Co

4.Ao推斷題。根據(jù)第3段最后一句Hereadthepaperallthroughthebreakfast以及早飯以后直到上
