參考答案

1.C

2.C

3.C解析：依據(jù)在第二段中，比較隱蔽，根據(jù)“Homosapiensisthoughttohavearrivedintheislandabout4000yearsago,muchtoolatetoberesponsibleforthetools.”可知答案為C項(xiàng)。也可以用排除法，A、B、D三項(xiàng)與文章內(nèi)容矛盾。

4.A答案為A。根據(jù)文章大意及第一段第二句可知。

5.B解析：第三段。從該單詞本身來看：re-前綴，表示反復(fù)；press壓。反復(fù)地壓意味著壓抑、壓制。Crash壓碎、鎮(zhèn)壓。選項(xiàng)B是正確的。

6.A解析：本題問作者不喜歡倫敦的原因，考查的是對文章主旨大意的理解。作者在第一段中說她原來是非常喜歡倫敦的。但是在那兒住了17年以后卻改變了看法。以下四段談到由于看到禮貌、公共場合、安全、親情等幾個方面的變化，她對倫敦感到不那么習(xí)慣了。因此A選項(xiàng)isnotusedtothelifetherenow為正確答案。

7.A解析：通過句子“Thekindofdog’knownasAlsatianhas220millionolfactory(嗅覺)cells．Manhasfivemillion．”進(jìn)行計(jì)算可知答案。

8.B文章第一段提到了將寫作水平差的學(xué)生比做患病的病人，所以正確答案應(yīng)是B項(xiàng)。

9.D41．文章提到的是“二戰(zhàn)”時期的事，因此令人憎恨的、不會弄錯的人物應(yīng)當(dāng)是希特勒。選項(xiàng)D是正確的。

10.A作者在敘述故事時，從男孩本想要頓飯改成一杯水，到婦女給的是牛奶，從醫(yī)生對婦女的特殊照顧到最后的賬單。可以看出，作者想要說的是：好心有好報。A選項(xiàng)正確。

11.C解析：A、B項(xiàng)都是用來說明James本人，而不是其母親。

12.D37．答案為D

此題考查文章句意理解、細(xì)節(jié)定位。略讀文章，發(fā)現(xiàn)在第2段中有adifferentkindofbirdfluvirus．Itiscalledtheh-five-n-onevirus。注意其中的代詞it，它代表adifferentkindofbirdfluvirus，故選D為答案。

13.A解析：參見句子：Asdidmanyotherboysofhisday,Twaindreamedoftravelingonriverboatsandofsomedaybecomingariverboatpilot．

14.D解析：比較第二段和第三段古埃及和中世紀(jì)的歐洲對黑貓的看法截然相反。選項(xiàng)D是正確的。

15.C見原文第一段。RulonGardner，摔跤運(yùn)動員，在奧林匹克運(yùn)動會上獲得冠軍。

16.D解析：本題屬推理分析題。文章最后一段第三句已提示：DotreDame是坐落在小島上。

17.C推理判斷題。

【應(yīng)試指導(dǎo)】由文章第一段最后一句話“當(dāng)他75

歲時，他給村子里的學(xué)校1200英鎊來為學(xué)生操場買地和設(shè)備。”可知，約翰遜非常喜歡孩子。

18.A解析：可通過排除法，通過文章第四段和第五段排除B、C、D選項(xiàng)。

19.D

20.C

21.B解析：本題考查的是推理能力。該題可以從最后一段最后一句得出答案：“壓差越大，風(fēng)越大”。可見大風(fēng)是由于壓力差異造成的。

22.B此題是對主題思想進(jìn)行綜合判斷和概括的考查。其中關(guān)鍵詞為storytells。主題概括題是集評價、總結(jié)為一體。要求考生在理解原文的基礎(chǔ)上做出切題的概括、總結(jié)和評價。解題時不要過于具體或過于籠統(tǒng)。善于從主題段或主題句中發(fā)現(xiàn)中心思想和通過關(guān)鍵詞語把握作者意圖。亦可在完成其他具體解題后，對文章全貌有了大概了解的基礎(chǔ)上再處理此題。通過閱讀全文我們知道那個宰相的要求看似簡單(第1段第3句verylittle，第2段第1句Youdon'taskformuch)，卻使國王負(fù)債于他(第3段第2句thenumberincreased．．，king．．．not．．．keeppromise，最后一段第

1句theking．．．indebt)。故可判斷他是何等的聰明。所以B項(xiàng)是正確答案。

23.B

24.B解析：文中第一段第四行中“…calledSphairistike,atalawnpartyinWales.”可知，1873年這項(xiàng)活動出現(xiàn)在歐洲。

25.D解析：本題考查的是對詞義的猜測能力。通
