A.It’shelpfultofollowother’sadvice.B.Don’tdosomethingbadtothesmallanimals.C.Workinghardisimportant.D.Nothingisdifficultintheworld.【篇章導(dǎo)讀】這篇寓言故事講述的是：蜘蛛不聽蟲子的意見而一意孤行，最終葬身在收割機(jī)的下面。本文講述了這樣一個(gè)道理：不論何時(shí)，我們都應(yīng)該虛心地聽取別人有價(jià)值的意見，盲目自大只會讓自己陷入困難?！倦y句解讀】（第二段第二句）Ifyouletmego,Iwilltellyousomethingimportantthatwillsaveyourlife.如果你放了我，我就告訴你一個(gè)能救你命的重要的信息。這是一個(gè)多重復(fù)合句。該句整體是“If+條件狀語從句，主句”結(jié)構(gòu)。在主句中，that引導(dǎo)的定語從句“thatwillsaveyourlife”作后置定語，修飾先行詞something。【答案解析】1.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段““Ifyouletmego,Iwilltellyousomethingimportantthatwillsaveyourlife.””可知，蟲子希望能用這條重要的信息換自己的一條命，讓蜘蛛放了它。2.B推理判斷題。由第五段“Ihavelivedhereallofmylife,andtheownerhasnevercomehere.”可知，蜘蛛根本就不相信蟲子的話，因?yàn)樗f的這種事情之前從沒發(fā)生過。3.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第五段最后一句話“Andthenthespideratethelittlebugforlunch.”可知，蜘蛛最后還是吃掉了蟲子。因此“Thespiderhaditforameal.”是正確的。4.C推理判斷題。由最后一段描述可知，蜘蛛已經(jīng)看到收割莊稼的機(jī)器開了過來。因此判斷，最后的結(jié)局是蜘蛛被碾在機(jī)器下面。5.A主旨大意題。理解全文可知，蜘蛛沒有聽從蟲子的建議，在農(nóng)民收莊稼之前沒有及時(shí)轉(zhuǎn)移，結(jié)果是命喪機(jī)器之下。因此本文得到的教訓(xùn)是“It’shelpfultofollowother’sadvice.”（3）Whentheman’swifedied,theiryoungestbabywas2yearsold.Theyhadsixotherchildren–threeboysandthreegirls,agedfrom4to16.Theman’sparentsandhiswife’sparentscametovisitthem.“We’vebeentalkingabouthowtomakethiswork,”theysaid.“There’snowayyoucantakecareofallthesechildrenandworktomakealiving.So,we’vedecidedtoplaceeachchildwithadifferentuncleandaunt.”Themanrefused.Overthenextfewweeks,hemovedthefamilytoatinytownandhisbusinessdevelopedquickly.Peoplecamefromfarawaytodobusinesswithhim.Andthechildrenhelpedhimbothathomeandatwork.Thechildrengrewupandgotmarried.Fiveofthesevenwentofftocollege.Thechildren’ssuccesswasasourceofpridetothefather.Finally,theyoungestdaughter,whowas2yearsoldwhenthemotherdied,gotmarried.Withhislife’sworkdone,thefatherdied.Thisman’sworkhadbeenthelonelybutjoyfultaskofraisinghisfamily.Thismanwasmyfather.Iwasthe16-year-old,theoldestofseven.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。1.Therewere______childrenintheman’sfamily.A.fiveB.sixC.seven

é)可知，寶石學(xué)家有意考驗(yàn)?zāi)贻p人，年輕人也經(jīng)受住了考驗(yàn)。因此判斷，他會成為一個(gè)寶石大師。4.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第三段“Amonthwentby,andtheyoungmanfeltmoreandmoreboring”可知，年輕人每天只是拿著石頭不做事，這種枯燥的活動持續(xù)了一個(gè)月。5.C主旨大意題。本文通過年輕人拜師學(xué)藝的過程可知，凡事只要堅(jiān)持到底，就會有所收獲。因此“Keepon,andyoucangetyouwhatyouwant.”是我們從故事中領(lǐng)悟到的真諦。（7）Inasmallvillagetherelivedalazyman.Hewoulddonothingalldaybutdaydream.Wheneverhewashungry,hewouldgoout,askforfood,comebackandhangout.Onesunnyafternoon,hewasveryhungry.Withgreatdifficulty,hegotapotofmilkfromoneofhisneighbors.Hetookthispotandstarteddaydreamingagain.“Itisthispotofmilkthatisgoingtomakemerich,”hethought.“Icanmakebutterfromthemilk.ThenIgotothemarketandsellit,”hisdreamwenton.“WiththemoneyIget,Iwillbuyacoupleofgoats.Theywillhavekidsaftersixmonths.SoonIwouldhavealargenumberofgoats.”“ThenIwillbuysomemorecowsandhaveafarmhouse.Iwillstartadairyfarm(奶牛場).…”themankeptsmilingtohimself.“HowsmartIam,”hethought.Lostinhisminds,hispotfelldown,anddrenchedhimselfinmilk.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇正確答案。1.Weknowthefactthatthemanhadtroublein_____.A.havingfriendsB.findingajobC.makingdreamsD.gettingfood2.Whatdidthemandoafterhegotthepotofmilk?A.Hemadehisdaydream.B.Hesolditformoney.C.Hedrankit.D.Hedroppedit.3.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“drench”meaninChinese?A.滿足B.丟失C.濺濕D.生產(chǎn)4.Whatdoyouthinkoftheman?A.Lazy.B.Poor.C.Happy.D.Smart.5.Wecaninfer(推斷出)fromthestorythattheman_____.A.becamerichintheendB.didnothingC.ownedabigfarmD.raisedlotsofgoats【篇章導(dǎo)讀】本文講述的是：一個(gè)人整日無所事事，就是愛做白日夢，結(jié)果一事無成。故事的結(jié)局警示人們：人不能沒有理想，但如果只有理想而沒有行動，那理想也就成了空想?！敬鸢附馕觥?.D推理判斷題。由第二段“Withgreatdifficulty,hegotapotofmilkfromoneofhisneighbors.”可知，這個(gè)人費(fèi)了好大的功夫從鄰居那兒討得了牛奶。因此可知，…themanhadtroubleingettingfood.2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段“Hetookthispotandstarteddaydreamingagain.”可知，這個(gè)人端著牛奶開始做發(fā)財(cái)夢。3.C詞義猜測題。聯(lián)系上文可知，這個(gè)人的牛奶瓶掉到了地上，因此判斷，牛奶濺到了他的身上。因此猜測，drench意為“濺濕”。4.A推理判斷題。由故事開頭以及下文對這個(gè)人的細(xì)節(jié)描述可知，這個(gè)人很懶，就會做白日夢。5.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)這個(gè)人懶惰成性的個(gè)性特征推斷，他養(yǎng)活自己都很困難，不會做成什么事情。（8）Foryears,myclassmatesmadefunofmyhair,callingit“themop(拖把)”.AfterIwenttouniversityIdecidedtochangemyhairstyle.Iwenttothebarbershoptomakemycurlyhairstraight.Itcost$700(4,265yuan)everysixmonths.Tome,Iwoulddoanythingtoneveragainseethatcurly-hairedgirlinthemirror.ButwhenIhadtorentmyownapartment,thecostbecametoohigh.Intheend,Ifounda“curlyhaired”salon,aplacedesignedforgirlswithcrazyhair.“Doyoureallythinkthiswillwork?”Iasked.“Nocurlyhairishopeless,”shereplied.“Youjusthaven’tfoundawaytoworkwithit.That’sall.”Afterthehourwasover,Jacquaifinishedherjob.Shefixedmyhairusingonlyherhands.Icouldn’tbelieveit:myhairlookedbeautiful.Nowmyworldhaschanged.Iammoreoutgoingandconfident(自信的)thanever.PeoplesaythatI’mlookingbetterthaneverbutthattheycan’tseewhatchanged.Idon’tneedtotellthem.Myhairspeaksforitself.1.Howmuchdiditcostmetomakehercurlyhairstraighteveryyear?A.$700B.$1400C.$4,265yuanD.$85302.Infact,makingmycurlyhairstraight______.A.wasexpensiveanduselessB.wascheapandhelpfulC.washelpfulbutexpensiveD.wascrazybutnecessary3.WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaboutthewriter’shair?A.Shehateditandtriedherbesttomakeitstraight.B.Herclassmatesthoughtitwasnaturallybeautiful.C.Shelovedchangingherhairintodifferentkindsofstyles.D.Sheenjoyedseeingacurly-hairedgirlinthemirror.4.AfterIhadmyhairdoneinthe“curlyhaired”salon,______.A.IwantedotherstonoticeitB.IrealizedthathairisjusthairC.IbegantoacceptmynaturalbeautyD.IfeltsorrythatIdidn’tvisitthesalonearlier5.Whatcanwelearnfromthestory?A.Everythinggoodcomesfrombeingconfident.B.Peopleshouldbeconfidentabouttheirlooks.C.Lookinggoodcanhelpusbuildconfidence.D.Acceptourselvesandliveourlifewithconfidence.【篇章導(dǎo)讀】長期以來，作者對自己的滿頭卷發(fā)很是糾結(jié)，老想著將它拉直變美。后來進(jìn)了一家卷發(fā)沙龍，才明白了，其實(shí)自然的美才是真正的美。【答案解析】1.B數(shù)字計(jì)算題。由第二段“Itcost$700(4,265yuan)everysixmonths.”可知，作者半年做頭發(fā)的費(fèi)用是700美元，因此計(jì)算得出，全年的費(fèi)用大概是1400美元。2.C推理判斷題。第二段中提到“…tomakemycurlyhairstraight.”,由此可知，在這家理發(fā)店把頭發(fā)拉直，達(dá)到了她預(yù)期的效果；而下文提到由于還要租房子，這使得做頭發(fā)的費(fèi)用有些吃不消。故washelpfulbutexpensive符合原文這一細(xì)節(jié)。3.A推理判斷題。B、C兩項(xiàng)在原文中沒有描述，第二段中“…toneveragainseethatcurly-hairedgirlinthemirror.”只要在鏡子里看不到自己的卷發(fā)，什么都愿意做，因此D項(xiàng)是錯(cuò)誤的，只有A項(xiàng)與原文一致：作者對自己的卷發(fā)不滿意，不惜一切改變它。4.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后兩段細(xì)節(jié)描述可知，作者不再討厭自己的卷發(fā)，變得自信。因此Ibegantoacceptmynaturalbeauty符合語境。5.D主旨大意題。本文中作者經(jīng)歷了討厭自己的卷發(fā)，然后接受現(xiàn)實(shí)，追求自然這樣一個(gè)變化，讓我們從中領(lǐng)悟到：我們應(yīng)該坦然地接受眼前的一切，樹立自信，熱愛生活。（9）MysonJoeywasbornwithclubfeet(畸形足).Thedoctorstoldushewouldbeabletowalknormally---butwouldneverrunverywell.Thefirstthreeyearsofhislifewerespentinsurgery(手術(shù))andbraces(支架).Bythetimehewas8,youwouldn’tknowhehadaproblemwhenyousawhimwalk.Thechildreninourneighborhoodranaround,asmostchildrendo,andJoeywouldplaytoo.Wenevertoldhimthatheprobablywouldn’tbeabletorunaswellastheotherchildren.Sohedidn’tknow.Inseventhgradehedecidedtotryoutforthecross-countryteam.Everydayhetrainedwiththeteam.Althoughthewholeteamruns,onlythetopsevenrunnershavethepotentialtoscorepointsfortheschool.Wedidn’ttellhimheprobablywouldnevermaketheteam,sohedidn’tknow
