D.PeopleshouldtelltheirrealnamestoothersonQQ.  【答案及解析】  1.选D。由第1段的句子…Infact,Jeanisquitelonely.可知答案选D。  2.选A。Jean认为David幽默风趣,在摇滚乐和现代舞上和她有共同的兴趣,他们可以在网上快乐地聊上几个小时。很显然David使得Jean很开心。答案选A。  3.选C。文章的最后一句…shefoundthatherspecialfriendwasatwelve-year-oldboynamedJim!告诉我们,当Jean发现她那特殊的朋友是一个12岁的小孩时,用了一个感叹号结尾,虽然作者没有直接说Jean感到惊讶,但是我们可以从这个标点符号推断出她的感觉应该是十分surprised(惊讶的)。  4.选A。本文讲述Jean交了个十分投缘的网友,后来却发现对方原来只是一个12岁的小男孩。通过这个故事,短文意在告戒人们不要轻易相信Q友,答案选A。2 LindaEvanswasmybestfriend—likethesisterIneverhad.Wedideverythingtogether:pianolessons,movies,swimming,horsebackriding.

A.forabout40years  B.forabout27years  C.sincetheygotmarried  D.sincethewriter’sfamilymovedaway  【答案及解析】  1.选D。开始的时候作者与Linda总是一起去上钢琴课、看电影、游泳、骑马等,但后来在作者13岁的时候,作者一家搬走了,两人只能通过书信联系。比较四个选项,显然只能选D。..\n  2.选B。根据文章第2段中的Soonwewerebusywithchildrenandmovingtonewhomes,andwewrotelessoften根据文可知,她们之所以没经常写信,是因为她们要忙于照顾孩子,又要搬新家,也就是说,她们没有时间写信。  3.选D。根据文章第3段内容可知答案。  4.选B。真正让作者感到高兴的是当她在电话上听到老朋友Linda的声音的时候。而读到报纸的时候和写信的时候都还只是在猜测,那时还谈不上高兴。  5.选A。根据文章最后一段中的MinuteslaterIheardavoicethatIknewverymuch,evenafter40years可知,答案选A。3Amanwenttoseehisdoctoroneday,becausehewassufferingfrompainsinhisstomach.Afterthedoctorhadexaminedhimcarefully,hesaidtohim,“Well,there’snothingreallywrongwithyou,I’mgladtosay.Youronlytroubleisthatyouworrytoomuch.Doyouknow,Ihadamanwiththesametroubleasyouhereafewweeksago,andIgavehimthesameadviceasIamgoingtogiveyou.Hewasworriedbecausehecouldn’tpayhistailor’sbills.Itoldhimnottoworryaboutthebillsanymore.Hetookmyadviceandwhenhecametoseemeagaintwodaysago,hetoldmethathenowfeltquiteallrightagain.”“Yes,Iknowallaboutthat,”answeredthepatientsadly.“Yousee,I’mthatman’stailor!”  根据以上短文内容判断正误,正确的用“T”表示,错误的用“F”表示。  1.Thetailorwenttoseehisdoctorbecausehehasgotaheadache.  2.Thereisnothingseriouswiththetailor.  3.Amanwiththesametroubleasthetailorafewdaysago.  4.Thedoctorgavethemanandthetailorthesameadvice.  5.Thetailorwasworriedbecauseamancouldn’tpayhisbills.  【答案及解析】  1.选F。根据第1句Amanwenttoseehisdoctoroneday,becausehewassufferingfrompainsinhisstomach可知本题是错误的。  2.选T。根据…thereisnothingreallywrongwithyou(tailor)可知裁缝的身体并没有什么大碍,故可判断此题与短文内容相符。  3.选F。根据句子Doyouknow,Ihadamanwiththesametroubleasyouhereafewweeksago可知本题所叙述的时间与短文内容不一致,因此可判断此题是错误的。  4.选T。根据…andIgavehimthesameadviceasIamgoingtogiveyou可知答案。..\n  5.选T。通读全文我们可知:上一个病人是担心他自己不能付钱给他的裁缝,而这个裁缝的病因却是因为担心那个人不能付钱给他的。4 Notmanyyearsago,somefarmerswereworriedbecausehawksweretakingmanyoftheirchicken.Thefarmersdidn’tknowwhattodo.Finallytheywenttothecountryofficialsandaskedforhelp.  “Killthehawks,”theofficialssaid,“Wewillevenpayforthem,”sothefarmersbegantothinkofwaystokillthehawks.

A.teachersshouldbestrictwiththeirstudents  B.mistakingmightdogoodsometimes  C.acatholicschoolismuchbetterthanotherones  D.nunsaregoodathelpingchildrenwiththeirmath..\n  【答案及解析】  1.选C。文章第1段说Tommy数学学不好,其父母想尽了一切办法都不奏效,最后将他送进了一所天主教的教会学校。  2.选D。认真阅读第2段前面几句话,并注意以下信息:Afterthefirstday,littleTommycamehome…didn’tkisshismotherhello…washardatwork…withoutaword.可知答案应选D。  3.选A。根据文章大意和Finally,littleTommybroughthomehisreportcard.Hequietlyputitonthetableandwentuptohisroomandhitthebooks这个句子的语境,可知hitthebooks的意思是“用功”。  4.选B。Tommy学习一直不用功,但自从进了这所catholicschool之后,情况就不一样了——整天都发狠读书,结果数学考试也得了A。这是为什么呢?文章在最后道出了其原因:Well,onthefirstdayofschool,whenIsawthatmannailed(钉)totheplussign(加号),Iknewtheyweren’tjoking.由此可知,Tommy是担心学习不用功会被钉在十字架上。  5.选B。Tommy把themannailedtotheplussign误解为“学习不用功的结果”,从而一改自己原来不好学的不良习惯,很快就把数学成绩赶了上去。可见,误解有时也可以起到好的效果。7Haveyoueverheardofagirlof15,whosetupacompanyofherown?WendyWongisthegirl.Shestartedthebusinesstwoyearsago.Shehasalreadywrittenseveralsuccessfulcomputergames.Theyaresopopularthatoverhalfamilliongamesaresoldeveryyear.Nowallofherfamilyworkinherbusiness,andsheisstillatschool.

B.Thewriterregrettedthatshehadreturnedthewallet.  C.Thewriterdidn’treturnthewalletuntiltheownercameback.  D.Thewriterfellveryhappyaftershereturnedthewallet.  【答案及解析】  1.选C。由于作者并未打开钱包,更没有从中取出什么,所以说Nothinginthewalletwasmissing。  2.选B。根据文章最后一段中的Thinkingaboutitlater,IbeganwonderingwhetherIwouldhavebeenhonestifIhadknownwhatwasinthewallet!IthoughtthatifIhadnowaytofindtheownerandnoonereturnedtogetit,Imightkeepit可排除选项C和D。比较选项A和B,再结合文章大意,选B为佳。  3.选B。此题可用排除法来做:根据第1段最后两句Hetookoutatwenty-dollarbillandhandedittomeandIwasamazedatthis.“Arewardforyourhonesty,”hesaidandthenturnedandwalkedaway可知选项A与文章内容相符;选项B的意思是“作者直到失主返回来才将钱包还给他”,这显然与文章内容相符;根据第2段最后一句话Thegoodfeelingitgavemewasworthmorethananythingcouldbuy可知,选项D也与文章内容相符。10AfriendofminenamedPaulreceivedanexpensivecarfromhisbrotherasaChristmaspresent.OnChristmasEvewhenPaulcameoutofhisoffice,astreeturchinwaswalkingaroundtheshiningcar.“Isthisyourcar,sir?”heasked.

A.AChristmasPresentB.Paul,aKind-heartedPerson  C.ABrotherLikeThatD.AnUnforgettableHolidayRide  【答案及解析】  1.选B。根据第2段中的Paulanswered,“Yes,mybrothergaveittomeforChristmas.”Theboywassurprised.可知答案为B。..\n  2.选A。Theurchin指着Paul的车对他的弟弟说:“AndsomedayI’mgoingtogiveyouonejustlikeit…”所以theurchin希望也能给他弟弟一辆车。  3.选D。Theurchin要Paul把车停在他家门前后,立即扶着他残疾的弟弟出来,让他看看Paul的车,然后告诉弟弟他想为他做的事,所以他只是想告诉他弟弟他的愿望。  4.选C。Theurchin在坐过Paul的车后没有忘记弟弟,并且承诺也要给弟弟买一辆车,可见他对弟弟有着一份深深的爱。答案选C,而A、B、D三项与文章不符。  5.选C。通读全文,我们不得不为Theurchin的行为所感动,他是一个好哥哥。文章就是讲述了他这样的一位好哥哥,C选项最合适。11 LastFridayastormsweptthroughtwovillagesintheNewTerritories,destroyingfourteenhomes.Sevenothersweresobadlydamagedthattheirownershadtoleavethem,andfifteenothershadbrokenwindowsorbrokenroofs.

A.ATerribleStormB.ALuckyWoman  C.GoodSoldiersD.CleverPeople  【答案及解析】  1.D。根据第一段出现的三个数字14,7,15即可知D为正确答案。  2.B。根据“Iwaseatingwithmywifeandchildren.”可排除A和D,由下文可知C也不合题意。  3.C。答案即在即在…shefeltthatherhousewasmoving中。  4.D。考虑全文意思及最末一段,可知暴风雨过后,房屋倒塌,人员伤亡。人们不仅需要食品、衣物,还需要住的地方。  5.A。这篇阅读材料主要描述了暴风雨袭击的过程。显然选项A是本文的主旨。12 Weknowthemosquitoverywell.Mosquitoesflyeverywhere.Theycanbefoundalmostallovertheworld,andtherearemorethan2,500kindsofthem.

D.Allthemosquitoesdon’tliketobitepeopleforblood.  【答案及解析】  1.D。“吸血”和“会飞”是mosquitoes的两个主要特征。根据这两个特点,联系生活常识,即可选定答案。另外,读罢全文之后,也能将其余选项予以排除。  2.B。“Weknowthemosquitoverywell.Mosquitoesflyeverywhere.”一句是答案的出处。  3.D。答案就在“Butifshedoesn’tlikeyourblood,shewillturntosomeoneelseformoredeliciousblood.”这句话之中。  4.C。答案的依据是“…shelandsonyourbodywithoutlettingyouknow.Shebitesyousoquicklyandquietlythatyoumaynotfeelanythingdifferent.”一句。  5.B。其余三项在文中都有明确的说明。根据上面那个小题的内容,B项明显是错误的。..\n13DuringallthistimeIneverstoppedthinkingaboutescape.WhenItraveledacrosstotheothersideoftheisland,Icouldseetheotherislands,andIsaidtomyself,“PerhapsIcangettherewithaboat.PerhapsIcangetbacktoEnglandoneday.”  SoIdecidedtomakemyselfaboat.Icutdownabigtree,andthenbegantomakealongholeinit.Itwashardwork,butaboutsixmonthslater,Ihadaveryfinecanoe(独木舟).Next,Ihadtogetitdowntothesea.HowsillyIwas!Whydidn'tIthinkbeforeIbeganwork?Ofcourse,thecanoewastooheavy.Icouldn'tmoveit!Ipulledandpushedandtriedeverything,butitdidn'tmove.Iwasveryunhappyforalongtimeafterthat.
