look forward to the weekend only to realize that they will not be able to do anything fun because they have to go grocery shopping for their family.However,fresh food markets provide an opportunity to combine the two.Going to the grocery store is a hassle,and pushing through crowded aisles(过道) and waiting in line at the cashier is never any fun.To avoid those problems,many individuals want to do their shopping in the fresh air and experience atmosphere of farmer markets.While the grocery store probably offers more goods than a fresh food market,for most,shopping for food there always feels like a tiring job.In addition to lots of tasty foods,outdoor markets will also have other activities to keep people entertained with live music,cooking contests,and games for kids to play.This means that shopping there is more likely to be a fun weekend destination.Farm markets are also a great option for anybody who is looking to eat better to lose weight.An organic farmers market will provide almost entirely foods that have not had dangerous chemicals added to them for growth or preserves.Eating fruits and vegetables regularly as part of a diet is a must for people looking to drop a few pounds,but if they are not fresh and delicious,it can be hard to do so.This means that seizing some great goods from the outdoor market on the weekend is a good idea for anybody who is aware of health and weight.Also,eating local foods can help support the local economy.In the unstable economic times of today,many local growers and farmers are struggling to stay alive,especially if they are competing against larger companies.So by heading to farm markets,shoppers are not only able to get great foods and a pleasant experience,but also help out other members of their community.21.What does the underlined word “hassle” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Trouble.B.Pleasure.C.Project.D.Step.答案:A解析:词义猜测题。根据画线处后一句“and pushing through crowded aisles and waiting in line at the cashier is never any fun.”穿梭于拥挤的过道,收银台前排队等待付款也都没趣。and为并列连词,其前后的意思应该为一致的,故选A项。22.What do most people think of grocery store shopping?A.It is easier and happier.B.It is more attractive and practical.C.It is more interesting and relaxing.D.It is more boring and less entertaining.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的首句可知,在杂货店购物的乐趣比农贸市场更少。23.What can be known from Paragraph 3?A.Foods in farmer markets look special.B.Farmer markets have become popular.C.Farmer markets help keep people healthier.D.Farmer markets aim at healthy customers.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的全段的内容,特别是首句及末句可知,吃了农贸市场的东西能让人更健康。24.What could be the best title for the passage?A.Developmental Trends of MarketsB.Benefits of Farmer MarketsC.Disadvantages of Grocery MarketsD.Introduction of the Future Shopping答案:B解析:主旨大意题。全文主要讲述了农贸市场购物的好处,那里提供乐趣及农业经验,吃了那里的食物还能让人更健康。B导学号62554026The Tang Dynasty was probably the period when the Silk Road was at its busiest.One important centre on the road was the city of Changan,where present-day Xian now stands.Changan was the capital city of this dynasty and by about 750 AD it had become a strong and successful capital of around two million people.Because of the chances for trade,a number of foreigners from countries bordering China lived in the city.The markets at this time in Changan were perhaps the most exciting markets anywhere in the world.They sold goods from India,Africa,Japan,Korea,Turkey,Iran and other Arab countries and many items in the markets would have been completely new to some of the buyers.Interesting animals were sold together with exotic(奇异的)plants and strange medicines.Dried animals,dried foods and dried plants were laid out for sale next to rare seeds and spices(香料).But besides the hope to trade,which drew people together,China was still largely a mysterious country to the outside world and certainly the secret of making silk was still unknown.The route(路线)to the west followed different paths but the traders would have travelled from places to places,always looking for routes both to water and protection.However,the Ming Dynasty had its policy of isolation(闭关) and reduced the traffic along this ancient land route.Instead,sea routes became more popular and in the early 15th century there were many Chinese ships trading silk and other goods along the coasts of India,Arabia and Africa.25.This passage mainly tells us .A.the silk trade in the pastB.the rise and fall of the Silk RoadC.the hard life the traders lived on the Silk RoadD.why sea routes became popular in the early 15th century答案:B解析:主旨大意题。从每一段的首句可以看出,本文讲的是丝绸之路的兴衰史。26.It is probable that many dried goods were sold in the market because .A.the market traders could store them for longer time and sell them more easilyB.they could be stored and transported more easily by the traders on the Silk RoadC.they could be transported far more easily by traders from different countriesD.they were lighter for the camels to carry wherever the traders wanted to go答案:B解析:推理判断题。从第三段可知丝绸之路很漫长,由此可推知交易的干货多是因为干货易于贮存和运输。27.By saying “China was still largely a mysterious country to the outside world”,the author refers to the fact that .A.a large part of China was mysterious to the outside worldB.China was a large country that was totally unknown to the outside worldC.to a great extent China was little known or understood by the outside worldD.most of China was misunderstood by the outside world答案:C解析:句意理解题。这句话指的是当时在很大程度上中国对于外面的世界来说是很神秘的这样的一个事实。28.What does the underlined word “mysterious” mean?A.ampleB.wonderfulC.livelyD.secret答案:D解析:词义猜测题。从“China was still largely a mysterious country to the outside world and certainly the secret of making silk was still unknown.”看出此处 mysterious是“神秘的”之意。CIn 1974,the Chinese made an amazing discoverythe stories about Emperor Qin and his great army.An army of more than 8000 soldiers made of terra cotta(赤土陶器),baked reddish clay,is buried beneath the earth not far from the tomb where Emperor Qin is believed to be buried.Farmers digging a well in a field struck the head of a terra-cotta soldier.News of the discovery quickly spread,and archaeologists rushed to the site.After much effort was spent drilling core samples from the earth,archaeologists learned that about 8000 terra-cotta warriors were buried beneath the ground.So far,archaeologists have dug up and pieced together about 1000 of the soldiers.Also uncovered were about 1000 wooden war chariots(二轮战车),about 600 life-size terra-cotta horses,and thousands of weapons.The soldiers stand about six feet tall,and each appears to have his own individual personality.“Theyre all different,every single one of them,”says Dr Donald Wood,the curator(馆长) of Asian Art at the Birmingham Museum of Art in Alabama.“Each soldier has his own characteristics.Some are almost smiling;some look very serious.Each has his own little mustache and little changes to his hairstyle.”Dr Wood says that the workers who made the soldiers may have modeled themselves after the real soldiers of Emperor Qins army.The terra-cotta horses buried alongside the soldiers also have their own facial expressions.The weapons the soldiers carried didnt just look realthey were real.The arrows,swords,and crossbows are made up of special combinations of metals.They are as sharp today as they were twenty-two centuries ago.Visitors to China can see the special army in three museums built above the site.And they can look to the tree-covered Mount Li nearby and reflect on all the discoveries that are yet to be uncovered.29.What could be the best title for the passage?A.The Terra-cotta Army of Emperor QinB.The Discovery of Emperor Qins TombC.The Museums for Terra-cotta SoldiersD.The Golden Period of Qin Dynasty答案:A解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者在文中主要讲述了兵马俑的发现,以及俑坑中的陶土士兵和兵器,故选A项。30.With the terra-cotta warriors discovered,the archaelogists .A.felt greatly sorry of our ancestorsB.were indeed astonished to some degreeC.knew they could dig up the emperors tombD.concluded there were treasures underneath答案:B解析:推理判断题。根据据第二段的archaeologists rushed to the site和about 8000 terra-cotta warriors were buried可以推断出,当探测有大量的陶俑士兵埋在地下时,考古学家一定感到不可思议,故选B项。31.What can you see if you pay a visit to the museum?A.8000 terra-cotta warriors and 1000 wooden war chariots.B.1000 terra-cotta soldiers and 1000 life-size terra-cotta horses.C.600 life-size terra-cotta horses and 1000 wooden war chariots.D.8000 terra-cotta warriors and 600 life-size terra-cotta horses.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据二、三段可知,8000个陶俑士兵并没有全部挖掘出来,出土的则是1000名陶俑士兵、1000辆木制的战车,600只战马,由此可知选项C正确。32.What can we know according to Dr Wood?A.The soldiers are about six feet in height.B.The soldiers look quite similar in some ways.C.The soldiers were made according to the living.D.The soldiers wear the same mustache and hairstyle.答案:C解析:细节理解题。根据第五段的第一句可知,制陶工人们可能是模仿着自己的样子制作了这些兵马俑,故选C项。DParenting has
