makesthebooksoextraordinaryisthecreativeimaginationofthewriter.A．ThatB．WhatC．WhoD．Which答案：B解析：根据isthecreativeimaginationofthewriter可知，

makesthebooksoextraordinary是一个主语从句，作is的主语。同时，从句中，makes缺少主语，因此选择B项（what在名词性从句中充当主语、宾语或者表语），句意为，让这本书非同寻常的是作者具有创造力的想象力。That在名词性从句中不充当任何成分，也没有任何意义。Who在从句中作主语和宾语，意为谁，而该句中指的是书，因此排除C，which在从句中充当主语和宾语，意为哪一个，要有一个选择的范围，放在该题中明显意思不通，故排除D项。【考点定位】考察名词性从句（主语从句)。7.Isendyoubookstoday,therest_____inafewdays.A．followsB．followedC．willfollowD．tofollow答案：D解析：考查独立主格形式。中间为逗号隔开没有连接词，因此考虑独立主格不定式表将来D合适。8.Beforeyoumakeanydecision,you'dbettercompare_____youcanget.

B.theyjustmakeupthestorieswhicharefarfromthetruth

C.theyarenotinteresting

D.theymaketeachersofhistorydifficulttoteach答案：41-45：CBABB解析：本文为论说文，作者驳斥了对神话故事的种种指责和误解。41.C。细节题。根据Itisalwaysmuchbettertotellastorythanreaditoutofabook,and,ifaparentcanproducewhat,intheactualsituationofthetimeandthechild,isanimprovementontheprintedtext,somuchthebetter.可推知此题答案为C。42.B。细节题。根据thisarises(出现)fromthechildhavingheardthestoryonce.可推知此题答案为B。43.A。细节题。根据Familiaritywiththestorybyrepetitionturnsthepainoffearintothepleasureofafearfacedandmastered.可以得出此答案。44.B。推断题。有些人认为神话不现实，都是教孩子一些不存在的东西，会对孩子有不好的影响。作者用虚拟语气作了一个假设，如果这些观点站得住脚的话，可能会出现这样的情况：theworldshouldbefullofmadmenattemptingtoflyfromNewYorktoPhiladelphiaonastickorcoveringatelephonewithkissesinthebeliefthatitwastheirbelovedgirl-friend.可见持这种观点的人实际上是对神话的一种误解。45.B。推断题。根据…notobjectivelytrue,donotexist可知有些人不赞成神话故事的原因是这些故事是编出来的，远离现实。故选B。28.WhenAlicecameto,shedidnotknowhowlongshe______there.答案：A29.假设你参加了你校组织的“关爱生命

D.toshowlawisthemaininstrumentofsocialchange.答案：小题1:A小题2:A小题3:D小题4:B小题5:A解析：作者采取先对比、后分析的写作手法。先是今人和古罗马人对暴虐体育上对此两者都欣赏。后者坦率成人“欣赏暴力体育”，前者施以各种接口、实际都是嗜血成性者。第二段进一步剖析今人欣赏暴虐体育的种种实例，最后指出改善“暴虐”的根本嗜为改善法律采取积极的步骤，法律才能施以巨大的文明影响，否则人类很难改变。答案详解小题1:不太高。文章一开始就点出科技巨大进步，而其他方面进展很少。人们以轻蔑的口气谈及可怜的古罗马人，因为他们欣赏竞技场上的屠杀。我们轻视他们，因为他们把这些屠杀视为娱乐。我们可以降阶/屈尊地谅解他们，因为他们生活在2000年前，显然，对好的东西不知道。在这里作者反问，我们的优越感是否正确呢？我们的嗜血性是不是少一些？为什么拳击比赛吸引那么许多人？在场的观赏者（观众）是不是也希望看到一些暴力呢？结论是：人类和过去一样残忍。唯一的不同点在于古罗马人很诚实，他们承认他们欣赏观看饥饿的狮子把人撕碎，活生生吃掉，而我们会找出各种精辟的理由来保卫早该制止的运动。第二段举出具体例子，如斗牛、拳击中把人打瘫在地、车赛中，车子碰撞起火，人们就坐在那里观看欣赏，参赛者是为了高报酬，观众付出大笔钱财是为了看到暴力。作者指出任何体育精神的说法纯粹是虚伪。如果一场打比赛（世界重量级冠军赛），两轮而不是十五轮就告结束，成千上百万人们会感到失望――这些都证明人的卑下，不文明。这两段似乎也证明作者的观点应该是C项――蔑视的。但在第三段谈及，好几个世纪以来，人们一直试图在精神上和情感上改善自己，又得承认不怎么成功。可至少我们不再容忍疯人禁锢于笼中，当众鞭挞，以及其他许多过去普遍存在的野蛮行径。监狱也不再是过去那种令人窒息的禁锢之地，社会福利制度在全世界许多地方推行。在财富公平分配上也作了很大的努力。这些变化的出现不是因为人突然改善，而是在改变法律上采取了积极的步骤。如果我们禁止危险的暴力体育项目，那么我们在改善人类方面又前进了一步。我们会认识暴力是人类的堕落和卑下（人类不应有的）。从这段来看，作者对人类还抱有希望，不是很蔑视。所以选A项。小题2:法律应禁止堕落而又危险的体育项目。见第一题注释。作者从古罗马人欣赏残忍的体育项目说起，点出现代人也是嗜血成性，喜欢暴力体育项目。这是不文明，是堕落。必须制止，而法律是我们社会改革最强大的工具，它可应用，发挥强大的文明影响（第三段倒数第三句）B.人们愿意支付巨大款项来观看暴力。这是作者说明“嗜血成性”的具体内容之一。C.对比对危险体育项目不同的态度。这里没有对比。D.人类嗜血成性。这是作者认为人们为什么欣赏危险残忍体育项目的根源。小题3:人们在体育上习惯于“嗜血成性”，过去是，现在仍然是，不同点只是前者坦直承认，后者婉转掩饰。见第一题注释。A.把古罗马人和现代人对比。这项没有说明对比什么。B.给出一个例子。太抽象。C.说明过去人类不太知道更美好的东西，这两项都没有到位。小题4:5个。作者提到⑴逗熊游戏；⑵斗牛；⑶车赛；⑷拳击；⑸人狮斗。至于当众鞭挞和绞刑不能称作体育活动。小题5:通过制止野蛮体育项目，我们能改善人类自身。这在第三段讲的最透彻，见第一题和第二题注释。B.通过制止野蛮体育活动，我们能改善法律，不完全对。作者明确指出要用法律来禁止野蛮体育项目。C.我们必须采取积极步骤来改善社会福利体制。D.去表明法律是社会变革的主要工具49.ThequalityofTVprogramsseem
