6—10BACAB11—15DBABB

16—20CBACD解析：1.细节题。根据第1段中的Butwhatisuniqueaboutthisshoeiswhereitwasfound.ItwasdiscoveredontheCheckoutPass,thefamoustrail…可推知此题答案为B。2.细节题。根据第2段最后一句Unpreparedforsuchadangerousjourney可推知此题答案为D。3.推断题。根据第2段最后一句及第3段第1句可推知此题答案为A。4.细节题。根据文章最后一句可推知此题答案为C。5.推断题。根据Charles所说的Saying‘no’toothersmeansyouaresaying‘yes’toyourself(否定他人就意味着肯定自己)可推知此题答案为D。6.推断题。根据SusieWatson所说的Iwouldratherhavesomeonegivemealoving‘no’(我倒愿意听一声有爱意的否定)可推知此题答案为B。7.推断题。对文章倒数第5段最后一句Myadviceistosay‘yes’onlyifyoudon’tmean‘no’.反过来理解：只有当你不肯定的时候说“不”，可推知此题答案为A。8.推断题。从文章最后一段Charles所说的Don’tgotoextremes.Don’tfindyourselfsaying‘no’toeverything可知，不然的话就会遇到麻烦，故此题答案为C。9.细节题。根据AcharacteristicofAmericanculturethathasbecomealmostatraditionistorespecttheself-made

我们可以了解到，“崇尚自我奋斗”是美国文化的特点。10.推断题。根据Thisattitudetowardmanual(体力的)laborisnowstillseeninmanyaspectsofAmericanlife.(在美国生活的方方面面，尊重体力劳动态度的现象仍然随处可见)，可以推断女主人亲自下厨，是因为她以能做这样的体力活而自豪。11.词义猜测题。waitontable意为“服务顾客”，注意其后的washingdishes也有一定的暗示意义，故答案为D。12.主旨题。纵观全文，文章主要讲了美国崇尚自我奋斗，尊重体力劳动的文化习惯。故答案为B。13.细节题。根据文章星期五活动安排的第1句JAZZwiththeMikeThomasJazzBandatTheDerbyArms.可推知此题答案为A。14.细节题。根据星期六活动安排最后一句theelectricaccordionTel:789—4536可推知此题答案为B。15.细节题。根据星期六活动安排第4行FAMILYnightout?Jointhesing-alongatTheBlackHorse.可推知此题答案为B。16.细节题。根据星期天活动安排最后3段可知FOLKMUSIC在TheDerbyArms演出，而TheDerbyArms的地址是UpperRichmondRoadWest.EastSheen，与HeavyMusic在同一条街上。故选C。17.语义理解题。从第2段内容可知，“诺亚方舟”工程的目标是把濒临灭绝的动物的蛋(卵)、胚胎、精液和DNA储存在液体氮中，如果某一种动物濒临灭绝时，将来可以重现这一动物。18.细节题。从第6段第1句话Thenucleartransfer(核子移植)ofonespeciestoanotherisnoteasy,andthelackofavailable(capableofbeingused)pandaeggscouldbeamajorproblem

可以做出正确判断。19.主旨题。从文章内容来看，无论是中国还是世界克隆熊猫还没有成功，所以排除A、B项；D项内容明显与文章内容不符，故排除。所以“探索克隆熊猫的可能性”应该是这篇文章的标题。20.判断题。此题B项的干扰性较强，但由于它没有说明是Chinesescientists，所以应排除。A、C项明显与原文不符。根据文章第3段第1句可知答案非D莫属。5.Isn'titamazinghowthehumanbodyheals____afteraninjury?答案：C6.Ellenwasapainterofbirdsandofnature,_____,forsomereason,hadwithdrawnfromallhumansociety.
