19.A

20.G这是一篇叙述文。本文主要讲了钢的制作过程，历史，以及钢的作用。钢在现代的作用越来越大。16.上一句提到了钢，下一句提到钢与铁的比较，所以该句是承接下文，表达的是钢与铁的关系。D选项“钢是含有少量混合物的铁。”切题。17.该句是标题句。下文主要讲的是钢是如何制成铁的。所以F选项“为了制作钢，工人们要加热直到铁融化。”切题。F中的tomakesteel与文中的tomakedifferenttypesofsteel.相呼应。18.上一句提到“工人们使用机器将钢水冷却成条形或长条形。”而接下来这些钢将会被制成产品。所以C选项“更坚硬的钢可能后面会被制成产品。”切题。19.上一句提到“古代人在一堆燃烧的木炭（木炭）里面加热铁。”所以铁里含有碳。A选项“这把碳加入了铁中。”切题。20.该段讲了钢的作用。上一句提到了钢可以制造摩天大楼。所以该句也应是钢的作用。G选项“他们也用钢制作大的，现代的桥。”切题。【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第2小题中的tomakesteel；第3小题的products；第5小题的usedsteel，均与上下文或选项中有相呼应的词语。三、阅读理解18.AsthefirstblackfemalerepresentativeofAlabamainCongress,TerriA.Sewellsaidshewasraisedtoaccomplishanythingshewanted.“Ineversawmylimitationswhenitcametobeingawomaninanything,letalonepoliticalpower.”SewellrecentlysaidtoTheWashingtonPost.Butthatdoesn’tmeanshedoesn’tgothroughthechallengesthatfacemostwomeninpolitics.TerriwasbroughtupinSelma.ShewasthefirstblackstudenttohavethehighestgradesofSelmaHighSchool.SewellspentherchildhoodsummersinAlabamawithhergrandparents.Hergrandfather,aministerandfarmer,guidedhertoacquirealoveforherhomeland,appreciationofhardwork,andtheimportanceofherfaith.Hergrandfathergaveheradeepunderstandingofthehistoryofblackpeople.SewellgraduatedwithhonorsfromPrincetonUniversity.Duringthesummerswhileincollege,shewasaleaderonthecollegecampus,servinginvariousrolesincludingclassvice-president,classrepresentativeUpongraduatingfromcollege,shewaschosenasoneofthe“TopTenCollegeWomeninAmerica”.Attheageof25,shepublishedhermaster’spaperontheelectionofthefirstblackmembersofBritishParliament(英国议会).Aftergraduation,SewellservedasalawclerkinBirmingham,Alabama.Sewellbeganherlegalcareerin1994attheWallStreetlawfirmofDavisPolk&Wardwell.Sewellprovidedfreelegalservicesforthehomeless,girlsofcolor1inNYChighschools.SewellreturnedtoAlabamain2004toassisthermotherinthecareofherfather.AsthefirstblackfemalepartnerinaBirminghamlawfirm,SewellhasdistinguishedherselfasoneoftheonlyblackpublicfinancelawyersintheStateofAlabama.Sheservedasalawyerhelpingtoraisemoneyforpublicprojectsforsomeofthestate’smosttroublesomepublicaffairs.Sewellmadeeducationalfinanceaparticularfocusofherpractice,representingthehistoricallyblackcollegesinAlabama,aswellasotherhighereducationinstitutions.TerriSewellalsoservedasco-chairoftheWomen’sFund“VoicesAgainstViolence”campaign,whichinspiredwomentohelpwomentoovercomedomesticviolence(家庭暴力).Thecampaignraisedmorethan$70,000infourmonthstofightdomesticviolenceinBirmingham.“Shehasalwaysbeenanoverachiever.”Thisiswhathermothersaidabouther.46.WhatcanweknowaboutSewell’sgrandfather?A.HeledSewelltopoliticspersonally.B.HehelpedshapeSewell’slifevalues.C.HeinspiredSewelltogainvotingrights.D.HeurgedSewelltochallengeherself.47.WhatdoestheauthorfocusoninParagraph4andParagraph5?A.Sewell’ssocialskills.B.Sewell’seducationalbackground.C.Sewell’spoliticalachievements.D.Sewell’sprofessionasalawyer.48.WhichwordscanbeusedtodescribeSewell?A.Determinedandmodest.B.Creativeandenergetic.C.Caringandresponsible.D.Honestandaggressive(上进的).49.WhatdoesSewell’sexperiencetellus?A.Businessisthesaltoflife.B.Onegoodturndeservesanother.C.Neversetlimitationsonyourself.D.Knowledgeispower.50.What’sthebesttitleforthepassage?A.TerriA.Sewell:awomaninpowerB.Racialequality:along-termgoalC.ArisingstarintheU.S.CongressD.ThekeytoTerriA.Sewell’ssuccess参考答案：46.B
