(2)节日的内容和特点。

(3)喜欢的原因.

参考答案

1.B解析：本题属主旨判断题。文章第一段主要讲：第一辆汽车的重要性，第二、三段主要讲：汽车是怎样发动起来的。

2.D解析：根据第二段RichardPrince的一张照片拍出了很高的价钱。说明收集丢弃的照片还是非常值钱的。

3.B在第四段中提到“911”这个电话号码，根据上下文推断，可知这个号码应该是在紧急情况下拨的号码。

4.A55．答案为A

此考题为细节题。根据最后一段中的Hollywoodremainsacenteroffilmproductionalthoughnowmakingmorefilmsfortelevisionthanforthecinema，我们就可肯定A为正确答案。

5.A

6.B解析：注意句子“Lastly,asfarasavoidingcolds，thebestansweristokeepstrongandhealthy—you’llhavelesschanceofcatchingacold”中less的作用。

7.D解析：第3段最后一行点明题意。

8.A

9.B解析：本题为词义推测题。根据上下文我们可知，作者认为也许我们人类很侥幸，上文提到的两种倾向会相互制衡，那么地球的温度就会保持目前的水平了。

10.B最后一段说JamesBartley自从这个事件后再也没有回到海上，可以推断他很害怕。其他三个选项文中都未涉及。B项是正确的。

11.B

12.D

13.D36．第一段。解释什么是kidnapping。选项A是正确的。Steal意为未经允许把什么拿走。Nap有小睡的意思，但与kid构成一个单词时意思大不一样。选项D：从陌生人手中救出，与原意相反。

14.B本题为综合归纳题。文章第一段讲到“Thereare2,400independentschoolsandtheyhavebeengrowinginnumberandpopularitysincethemid-1980s．”即：自从80年代中期以来，已有2400家独立学校，并且在数量上和人口上都保持着增长势头。由此推断，80年代中期以前没有这么多的独立学校，因此应选B。

15.C这篇文章多次用了这个词：identity。第一代移民对自已的民族特征非常看重，也就是知道自己是谁，也希望自己的孩子明白自己的特征。然而第二代移民却对自已究竟是谁非常困惑。

16.C解析：如何教孩子打电话的第三点说明中提到，反复地练习有助于孩子在紧急情况下下意识的操作。

17.A水手们能感觉到鲸鱼的胃里有东西在动。A项是正确的。

18.C

19.D解析：参照短文最后一段。

20.B解析：本文是一篇说明文，第一段即道出全文的主旨是要说明一种新型客机在投入使用之前所做的许多测试中的最重要的两项。第二段对其中一项测试tanktest进行了说明。该段落的第2～4句说明了为什么飞机的结构要牢固。第5～7句从物理学上说明飞机在空中产生爆炸的原因。接下来才说明tanktest测试的目的是Totestthestructureoftheplane和测试方法。第二段末尾提到通过测试，Engineerscandiscoverwhichpartoftheplanehasbroken.Thenthatpartismadestronger.可以判断B选项涵盖了上述意思。

21.C

22.D解析：参见句子：Hemustconsiderbothprofessionalqualificationsandpersonalcharacteristic．

23.C解析：参见句子Shequeuedforabus，gotonandsatdownnexttoanoldlady．

24.A解析：本题属推理分析题。文章倒数第三句已提示：西班牙人说“Idoit”是表示在不久的将来要去做某事，而英国人却不这样表达此意，他们是用“Iwilldoit”。

25.A解析：文章第三段提到“Insteadofstealingcars,heletssomeoneelsedoitandthenwaitsforthecar-ownertoplaceanad(启事)inthenewspaperaskingforhelp.”故正确答案应为A。

26.B根据文中的内容可知，文章主要讲述了房间的颜色和外观对于身在其中的人们的行为的影响。

27.B31．答案为B

根据第二段ApigintheWestisseenasadirty，lazy，andfatanimal．得知西方人对猪的印象是负面的，所以选B。

28.D见原文第二段。第一段说那些从网络上抄袭的学生要当心了。有个新的网站可以帮助教师抓住抄袭的学生。第二段说的是许多学生经常把从网站上抄袭的文章当作自己的作业交给老师。

29.C

30.D解析：第三段中的“Certainmenwereverycleveratmeasuringthetimeofdayaccordingtothebeatingoftheirownhearts.”和第四段中的“Theylearnedtousetheshadowscastbythesun.Theymarkedthehoursoncandles,usedsandinhour-glasses,andinventedwater-clocks.”可判断出人们曾经通过数自己的心跳、观察太阳投下的阴影、使用蜡烛、沙漏以及发明水钟来计算时间，但没有讲使奴隶整日整夜地忙碌，所以选项D是错误的。

31.B解析：如果没有任何候选人得到超过半数的选举人的选票，即538票中的270票，国会将选出胜出者。

32.D词义辨析题。

【应试指导】travel行驶，移动；walk步行；fly飞行；cross穿过。根据句意，D项为正确答案。

33.B

34.C解析：本题属句法题。后句中的“twomainkinds”已提示，故要用复数形式。整篇文章的时态都是一般现在时，所以用are，不用were。

35.D解析：见上一条。

36.A解析：本题测试辨别词义的能力。这里watch意为“看守，监视”；guide意为“引导”；trial意为“审判”而wait意为“等待”。

37.A根据“所有的士兵都参加了考试，而我得了160分”可以推断出平均分是100分，故应选A项。

38.D

39.B因为是假树，所以可以保持在一定时问内不变色、不枯萎。everlasting表示“永久的”，文章中已经给出具体的时间了，所以排除。B项是正确的。

40.D

41.C解析：然后叔叔转向男孩问他做了什么事。

42.Bvery修饰名词时表示强调，不表示数量。Far表示数量大大超过，花费了更多的钱。

43.A试过第一步之后，他就有信心了，故用sure。

44.D解析：我在想，等到今天的孩子们达到我的年龄的时候，电视节目会是怎样的。

45.D

46.D解析：regulate规范，管理。此处作后置定语，主谓关系。

47.D解析：后半句说她是世界上第一位获得博士学位的黑人失聪女性。ShirleyAllen肯定是一个非同一般的人。Strict严格的，athletic运动的，wealthy富有的，amazing令人惊异的。选项D是正确的。

48.B解析：重述picture-writing与现代文字的关系。

49.C解析：大多数人都在快乐地准备迎接这样的新年。

50.D上文讲完了那个聋哑人的故事，下文又来了一个盲人，故应选D项。

51.D

52.D解析：画线部分读[c：]，其他选项的画线部分读[a：]。

53.C画线部分读[i]；其他选项的画线部分读[ei]。

54.Aattract中字母a读作，其他都读作[ei]。

55.A

56.AA项划线部分发[e]，而B、C、D三项划线部分发[c：]，因此选A项。

57.D解析：该题测试元音字母a的读音。选项A、B、C中字母a发[ei]音；选项D中字母a发[ae]音。

58.D解析：A，B，C项的字母组合发[ts]，而D项发[k]，因此选D项。

59.B

60.A解析：画线部分读[s]，其他选项的画线部分读[z]。

61.A解析：此句为倒装句，故选A置于句首。

62.B14．答案为B

参考译文；——我在过街前总是要留神四处看一下。——你这样做是正确的，要尽可能小心。短语can'tbetoocareful意思是ascarefulaspossible“尽可能小心”。

63.C解析：本题为语法结构题。在定语从句中，关系代词前面的介词既受到所修饰的名词影响又受到关系从句中的动词影响。本句中的定语从句中含有一个固定词组，即becomposedof意为“由……组成”。本句大意为：我们可以把化合物分解为其组成成分的纯净物。

64.A参考译文：时代变了，男人能做的，女人也能。age，代；时代；时期：人类历史的一个时代或时期，以其独有的特征或成就为标志；time，时代，反映流行状况和趋势的现今状况。time不可数，用has。

65.B本题考查以what引导的名词性从句的用法。句意为：“不要把今天该做的事情拖到明天。”

66.A解析：wouldyouminddoingsth．我迷路了。您能告诉我怎么走出这里吗?

67.D表示在某个方面用介词in。

68.B解析：sheusuallydidhershoppingin是一个定语从句，修饰shop，定语从句中省略了关系代词。everySaturday作时间状语。

69.D

70.A解析：Insight视力所及。personinsight意为看得见的人，有被动的意思。而选项C和D没有被动的意思。选项A是正确的。

71.A解析：wish后的宾语从句中，如表示过去不曾实现的愿望，则用过去完成时表示虚拟语气。
