上期高二第12周周考英语参考答案（满分102分时间35分钟）（9*4=36分）A篇：【文章大意】作者通过描述自己对孩子的培养经历,说明了培养孩子兴趣的重要性。1【解析】选D。推理判断题。通过本文作者强调了要培养孩子的兴趣。2.【解析】选B。细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段可知,作者让儿子看到蚂蚁是为了培养孩子善于观察的热情。3.【解析】选C。推理判断题。通过文章最后一段,作者强调孩子表现出什么样的兴趣,父母和老师就应该尽力去培养这个兴趣。4.【解析】选C。词义猜测题。根据文章第三、四段可知,儿子从那次看到蚂蚁之后就喜欢上了观察,因此说明他当时是充满好奇地去看蚂蚁。B篇【语篇解读】本文是议论文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们什么是真正的幸福，我们应该如何获得自己想要的幸福。5．解析：选A。细节理解题。由文章第一段中的．..whichseemstogetrarertheolderweget.可知，人们越老越觉得很难获得幸福。6．解析：选C。推理判断题。在第五段作者讲述了自己的幸福观；在第六段作者讲述了自己因能够不受打扰地写作而感到幸福，安静过后一家人在一起喧闹也感到幸福。由此可知作者对日常生活是容易满足的。7．解析：选D。推理判断题。由文章第七段中的Shedidhaveanetworkofclosefriendsandfamily，andmaybethisiswhatsatisfiedher.可知，祖母有一群亲密的朋友和家人，或许她正是因此而满足。由此可以推断出，祖母的幸福来自对生活的适度期盼。8．解析：选B。细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段最后一句可知，我们追逐幸福并以财富和成功来衡量它，却没注意到那些拥有财富和成功的人们并不一定更幸福。由此可知，以财富和成功来衡量幸福的人其实是对幸福施加了太多的压力。9．解析：选D。主旨大意题。从作者对于幸福的论述我们可以看出，幸福就是对于自己已经拥有的感到满足，而过分追求财富和成功只能给自己更大的压力，由此我们得出答案为D。（20*2.5=50分）【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。它讲述了一位和家人住在山上一所破旧、简陋房子里的小女孩因羡慕另一座山上看上去窗户金光闪闪的好房子而骑自行车来到那里，却发现所有的窗户非常朴素且十分脏，小女孩感到非常失望，当她离开时，却最终发现自己一直生活在充满关爱的房子里的故事。36．解析：选C。由空前的usually可知此处表示小女孩小时候经常的、习惯性的动作，故用would。句意为“她过去通常在小花园中玩耍”。37．解析：选B。由该空所在句后面的逗号及逗号后面的完整句子可知，该空处应引导一个状语从句。选项中but为并列连词，不能引导从句，故排除。unless意为“除非；如果不”，引导条件状语从句；since意为“既然；自从”，引导时间状语从句，但这两个词用在此处逻辑和语意均不合适，故排除。although意为“虽然，尽管”，引导让步状语从句，符合语境。句意为“虽然她爱自己的父母和家，但是她却渴望住在这样的一所房子里面……”。38．解析：选A。根据前面的desired可知答案。dreamabout意为“梦想”，与desire意思相当。worryabout意为“担心”；askabout意为“询问；打听”；shout意为“喊叫”。39．解析：选C。分析句子结构可知此处需要用it作形式主语，不定式短语tolivethere为真正的主语。句意为“她整天都梦想着，住在那里是多么美妙和兴奋”。40．解析：选D。根据下文可知，她到了可以骑自行车走出花园的年龄，因而是具备了“基本的”技能和识别能力。A项意为“不同的”；B项意为“科学的”；C项意为“音乐的”；D项意为“基本的”。41．解析：选A。结合上下文知，她在骑自行车离开花园前要“请求”妈妈的同意，故beg(请求；乞求)符合语境。blame意为“责备”；invite意为“邀请”；pay意为“支付”。42．解析：选B。由文章一开始“她过去通常在小花园里玩”及下文可知，她应是骑自行车到花园“外面”。43．解析：选A。由空前的“她妈妈最终允许她去”可知，后面句意应为“但是坚持要求她要离家近一些，不要骑太远”。insiston意为“坚持”；relyon意为“依靠”；argueabout意为“争论；争辩”；wonderabout意为“对……好奇；想知道”。44．解析：选C。根据上文的abikeride可知，她是要骑自行车出行，故此处填riding。45．解析：选C。madly意为“疯狂地”；rapidly意为“迅速地”；exactly意为“确切地；完全地”；possibly意为“可能地”。因为她早已经有了骑行的目标，因此她心里十分清楚自己要去哪里。C项符合语境。46．解析：选B。根据上文可知，她家住在山上，因此要到另一座山上要先下山再穿过山谷，结合后面的acrossthevalley可得知答案。47．解析：选D。根据下段中的putitagainstthegatepost可知，她要骑到那所金色房子的大门处。48．解析：选B。句意：当她从自行车上下来，把车子放在大门处时，她注意到了通向房子的小路，之后又注意到了这所房子
