2．C

3．D【分析】文章介绍了三本最适合儿童阅读的书。1．细节理解题。根据“Listedbelowarethreeofthebestbooksforchildren.”可知，这三本书都是写给孩子的，故选A。2．细节理解题。根据“TheLittlePrince”中的信息“Inthisbook,theloneliness,friendshipandlovearenoteasytounderstand.”以及“Charlotte’sWeb”中的信息“IttellsthestoryofapignamedWilburandhisfriendshipwithaspidernamedCharlotteonafarm.”可知，《小王子》和《夏洛的网》中都提到了友谊，故选C。3．推理判断题。根据“Twobrotherswanttogetsilverandgoldfromtheemperor...whotellsthetruththattheemperorwearsnothing.”可知，这个皇帝被那两兄弟愚弄了，故选D。4．D

5．C

6．B

7．A【导语】本文讲述了一个国王和他的朋友的故事，告诉我们任何一件事的发生都有它好的一面。4．细节理解题。根据第二段“Thefriendmadeamistakewhilepreparingthegunfortheking.”可知，朋友在为国王准备枪的时候犯了一个错误，致使枪出了问题，从而导致国王受伤；结合选项，故选D。5．细节理解题。根据第三段“Cannibalsneverateanyonethatwaslessthanwhole,sotheysetthekingfree.”可知，因为国王断了一根手指，整体不是完整的，因此食人族放了他。故选C。6．推理判断题。根据第四段“hefeltsorryforwhathehaddonetohisfriend.”可推知，从食人族那里回来后，国王明白断了一根手指未必是坏事；他也后悔曾经因为这个将他的好朋友投入监狱。结合选项，B项“把你关在监狱这么久”符合情景，故选B。7．最佳标题。通读全文可知，国王因为断了手指而没有被食人族吃掉，而他的朋友因为被关进了监狱所以没有陪国王去狩猎，不然被吃掉的就是他了；这个故事告诉我们任何一件事的发生都有它好的一面。结合选项，“ThisIsGood”贯穿全文，应为本文最佳标题。故选A。8．B

9．B

10．C

11．D【导语】本文通过农夫与水桶的故事告诉我们要学会看到事物光明的一面。8．推理判断题。根据第一句“Oncetherewasafarmer.”并结合全文内容可知，文章讲述了农夫与漏水的水桶的故事。故选B。9．细节理解题。根据第一段“Eachmorning,thefarmerwouldwalktoanearbywell(井)togetwaterfordrinking.”和第二段“Oneofthebucketshadasmallhole.Allthewayhomefromthewell,itwouldleakwateralongtheway.”可知，农夫每天挑着两个水桶去打水，其中有一个水桶漏水，因此②在①前，排除A和C；根据第二段“I’msosorrythatIleak!”和第三段“Thefarmeronlysmiled…Theseflowershavegivenmesomuchjoyonmywalkstoandfromthewell.”可知，漏水的桶向农夫道歉，农夫笑了，说多亏了这个桶，他才能在路上欣赏到美丽的花，③在④前。故选B。10．词义猜测题。根据“Oneofthebucketshadasmallhole.”和“Thewateryoudrophasbroughtbeautyintotheworld.”可知，其中一个水桶上有个小洞，由此可推测，这个水桶漏水，路上会有水滴落，leak表示“漏”，在文中与选项中的“drop滴落”近义。故选C。11．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段可知，虽然水桶漏水，但正是这个原因，让农夫在路上能够欣赏到美丽的花。故事告诉我们要学会看到事物光明的一面。故选D。12．C

13．B

14．A

15．D【分析】文章叙述了一个老师用一管牙膏作比喻，来告诉学生们说话前要三思而后行，说话前要确保言辞友善，要善待他人。12．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Shesaidthatanothergirlsaidsomethingmeantoherandithurtherfeelings.Shefeltquitesadaboutit.”可知，另一个女孩对这个女孩说了一些刻薄的话，这伤害了她的感情。她对此感到很难过。故选C。13．细节理解题。根据第二段“Theteacherthentoldthestudentsquietlyandslowly,‘Thistoothpasteisjustlikethewordsyousay.Whenyousaysomethingmean,it’shardtotakeitback.Itonlymakesamess.Thinkbeforeyouspeakandmakesureyourwordsarekindbeforeyouletthemout.’”可知，老师拿了一些牙膏的原因是因为她要用牙膏给她的学生上一课。故选B。14．细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Theteacherthentoldthestudentsquietlyandslowly,…”可知，老师搞得一团糟之后，老师平静地慢慢地开始给学生们讲述道理，所以老师可能觉得平静。故选A。15．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Thinkbeforeyouspeakandmakesureyourwordsarekindbeforeyouletthemout.’”可知，老师用牙膏做比喻，告诉学生们说话前要三思而后行，说话前要确保言辞友善，所以最后一段老师的意思是一定要善待他人。故选D。16．E
