知识点：人生百味类【答案】【短文大意】本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述陈先生发现大卫每个周四都请假不上学，他感到很不解。后来他发现原来是和体育课有关。陈先生找体育老师龙先生了解情况。原来龙先生对大卫很严格，但是大卫恐高，每次练习都出问题，所以大卫害怕上体育课。龙先生知道这件事后，打算以后多多帮助大卫。

21.细节理解题。根据DavidwasabsentonThursdaylastweekandtheweekbefore.Hm.WhyishesooftenabsentonThursdays?Washereallyillyesterday?Coulditbeacoincidence（巧合）可知，大卫上个星期四和上上个星期四都没来。嗯。为什么他星期四总是缺席?他昨天真的病了吗?可能这是一个巧合。根据后文可知，他不是真地生病了，而是怕上体育课。所以，大卫没有上学，故选B。

22.细节理解题。根据“Idon’tunderstand,”hesaidtohimself.Heshookhisheadashecircledfourmistakesintheletter.“MrsWangisaneducatedwoman.Shewouldn’tmakemistakesliketheseevenifshedidwritetheletterinahurry可知，陈先生不能理解，请假条里有四个错误，王女士是一个受过教育的女人，她不可能犯这样的错误，所以他困惑的是这封信看起来不是一个受过教育的成年人写的，故选C。

23.细节理解题。根据”Iwonder..“hetoldtohimself.“Iwonderifhisabsencehasanythingtodowithoneoftheselessons.“MrChenlookedatthesubjectsforThursday:Mathematics,English,P.E.HethoughtaboutP.E.HeknewthatthepupilshadP.E.twiceaweek:onceonMonday,whentheyusuallyplayedgamesontheschoolfield,andonceonThursday,whentheydidexercisesinthegym.MrChenglancedroundtheofficetofindMrLong,theratherstrictP.E.teacher,buthewasnotthere可知，陈先生看了周四的课表，发现周四有一堂练习的体育课，每个周四大卫都请假，所以表示陈先生看完课程表后感觉他请假是与体育课有关，故选A。

24.词义猜测题。根据Ifhe’sscaredofheights,he’dbettercomeandseemeafterschool.Quiteafewpeoplesufferfrom（遭受）vertigo.I’llbegladtohelphim可知，如果他恐高，可以在放学后找我，许多人都恐高，我乐意为他提供帮助，所以可以推断出vertigo译为恐高眩晕，故选B。

25.主旨大意题。根据buthe’safraidofheights.Iwashardonhimoncebecausehewouldn’tclimbmorethanacoupleofmetresuptherope.Doyouthinkthat’swhyhe’sbeenabsentrecently以及Ifhe’sscaredofheights,he’dbettercomeandseemeafterschool.Quiteafewpeoplesufferfrom（遭受）vertigo.I’llbegladtohelphim可知，大卫恐高，在体育课上表现得不好，而且体育老师对他很严格，当体育老师得知这件事后，很乐意帮助他。所以可知得知，大卫恐高，故选C。

知识点：人生百味类【答案】26.D

【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子“Mrs.LanewaslivingaloneinacityinTexas,US.Thewomaninher70scoulddoalotofhouseworkherself.However,shewastoooldtomow（修剪）herlawn（草坪）.”可知，莱恩太太独自一人生活。年龄70多岁，可以自己做很多家务。却因年龄大无法修剪草坪。故答案为D。

27.B

【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的句子“Sheletthegrassgrowover18incheshighanditbrokethelawinhercity.Asaresult,shewasindangerofpayinglotsofmoneyorevengoingtoprison!”她让草长到18英寸高，这违反了她所在城市的法律。结果，她面临着要付很多钱甚至入狱的危险！故答案为B。

29.C

【解析】判断正误题。根据文中句子“Wehaven’tmetheryet,butshe’s75yearsoldandsheneedssomehelp”可知，亚当斯兄弟没有见过莱恩太太，A选项错误；根据“Ididn’tevenknowtheirnames.”可知，莱恩太太几乎不知道她的邻居的名词，B选项错误；根据“Icannotbelievethis”可知，莱恩太太没想到邻居会帮助她。C选项正确；根据“TheAdamsbrotherstooktheirmowers（修剪机）andcametoMrs.Lane’shousetomowherlawnwithouttellingher.”可知，亚当斯兄弟是拿着自己的修剪机，D选项错误。故答案选C。

30.A

【解析】主旨大意题。短文介绍的就是“远亲不如紧邻”。当莱恩太太遇到困境时，是邻居们及时伸出了援手去帮助她，令莱恩太太非常感动。文章的主旨就是“好邻居”，故答案为A。

本文介绍了商鞅。商鞅是秦国的一位政治家。为国家制定了许多改革方案，比如更加注重农业，给战争中成功的士兵奖励。但这些改革起初并不容易实施。为了让人们相信他，商鞅想出了一个主意。他在秦都南门放了一根细木杆。并大声说：“谁把这根杆子带到北门谁就会会得到10块金币。”起初，没有人向前。他们都认为商鞅是在开玩笑。由于没人肯出来做，于是他把奖励增加到50块金币。这次，人群中出现了一个人。他把杆子扛在肩上，走到北门。为了信守诺言，商鞅给了那人50块金币。此后，人们对商鞅信任有加，他们相信他是信守诺言的人。于是商鞅就开始实行他的改革，人民也跟着他。在这些伟大的改革下，秦国变得越来越强大。最后，秦始皇把七国统一为一个帝国。

37.细节理解题。根据Hearingnoanswer,ShangYangsteppedforwardandsaid,“Therewardnowgoesto50goldpieces.”商鞅听不到回答，上前说：“现在奖励50块金块。”可知，商鞅增加奖励是因为他听不到回答。故选C。

38.细节理解题。A.Amanwhocanspeakloudly.能大声说话的人。B.Amanwholikestospeakalot.喜欢说大话的人。C.Amanwhokeepshisword.信守诺言的人。D.Amanoffewwords.寡言少语的人。句子Theybelievedhewasamanofhisword.的意思是：他们相信他是信守诺言的人。因此amanofhisword是“信守诺言”的意思。故选C。
