4

A.Annoyed.B.Curious.C.Proud.D.Regretful.

【答案】4.D5.C6.B7.C

【解析】

【分析】

本文是记叙文。作者讲述了他所在的班级在学校做了一个草原花园。同学们从中学到了很多的知识，还受

到了电视台的采访报道。

【4题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中Theproducercheckedwiththedirectors,buttheysaidtherewereplentyofstories

similartoours.（制片人和导演核实了一下，但他们说有很多和我们相似的故事）可推知，一开始的时候，电

视导演对作者班级做的花园并不感兴趣。故选D。

【5题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中Theywantedtoknowwhatwasspecialaboutourparticulargarden,sincemany

schoolsplantthem.（他们想知道我们的花园有什么特别之处，因为许多学校都在种）及第三段中Theteacher

explainedthat,aftergoingontheInternettolearnabouttheprairie（大草原），wehadmadeaprairiegarden.Wehad

gonetoaprairieandgottenseedsfromtheplants,andthenweplantedthem.（老师解释说，我们在网上了解了草

原之后，做了一个草原花园。我们去了一个大草原，从植物中获取种子，然后我们种植它们）可知，新闻

台工作者想知道作者班级做的花园有什么特别之处时，老师解释说这个花园的植物种子来自于草原上的植

物。由此可推知，这个花园的特别之处在于花园里的植物种子真正来自于草原上的植物。故选C。

【6题详解】

词义猜测题。根据最后一段中划线词所在句及前一句话Allthatwork,allthoseblisters,itwasworthit.Weknew

thatwhenwesawthegardeneveryday,butnowweknewthatthewholecitythoughtso,too.（所有这些工作，所

有这些水泡，都是值得的。当我们每天看到花园时，我们知道这一点，但现在我们知道，整个城市的人也

这样认为）可推知，划线词that指代前一句的内容，即“我们的努力是值得的"。故选B。

【7题详解】

5

推理判断题。根据最后一段中Thenewsreportertoldourstory.Itwasonlytwominuteslong,butitwasus.We

werefamous.Allthatwork,allthoseblisters,itwasworthit.（新闻记者讲述了我们的故事。虽然只有两分钟，

但那是我们。我们出名了。所有这些工作，所有这些水泡，都是值得的）可推知，作者对他们所做的这个

项目感到很自豪。故选C。

【点睛】依据逻辑推理猜测词义：运用逻辑推理猜测词义是使用最广考查最多也最易失分的猜词方式。要

求考生具备整合分散、复杂信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相关的词汇并结合具体的语境，从形式和内容

上把握语言之间的内在联系，理顺语言之间的逻辑关系，进而达到猜词的目的。在第3小题中，可以根据

该划线词所在的上下文语境来推测其意义。根据最后一段中划线词所在句及前一句话Allthatwork,allthose

blisters,itwasworthit.Weknewthatwhenwesawthegardeneveryday,butnowweknewthatthewholecity

thoughtso,too.（所有这些工作，所有这些水泡，都是值得的。当我们每天看到花园时，我们知道这一点，

但现在我们知道，整个城市的人也这样认为）可推知，划线词that指代前一句的内容，即“我们的努力是

值得的"。故选B。

者建议大家要对未来充满信心，也要满足当下的生活。

7

【8题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第一段YetalthoughWilliamwasveryrichbythestandardofhistime,hehadnothinglikea

flushtoilet（抽水马桶），orridinglawnmower（除草机）.可知，尽管威廉一世在他那个时代很富有，但是他没

有像抽水马桶、除草机这一类的东西，通过Howdidhe可知，他是怎样生活的呢？可知推出getby的意

思是通过，过得去，故选C。

【9题详解】

细节理解题。本文提及了WilliamI威廉一世，Croesus克罗伊斯，AlexandertheGreat亚历山大大帝，Czar

Nicholas沙皇尼古拉斯共计4个历史人物，故选及

[10题详解】

推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Ofcourse,onewaytoachievehappinesswouldbetorealizethatevenbytodays

standardsthethingsIownareprettynice.可知，获得幸福的一种方式就是意识到，即使按照今天的生活标准，

我拥有的东西都很不错，作者认为获得幸福感在于对当前拥有的东西感到满意，故选A。

【11题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段Besides,topeoplelookingbackatourerafromacenturyortwointhefuture,these

bankers,fancycountertopsandmyownwornFormicawillseemequallyshabby.用未来一两个世纪的人的标准

来看今天，不管是银行家绚丽的工作台面还是我家的装饰材料都相当寒修，故可知，作者认为生活会随着

时代的发展而进步，故选B。

【答案】12.C13.A14.D15.C

【解析】

【分析】

本文是一篇议论文，主要抨击了如今人们养宠物的现象，一些人甚至已经沦为了宠物的奴隶。

[12题详解】

细节理解题。根据最后一段中的wPeoplestillassumethatpetsmustbeworkingforhumanityinsomeway,

perhapsmakingpeoplehealthierorlessanxious.Buttheevidenceforthatisweak.Rather,newresearchsuggests

thatdogshaveevolvedthoseirresistible“puppy-dogeyes”preciselytoaffecthumanemotions.,,可知,人们

仍然认为宠物必须以某种方式为人类工作，使人们更健康或更少焦虑，但这方面的证据并不充分，相反,

新的研究表明狗狗进化出了那些不可抗拒的眼神，正是为了影响人类的情绪，因此“宠物越来越让主人不

那么焦虑”这一说法是错误的，故C项正确。

10

[13题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段中的"Inthebusinessthisiscalled"pethumanisation"—thetendencyofpetowners

totreattheirpetsaspartofthefamily.Thisisevidentinthenamesgiventodogs,whichhaveevolvedfromFido,

RexandSpotto-inAmerica-Bella,LucyandMax/7可知，在这个行业中,这被称为"宠物人性化”----

宠物主人将宠物视为家庭的一部分的趋势，这一点在给狗起的名字中很明显，狗的名字从菲多、雷克斯和

斯波特演变成一一在美国的贝拉、露西和麦克斯，因此，现在美国家庭给宠物起的名字可以作为宠物人性

化的证据，故A项正确。

[14题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中的"Thepetbusinessisgrowingevenfasterthanpetnumbers,becausepeopleare

spendingmoreandmoremoneyonthem."可知，宠物生意的增长速度甚至超过了宠物数量，因为人们在宠

物身上花费的钱越来越多，由此可知，作者认为一些宠物主人在他们的宠物身上花了太多的钱，故D项正

确。

[15题详解】

主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据文章最后一句话uandyouhavetowonder:who'sinchargenow?n可知，

本文主要抨击了如今人们养宠物的现象，一些人甚至已经沦为宠物的奴隶，故C项（谁是老大？）最适合

做文章标题。

【点睛】文章标题形式的主旨大意题难度在于被选选项要具有高度的概括性，准确全面地体现出文章内容,

因此抓住文章主题是关键，社会生活类文章通常作者会在文章最后表明自己的态度，而作者的态度一般即

为文章主题，例如本篇第4题，通读全文，特别是根据文章最后一句话"andyouhavetowonder:who,sin

chargenow?w可知，本文主要抨击了如今人们养宠物的现象，一些人甚至已经沦为宠物的奴隶，这种现象

不禁让人怀疑宠物和主人到底谁才是老大，言外之意，作者认为人们这种饲养宠物的方式是不可取的，故

C项（谁是老大？）最适合做文章标题。
