17.B

18.D

19.G

20.C本文属于历史知识。主要讲述了中国是世界上许多伟大发明的发源地。文中介绍了货币的发展过程，由实物交换到贝壳货币再到金属圆硬币，最后发明了纸币。成为世界上第一个制作纸币的国家。16.F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。句意：在纸币和硬币发明之前，人们用许多不同的东西来买卖。例如，在那期间，买一只鸡可能要用一些土豆来（交换）。分析句意可知，在纸币发明前人们用实物来买卖，分析句子可知F.（Duringthattime,forexample,buyingachickenmightcostseveralpotatoes.）就是对那个时代的一个例子。故选F。17.B考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据下文的内容可知，在公元前1200年使用贝壳作为货币，很容易运输到远的地方。因此这样用实物的方式不方便，不实用。分析选项可知B.项（However,aseconomiesdeveloped,suchexchangesbecameimpractical.）符合题意，故选B项。18.D考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上句内容，在这项发明之后的几年里，世界上许多其他国家也开始这样做，即就是也使用贝壳来作为货币。分析选项可知D.项（Theyalsousedtinyshellsasmoneyforbuyingandselling.）符合题意，故选D。19.G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本空的上下文内容可知，这时货币出现了新的发展，即出现金属币。分析选项可知，G项（Theveryfirstcoinsoftenhadholesinthemsothatpeoplecouldstringthemtogether.，最早的硬币上常有洞，以便人们可以把它们串在一起）与本段coins,有多处同词的复现。可知G项符合题意，故选G。20.C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据本段内容可知主要讲述了纸币最早出现在中国。分析选项可知C项（ItwasstillmanyyearsbeforepapercurrencyappearedinEurope.）有词papercurrency的复现分析句意：在公元806年，最初的纸币是由中国人制作的。很多年以一纸币在欧洲出现。从句意可知，C项符合题意，故选C项。【名师点睛】七选五题型解题技巧该题型选项大致可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）；过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。正确的解题思路分为两步：（1）首当其冲看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。（2）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。如第2、3、4小题主要根据空格前后两句而得出的。（3）看选项，找出与空前空后句中心词同义，近义或相关性的词语。实现关键词的对接，先易后难，各个突破。此外要通过句子的逻辑关系或句子的标点来判断该句在文章的位置。正确选项的特点：复现，包括同义反复，反义反复（，如第4和第5小题都有同一个词的复现）。（4）解题的关键是能娴熟地利用各种衔接手段。尤其要注意代词，连词等。如表示转折关系的but，though,however等。三、阅读理解19.Ibelievethatmyactionsshowmybeliefs,notmywords.Iwrotealettertomykidsafewyearsago.It’sthreepageslong,anditsumsupmylifeexperienceoffourdecades.Bythetimetheyreachadulthood,theywillhaveheardmostoftheirfather’sadviceinthatletter:liveinthemoment,donotattachyourselftophysicalthings,treatothersthewayyouwouldliketobetreated,etc.Isealedtheletterinawhiteenvelope,andwroteinstructionsthatnobodyshouldopenitunlesssomethinghorriblehappenedtome.Asapoliceofficer,Ihaveseenlifedisappearinaninstant.Irealizethatcouldhappentomeatanytime.Yetknowingthatletteristhereinmylockermakesmemorecomfortablewithmyowndeath.Everyday,whenIopenmylocker,Iseetheletter.ItmakesmeawarethatIshouldbecarefulatwork,andshowmychildrenandthepeopleIhaveconnectionwiththatItrytopracticeeverythingIhavewritten.Ifthatdaycomesandmychildrenfinallyreadtheletter,Ihopethatbecauseofmyactions,theywilltakemywrittenbeliefstoheartandimproveuponmyexample.Butforme,it’snotenoughtowritedownmybeliefs.ItrytobethebestpersonIcanbeeverydayeveninverydifficultcircumstances.Iammoresuccessfulsomedaysthanothers,butsometimesIcursetoomuch.SometimesIamcynical,unwillingtobelievethatpeoplehavegoodandhonestreasonsfordoingsomething.Ialsogetstressedandupset,yellingatmykidssometimes,andsometimesIamnotaslovingorassympatheticasIshouldbe.Infact,Iamfarfromperfect,butIhopemychildrenwilleventuallyrealizethatperfectionisanillusion.Whatreallymattersisthat,insteadofjustwritingdownourbeliefs,wealltakeactiontobethebesthumanswecanbe.41.Whichofthefollowingcanbestdescribetheauthor?A.Hardworkingandhumorous.

42.B

43.D

44.A

45.C【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者由自己给孩子写的一封信入手，给孩子们提供一些宝贵的人生建议并谈论了自己对生活的认识——完美是一种幻觉，重要的是我们可以不断地完善自己。【41题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“treatothersthewayyouwouldliketobetreated”可知，作者给孩子的建议包括要用自己希望被别人对待的方式来对待别人，由此可知，作者很体贴，故D项正确。【42题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Everyday,whenIopenmylocker,Iseetheletter.ItmakesmeawarethatIshouldbecarefulatwork,andshowmychildrenandthepeopleIhaveconnectionwiththatItrytopracticeeverythingIhavewritten.”可知，每天当我打开我的储物柜时，我都会看这封信，它让我意识到，我应该在工作中小心谨慎，让我的孩子和与我有联系的人知道，我努力践行我在信中写的每一条建议，由此可知，作者每天打开储物柜看这封信是因为它起到了提醒作用，故B项正确。【43题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Isealedtheletterinawhiteenvelope,andwroteinstructionsthatnobodyshouldope
