【答案】

4.C

5.A

6.D

7.B

【分析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了手工造纸的过程。

4.词句猜测题。根据第一段倒数第二句"theflat,thinformremainingisallowedtodry.This

becomesasheetofpaper.”可知，剩卜的薄而平的薄片在晾干之后就成为了纸张，所以“This”

指代的就是上文的“薄片”，也就是"remaining”。故选C。

5.细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句"Theseshouldbecutintopiecesaboutfivecentimetersby

fivecentimeters「可知，原材料在制作前都需要被切割成5*5厘米的小方块，也就是说手工

造纸的第一步就是切割，即f应是过程的第一步，故排除C和D；又根据第五段“Afterseveral

moredryingsteps,thepaperiscarefullyliftedbackfromthemold.“可知I,纸张在经过几次风干

程序之后，才会从模具中拿出来，也就是说纸张是先风干再拿出来，即a在e的前面，A选

项符合题意。故选A。

6.细节理解题。根据第五段"..themoldletsthewaterflowthroughthesmallwiresquares.”

可知，模具制作成小方块的金属丝的样子是为了让水从空隙流过，从而加速风干，D选项符

合题意。故选D。

7.主旨大意题。本文使用大篇幅主要向我们介绍了手工造纸的过程，所以本文的写作目的

就是向我们描述纸张制作的过程。故选B。

C

【答案】

8.B

9.C

10.C

11.C

【分析】

本文主要介绍了被人们称为“铁榔头”的排球运动员/教练郎平的故事。

8.细节理解题。根据第三段“Thingsdidn'tgowellattheverybeginningintheOlympics.”以及

“Shespenthertimethinkingabouthowtobeattheotherteamsandgettheplayerstodotheir

best.”可知，在奥运会一开始的时候事情进展不太顺利，但是郎平还是愿意花时间去思考如

何赢得比赛；她的这些行动恰好体现题目句子的意义”即使希望渺茫，也要全力以赴“；备选

选项中B选项的“有时虽然你不能赢，但是你同样需要尽全力”与郎平的话意思相似。故选Bo

9.

细节理解题。根据第三段“Herwordsandbehaviorinfluencedyoungerplayers.“可知，郎平的

言语和行动影响了年轻一代的人们，朱婷就是其中之一的人；由此可推测，提及朱婷是为了

表示郎平给年轻一代树立了榜样，C选项符合题意。故选C。

10.细节理解题。根据第二段"..theChinesewomen'steamfirstshowedtheworldits

speed"以及“Theteamworkandunyieldingspiritoftheteamhelpthemtakeeverychanceto

gainadvantage.”可知，速度、团队合作和永不服输的精神都是中国女子排球队获得好成绩的

要素，而C选项的“搏斗”则是郎平个人精神的体现，无关团队。故选C。

11.细节理解题。根据第三段“Aftereightyearsofhardtrainingandfighting,Langfinishedher

careerasavolleyballplayerin1986.In2013,shereturnedtotheyoungnationalteamafter

workingabroadasacoachfbr14years."可知,郎平当了8年排球运动员，在国外当了14年排

球教练后回国又继续效力祖国的排球事业；可以说郎平的一生都和排球做伴，C选项符合题

意。故选C。
