theyboththoughttheyhadwonthequarrel56题答案：B考点：语义猜测根据第一段母亲所说的话“it’ssomethingthatyouwouldrathernothaveanyoneelsetoknowabout”“它是一件你不希望其他人所知道的事情”，选择B。57题答案：A考点：细节推断解析:由第二段”Yes，butpeoplethesedayssaythatyouarenotarealAustralianunlessyourancestorsarrivedasprisoners”，“如今的人们说如果你的祖先不是以囚犯的身份到达澳大利亚的话，那么你就不是一个真正的澳大利亚人。”选择A58题答案：B考点：细节理解由第三段“Justassheopenedthedoorandreachedintohangaskirt,abonyarmstuckoutfromthedarkdepthsandabundleofwhitebonesfelltothefloor.”“正当她打开门伸进手去挂短裙的时候，一只骨头胳膊从暗处伸出来然后一堆骨头摔倒了地板上。”得出妈妈因该是被吓晕的。59题答案：C考点：细节理解由最后一段“Ibroughtithometohelpmewithmyhealthproject.”“我把它带回家是为了帮我搞定我的健康课题”，project此处有“学校的科研习作项目,课题”之意判断出C选项。60题:考点：推断题答案：C结合全文理解，开头讲述了Jessica的一个提问“Mum,whatdoesitmeanwhensomeonetellsyouthattheyhaveaskeleton（骨骼）inthecloset（衣橱）?”引出了父母之间的争论，之后妈妈被孩子藏在衣橱中的用来完成学校课题的骷髅吓晕过去，最后Jessica解释时说，“Imeanttotellyou,butitseemedthatassoonasImentionedskeletonsandclosets,itcausedaproblembetweenyouandDad.”即本想告诉妈妈衣橱里的骷髅的情况，可是每当提到骷髅和衣橱的问题后却总会让父母之间有摩擦，然而最后真相大白，Jessica的父母都意识到了这是一个误会，故而狂笑。故而选择C3.（·陕西卷）CInearlyautumnIappliedforappliedforadmissiontocollege.IwantedtogonowherebuttoCornell“Youcan’tsayit’snotagreatuniversity,justbecausePapawentthere.”“That’snotitatall.Anditisatopuniversity.”Shewasstillholdingthepiecesinherhand.“Butwecan’taffordtosendyoutocollege.”“Iwouldn’tdreamofaskingyouformoney.DoyouwantmetogetajobtohelpsuppontyouandPapa?Thingsaren’tthatbad,arethey?”“No,”shesaid.“Idon’texpectyoutohelpsupportus.”Fatherborrowedmoneyformhisrichcousinstostartasmalljewelleryshop,Hischiefcustomerswerehisoldcollegefriends.Togetnewcustomers,mymotherhadtohelp.Shepickedupalong-forgottenmembershipinthelocalleagueofwomen,sothatshecoundgettoknowmorepeople.Whetherthosepeoplewouldturnintocustomerswasanotherquestion.IknewthatmyParentshadtowaitforquitealongtimebeforetheirsmallinvestment(投资)couldshowreturns.What’smore,theyhadnotwantedenoughtoberochandsuccessful；otherwisetheycoundnotpossiblyhavemanagedtheirlivessobadly.Iwastornbetweenthedesavetohelpthemandchange,theirlives,andthedeterminstionnottorepeattheirmistakes.IhadastrongbeliefinmypowertogowhatIwanted.AftermonthsofhardstudyIwonafullcollegescholarship（奖学金）.Myfathercouldhardlycontainhisprideinme,andmymothereventuallygaveinbeforemysuccess.53.TheauthorwasnotallowedtogotoCornellUniversitymainlybecause【D】hisfathergrduatedfromtheuniversityhismotherdidnotthinksitagreatuniversityhisparentsneededhimtohelpsupportthefamilyhisparentsdidnothaveenoughmoneyforhim54.Thefathersrartedhissmallshopwiththemoneyfrom.【C】A.alocalleagueB.hisuniversityC.hisrelativesD.hiscollegefriends55.Whydidthemotherrenewhermembershipintheleague?【A】A.Tohelpwithherhusband’sbusinessB.ToraisemoneyforhersonC.Tomeetherlong-forgottenfriendsD.Tobettermanageherlife56.Accordingtothetext,whatwastheauthordeterminedtodointhatautumn?【C】Togetawell-paidjobforhimselfToimproverelationswithhismotherTogotohisdreamuniversityTocarryonwithhisfather’sbusiness4.（·安徽卷）CTheyarethesortoffriendswhoaresoclosetheytrusteachotherwiththeirlives.Ifonefalls,theotheristheretocatchhim.TheyareWellman,whoselegswerepermanentlyinjurednineyearsagoinarock-climbingaccident,andCorbett,anexperiencedrockclimber.Together,theyclimbedupHalfDome,thefamous2,000-footrockintheYosemiteNationalPark,throughoneofthemostdifficultroutes(路线).Duringtheclimb,Corbetttookthelead,hitinthemetalspikes（尖状物）thatguidedtheropesandclimbedup.Then,afterWellmanpulledhimselfuptherope,Corbettwentdowntoremovethespikesandclimbedupagain.Thisprocesswasrepeatedtimeandagain,inchbyinch,for13days.Wellman’sjobwasnoteasyeither.Hegothimselfuptheropethroughupperbodystrengthalone.Inall,Wellmanfiguredthathehaddone5,000pull-upsuptheropeontheclimb.However,whenthetwomenfirstmet,theynevertalkedaboutclimbing.“HeknewthatwashowIgotinjured.”Wellmansaid.UntilonedayWellmandecidedthathewantedtoclimbagainandtheystartedtraining.TheirclimbofHalfDomewasnotallsmooth.Atonepoint,piecesofrockgaveway,andCorbettdroppeddownquickly.Wellmanlockedtheirropeinplace,stoppingthefallat20feet.Hisquickactionprobablysavedhisfriend’slife.“Yourpartnercansaveyourlife—youcansaveyourpartner’slife,”Wellmansaidasthepairreceivedcongratulationsfromfriends.“Therearerealcloseties.”【文章大意】在现实生活中，不管作什么事情，人人互助就能克服任何困难，甚至挽救生命。Wellman和Corbett的经历恰好印证了这个道理。64.WhichofthefollowingwasachallengeforCorbettinclimbingHalfDome?A.Toclimbuptoremovethespikes.B.ToclimbittwiceC.Todo5,000pull-upsuptherope.D.Tolocktheropeinplace.【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据文章可知，C项和D项是Wellman所为，因此排除。根据第六段可知，Corbett在攀爬之中掉了下去，是Wellman及时固定住缆绳阻止住他下落，他得再次攀爬上去，对他来说这是个最大的挑战，因此选择B项。65.Whydidthetwomennevertalkaboutclimbingwhentheyfirstmet?A.Corbettwaspoorlytrained.B.Wellmanhadlostinterestinclimbing.C.Corbettdidn’twanttohurtWellman.D.Wellmanhadn’tdecidedwhethertoclimbagain.【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据句子whenthetwomenfirstmet,theynevertalkedaboutclimbing.“HeknewthatwashowIgotinjured.”Wellmansaid和…Wellman,whoselegswerepermanentlyinjurednineyearsagoinarock-climbingaccident可知，他们没有谈论攀岩是因为Corbett不想伤害Wellman这个残疾人的自尊。A、B、D项没有提及。66.WhatdoweknowaboutWellman?A.HeclimbedHalfDomebyhimself.B.Hewasdisabledinatrafficaccident.C.Hestoppedrock-climbingforsometime.D.HewassavedbyCorbettduringtheclimb.【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Wellman过了一段时间才决定再次攀岩，于是他们二人共同训练，因此C项正确。A项课文中没有提及；B项错在inatrafficaccident，应为inarock-climbingaccident；D项错误，应为Wellman挽救了Corbett的生命。67.Themainideaofthetextisthat.A.twoheadsarebetterthanoneB.friendshipispreciousinlifeC.thedisabledshouldnevergiveupD.amancanbedestroyedbutcannotbedefeated【解析】选B。主旨大意题。通读全文可知，Wellman和Corbett通过在攀岩活动中互相帮助，战胜困难，甚至挽救生命的事迹，歌颂了友谊之珍贵，文末的Therearerealcloseties也能说明C项正确。A项意为“一人不敌二人计”。5.（·重庆卷）ATherewasagardenerwholookedafterhisgardenwithgreatcare.Towaterhisflowers,heusedtwobuckers.Onewasashinyandnewbucket.Theotherwasaveryoldanddilapidatedone,whichhadseenmanyyearsofservice,butwasnowpastitsbest.Everymorning,thegardenerwouldfillupthetwobuckets.Thenhewouldcarrythemalongthepath,oneoneachside,totheflowerbeds.Thenewbucketwasveryproudofitself.Itcouldcarryafullbucketofwaterwithoutasingledropspilled(溢出).Theoldbucketfeltveryashamedbecauseofitsholes:beforeitreachedtheflowerbeds,muchwaterhadleakedalongthepath.Sometimesthenewbucketwouldsay,“SeehowcapableIam!Howgooditisthatthegardenerhasmetowatertheflowerseveryday!Idon'tknowwhyhestillbotherswithyou.Whatawasteofspaceyouare!”Andallthattheoldbucketcouldsaywas,“IknowI’mnotveryuseful,butIcanonlydomybest.I’mhappythatthegardenerstillfindsalittlebitofuseinme,atleast.”Oneday,thegardenerheardthatkindorconversation.Afterwateringtheflowersasusual,hesaid,“Youbothhavedoneyourworkverywell.NowIamgoingtocarryyouback.Iwantyoutolookcarefullyalongthepath.”Thenthetwobucketsdidso.Allalongthepath,theynoticed,onthesidewherethenewbucketwascarried,therewasjustbare(光秃秃的)earth;ontheonthersidewheretheoldbucketwascarried,therewasajoyousrowofwildflowers,leadingallthewaytothegarden.56.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“dilapidated”probablymean?A.DirtyB.DarkC.Worn-outD.Plain-looking.57.Whatwastheoldbucketashamedof?A.Hispast.B.Hisaging.C.Hismanner.D.Hisleaking.58.ThenewbucketmadeconversationswiththeoldonemainlytoA.laugthattheoldoneB.takepityontheoldoneC.showoffitsbeautifullooksD.praisethegardener’skindness59.Whywastheoldbucketstillkeptbythegardener?A.BecauseitwasusedtokeepabalanceB.BecauseitstayedinitsbesrconditionC.BecauseitwastakenasatreasureD.Becauseithaditsownfunction【答案】CDAD6.（·天津卷)BInthefallof1985.Iwasabright-eyedghlheadingofftoHowardMygrandma,anamazingwoman,graduatedfromcollegeantheageof65.Shewasthefirstinourfamilytoreachthatgoal.ButoneyearafterIstartedcollege,shedevelopedcancer.Imadethechoicetowithdrawfromcollegetocareforher.Itmeantthatschoolandmypersonaldreamwouldhavetowait.ThenIgotmarriedwithanotherdream:buildingmyfamilywithacombinationofadoptandbiologicalchildren.In1999,weadoptedourfirstson.Tolayeyesonhimwasfantasticandveryemotional.Ayearlatercameoursecondadoptedboy.ThenfollowedsonNo.3.In,Igavebirthtoanotherboy.YoucanimaginehowfullyoccupiedIbecame,raisingfourboysundertheageof81.Ourhomewasacompletezooajoyouszoo.Notsurprising,Ineverdidmakeitbacktocollegefull-time.ButInevergaveuponthedreameither.Ihadonlyonechoice:tofindaway.Thatmeanttalkingasfewasoneclasseachsemester.ThehardestpartwasfeelingguiltyaboutthetimeIspentawayfromtheboys.Theyoftenwantedmetostayhomewiththem.TherecertainlyweretimesIwantedtoquit,ButIknewIshouldsetanexampleforthemtofollowthroughtherestoftheirlives.In,IgraduatedfromtheUniversityofNorthCarolina.Ittookmeover21yearstogetmycollIamnotspecial,justsingle-minded.Italwaysstruckmethatwhenyou’relookingatabigchallengefromtheoutsideitlookshuge,butwhenyou’reinthemidstofit,itjustseemsnormal.Everythingyouwantwon’tarriveinyourlifeononeday.It’saprocess.Remember；littlestepsadduptobigdreams.41.WhentheauthorwenttoHowardUniversity,A.awriterB.ateacherC.ajudgeD.adoctor42.Whydidtheauthorquitschoolinhersecondyearofcollege?A.Shewantedtostudybyherself.B.Shefellinloveandgotmarried.C.Shesufferedfromaseriousillness.D.Shedecidedtolookafterhergrandma.WhatcanwelearnabouttheauthorfromParagraphs4and5?Shewasbuyyethappywithherfamilylife.Sheignoredherguiltyfeelingforhersons.Shewantedtoremainafull-timehousewife.Shewastooconfusedtomakeacorrectchoice.Whatdosetheauthormostlywanttotellusinthelastparagraph?Failureisthemotherofsuccess.Littlebylittle,onegoesfar.Everycoinhastwosides.Wellbegun,halfdone.45.Whichofthefollowingcanbestdescribetheauthor?Caringanddetermine.Honestandresponsible.Ambitiousandsensitive.Innocentandsingle-minded.【答案】CDABA7.A（·全国卷新课标卷)WhenmilkarrivedonthedoorstepWhenIwasaboygrowingupinNewJerseyinthe1960s,wehadamilkmandeliveringmilktoourdoorstep.HisnamewasMr.Basille.Heworeawhitecapanddroveawhitetruck.Asa5-year-oldboy,Icouldn’ttakemyeyesoffthecoinchangerfixedtohisbelt.Henoticedthisonedayduringadeliveryandgavemeaquarteroutofhiscoinchanger.Ofcourse,hedeliveredmorethanmilk.Therewascheese,eggsandsoon.Ifweneededtochangeourorder,mymotherwouldpenanote—“Pleaseaddabottleofbuttermilknextdelivery”—andplaceitintheboxalongwiththeemptybottles.Andthen,thebuttermilkwouldmagically（魔术般）appear.Allofthiswasaboutmorethanconvenience.Thereexistedacloserelationshipbetweenfamiliesandtheirmilkmen.Mr.Basilleevenhadakeytoourhouse,forthosetimeswhenitwassocoldoutsidethatweputtheboxi
