24.Theunderlinedphrase“enfantterrible^^inParagraph2means

A.rudeandunpleasant

B.ordinarybutarrogant

C.smartbutunconventional

D.boringandtraditional

解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“turnedHollywoodupside

down”可知，昆汀颠覆了好莱坞，由此推之，他的所作所为应该和好

莱坞的一些传统观念或做法是背道而驰的。根据/Fictioncounts

asacompletelyoriginalmasterpiece,whichsometimeseventohismost

loyalfanshehasnotmatchedagain.“可知，PulpFiction是昆汀创作的

完全原创作品，在他的一些粉丝看来，其无可匹敌。结合这两点来看，

结合选项，昆汀是一个在艺术创作上非常“灵活且不拘泥于传统”的

人。故选C。

答案：c

A.QuentinTarantinowasbornandraisedinLosAngeles.

B.AfterJackieBrown,TarantinoshotKillBillrightaway.

C.ThefilmGrindhousemadein2007gainedhugeprofits.

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“notuntil2008didanyof

thoserumorscometogether,whenheannouncedthathehadinfact

finallyfinishedascriptforInglouriousBasterds,amassivewarepic.The

moviewentintoproductionthatsameyear,starringBradPittinthe

leadingrole”可知，直到2008年，他才宣布自己终于完成了《无耻混

蛋》的剧本，这是一部宏大的战争史诗。同年，这部电影开始制作，

由布拉德・皮特主演。结合选项，D（2008年见证了《无耻混蛋》的诞

生）符合题意。故选D。

答案：D

26.Wecaninferfromtheparagraph4that.

southofthe1860s,titledDjangoUnchained.Themoviehasattracted

enormousattention,especiallybecauseitstarsJamieFoxx,Leonardo

DiCaprio,SamuelLJacksonandChristophWaltz,whowonanOscarfor

hisroleinInglouriousBasterdF知，克里斯托弗•瓦尔兹主演了塔伦蒂

诺的《被解放的姜戈》，而且克里斯托弗・瓦尔兹还凭借在塔伦蒂诺的

《无耻混蛋》中的角色获得了奥斯卡奖。由此推知，克里斯托弗•瓦

尔兹至少出演过塔伦蒂诺的两部作品。结合选项，B（克里斯托弗•瓦

尔兹至少和塔伦蒂诺合作过两次）切合题意。故选B。

答案：B

27.Whatmightbetheauthor'sattitudetowardsQuentinTarantino?

A.Indifferent.B.Negative.C.Neutral.D.Favorable.

本文是一篇新闻报道。中国三大手机运营商——中国移动、中国

电信和中国联通采取了一项新政策——允许个人数据包中未使用的

数据结转到下个月使用。目前围绕三大国有电信巨头数据包的争论反

映了公众的愤怒程度。在中国的反腐运动和改革中，它显示了公众对

深化改革、让国有企业惠及国内消费者的热情。

datapackageofthreestate-ownedtelecommunicationgiantsreflectsthe

extentofpublicanger...itshowsthepublic'senthusiasmfordeepening

reformsandmakingSOEsbenefitdomesticconsumers.”目前围绕三大

国有电信巨头数据包的争论反映了公众的愤怒程度。在中国的反腐运

动和改革中，它显示了公众对深化改革、让国有企业惠及国内消费者

的热情。”可知，最后一段很可能暗示公众对目前的改革不满意。故

选A。

答案：A

D

本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了第一位参加马拉松的女性吉布的故

事。

32.Thewomanishidinginthebushes.

A.tocheeronthebestparticipants

B.soasnottobeseenatthestartingline

C.inordertowatchtheraceunfold

D.sothatshehasabetterviewofthefield

解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的"Whenthegunwentofftostart

therace,themysteriouspersonallowedthefastercompetitorstopass

beforejoiningthemaingroupofrunners.Itwasn'tlongbeforetheothers

noticedthattheirnewcompanionwasawoman.“可知，当枪声响起开始

赛跑时，她让跑得快的人先过了，然后加入了主要的赛跑队伍，没过

多久，其他人就注意到“他”是个女人，再根据第二段中的“an

experiencedrunnerwhohadhadherapplicationtorundeniedonthe

groundsthattheBostonMarathonwasaMen'sDivisionraceonly.Her

rejectionlettercategoricallystated:Womenaren'tallowedand

furthermorearenotphysiologicallyable.”可知，她曾因为波士顿马拉松

比赛只是男人们的比赛而被拒绝参加比赛，她的拒绝信明确说明女性

是不允许参加马拉松的，由此可知，她藏在灌木丛里是为了在起跑线

上不被发现自己是个女人，故B项正确。

答案：B

33.WhatultimatelydroveGibbtofinishtherace?

A.Shedidn'twantherplantobackfire（发生意夕卜）.

B.Shewantedherparentstobeproudofher.

C.Shewasn'twillingtodisappointthecrowd.

D.Shecouldn'ttaketheshameoffailure.

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Shedecideditwastime

attitudestowardswomenchanged,andboughtabustickettoBoston.“可

知，她去参加马拉松是想改变人们的态度女性不能参加马拉松比

赛，再根据第三段中的"Ifshehadn'tknownthatdroppingoutwould

havesetwomen'srunningback20or30years,shemaynothave

completedthecourse.”可知，如果她不知道跑不完比赛会让女性长跑

退回到二三十年前，她就不会跑完最后一段距离，由此可知，她不想

让自己的计划（改变人们对女性参加马拉松的态度）适得其反激励她

完成了比赛，故A项正确。

答案：A

34.WhatdoesthewritermeanwhenhedescribesGibb'srunning

timeas“respectable”？

A.Hethinksshecouldhavedonebetter.

B.Heconsidersitastandardtoaimat.

C.Heregardsitasagoodtime.

D.Hecan'tbelievesheransowell.

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“thecheeringcrowdsonthe

lastlegofthecoursesucceededinliftingherspirits,andshesprintedto

thefinishinaveryrespectabletimeofjustunderthreehoursand22

minutes.”可知，在比赛的最后一段，欢呼的人群成功地振奋了她的精

神，她以不到3小时22分钟的体面时间冲到了终点，由此可知，作

者把吉布的赛跑时间描述为“体面的”意思是他认为这是一个好的
