【解析】(I)B.数字计算题,根据第二部分butalso,thankstothegovernmenl-backed”reniaroom"

program,youwon'thavetopayanytaxonthefirst£4500youmakeperyear.但同时，由于政府支持的

“租•间房”计划，你不必为你每年赚的4500英镑交任何税。可知，出租房子所得金额4500英镑

以卜是不用交税的，所以50(H)英镑应交税,金额为5000-4500=500英镑。故选B“

(2)C.细节理解题。根据第三部分Grashpaddercanadvertiseyourspace.rashpadder可以为

你的空间做广告。可知，在有重大活动期间如果你想出租房子可以到Grashpadder刊登广告。故选

Co

(3)D.细节理解题。根据最后一段However,youhavetosigna25-yearagreementwiththesupplier,

whichcouldpreventyoufromchangingtheroof.但是，你必须与供应商签订一份25年的协议，这可

能会阻止你改变屋顶。可知，如果你要想免费的使用能源，则需要和提供设备的能源公司签订协

议，并保证25年内不改变自己的屋顶，故选D。

受.因为这首诗歌，作者感受到了诗歌的美，让作者爱上了诗歌.

做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语

句进行仔细分析.结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础卜合理的分

析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据.

1.B.细节理解题.根据第一段最后一句话"Myinterestwasarousedonlybythefactthatthe

word"Poems"appearedinbig,hotpinkletters."可知：我的兴趣被激发起来了,主要是因为这本书

封面上的字”Poems”是用很大的，艳丽的粉红色书写的，故答案选B.

girl."可知：当我读完这首诗的时候，我很难过.故答案选A.

3.D.推理判断题.根据文中的“Tomymother,(hepoemrevealedaparent'saffectionwhennerchild

growsupandleaves.Tome,the"she"in(hepoemwashorror.1(wasmymamawhowouldbesad."

可知：对妈妈来说，这首诗揭示的是当她的孩子长大和离开她时的父母的感情.对我来说，诗歌

中的那个“她“是可怕的，这会让我的妈妈非常难受.所以作者的母亲喜欢读这首"patlypocm”是因

为这苜诗歌让她和未来可能发生的事情联系起来了，故答案选D.

4.A.推理判断题.根段据文章的最后一段"Ihavesincefal匕ninlovewithotherpoems,but"Patty

Pocm"rcmainsmypoem.Afteralb"PattyPocm"gavcmemylovefbrpoetrynotbecauseitwasthepoem

(hatliftedmyspirits,butbecauseitwastheonethathurtmethemost."可知:这首诗歌让作者感受

深的一首诗.因此是这首诗歌引领作者发现了诗歌的力量，故答案选A.

8〜11.【答案】A、B、C、C

【解析】(I)A.推理判断题。根据第三段中的"astudyledbyBritishpsychologislSluartRitchiein

2012found(hatmen'sbrainsareonaverage10percentbigger(hanwomen's"(英国心理学家斯图尔特•

段中的"anotherstudyledbyIsraelipsychologistDaphnaJoelatTelAvivUniversityin2015further

claimedthatdifferencesexistinmaleandfemalebrains"(以色列特拉维夫大学心理学家达普纳•乔尔

(DaphnaJoel)在2015年领导的另一项研究进一步声称，男性和女性的大脑存在差异。)可知，

2012年由英国心理学家斯图尔特•里奇领导的一项研究发现，男性的大脑平均比女性大10%；另

一项由以色列特拉维夫大学心理学家达夫纳•乔尔在2015年领导的研究进一步声称，男女大脑存

在差异。这两个研究解释男女行为差异的原因。故选A项。

(2)B.细节理解题。根据第六段中的"Eliotfoundthatthestatisticsaboutbraindifferencesmean

nothing.Accordingtoherfindings,maleandfemalebrainsarenotmuchmoredifferentfromeach…And

moreimportantly,thesedifferencesdon'tshowthatmaleandfemalebrainsworkdifferently"(艾略特发

现关于大脑差异的统计数据亳无意义。根据她的发现，男性和女性的大脑并没有太大的不同……

更重要的是，这些差异并没有表明男性和女性大脑的工作方式不同。)可知，艾略特发现关于大

脑差异的统计数据亳无意义，并根据她的发现，男性和女性的大脑没有太大的不同。更重要的是，

这些差异并不表明男性和女性的大脑工作方式不同。故选B项。

(3)C.细节理解题。根据倒数第五段中的"whatmakesmalesandfemalesbehavedifferently?The

answermaylieinsocializaiion.accordingloTheAUanlic"(是什么让男性和女性行为不同？据《大西

洋月刊》报道，答案可能在于社会化。)可知，《大西洋月刊》称，社会环境导致男女行为差异。

MedicineinBaltimore,US,toldSciencemagazine."（爱略特的研究"为谈话提供了重要的途径"，美

国巴尔的摩马里兰大学医学院神经药学家MargaretMcCarthy告诉《科学》杂志。）可知，麦卡锡

可能同意艾略特的研究为性别差异提供了一个很好的解释。故选C项。

本文是一篇说明文。文章通过几个研究结果介绍了男女行为差异的原因。

阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力，要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系，对

未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断；或根据作者所阐述的观点理论，对文章未涉及的现象、事

例给以解释。考生首先要仔细阅读短文，完整了解信息，准确把握作者观点。

12~15.【答案】D、C^B、B

【解析】（1）D.代词指代题。根据第一段

Thebookcontainedalargenumberofcluestohelpreadersfindthehare,butWilliamsputinalotof"red

herrings",orfalseclues,tomislead__.书中包含了大量的线索来帮助读者找到兔子，但是威廉姆

斯在书中加入「大量的转移注意力的话题，或虚假的线索来误导读者。可知,them指代”Masquerade

的读者A.redherrings红鲫鱼：B.treasurehunts寻宝：C.HenryVHI'ssixwives亨利八世的六位妻子：

D.readersofMasqueradeMasquerade的读者。故选D。

（2）C.细节理解题。根据第二段Althoughhehadbeensearchinginthewrongareamostofthetime,he

founditbylogic,notbyluck.Hissuccesscamefromthefactthathehadgainedanimportantclueatthe

start.Hehadrealizedthatthewords"OneofSixtoEight"underthefirstpictureinthebookconnectedthe

rabbitinsomewaytoKatherineofAragon,thefirstofHenryVlITssixwives.

尽管他大部分时间都在错误的地区进行搜寻，但他找到它是靠逻辑，而不是靠运气。他的成功是

由于他一开始就得到了一条重要的线索。他意识到，书中第一幅画下面的“六到八个人中的一个”

在某种程度上把兔子和KatherineofAragon联系在了一起，她是亨利八世六个妻子中的第一任

妻子。且后文都是围绕着寻找与KalherineofAragon有关的线索展开。可知，故事中朝助Ken

Roberts找到兔子的最重要的线索是KatherineofAragon,故选Co

（3）B.推理判断题。根据第二段HefoundoutthatKitWilliamshadspenthischildhoodnearAmpthill,in

Bedfordshire,andthoughtthathemusthaveburiedtherabbitinaplaceheknewwell.buthestillcouldnot

seetheconnectionwithKatherineofAragon,untilonedayhecameacrosstwostonecrossesinAmpthill

Parkandlearntthattheyhadbeenbuiltinherhonor

in1773

.他发现KilWilliams的童年是在贝德福德郡的

Ampthill附近度过的，他认为他一定是把兔子埋在了自己熟悉的地方，但他还是看不出与Katherine

ofAragon有什么联系，直到有一天，他在Ampihill公园看到了两个石质十字架，才知道这两

个十字架是1773年为她而建的。可知，Ampihill的石制十字架是为了表达对亨利八世第一任妻子

的敬意，故选B。
