第一節

A

◎語篇解讀本文是一篇記敘文,主要介紹了英國作家查爾斯?狄更斯的四位朋友。

1.B推理判斷題。根據第三段中的“EHiotsonwasDickens,sfamilydoctorformanyyearsand

thustheybecamegoodfriends.”可知,Elliotson是Dickens多年的家庭醫生,因此可推知他多年照

顧DiCkenS的健康。故選B。

2.C細節理解題。根據第四段最后兩句"However,twoyearslaterPoebrokeofftherelationship

becausehewasangryaboutanarticleonAmericanpoetry.ThearticlewaswrittenbyThackeray,but

PoebelievedthatDickenswasbehindthearticle.”可知,兩年后,Poe因為對一篇關于美國詩歌的文

章感到憤怒而斷絕了這段關系。這篇文章是ThaCkeray寫的,但Poe認為這篇文章的背后是

DiCkenS,故ThaCkeray寫的一篇文章破壞了Dickens和Poe的友誼。故選Co

3.A細節理解題。根據第五段中的“WilliamMakepeaceThackeraywasanovelist.Hisbest-

knownworkisVanityFair.”可知,WiHiamMakepeaceThackeray最著名的小說是VanityFair。故

選Ao

B

◎語篇解讀本文是一篇記敘文。美國人羅伯特?富爾頓最初是一位畫家,后來致力于研究蒸汽

船的應用。

4.B推理判斷題。根據第三段可知,富爾頓是在為本杰明?富蘭克林畫肖像后進入倫敦社交圈

的。在國外的時候,富爾頓離開了藝術界,轉而從事造船業。他對最近發明的蒸汽機感興趣,認

為它可以用來為船只提供動力。富爾頓的設想并非原創,很多人都進入了這個領域,發明家約

翰?菲奇已經造出了一艘可以工作的蒸汽船。但就像亨利?福特一樣,富爾頓的才能不在于發明，

而在于產品在市場上的應用。由此推測,亨利?福特的天賦在于產品的應用。故選B。

5.D細節理解題。根據第四段中的“In1804,hetestedthefirstsubmarinesuccessfully...His

inventionwouldmakehimacelebrityuponhisreturntotheUnitedStatestwoyearslater.,,∏J

知,1804年富爾頓成功測試了第一艘潛水艇,這使得他在兩年后一回到美國就成了名人,故他是

在1806年成了美國的名人的。故選D。

6.C細節理解題。根據最后一段中的”...Fulton'sboat—formerlyknownasthe'NorthRiver

Steamboat5——wasahit.Withinfiveyears,Fultonwouldberunningservicesonsixmajorriversplus

theChesapeakeBay,andbringingreatPrOfitS.”可知,富爾頓的船受到了人們的歡迎,帶來了很大

的利潤。故選C。

7.A主旨大意題。本文主要講述了羅伯特?富爾頓的經歷以及他改良蒸汽船的過程,所以A項

“羅伯特?富爾頓和他的汽船”最適合作本文的標題。故選Ao

C

◎語篇解讀本文為一篇說明文,文章通過描述慈禧對護甲的熱情,介紹了中國古代的人留長指

甲和戴護甲的歷史,以及現代美甲藝術的發展。

8.B主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,本文通過描述慈禧對護甲的熱情,主要介紹了中國古代的人

留長指甲和戴護甲的歷史,并在最后介紹了現代美甲藝術的發展。故選B。

9.A推理判斷題。根據第二段中的"Duringtheday,Cixiusuallyworenailguardsmadeofgold

orsilver.Accordingtothememoirsofhermaid,beforebed,shewouldputthemintonailPoCketS”可

知,慈禧上床睡覺時會摘下護甲。故選A。

10.D詞義猜測題。根據畫線短語所在句的上一句“Cixi,ontheotherhand,haduniquerightsto

dragonandphoenixcarvingsonhernailguards.“可知,慈禧在護甲上雕刻龍和鳳的圖翥以顯示其

尊貴的地位,由此可推測,畫線短語所產句的意思為“不用說,她在行使這些權利時不吝嗇“。所

以,skimpon與bemeanwith同義,表示“在...方面吝嗇"。故選Do

11.A推理判斷題。根據最后一段第二句"Yettheperioddramaserieslike...broughtthe

popularityoftheMorandicolorpaletteinChina'snailartCirCIe.”可推測,隨著莫蘭迪色系的流行,

如今美甲藝術仍然有市場。故選A。

D

◎語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文,主要介紹了古代的計時方法。

12.B細節理解題。根據第一段中的"Sothecalendarsthatweredevelopedatlowerlatitudeswere

influencedmorebythelunarcyclethanbythesolarcycle.Inmorenorthernareas...thesolarcycle

becamemorevital.”可知,月亮的周期對i?低緯度地區制定的歷法影響更大,而太陽的周期對在高

緯度地區(即更靠北的地區)制定的歷法影響更大。故選Bo

13.C細節理解題。根據第二段中的“theEgyptians...dividedthedayintotwelvetemporalor

SeaSonalhOUrS”可知,埃及人把白天分成十二個與時間有關的或季節性的小時。故選Co

14.D細節理解題。根據最后一段中的"theycouldnotalwaysbedependedoninthecloudyand

oftenfreezingweatherofnorthernEUroPe”并結合常識可知,水鐘在冬天結冰時不能正常運轉。故

選Do

15.C主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,本文主要介紹了古代計時的方法,所以本文是一篇關于人類

早期計時歷史的文章。故選C。

第二節

◎語篇解讀本文是一篇說明文。音樂史在許多方面就是人類史,音樂在人類社會中一直都扮

演著重要的角色。為什么會有音樂的存在?音樂又是什么時候產生的呢?本文對此做了簡要介

紹。

16.E下一句提到音樂史在許多方面就是人類史。E項提出問題,問到音樂在人類社會中是否

一直都很重要及其重要的原因,恰能引起下文,符合語境。故選E。

17.A根據設空處的位置可知其應為下面段落的小標題。根據設空處下面段落的內容可知,科

學家們已經研究了早期類人猿的頭蓋骨和頜骨,看它們是否能夠發出聲音和控制音高。也就是

說,科學家們研究了什么時候開始有音樂的。而選項中只有A項與什么時候開始創作音樂的有

關,所以A項符合語境。故選A。

18.C上一句提到我們的早期祖先可能通過拍手來創作有節奏的音樂。C項點明這可能和最

早的樂器有關聯,符合語境;而且,C項中的“instruments”呼應下文中的“theseinstruments"o故選

Co

19.F根據上面的小標題和上文內容可知,本段主要講的是音樂產生和存在的原因。F項點明

音樂也可以用于交流,通常是遠距離的交流。而這正是音樂產生和存在的原因之一,所以F項符

合語境。故選F。

20.G上一句提到音樂產生和存在的主要原因可能是它能使人們聚在一起。G項點明音樂會

促進人與人之間的關系,比如母親和孩子之間的關系,或者是群體之間的聯系。G項中的

“bonding”和上一句中的“bringspeopletogether”表達的含義相近,且下一句中的代詞“He”指代的

是G項中的“Montagu”,所以G項符合語境。故選Go

第二部分語言運用

第一節

◎語篇解讀本文是一篇記敘文,講述了主人公SarahHaycox通過自己的努力,讓一個已被人忘

記的民權領袖重新被人紀念的故事。

21.B考查形容詞。根據上文提到四年級的學生SarahHayCOX及最后一段最后一句中的“other

youngPeOPIe”可知應是年輕(young)人。故選B。

22.A考查現在分詞。根據最后一段第一句"Mostkidssimplyhadwalkedbythememorial

withoutthinkingaboutwhoMr.Prattwas.”可知,此處指她走(Walking)過運動場。故選Ao

23.D考查名詞。根據最后一段第一句"Mostkidssimplyhadwalkedbythememorialwithout

thinkingaboutwhoMr.PrattWaS.”可知,此處應是她注意至IJ一座小紀念碑(memorial)。故選Do

24.C考查動詞。根據下文內容可知,她做了一些調查,最后知道了紀念碑上的人的身份。由此

可推測,此處表示她想知道(WOndered)。故選C。

25.B考查名詞。根據后面她得知的內容可知,此處指調查(research)。故選B。

26.C考查動詞。根據上文可知,EdwinT.Pratt是一位民權領袖,人們給他樹立了紀念碑。由此

推測,他一定幫助(help)過很多人。故選C。

27.A考查動詞。根據語境可知,有人不同意他的做法,因此他被殺害(killed)了。故選A。

28.D考查副詞。根據上文可知,EdwinFPratt是一位民權領袖,為人們做了很多事情。由此推

測,此處指一座小小的紀念碑是不(hardIy)夠的。故選D0

29.A考查名詞。上文提到作為一位民權領袖,他幫助了很多人,所以Sarah覺得一座小小的紀

念碑是不夠的,因為他對別人產生了很大影響(impact)。impression當“影響”講時為可數名詞,根

據空前的much可知應選impacto故選A0

30.B考查動詞。由下文可知,Sarah為了紀念這位民權領袖,找了一所新學校來以他的名字命
