Instead he has been told to wait until he is 18. The 16-year-old boy works f

2、or a small firm in Pittsburgh, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. Kevins firm releases (發(fā)布) two new games for the home computer market each month. But Kevins biggest headache is what to do with his money. Though Kevin earns a lot of money, he cannot drive a car, o

3、r buy a house, or obtain (獲得) credit cards. He lives with his parents in Pittsburgh. His company has to pay $200 a month in taxi fares (費(fèi)用) to get him five miles to work and back every day because Kevin cannot drive. "I got this job because the people who run the firm knew I had already writte

4、n some programs," Kevin said. Most of Kevins spare time is spent working. "Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said, "But I had been studying it in books and magazines for years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Mo

5、st people in this business are fairly young anyway." Kevin added, "I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear." 1、 Kevins great problem is ______. A. how to spend his money B. how to design new compute

9、nts cannot. When an animal is attacked, it can run away or fight back. Plants, however, certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws (爪子). But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means (方法). Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example

10、, the leaves of the holly (冬青樹(shù)) plant have sharp spines (刺) that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches, which is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach. Some plants, such as the oak tree (橡樹(shù)), have thi

11、ck and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animals teeth. Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste bitter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight ag

12、ainst an attack by increasing the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛蟲(chóng)) bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine (尼古丁). The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar. Many p

13、lants depend on both physical and chemical defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future. 5、 Why does the holly plant hav

14、e more spines on the lower leaves? A. Because most animals are not tall enough. B. Because most animals can get the lower leaves easily. C. Because most animals are not clever enough. D. Because most animals like the lower leaves only. 6、 In order to defend themselves, oak trees use ___

17、 How Plants Defend Themselves. This year, my husband Doug and I celebrated the 25th birthday of a man we had never met. His name was Tonny Horn. On the night of October 21, 2005, when he was standing in a parking lot (停車場(chǎng)) talking to friends, Tonny jumped to the top of a car, as he had done a hundr

18、ed times before. This time, though, Tonny lost his balance (平衡). His head struck the ground, hard. All night, Elizabeth, Tonnys mother, stood next to her son, who was lying in a hospital bed. She remembered that Tonny has once mentioned organ (器官) donation (捐獻(xiàn)). Maybe I can spare another family t

19、his pain, she thought. When the time came, she and her husband Tom signed the forms permitting his organs to be taken out. Tonny was declared dead the next day. Twenty-four hours later, in a Boston hospital, Tonnys liver (肝臟) was made part of my husband, Doug, who was suffering from a hopeless li

20、ver disease. Months later, we learned the Tonnys parents wished to meet someone who had gained life through the gift from their son. A meeting was arranged by the organ bank to bring together the two families. The meeting was risky, but worth it. We learned for the first time how Tonny had liv

21、ed and died. We learned something about Tom and Elizabeth too. For the Homes, seeing Doug and knowing he was well seemed to ease (減輕) their suffering. Ill never forget seeing Dougs tall figure stooped (彎腰) over Elizabeth, her arms around his waist, as a mother would hug (擁抱) a son. 9、 We learn from

25、e they had done the right thing. In ancient (古老的) times the most important examinations were spoken instead of written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually includes saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, those students who

26、were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process (過(guò)程) of testing candidates (考生) for the doctors degree. Generally, however, modem examinations are written. T

27、he written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modem industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactl

28、y by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles (類似) a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines. One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" (客觀的) test. It is designed to do wit

29、h facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of (一系列的) questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not le

43、 答案: 閱讀理解 1、A [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“凱文的最大問(wèn)題是______?！睆奈恼碌谌蔚谝痪湓挕癇ut Kevins biggest headache is what to do with his money.”可以看出，他最大的問(wèn)題是怎樣花他的錢(qián)，所以本題的正確答案是A。 2、B [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“凱文被公司雇傭是因?yàn)開(kāi)_____。”從文章第五段第一句話“I got this job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs.”可知，

44、凱文被公司雇傭是因?yàn)楣镜娜酥浪呀?jīng)編制過(guò)一些程序。所以本題的正確答案為B。 3、C [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“凱文離開(kāi)學(xué)校是因?yàn)開(kāi)_____?！睆奈恼碌箶?shù)第二段第三句話“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school.”可知，凱文離開(kāi)學(xué)校是因?yàn)橛?jì)算機(jī)不是學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)的一部分。所以本題的正確答案為C。 4、C [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“為什么凱文認(rèn)為他可能會(huì)很早退休?”從文章最后一段結(jié)尾一句話“You never know when the market might disappear.”可知，凱文認(rèn)為人們

45、無(wú)法預(yù)料市場(chǎng)何時(shí)會(huì)消失，因此他希望多掙錢(qián)，如果市場(chǎng)不好就早退休。所以本題的正確答案為C。 5、B [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“為什么冬青樹(shù)低處的葉子有更多的刺?”從文章第二段最后一句話“Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. which is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.”可知，本題的正確答案為B。 6、B [解析] 推斷題。題干意為“橡樹(shù)用______保護(hù)自己?！睆奈恼碌谌?/p>

46、段第一句話“Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that are difficult for animals to eat.”可知，橡樹(shù)用又厚又硬的葉子保護(hù)自己。而又厚又硬的樹(shù)葉屬于植物自我保護(hù)的物理手段，所以可推知本題的正確答案為B。 7、C [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“煙草如何保護(hù)自己不受毛蟲(chóng)的侵害?”從文章第四段最后三句話可知，當(dāng)一只毛蟲(chóng)咬煙草葉子的時(shí)候，葉子會(huì)產(chǎn)生出一種化學(xué)信號(hào)。這種化學(xué)信號(hào)會(huì)向煙草的根部發(fā)出信息要求它產(chǎn)生更多的尼古丁，高濃度的尼古丁會(huì)阻止毛蟲(chóng)侵害。因此煙草保護(hù)自己不受毛蟲(chóng)的侵害

47、的辦法是產(chǎn)生更多的尼古丁，所以本題的正確答案為C。 8、D [解析] 主旨題。題干意為“這篇文章最好的標(biāo)題是什么?”整篇文章都在講植物是怎么保護(hù)自己的，所以本題的正確答案為D。 9、B [解析] 推斷題。題干意為“從文章中我們了解到托尼死于______?！睆奈恼碌谝欢巫詈笠痪湓挕癏is head struck the ground, hard.”和文章中第三段第一句話“Tonny was declared dead the next day.”可知，托尼的頭重重地撞在地上，第二天托尼就去世了。由此可以推斷出托尼死于頭部受傷。而干擾項(xiàng)C的迷惑性較大。從文章中第三段第一句話可知，托尼第二天

48、就去世了，可是第二天并非一定是24小時(shí)，而文章中提到的24小時(shí)是“24小時(shí)后托尼的肝臟被移植了”，指的是從托尼死亡到肝臟移植的這段時(shí)間。所以本題的正確答案為B。 10、B [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“為什么托尼父母決定捐獻(xiàn)他的器官?”從文章第二段第三句話“Maybe I can spare another family this pain, she thought.”可知，托尼父母決定捐獻(xiàn)他的器官是因?yàn)檫@樣他們也許能免去另一個(gè)家庭失去親人的痛苦。本題干擾項(xiàng)A的迷惑性較大。從文章第二段第二句話“She remembered that Tonny has once mentioned orga

49、n donation.”可知，托尼在生前曾經(jīng)提過(guò)捐獻(xiàn)器官的事，但是并不是臨去世的時(shí)候要求父母這么做的。因此，A選項(xiàng)中“just, before he died”的表述是錯(cuò)的。本題的正確答案為B。 11、A [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“作者和她的丈夫是從______知道托尼的死因的?！睆奈恼伦詈笠欢吻皟删湓挕癟he meeting was risky, but worth it. We learned for the first time how Tonny had lived and died.”可知，作者和她的丈夫是在聚會(huì)時(shí)從托尼的父母那里知道他的死因的。因此本題的正確答案為A。 12

50、、B [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“什么幫助減輕了霍恩夫婦的痛苦?”從文章最后一段第四句話“For the Hornes, seeing Doug and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering.”可知，對(duì)霍恩夫婦來(lái)說(shuō)，看到道格并知道他很健康似乎減輕了他們的痛苦。所以本題的正確答案為B。 13、A [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“在古代學(xué)生______?！睆奈恼碌谝欢蔚谝痪湓挕癐n ancient times the most important examinations were spoken instead of written

51、.”可知，在古代，最重要的考試都是口試而沒(méi)有筆試。所以本題的正確答案為A。 14、C [解析] 主旨題。題干意為“第三段的中心思想是______?！蔽恼碌谌我婚_(kāi)始就寫(xiě)到“一般說(shuō)來(lái)，現(xiàn)代考試的形式是筆試”，接下來(lái)又寫(xiě)到“一場(chǎng)全國(guó)性的考試中，考場(chǎng)坐滿了考生，考試時(shí)間嚴(yán)格以電子鐘為準(zhǔn)”。由此可見(jiàn)，第三段主要說(shuō)的是現(xiàn)代考試的形式是計(jì)時(shí)的筆試。所以本題的正確答案為C。 15、A [解析] 推斷題。題干意為“現(xiàn)代的工業(yè)一定是在______發(fā)展的?！睆奈恼碌谌蔚诙浜偷谌湓挕癟he written examination... of modern industry.”可知，直到19世紀(jì)這種使用

52、同樣的問(wèn)題來(lái)測(cè)驗(yàn)所有學(xué)生的筆試形式才為人所知。筆試的形成可能和人口的激增以及現(xiàn)代工業(yè)的發(fā)展有關(guān)。由此可以推知，現(xiàn)代的工業(yè)一定是在19世紀(jì)發(fā)展起來(lái)的。所以本題的正確答案為A。 16、B [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“學(xué)生必須選答案的考試是______考試。”從文章最后一段可知，在設(shè)計(jì)客觀題的時(shí)候，老師先出一系列的問(wèn)題，每個(gè)問(wèn)題后面都附有一個(gè)正確答案和幾個(gè)相似的答案。學(xué)生被要求找出正確答案。因此，學(xué)生必須選答案的考試是客觀考試。所以本題的正確答案為B。 17、D [解析] 推斷題。題干意為“從文章中可以得知考試______?！北绢}可以用排除法去做。因?yàn)槲恼轮袥](méi)有提到選項(xiàng)A、B、C的內(nèi)容，而選

53、項(xiàng)D的意思是“自從中世紀(jì)開(kāi)始，考試開(kāi)始有了變化”，符合文章的內(nèi)容。所以本題的正確答案為D。 18、C [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“下面哪一個(gè)陳述是正確的?”從文章中第一則廣告可知，參加演出的一些演員獲過(guò)獎(jiǎng)，而不是說(shuō)這些節(jié)目由獲過(guò)獎(jiǎng)的人來(lái)演出，故選項(xiàng)A不正確；從第三則廣告可知Story of Puppets是在北京人民藝術(shù)劇院演出而不是在中國(guó)兒童劇院，故選項(xiàng)B不正確；在第四則廣告中未提及京劇演出者來(lái)自全國(guó)各地，故選項(xiàng)D不正確；而從第二、三則廣告可知，這兩個(gè)劇院在三月五號(hào)都有演出，故有兩個(gè)劇可選擇。所以本題的正確答案為C。 19、B [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。在March 15繼續(xù)舉行演出的只有第一則廣告中所提到的雜技節(jié)目。所以本題的正確答案為B。 20、A [解析] 細(xì)節(jié)題。從文章中第三則廣告可知，Story of Puppets將京劇、昆曲、評(píng)劇等結(jié)合在一起，所以本題的正確答案為A。
