Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting.”可知，折紙是一個具有創(chuàng)造性的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)，我們不用裁剪或拼貼，只通過折疊就可以把一張正方形或者三角形的紙變成動物、紙盒、花、船等東西，由此推測折紙需要有創(chuàng)造性的和有趣的想法。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a wellknown ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard.”可知折紙愛好者Lang向一位制造商建議了把安全氣囊折疊到儀表盤中的最佳方式。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Applications for origami engineering go further than many of us might imagine”可知Erik Demaine認(rèn)為折紙工程的應(yīng)用遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了我們的想象，由此可推測Erik Demaine對折紙工程的未來充滿希望。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar panels that folded like a map.”；第三段中的“Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a advised wellknown ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard.”； 第四段中的“There39。s no doubt that puters of the future may contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors for faster processing and better memory. ”和第五段中的“‘Some day,’ says MIT39。s Erik Demaine, ‘we39。ll build reconfigurable (可重構(gòu)的) robots that can fold on their own from one thing into another, like Transformers.’”可知衛(wèi)星，安全氣囊的折疊，未來電腦的發(fā)展和未來可重構(gòu)機(jī)器人，這些都和科學(xué)技術(shù)相關(guān)，故推測本文很有可能出現(xiàn)在報紙的科學(xué)板塊。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。3．閱讀理解 Some international languages are widely used formany purposes. Some minority languages will die out and some nations tend tokeep minority languages. I reckon that most mon used internationallanguages ease our life quality and munication with different the other hand, we need to help improve minority languages. There are many languages in the entire world buttwo or three minority languages die out each year. Some countries try to savedying languages. For instance, Australian Government created a project to savethe language and culture of Maori who are Australian aborigines. And there areother projects to keep minority languages such as American Indian language. However, the worldwide job market usuallyrequires candidates who can speak English or other international who cannot speak lingua franca (共通語) could hardly be promotedat work. For example, some panies need an employee who can deal with foreignpanies. So most people tend to learn at least one international languagethat helps them to find a better job. Therefore, world needs one mon lingua francathat should be spoken in any country. Consequently, one mon language shouldbe a required subject in every school. So anyone speaking one mon languagecan travel without worries to any point of the world and trade their products. Peoplewill not be forced to learn many languages. In conclusion, we should help minority nationsto keep their languages for the cultural diversity. To ease the worldwidemunication among nations, we should create a mon language and providecourses of it. As a result, no one will face a language issue.（1）What does the underlined word “reckon” in Paragraph 1 mean? A.Deny.B.Fear.C.Ignore.D.Think.（2）What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A.Not all minority languages are useful.B.Some minority languages have died out.C.Maori is attractive to Australian tourists.D.American Indian language is well preserved.（3）Why do most people study more international languages? A.It benefits their journey.B.They can earn more money.C.It does good to find a good job.D.They are eager to get promoted.（4）How can we stay away from language problems? A.By learning a mon language.B.By wiping out minority languages.C.By studying more languages at college.D.By municating more with foreigners.【答案】（1）D（2）B（3）C（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，一些國際語言被廣泛用于許多目的，多數(shù)人學(xué)習(xí)更多的國際語言是為了找到一份好工作。作者建議通過學(xué)習(xí)一種共同的語言來解決語言問題。（1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中的“Some minority languages will die out and some nations tend to keep minority languages. ”一些少數(shù)民族語言消亡，一些國家傾向于保持少數(shù)民族語言?！盜 reckon that most mon used international languages ease our life quality and munication with different nationalities.”我認(rèn)為最常用的國際語言緩解我們的生活質(zhì)量和與不同民族的溝通。由上下文聯(lián)系推知劃線詞的意思是“想，認(rèn)為”。故選D。（2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“There are many languages in the entire world but two or three minority languages die out each year.”可知一些少數(shù)民族的語言已經(jīng)滅絕。故選B。（3）考
