Sometimes we39。d help our neighbor Mr. Mueller pull weeds. One Christmas Day, there was a knock at the door. Grandma opened it, and there stood a big fellow in red with a snowwhite beard, laughing, “Ho, ho, ho!” He handed out presents and made us laugh. I had so much fun. It was years later when I learned that our special Santa was our neighbor Mr. Mueller. Joanne Tang, Litchfield Park, Arizona（1）Why was Kylie surprised when running into a different Santa?

He stopped to ask what she wanted for Christmas. Kylie was surprised and let him know: ‘If you can39。t remember what I told you last week, how are you going to remember on Christmas Eve?!’”可知，當(dāng)Kylie遇到另一個(gè)圣誕老人時(shí)，她感到很驚訝，因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為他們是同一個(gè)圣誕老人。故選D。(2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“That39。s just some guy in a Santa suit,” he said. It saddened me to think that maybe my son no longer believed in Santa, and we drove the rest of the way in silence. At the mall, we spotted another Santa greeting young believers. Suddenly, Mike took off toward him. Turning back to me, he shouted. ‘Now, there39。s the real Santa!’”可知，邁克遇到一個(gè)圣誕老人，他認(rèn)為這個(gè)只是穿著圣誕老人的一個(gè)人而已；但在商場(chǎng)，碰到另一個(gè)圣誕老人，他卻認(rèn)為這個(gè)是真的，所以推知父母對(duì)邁克對(duì)圣誕老人的態(tài)度感到疑惑。故選C。(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“He handed out presents and made us laugh. I had so much fun. It was years later when I learned that our special Santa was our neighbor Mr. Mueller.”可知，在圣誕節(jié)Mr. Mueller以圣誕老人的身份送出禮物。故選B?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Durian(榴蓮) is probably the smelliest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因組) and find out, Durian is wellknown throughout Southeast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur pounds (含硫化合物), became very active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell. The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur pounds. Other species usually benefit from two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell. However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contributing to the distribution of the species. The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the cacao tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics. Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, significantly contributing to the economy.（1）What give durian its unique smell? A.Onions nearby.B.Two gene copies.C.Rotten ingredients in it.D.Volatile sulfur pounds.（2）What does the underlined word “evolved” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Developed.B.Escaped.C.Predicted.D.Tolerated.（3）What can we infer from the text? A.No birds enjoy eating durian.B.Durian can be planted all over the world.C.Some of durian species can not be eaten.D.Durian has no relationship with the cacao tree.（4）What39。s the best title for the text?
