【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 It39。s all too easily assumed that family history lives in tangible(有形的)things— old photographs, a dress bought decades ago for a night heavy with memories — but that39。s not quite right. These things were only reminders of what we already carry with us in head and heart. Walking through the house, sweeping up the broken glass, I realised that the answer to the old question of What would you save in a fire? is actually that nothing really matters but each other.（1）What happened to the author39。s house? caught a fire. was affected by a fire. was broken into by friends. windows were broken.（2）What does the underlined word suspected in Paragraph 3 refer to? that may be damaged. that may not be genuine. that may not be so good. that may be dangerous.（3）What did the author expect to feel? around him were cold to others39。 trouble. friends and neighbours were so generous. in his munity were close to each other. was so lucky to find much that was good.（4）How will the author probably feel when the New Year finally es? ....【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，作者家房子受到火災(zāi)影響，物品受損，一切都需要清理，但朋友們和鄰居們提供的幫助，讓作者感受到了他們的善良，對(duì)他們感恩。作者感受到擁有彼此才是最重要的。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“our neighbour39。s house had caught fire while they were out. The fire didn39。t spread to our house but the smoke very much did.”；第三段中的“every single thing into which smoke could have permeated”可知鄰居家在外出時(shí)著火了，雖然火沒有蔓延到作者家，但煙殃及了房子，作者家的房子受到了影響。故選B。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第三段中的“every single thing into which smoke could have permeated(滲透)because the particles(微粒) are an ongoing health risk and washing isn39。t enough.”可知每件被煙霧滲透的物品都要專門清洗或扔掉，因?yàn)槟切┪⒘Ｍ{健康，有的僅清洗是不行的。此句涉及的那些柔軟的東西被認(rèn)為可能是被污染損害的東西，suspected指的就是這些東西。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“What I didn39。t expect to feel, however, is this lucky.”作者沒想到的是自己家很幸運(yùn)，下文提到朋友們和鄰居們都提供了幫助，作者從中感受到了他們的善良。由此推知作者原來認(rèn)為的是人們會(huì)對(duì)別人家的困難很冷漠，故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“We will be seeing in the New Year in a decidedly minimalist fashion.”可知作者家房子受到火災(zāi)影響，物品受損，一切都需要清理，作者認(rèn)為即將到來的新年肯定是簡(jiǎn)約的。但朋友們和鄰居們提供的幫助，讓作者感受到了他們的善良，對(duì)他們感恩；再根據(jù)最后一段中的“I realised that the answer to the old question of ‘What would you save in a fire? ’ is actually that nothing really matters but each other.”作者感受到擁有彼此才是最重要的。這些說明作者是滿足的，故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 A bite from a tsetse fly (采采蠅) is an extremely unpleasant experience. It is not like a mosquito, which can put its thin mouthpart directly into your blood, often without you noticing. In contrast, the tsetse fly39。s mouth has tiny saws on it that saw into your skin on its way to suck out your blood. To make matters worse, several species of tsetse fly can transmit diseases. One of the most dangerous is a parasite that causes ＂sleeping sickness＂, or ＂human African trypanosomiasis＂to give it its official name. Without treatment, an infection is usually fatal. Like so many tropical diseases, sleeping sickness has often been neglected by medical researchers. However, researchers have long endeavored to understand how it avoids our bodies39。 defence mechanisms. Some of their insights could now help us eliminate sleeping sickness altogether. There are two closelyrelated singlecelled parasites that cause this deathly sleep: Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and T. b. gambiense. The latter is far more mon: it is responsible for up to 95% of cases, mostly in western Africa. It takes several years to kill a person, while T. brucei rhodesiense can cause death within months. There are still other forms that infect livestock. After the initial bite, sleeping sickness symptoms often start with a fever, headaches and aching muscles. As the illness goes on, those infected bee increasingly tired, which is where it gets its name. Personality changes, severe confusion and poor coordination can also happen. While medication does help, some treatments are toxic and can themselves be deadly, especially if they are given after the disease has reached the brain. It is worth noting that sleeping sickness is no longer as deadly as it once was. In the early 20th Century several hundred thousand people were infected each year. By the 1960s the disease was considered ＂under control＂ and had reached very low numbers, making its spread more difficult. But in the 1970s there was another major epidemic, which took 20 years to control. Since then, better screening programmes and earlier interventions have reduced the number of cases dramatically. In 2009 there were fewer than 10,000 cases for the first time since records began, and in 2015 this figure dropped to fewer than 3,000, according to the latest figures from the World Health Organisation. The WHO hopes the disease will be pletely eliminated by 2020. While this decline looks positive, there may be many more cases that go unreported in rural Africa. To eliminate the disease pletely, infections have to be closely monitored. More problematically, a series of new studies have shown that the parasite is more plicated than previously believed. Sleeping sickness has always been considered —— and diagnosed —— as a blood disease, because T. brucei parasites can readily be detected in the blood of its victims.（1）A tsetse fly is different from a mosquito in that________.
