【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 over, the poet Percy Shelley (whom she married later that year), visited the poet Lord Byron at his villa beside Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Stormy weather frequently forced them indoors, where they and Byron39。s other guests sometimes read from a volume of ghost stories. One evening, Byron challenged his guests to each write one themselves. Mary39。s story, inspired by a dream, became Frankentein（科學(xué)怪人）. “When I placed my head upon my pillow, I did not sleep, nor could I be said to thinkMy eyes shut ,I sawwith my acute mental visionthe pale student of unholy arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the ugly figure of a man stretch out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and tremble with an uneasy motion, extremely frightful. The next morning I announced that I had thought of a story. I began that day with the words, 39。It was on a dull night of November39。, making only a transcript(文字稿) of the cruel terror of my waking dream.”（1）We can learn from the whole passage that_________. A.Some great stories, poems and songs were created while their writers sleptB.Paul McCartney likes writing songs in dreamsC.Frankentein was written by Byron39。s guestsD.Byron was an ugly frightful Frankentein（2）The underlined word“melody”has the similar meaning of _______. A.dreamB.songC.tuneD.instrument（3）Which is the best title of the whole passage? A.The Greatest writersB.The most famous song and storyC.Great dreams that e trueD.How to dream【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，縱觀歷史，很多藝術(shù)家、發(fā)明家、作家和科學(xué)家都曾經(jīng)在夢(mèng)中解決問(wèn)題。本文舉例講述了兩個(gè)夢(mèng)境成真的故事。（1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Throughout history, artist, inventors, writers and scientists have solved problems in their dreams. Now, let39。s have a look together at some of them.”可知，很多藝術(shù)家、發(fā)明家、作家和科學(xué)家都曾經(jīng)在夢(mèng)中解決問(wèn)題。因此可知，一些偉大的故事，詩(shī)歌和歌曲是在作家睡覺(jué)的時(shí)候創(chuàng)作的。故選A。（2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù) ⒈P(pán)aul McCartney Found Yesterday in a dream部分中的“I woke up with a lovely tune in my head.”可知，“我”醒來(lái)腦海中還有那可愛(ài)的旋律，結(jié)合下文的敘述，我身邊正好有鋼琴，我下了床，坐在鋼琴邊，譜出了曲子合乎邏輯，因此可知，此處表示我非常喜歡這個(gè)曲調(diào)。melody指的是曲調(diào)。故選C。（3）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)開(kāi)篇所說(shuō)，結(jié)合下面的舉例可推知，文章主要是在講夢(mèng)想照進(jìn)現(xiàn)實(shí)，夢(mèng)在現(xiàn)實(shí)中成真了。因此推斷C項(xiàng)“好夢(mèng)成真”為最佳標(biāo)題。故選C?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Many scientists today are convinced that life exists elsewhere in the universelife probably much like that on our own planet. They reason in the following way. As far as astronomers can determine, the entire universe is built of the same matter. They have no reason to doubt that matter obeys the same laws in every part of the universe. Therefore, it is reasonable to guess that other stars, with their own planets, were born in the same way as our own solar system. What we know of life on earth suggests that life will arise wherever the proper conditions exist. Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere. This eliminates(除去) all those planets in the universe that are not about the same size and weight as the earth. A smaller planet would lose its atmosphere。 a larger one would hold too much of it. Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. Only single stars that are steady sources of heat and light like our sun would qualify. Finally, life could evolve(進(jìn)化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun. With a weaker sun than our own, the planet would have to be closer to it. With a stronger sun, it would have to be farther away. If we suppose that every star in the universe has a family of planets, then how many planets might support life? First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets。 they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet. It may not have begun yet, or it may have already died out. This process of elimination seems to leave very few planets on which earthlike life might be found. However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.（1）The existence of life depends on all of the following factors EXCEPT . right amount of atmosphere own solar system heat and light right distance from the sun（2）Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? planet must be as big and heavy as the earth. conditions are essential to the existence of life. stars can provide steady light and heat. distance between a planet and its sun should be right.（3）What kind of planet might NOT support life? of the planets of the stars. similar to our sun. similar to the earth. with proper conditions.（4）At the end of the passage the author suggests that . is impossible for life to exist on planets life could only exist on a few planets could exist on only one planet in a million could exist on a great number of planets【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，整個(gè)宇宙都是由同一種物質(zhì)構(gòu)成的，物質(zhì)在宇宙的每一部分都遵循同樣的規(guī)律。因此，我們有理由猜測(cè)，其他恒星，以及它們自己的行星，都是以與我們太陽(yáng)系相同的方式誕生的。我們對(duì)地球上生命的了解表明，只要存在適當(dāng)?shù)臈l件，生命就會(huì)出現(xiàn)。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere”；第四段中“Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light.”以及第五段中“Finally, life could evolve(進(jìn)化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun”可知，生命的進(jìn)化需要適當(dāng)數(shù)量和種類的大氣、穩(wěn)定的光和熱供應(yīng)以及行星與太陽(yáng)的距離恰到好處。文章中沒(méi)有提到生命的進(jìn)化需要太陽(yáng)系。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. ” 可知，生命也需要穩(wěn)定的光和熱供應(yīng)。這就排除了雙星，或突然爆發(fā)的恒星。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets。 they are either too far from or too close to thei
