There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweetmeats are candy， while sweetbreads, which aren39。t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes(悖論), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don39。t fing, grocers don39。t groce, and hammers don39。t ham？If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn39。t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next？ English was invented by people, not puters, and it shows the creativity of human beings. That39。s why, when stars are out, they are visible。 but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it。 but when I wind up this essay, I end it.（1）Which of the following words or expressions have the similar meaning? and oversee. a lot and quite a few. as hell and cold as hell. wise man and a wise guy.（2）What does the author probably think of English people? ....（3）What can we learn from the text? rings should be round. should be eggs in an eggplant. are the apples on the pine tree. and sweetbreads are different things.（4）How does the author organize the text? the order of time. the order of place. giving a great number of examples. paring English with the other languages.（5）What39。s the tone(語氣)of the text? and proud. and unsure. and disappointed. and lighthearted.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）C（5）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，論述了為什么英語是一門瘋狂的語言。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike?”overlook和oversee怎么會是反義詞，而quite a lot和quite a few卻是很相似的呢？可知，quite a lot和quite a few有相似的意思。故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“English was invented by people, not puters, and it reflects the creativity of human beings.”英語是由人而不是計算機發(fā)明的，它反映了人類的創(chuàng)造力，以及列舉了英語中的許多悖論可推知，作者想表明英國人是很聰明的。故選A。 （3）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Sweetmeats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren39。t sweet, are meat.”蜜餞是糖果，雜碎是肉，但不甜，可知，蜜餞和雜碎是不同的東西。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Why does night fall but never break and day break but never fall？Why are people who ride motorcycles called bikers and people who ride bikes called cyclists？”為什么黑夜降臨，卻沒有黎明；為什么白天破曉，卻沒有黃昏？為什么騎摩托車的人叫騎手，騎自行車的人叫騎自行車的人?以及下文可知，作者主要是通過大量的例子來論證英語是一門多么瘋狂的語言的。故選C。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.”英語是一門瘋狂的語言。茄子里沒有雞蛋，菠蘿里也沒有松樹和蘋果，漢堡包里也沒有火腿，及下文所舉的多個詞可知，這些詞的意思并不是詞的表面意思。由此可以判斷出，作者以既幽默又輕松的語氣在論述英語是一門瘋狂的語言。故選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy. But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit? Health experts answer these and other questions. Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule of yes about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise, he explains, if your symptoms (癥狀)are all above the neck. These signs may include a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing or a minor sore throat. Geralyn Coopersmith is a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise and nutrition. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear below the neck. Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion, extreme cough or pain in the stomach. There are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include: a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling extremely tired, and widespread muscle pain. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don39。t feel too bad, these experts both suggest reducing the amount of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.（1）How long should people do exercise to keep healthy? 150 minutes per day. 100 minutes per day. least 150 minutes per week. more than 100 minutes per week.（2）When will Edward R. Laskowski say no to exercise? your left leg is broken. you have a runny noses. you have a blocked nose. you have a minor sore throat.（3）What is the meaning of listening to your body in Paragraph 6? careful with your cars. to take advice of others. attention to body signals. to music to keep healthy.（4）What will the writer be likely to agree with? makes perfect. seek, nothing find. your heart into exercise. according to your abilities.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）C（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，鍛煉有助于保持身體健康，但是在感覺不適的時候，要看具體情況：如果病癥出現(xiàn)在“頸部以上”的位置，通常可以鍛煉；如果病癥出現(xiàn)在“頸部以下”，請暫停鍛煉。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的 Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. 可知，鍛煉有助于保持身體健康，美國心臟協(xié)會的醫(yī)生建議每周至少進行150分鐘的適當體育鍛煉，因此人們應該每周至少運動150分鐘才能保持健康。故選C。 （2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“ Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a bre
