【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 I went on. Smoke soon started to appear. I39。m not quite sure if it was the burger or the grill but as soon as I opened the door, the electricity cut out, I spent the fallowing 10 minutes in a dark, smoky room hunting for the power switch using the light from my mobile phone, which broke the week after and left me without a connection to the outer world. Luckily, I39。m now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned. No more things have broken (probably because there is nothing left to break). I am learning how to adapt to life with limited, broken utensils (用具).（1）How did the author feel about her new life upon her arrival? was nervous to kick off the new job. was annoyed with the rude students. was full of enthusiasm about her new life. was satisfied with five alarm clocks in her room.（2）What was the trend in the following weeks? flat became dirtier. developed disability. began to go wrong. clothes needed mending.（3）What happened when the author was making a burger? suffered a big fire. made a terrible mistake. was seriously injured. broke her phone accidentally.（4）What can be inferred about the author from the end of the passage? will go on living here. will resign from her job. will more into a new flat. will buy new daily necessities.【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文為一篇記敘文，作者去西班牙的一個(gè)漂亮小島上做英語(yǔ)老師，雖然擁有自己的公寓，可是里邊的生活用具很老舊，給作者的生活帶來(lái)了諸多不便。這讓作者學(xué)會(huì)了如何利用有限的生活用品去生活。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“As a volunteer teacher, I moved into an apartment with eagerness. Sorting all the necessary paperwork out, I got ready to start my work. Great, or so I thought.”可知，作者懷著迫切心情搬進(jìn)公寓，整理好各種文件做好開(kāi)始工作的準(zhǔn)備，心想一切還不錯(cuò)。所以作者剛到的時(shí)候是滿懷熱情的。故選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Things in my flat started to break at the rate of one object per day, like the hot water line, bowls, cups, shower, doors or glass shelves.”；以及“If it wasn39。t broken, it would either be dirty or missing. Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting. When I took out my clothes, they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so bugs that were living in the bottom.”可知，接下來(lái)的幾周作者所住的房子里東西每天損壞一件，不壞的東西要么臟了，要么找不到了，洗衣籃里都是蟲(chóng)子。據(jù)此可推知，事情開(kāi)始出問(wèn)題。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“ I thought the general understanding was never to put metal in a microwave but I went on Smoke soon started to appear.”可知，作者本來(lái)知道不能把將金屬烤架放進(jìn)微波爐里，但是她還是這樣做了，導(dǎo)致冒煙，發(fā)生了故障。據(jù)此可知，作者在做漢堡時(shí)犯了個(gè)錯(cuò)誤。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“ I am also learning how to adapt to life with limited， broken utensils(用具)”可知，作者還在學(xué)習(xí)如何利用有限的破舊的日常用品適應(yīng)生活，因此推測(cè)她還會(huì)繼續(xù)住在這里。故選A。 【點(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，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。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?
