I never let them take rides from people they didn39。t know.”和第五段中的“Isn39。t there enough crime (犯罪) today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking? On the other hand, hitchhiking may bring some traffic trouble.”可知作者一直教育他的孩子不要和陌生人講話更不能坐陌生人的車，他認(rèn)為即使沒有搭便車所造成的麻煩，當(dāng)今的犯罪已經(jīng)夠多了，而且搭便車還會給交通帶來麻煩。故推測作者是一個很細(xì)心而且見過很多事的人。故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的 “Don39。t they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver or not? They know nothing!” 可知作者認(rèn)為很多人不知道搭便車很危險，故推測他寫信的目的是讓報紙?zhí)嵝讶藗兇畋丬囄ｋU。故選A。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Can39。t your newspaper do something about the custom (習(xí)慣) of hitchhiking?”作者反問報紙“難道你們的報紙不能為搭便車的習(xí)慣做些事嗎？”可推測，如果是一個好的編輯，在看到信后會寫一篇關(guān)于搭便車會有安全隱患的文章刊登到報紙上。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(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。 4．閱讀理解 You probably know the basics of how paratives(比較級) and superlatives(最高級) work in the English language. When paring something, you often add an er to the end of the parative adjective. The general rule is that onesyllable(音節(jié)) words get the suffix(后綴), and polysyllabic words get more or most. That is, unless the twosyllable word ends in a y。 if that39。s the case, you will add the suffixes and change the y to an i. But what about the word fun? This simple adjective only has one syllable, so you39。d think you39。d add suffixes on it to create superlatives. But if you were to say I think Magic Kingdom is a funner park than Epcot. or Disney World was the funnest vacation ever! you might get some strange looks. It doesn39。t sound quite right. But…why? Fun is one syllable, so why do we choose more fun as the parative—especially considering that the similar word funny, which has more syllables than fun, uses the suffixes with no problem? Well, the problem es from the fact that the word fun was not originally an adjective. Until the early 19th century, it was mostly just a noun, and it gained its meaning as amusement in the 18th century. But as early as the 1800s, people began using it as an adjective, the way we39。d describe a fun time or a fun place today. Basically, language is still developing. Grammarians have mostly e around to the use of fun as an adjective (though some dictionaries still call it informal). There was (and remains) an agreement of Fine, you can use ‘fun39。 as an adjective…but, like, it39。s not really one, so it can39。t follow the rules of real adjectives. So they also agree that the answer to is funner a word? is yes. If you want to consider fun, as an adjective, then funner is indeed a word, as is funnest. But this doesn39。t mean that more fun and most fun are incorrect, though。 in fact, in formal writing, you39。ll probably still want to use those instead of funner and funnest. The English language is chockfull of uncertain grammar rules。 there39。s no need to insist that a word breaks the mon rules of language just because we didn39。t used to use it in a way we do now.（1）How do paratives and superlatives work in the English language? A.Put more or most before onesyllable adjectives.B.Add er or est to most polysyllabic adjectives.C.Put more or most before polysyllabic adjectives.D.Add er or est straight to twosyllable words ending in a y.（2）People didn39。t used to use funner or funnest partly because ______________.

A.Is funner a word?B.A general rule of English grammar.C.The development of English language.D.The paratives and superlatives of adjectives.【答案】 （1）C（2）C（3）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了英語形容詞比較級和最高級中，單詞fun的比較級和最高級變化規(guī)則而展開。告訴了我們單詞fun詞性的歷史演變，英語充滿了不確定的語法規(guī)則。沒有必要僅僅因為我們過去不像現(xiàn)在這樣使用一個詞就認(rèn)為它違反了語言的一般規(guī)則。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“The general rule is that onesyllable words get the suffix, and polysyllabic words get 39。more39。 or 39。most.39。一般規(guī)則是單音節(jié)單詞詞尾添加后綴，多音節(jié)單詞則需要添加more或most?？芍谟⒄Z比較級和最高級中，在多音節(jié)形容詞前加more或most。故選C。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的”Until the early 19th century, it was mostly just a noun, and it gained its meaning as amusement in the 18th century. But as early as the 1800s, people began using it as an adjective, the way we39。d describe a fun time or ‘a(chǎn) fun place“today.”直到19世紀(jì)早期，它還只是一個名詞，到了18世紀(jì)才有了娛樂的含義。但早在19世紀(jì)，人們就開始把它用作形容詞，我們今天用它來形容有趣的時間或有趣的地方。可知過去的人們不習(xí)慣使用funner或funnest，部分原因是這個詞最初用作名詞。故選C。 （3）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“But what about the word fun?
