I thought if l could get an internship,可知,作者無意中聽到來自舊金山的一家大公司在自己所住酒店的隔壁開派對,她在想自己能否在那家公司得到一個實習的機會,因此,2011年作者去達拉斯是為了尋找一個實習機會,故選D。(2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據最后一段中的By leaving Texas, I learned that it is so much more rewarding to try the unfamiliar than to stay in the fortable.可知,作者認識到嘗試不熟悉的東西比呆在舒適區(qū)更有意義,也就是說作者從這個經歷中學到的最大的教訓是跳出舒適區(qū)是有意義的,故選B。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據第三段中的I wasn39。t invited to the StubHub party. But you know I39。m the type of person who goes for something she wants.可知,作者沒有被邀請參加派對,但她是那種追求她想要的東西的人,由此可見作者很堅定,再根據I crashed the party and found my way to the president.

As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fadeor so we thought, as she didn39。t mention it again. We bought the latest fashionable Baby Sitter39。s Club dolls, a holiday dress and some beautiful story books. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she proudly announced that she really wanted a bike more than anything else. It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying lastminute gifts. We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. What if I make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike? Her dad asked. The theory, of course, being that since that is a highticket item and she is such a big girl, it would be much better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next five hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike. Three hours later, on Christmas morning, we were excited for Rose to open the little heartshaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. She looked at me and then at her dad and said, so does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one? Beaming, I said, Yes. Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I39。d rather keep this than get a real bike. At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!(1)Rose39。s parents didn39。t buy her the bike she wanted because ______. A.they had bought many other wonderful things for herB.they thought she had changed her mindC.they didn39。t have time to do any shoppingD.they decided to make one for her(2)Why did Dad make the clay bicycle? A.He thought Rose was too young for a real bike.B.He didn39。t want to disappoint his daughter.C.He thought his daughter would like it.D.He wanted to give his daughter a surprise.(3)From the story, we know that ______. A.Rose39。s father was an artist with special skillsB.Rose would trade in the clay bike for a real oneC.The parents were moved and proud of the girlD.Rose was a thoughtful and independent girl【答案】 (1)B(2)B(3)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,Rose希望圣誕節(jié)收到一輛自行車。父母沒有給她買自行車,因為他們認為Rose可能對自行車失去了興趣,為了滿足女兒的愿望,爸爸決定給她做個粘土的自行車讓她去換個新的,但是Rose決定保留這個粘土自行車,不要新的自行車。 (1)考查細節(jié)理解。根據第二段中的As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fadeor so we thought, as she didn39。t mention it ,作者夫妻倆認為Rose買自行車的愿望褪去了,所以沒給她買。故選B。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據第三段中的We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child可推知,作者夫妻因為沒有幫女兒實現圣誕節(jié)的愿望而內疚,為了不讓Rose失望,決定做一個黏土自行車模型先送給Rose,之后Rose可以用它來兌換一輛真正的自行車。故選B。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據最后一段“ At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!”作者夫婦愿意竭盡全力給Rose買自行車可推知:這對父母親為女兒的行為而感到并覺得自豪。故選C。 【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,是一篇故事類閱讀,考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息,并根據上下文進行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 Make way, good people, make way, in the King39。s name! cried he. Open a text。 and, I promise you, Mistress Prynne shall be set where man, woman, and child, may have a fair sight of her brave clothing, from this time till an hour past noon. A blessing on the moral Colony of the Massachusetts, where immorality is dragged out into the sunshine! Come along, Madam Hester, and show your scarlet (鮮紅色的;罪孽深重的)letter in the marketplace! A lane was at once opened through the crowd. Led by the beadle (獄吏),and attended by an irregular procession of seriouslooking men and unkindlooking women, Hester Prynne set forth towards the place appointed for her punishment. A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, understanding little of the matte
