Reading a good biography is like wandering through an intellectual shopping mall. The first store is what drew you there, but you will be pleasantly surprised along the way at what other items grab your attention. 可知，一個(gè)好的傳記作家不僅講述一個(gè)人的故事，而且還在講述他們所處的時(shí)代。讀一本好的傳記就像漫步在一個(gè)充滿智慧的購(gòu)物中心。第一家商店吸引了你，但你會(huì)驚喜地發(fā)現(xiàn)，還有其它的商品吸引了你的注意力。所以作者把讀好的傳記比喻成購(gòu)物，將歷史人物和某個(gè)時(shí)期的歷史故事比喻成商店的商品。故判斷出第三段劃線的other items指的是某個(gè)時(shí)期的故事。故選B。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的For me, not to read biographies would rob me of pleasure in my life以及第三段 Indeed, few things are more relaxing to me than winding down the evening and entering into another world.可知，對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)，不讀傳記會(huì)剝奪我生活的樂(lè)趣。的確，沒(méi)有什么事情比悠閑地度過(guò)夜晚，進(jìn)入另一個(gè)世界更令我放松。所以作者認(rèn)為傳記閱讀令人愉快。故A選項(xiàng)作者認(rèn)為傳記閱讀令人愉快是正確的。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的First, I find good biographies fascinating.；第三段中的Second, I find good biographies informative.；第四段中的Third, I find good biographies relaxing. 以及最后段This is why I love reading good biographies, and why I pity the person who neglects them. Don39。t be counted among their number.可知，首先，我覺(jué)得好的傳記很吸引人。我發(fā)現(xiàn)好的傳記信息豐富。我發(fā)現(xiàn)好的傳記讓人放松。這就是為什么我喜歡讀好的傳記，以及為什么我同情忽視它們的人。不要成為那些不讀傳記的人群的一員?？芍?，作者通過(guò)自己的經(jīng)歷闡述了自己喜歡讀好的傳記的原因目的是推薦人們讀傳記。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，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 One of my first memories as a child in the 1950s was a discussion I had with my brother in our tiny bedroom in the family house in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. We had heard in school about a planet called Pluto. It was the farthest, coldest, and darkest thing a child could imagine. We guessed how long it would take to die if we stood on the surface of such a frozen place wearing only the clothes we had on. We tried to figure out how much colder Pluto was than Antarctica, or than the coldest day we had ever experienced in Pennsylvania. Pluto, which famously was downgraded from a “major planet” to a “dwarf planet”（矮星） in 2006, captured our imagination because it was a mystery that could plete our picture of what it was like at the most remote corners of our solar system. Pluto39。s underdog discovery story is part of what makes it so attractive. Clyde Tombaugh was a Kansas farm boy who built telescopes out of spare auto parts, old farm equipment and selfground lenses. As an assistant at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, Tombaugh39。s task was to search millions of stars for a moving point of light, a planet that the observatory39。s founder thought existed beyond the orbit of Neptune. On February 18，1930，Tombaugh found it. Pluto was the first planet discovered by an American, and represented a moment of light in the midst of the Great Depression39。s dark encroachment (入侵). Pluto is much more than something that is not a planet. It39。s a reminder that there are many worlds out there beyond our own and that the sky isn39。t the limit at all. We don39。t know what kinds of fantastic variations on a theme nature is capable of making until we get there to look.（1）Why did Pluto bee famous in 2006 according to the passage?A.Because it lost its major planet status.B.Because it disappeared in the sky.C.Because it was discovered by an American.D.Because it was proved to be the coldest planet in the universe.（2）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.An American Scientist: Clyde TombaughB.Pluto was First Discovered by a BoyC.Pluto39。s Strange RomanceD.The Days I Spent with My Brother in Pennsylvania（3）What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A.Clyde Tombaugh discovered the darkness in the Great Depression.B.Pluto was the only planet that was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh.C.Clyde Tombaugh39。s job was to build telescopes for Lowell Observatory.D.Clyde Tombaugh39。s telescopes used for searching stars were very simple.（4）What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph most probably mean?A.Pluto is no less than a planet in the solar system.B.Pluto is much more than a planet in the solar system.C.Pluto is more important than any other planet in the sky.D.Pluto is not a planet in the solar system, but it is more than a planet.【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）D（4）D 【解析】【分析】文章講述了小時(shí)候作者對(duì)冥王星的認(rèn)識(shí)，以及冥王星被發(fā)現(xiàn)和被從太陽(yáng)系去除的經(jīng)過(guò)，更表現(xiàn)了冥王星的神秘和魅力，這使作者認(rèn)識(shí)到宇宙是無(wú)窮的，也是不斷變化的，需要我們不停去探索。( 1 )推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段Pluto, which famously was downgraded from a “major planet” to a “dwarf planet”（矮星）in 2006, captured our imagination because it was a mystery that could plete our picture of what it was like at the most remote corners of our solar system可知，在2006年冥王星被從太陽(yáng)系大行星中被去除，失去了其大行星地位，故選A。( 2 )主旨大意題。文章主要講述的是冥王星的被發(fā)現(xiàn)和被從太陽(yáng)系去除的經(jīng)過(guò)，更表現(xiàn)了它的神秘和魅力。C項(xiàng)“冥王星的奇怪浪漫史”概括全文，故選C。( 3 )推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段Clyde Tombaugh was a Kansas farm boy who built telescopes out of spare auto parts, old farm equipment and selfground February 18，1930，Tombaugh found it. Pluto was the first planet discovered by an American, and represented a moment of light in the midst of the Great Depression39。s dark encroachment (入侵).可知，是Clyde Tombaugh用他簡(jiǎn)陋的儀器發(fā)現(xiàn)了冥王星，成了第一個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)行星的美國(guó)人，并且給黑暗的大蕭條時(shí)期帶來(lái)了一線光明。故選D。( 4 )猜測(cè)句意題。此句指冥王星的發(fā)現(xiàn)并不僅僅是一顆行星，它還讓我們知道了宇宙無(wú)限大，天空根本不是極限，它們是不斷變化的需要我們?nèi)ヌ剿?。故選D?！军c(diǎn)評(píng)】考查科普類短文閱讀。6．閱讀理解 Our mother earth is going through a very tough situation and we, the entire human race, are destroying our environment or unconsciously without even realizing its consequences.
