took off toward him. Turning back to me, he shouted. “Now, there39。s the real Santa!” Michael E. Fahey, Huntley, Illinois We immigrated to America from China when I was six. Because I was shy and didn39。t speak English, I had few friends. My days were spent at home with my brother. Sometimes we39。d help our neighbor Mr. Mueller pull weeds. One Christmas Day, there was a knock at the door. Grandma opened it, and there stood a big fellow in red with a snowwhite beard, laughing, “Ho, ho, ho!” He handed out presents and made us laugh. I had so much fun. It was years later when I learned that our special Santa was our neighbor Mr. Mueller.

He stopped to ask what she wanted for Christmas. Kylie was surprised and let him know: ‘If you can39。t remember what I told you last week, how are you going to remember on Christmas Eve?!’”可知,當(dāng)Kylie遇到另一個圣誕老人時,她感到很驚訝,因為她認為他們是同一個圣誕老人。故選D。(2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“That39。s just some guy in a Santa suit,” he said. It saddened me to think that maybe my son no longer believed in Santa, and we drove the rest of the way in silence. At the mall, we spotted another Santa greeting young believers. Suddenly, Mike took off toward him. Turning back to me, he shouted. ‘Now, there39。s the real Santa!’”可知,邁克遇到一個圣誕老人,他認為這個只是穿著圣誕老人的一個人而已;但在商場,碰到另一個圣誕老人,他卻認為這個是真的,所以推知父母對邁克對圣誕老人的態(tài)度感到疑惑。故選C。(3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“He handed out presents and made us laugh. I had so much fun. It was years later when I learned that our special Santa was our neighbor Mr. Mueller.”可知,在圣誕節(jié)Mr. Mueller以圣誕老人的身份送出禮物。故選B?!军c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(zhǔn)確捕捉細節(jié)信息,同時根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 Amazing concept images have shown what homes of the future could look like, as preparations are made for the world39。s first free from 3Dprinted property (房產(chǎn)). Experts will build a house called Curve Appeal, which will be 3Dprinted offsite before being put together onsite to create two outside walls, a roof and an inside part. These four main sections will then be joined together. Although 3Dprinted buildings have been made before, this home to be constructed in Chattanooga, Tennessee, later this year — will be the first of its kind, as it will contain no regular shapes or angles. The house is the creation of the design pany WATG, based in London and California. The design for Curve Appeal draws inspiration from the Case Study House program. The architects leading the program were famed for constantly pushing the limits in terms of minimalist (極簡主義) materials, and trying to create openplan spaces that focused on enhancing (增強) natural light. In a written statement, a spokesman for WATG said, “Employing many of the same modem design principles, Curve Appeal is the next evolutionary step. It39。s important that the architecture and the environment work together harmoniously. The chosen site is steps away from the Tennessee River in a beautiful wooded, sunlit area.” WATG was awarded the first prize in the Freeform Home Design Challenge in 2016 and given prize money of $ 8,000 to make its plans a reality. The petition was aimed at architects, designers, engineers and artists. Participants were challenged to design a 600 to 800sq ft singlefamily home that rethinks traditional aesthetics (美學(xué)), ergonomics, construction, building systems and structure. Over the last year, WATG39。s Chicago office has been developing their design with Branch Technology. This project is currently underway, working towards breaking ground later this year. Once pleted, the Curve Appeal home will have open and lightfilled inside living spaces.(1)From the passage we can know that Curve Apple . A.will be different from an ordinary houseB.is the first 3Dprinted buildingC.has apparent walls and a roofD.was ever built in the world(2)Where is the architect located according to Paragraph 4? A.Far away from the Tennessee River.B.In the woods near the Tennessee River.C.Between the Tennessee River and the woods.D.Next to some modem architectures.(3)What does the Freeform Home Design Challenge do? A.It motivates participants to design at random.B.It emphasizes traditions rather than modernization.C.It sponsors petitors when necessary.D.It helps put creative ideas into practice.(4)What39。s the passage mainly about? A.What our homes will look like in the future.B.The Freeform Home Design Challenge.C.The world39。s first freeform 3Dprinted house.D.The development of 3D in architecture.【答案】(1)A(2)B(3)D(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了世界上第一個免費的3D打印房子。(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Experts will build a house called Curve Appeal, which will be 3Dprinted offsite before being put together onsite to create two outside walls, a roof and a
