A.She wishes to establish the continuity of pets over history.B.She believes that studying the remains can help modern society relate to the past.C.She wants to identify the King39。s personal belongings and classify them.D.She doubts if current society will understand the significance of Egyptian remains.（4）This article probably encourages the readers to _____________. A.value the past by studying the remains left behind by our ancestorsB.make full use of the remains our ancestors have left behindC.understand that animal mummies are more important than gold and masksD.bee more sensitive to the ancient lifestyle of our ancestors【答案】 （1）B（2）D（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，自從1888年在埃及發(fā)現(xiàn)了貓動(dòng)物的木乃伊之后，大量的皇家墓穴被挖掘，成千上萬的木乃伊被運(yùn)往世界各地，以攫取物質(zhì)利益。后來考古學(xué)家不再只是尋寶，而是把它作為一門科學(xué)研究。因?yàn)槟灸艘琳故玖斯虐＜叭说娜粘Ｉ睢Ｕ绻盼飳W(xué)家薩利瑪伊克拉姆所說，木乃伊的研究是現(xiàn)代社會(huì)和過去的聯(lián)系的橋梁。 （1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第一段中 Village children peddled the best ones to tourists for change。 the rest were sold as fertilizer.可知，peddled后的to tourists for change即把最好的給游客來換取零錢，可知，此處的peddled是兜售給游客以換取零錢，可知peddle就是向他人炫耀從而售出，故選B。 （2）考查推理判斷。第二段敘述了最初考古是為了尋找皇家陵墓，尋找華麗的黃金和彩繪面具來裝飾歐洲和美洲的地產(chǎn)和博物館。成千上萬的來自古埃及的動(dòng)物木乃伊出現(xiàn)在埃及各地的宗教場所，但很少有人研究它們?？芍?，考古就是尋寶，為了物質(zhì)上的價(jià)值。以及第三段中的“ In the century since then, archaeology has bee less of atreasure huntand more of a science. ”從那以后的一個(gè)世紀(jì)里，考古學(xué)已不再是尋寶，而是一門科學(xué)，可知，他們尋找古埃及的遺跡僅僅是為了他們的物質(zhì)價(jià)值。分析選項(xiàng)可知D項(xiàng)符合題意，故選D。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“she created a gallery for the collection — a bridge between people today and those of long ago.”可知，Salima Ikram把她的發(fā)現(xiàn)進(jìn)行分類之后，她為這些收藏品創(chuàng)建了一個(gè)畫廊——一座連接今天的人和很久以前的人的橋梁。以及她的話You look at these mummified animals, and suddenly you say, Oh, King SoandSo had a pet. I have a pet. And instead of being at a distance of 5,000plus years, the ancient Egyptians bee clearer and closer to us. 你看著這些動(dòng)物木乃伊，突然你說，哦，國王某某養(yǎng)了一只寵物。我有一只寵物。古埃及人與我們之間的距離不再是5000多年前的事了，而是變得更加清晰，離我們更近了。由此可推斷出她認(rèn)為研究這些遺跡有助于把現(xiàn)代社會(huì)與過去聯(lián)系起來。故選B。 （4）考查推理判斷。本文主要敘述了古代埃及的木乃伊展示了古代埃及人的日常生活，是了解它們的途徑，有助于在現(xiàn)代社會(huì)與過去的之間建立一座橋梁。通過研究它們可以讓我們正確的評(píng)估過去。分析選項(xiàng)可知A符合題意，故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個(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。7．閱讀理解 PTSD(戰(zhàn)后創(chuàng)傷) is sadly a mon affliction(折磨) for many soldiers who have witnessed conflict, an invisible wound that continues to cause incredible suffering long after the guns have fallen silent. A lot of us e home without realizing we are bringing the war home with us, said Josh Marino, a veteran (退伍兵)of the Iraq war who suffered the effects of PTSD of suicide . I didn39。t want to deal with it anymore, Marino said. He wrote a goodbye note, grabbed a knife and went outside for a final cigarette in the rain. But then, from the deepest depth of despair came hope. Meowing out of the bushes next to him came a stray black and white kitten (小貓) which, according to Marino, just walked up and started rubbing up against my leg and let me pet him. I came to life again and I broke down crying. I burst into tears. From this accidental encounter everything changed. Marino found a new purpose in life through the friendly cat, who he named Scout, and who he credits with saving his life. I stopped thinking about all my problems, and started thinking about all his problems, and what I could do to help him, Marino said. The bond between them was instant，but that wasn39。t the end of the story. Marino has made a video of his and Scout39。s remarkable story of healing and heartbreak which you can watch on the Internet. The story is dedicated to showing how animals can help humans through tough times, as well as humans can help them. It is a beautiful story that is sure to tug at your heart strings, showing just how powerful the bond between humans and animals can be. We love it, and we hope you do too!（1）What can we get from the first two paragraphs?

A.PTSD a disease cured by a soldier.B.The man and the cat.C.A rescue between a soldier and a cat.D.How can a cat be used to stop suicide 【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記述文，退伍軍人Marino患上了PTSD(戰(zhàn)后創(chuàng)傷)，在他準(zhǔn)備自殺時(shí)一只小貓出現(xiàn)尋求他的撫摸，小貓的出現(xiàn)給了他生活的希望，改變了他的生活。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“Josh Marino, a veteran of the Iraq war who suffered the effects of PTSD of suicide”可知Marino參加了伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭，戰(zhàn)后患上了PTSD，并因?yàn)镻TSD的影響想自殺。這說明參加伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭對(duì)Marino產(chǎn)生了不好的影響，故選A。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“Meowing out of the bushes next to him came a stray black and white kitten (小貓) which， ….I broke down crying. I burst into tears.”可知在Marino準(zhǔn)備自殺的時(shí)候，一只小貓從灌木叢走出來蹭他的腿,讓他撫摸自己。這讓他又活了過來并哭了。由此可以推斷小貓的出現(xiàn)給了他生活的希望，他因此而哭泣。故選B。 （3）考查主旨大意。本文講述了小貓的出現(xiàn)給了想要自殺的退伍軍人Marino生活的希望，拯救了Marino, C項(xiàng)（士兵與小貓之間的救贖）最能體現(xiàn)本文大意，故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀理解 When Katie Stagliano was 9 years old, she was given a class project to grow her first cabbage from just one seed. She took it home and planted it in her home garden. It didn39。t even take her long to e up and begin to grow. But as friends came over, they pointed out that it was bigger than any of theirs. And it grew so much that the cabbage ended up weighing 40 pounds! Katie then decided that she could use this cabbage to do something nice for the munity. So she took the huge cabbage to a local soup kitchen, where they used it, and cooked it with ham and rice. And because of her cabbage, 275 people were fed. She began to realize that gardening and helping people is what she likes to do most. So, she decided to start her first garden on a plot of land donated by her school. I think if more kids get to experience gardening they would find out how cool it is and how many people can be fed if you donate your produce, said Katie. Now, just 9 years later, Katie is 18 years old, and has set up her own business called Katie39。s Krops with the help of her family friends. But this doesn39。t even e close to the other amazing part. She has raised over 200,000 dollars! And there are over 100 Katie39。s Krops within 33 states in the United States. She
