【正文】 y 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往世界各地，以攫取物質(zhì)利益。后來考古學家不再只是尋寶，而是把它作為一門科學研究。因為木乃伊展示了古埃及人的日常生活。正如古物學家薩利瑪伊克拉姆所說，木乃伊的研究是現(xiàn)代社會和過去的聯(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脊啪褪菍?，為了物質(zhì)上的價值。以及第三段中的“ In the century since then, archaeology has bee less of atreasure huntand more of a science. ”從那以后的一個世紀里，考古學已不再是尋寶，而是一門科學，可知，他們尋找古埃及的遺跡僅僅是為了他們的物質(zhì)價值。分析選項可知D項符合題意，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)進行分類之后，她為這些收藏品創(chuàng)建了一個畫廊——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。由此可推斷出她認為研究這些遺跡有助于把現(xiàn)代社會與過去聯(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估過去。分析選項可知A符合題意，故選A。 【點評】本題考點涉及詞義猜測和推理判斷兩個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。7．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 matter in hand, except that it gave them a halfholiday, ran before her progress, turning their heads continually to stare into her face, and at the winking baby in her arms, and at the shameful letter on her breast. It was no great distance, in those days, from the prisondoor to the marketplace. Measured by the prisoner39。s experience, however, it might be considered to be a rather long journey。 for, though her manner was proud, she perhaps underwent an extreme pain from every footstep of those who thronged to see her, as if her heart had been thrown into the street for them all to step upon. In our nature, however, there is a condition that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present suffering, but chiefly by the pain that rankles （使痛心）after it. With almost a calm manner, therefore, Hester Prynne passed through this portion of her suffering, and came to a sort of scaffold （刑臺），at the western end of the marketplace. It stood nearly beneath the eaves of Boston39。s earliest church, and appeared to be a fixture there.（1）What can we know about the schoolboys? A.They knew a little of the matter.B.They were full of curiosity and eagerness.C.They were happy for having a oneday holiday.D.They like Hester Prynne and her baby very much.（2）What does the underlined word thronged in paragraph 3 mean? A.Gathered.B.Happened.C.Pretended.D.Regretted.（3）What can we know from paragraph 3? A.The prison was really far from the marketplace.B.The scaffold is at the eastern end of the marketplace.C.Hester Prynne was thrown into the street for people to step on.D.The sufferer mainly knows the intensity of the pain after the suffering.（4）What would probably happen to Hester Prynne according to the text? A.She would be set free.B.She would give a public speech.C.She would put on a performance.D.She would receive serious punishment.【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）D（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，摘自名著《紅字》，描述了Hester Prynne被當做異教徒押赴刑場時的情節(jié)片段。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“A crowd of eager and curious schoolboys, …ran before her progress, turning their heads continually to ….”可知，人們充滿了好奇并且急不可待。故選B。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)最后一段中的“though her manner was proud, she perhaps underwent an extreme pain from every footstep of those who thronged to see her, as if her heart had been thrown into the street for them all to step 的內(nèi)心感受，每邁出一步都感受到一陣巨痛，似乎她的心給拋在街上，任憑他”人吐唾沫和踩踏。因此可知此時，人群在大街上聚集，故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“In our nature, however, there is a condition that the sufferer should never know the intensity of what he endures by its present suffering, but chiefly by the pain that rankles (使痛心)after it.”可知，人們對痛苦的感知往往后知后覺，故選D。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“ therefore, Hester Prynne passed through this portion of her suffering, and came to a sort of scaffold （刑臺），at the western end of the marketplace ”因此，海絲特白蘭度過了這一段痛苦，來到市場西端的一個刑臺前，可推知選D。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，同時根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，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 nic
