But as early as the 1800s, people began using it as an adjective, the way we39。d describe a fun time or ‘a(chǎn) fun place“today.”直到19世紀(jì)早期，它還只是一個(gè)名詞，到了18世紀(jì)才有了娛樂(lè)的含義。但早在19世紀(jì)，人們就開(kāi)始把它用作形容詞，我們今天用它來(lái)形容有趣的時(shí)間或有趣的地方?？芍^(guò)去的人們不習(xí)慣使用funner或funnest，部分原因是這個(gè)詞最初用作名詞。故選C。 （3）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“But what about the word fun? This simple adjective only has one syllable, so you39。d think you39。d add suffixes on it to create superlatives.”但是樂(lè)趣這個(gè)詞呢?這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的形容詞只有一個(gè)音節(jié)，所以你會(huì)認(rèn)為你應(yīng)該在它上面加上后綴來(lái)創(chuàng)造最高級(jí)。以及倒數(shù)第二段中的“So they also agree that the answer to is funner a word? is yes.”所以他們對(duì)funner是一個(gè)詞嗎?的說(shuō)法是肯定的。本文主要內(nèi)容都是圍繞著fun的比較級(jí)和最高級(jí)變化規(guī)則展開(kāi)論述，故A選項(xiàng)funner是一個(gè)詞嗎？符合文章主旨。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化知識(shí)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)行概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。7．閱讀理解 An earthquake is one of the most mon natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members. Fragile items like those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them in the cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you. There is a strong chance of short circuits (短路) and fire during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens. During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times. If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object. If trapped in debris (瓦礫堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or the wall so that rescuers (營(yíng)救人員) can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if one is available. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.（1）The purpose of the passage is to tell readers . to do in earthquakes to prevent earthquakes damage caused by earthquakes rescue work after earthquakes（2）The underlined word Fragile in Paragraph 2 probably means . found broken（3）During the earthquake, people are advised to . shelter under a tree to a safe place quickly out of the building at once off electricity and gas immediately【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，作者對(duì)于如何在地震中保護(hù)自己和家人這一問(wèn)題，給出了一些簡(jiǎn)單的安全技巧。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.”因此，學(xué)習(xí)一些簡(jiǎn)單的安全技巧來(lái)保護(hù)自己和家人是明智的?？芍@篇文章的目的是告訴讀者在地震中該怎么做。故選A。 （2）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第二段中的“l(fā)ike those made of glass are easily broken and should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them in the cupboards higher up.”像那些玻璃做的容易破碎，通常應(yīng)放在較低的表面，接近地面，而不是把它們放在較高的碗柜?？芍?，“Fragile”的意思是易碎的。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.”當(dāng)?shù)卣鸢l(fā)生時(shí)，一定要立即切斷電源和煤氣?？芍?，地震期間，建議人們立即關(guān)掉電和煤氣。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)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，同時(shí)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。8．閱讀理解 Parents should stop blaming themselves because there39。s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal. I39。ve seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懶散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. I don39。t know what to do with him these days, she said. He39。s forgotten all the manners we taught him.” He hasn39。t forgotten them. He39。s just decided that he39。s
