【正文】 羅洛山口仍然和200年前一樣。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo劉易斯和克拉克在200年前差點被羅洛山口的暴風(fēng)雪打敗以及第三段中的the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and conserve the path as a sacred (神圣的) gift勇敢面對困難的探險者和珍視并保護(hù)這條道路為神圣禮物的美洲土著人?？芍?，劉易斯和克拉克在200年前，也就是19世紀(jì)的早期就探險過羅洛山口，留下了他們探險的足跡，他們是偉大的探險家。所以判斷出，劉易斯和克拉克最有可能是19世紀(jì)早期的探險家。故選B。 （5）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的Our luck is holding with the weather, although the snow keeps getting deeper. As we climb to Indian Post Office, the highest point on the trail at 7, 033 ft, we have covered 13 miles in soft snow, and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner. After a meal of chicken, I sit on a rock on top of the ridge(山脊). There is no light visible in any direction, not even another campfire. For four days we do not see another human being. We are occupied with the things that mix fear with joy. In our imagination we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark.”盡管雪越來越深，我們的運氣還是和天氣有關(guān)。當(dāng)我們爬上Indian Post Office時，這條小路的最高點是7033英尺，我們已經(jīng)在柔軟的雪地里走了13英里，我們幾乎沒有足夠的力氣來做飯。吃完雞肉后，我坐在山脊上的一塊石頭上。任何方向都看不見光，甚至連一堆篝火也看不見。四天來我們都看不到其他人。我們專注于既恐懼又快樂的事情。在我們的想象中，我們終于趕上了劉易斯和克拉克。）可知，當(dāng)穿越羅洛山口時，作者是在跟隨劉易斯和克拉克的足跡在前行。故選C。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)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(zhǔn)確掌握細(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。7．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 The siesta petition took place in a supermarket, with plenty of shoppers, screaming babies, talking voices, and footsteps to take the petitors39。 attention away from their after lunch sleeps. Five bright blue sofas were laid out, and five petitors at a time were allowed to take a 20minute sleep. A doctor measured their pulse to time how long they actually spent on asleep. Competitors earned extra points for snoring (打鼾), sleeping in strange positions, or wearing silly pajamas (睡衣). The winners of each round advance to the next stage in the petition. It39。s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to. Yet, many of them did. They hugged pillows or soft toy bears. They covered their eyes with sleep masks, too. Whatever it took to help them fall asleep fast and stay asleep. The siesta is a tradition in Spain that many feel is being forgotten. It used to be that people would take a brief nap after lunch every day. This would energize them, and keep them going for the rest of the day. Not to mention the health benefits of a good nap. But, that39。s all changing. People are too busy making money or watching gossip shows on TV after lunch to care about taking a nap. The National Association of Friends of the Siesta wants to bring Spain back to their traditional roots. They are doing this by having the siesta petition. They set up the petition to reward the best sleepers with money. Actually, they were paid to sleep. There are really health benefits to a midday nap. We could all learn from this tradition. It39。s a much better way to get more energy than drinking a cup of coffee. It is also believed that a nap, and in fact a good night39。s sleep, can help reduce heart disease. The more rested we are, the less stress we feel with daytoday life.（1）The underlined word siesta here probably means ________.

It used to be that people would take a brief nap after lunch every day. ”午睡是西班牙的一項傳統(tǒng)，許多人覺得這項傳統(tǒng)正在被遺忘。過去，人們每天午飯后都會小睡一會兒。由此可知第一段中的劃線詞的意思是“午飯后的短睡”。故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“It39。s amazing that any of those people would fall asleep in the middle of such a busy place, while on couches that they are not used to.”令人驚訝的是，盡管在他們不習(xí)慣的沙發(fā)上，這些人中的任何一個會在這么繁忙的地方睡著?？芍?，比賽是在嘈雜的地方進(jìn)行的。故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“They hugged pillows or soft toy bears.

He lived for just 54 years but he packed his brief life with activity. The French painter spent his early childhood in Peru before returning to France. As an adult, he continued to travel a lot. Most famously, he spent much of the last decade of his life in Tahiti, an island in southern Pacific Ocean. Indeed, Gauguin is best known for his colorful paintings of Tahitians and their culture. The restlessness of this great painter has been normal among modern artists since the middle of the 19th century. They39。re never satisfied for long with a certain style or way of life. Once something bees conventional, it39。s turned down. The artistic culture that Gauguin developed from was that of Impressionism (印象派). Painters like Claude Monet had wanted to paint how they saw the world, not how their teachers taught them it should be seen. Gauguin, and similar artists like his friend Vincent van Gogh, moved even further away from respectable art than the Impressionists. For them, it was not simply a matter of seeing the world differently, but feeling and thinking about it differently, too. Gauguin saw, felt and thought differently from most members of European society. He thought that Eur
