阅读理解(一)A【解题导语】调查表明,大部分美国富人不愿向孩子炫富,甚至不打算将丰厚的资产传给后代。1.B 推理判断题。第二段的后半部分提到在被调查的美国富人中,几乎没有人计划为他们的孩子保留资产或者将资产传给孩子,由此可推断在美国,父母富有并不意味着孩子富有。2.C 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可推知,大部分美国富人怀疑他们的孩子处理财富的能力。3.D 词义猜测题。人们期望富裕的父母把他们的财富传给下一代,此处they指代的是画线词前面的“thewealthyparents”,即“richparents”。4.D 推理判断题。根据本段中比尔·盖茨所说的话可推知,他更强调孩子的个人奋斗,认为培养孩子的自立很重要。B【解题导语】为了阻止孩子逃学,英国政府采取了一些强硬措施,让父母为孩子的逃学承担责任。但英国孩子的逃学率依然居高不下,因此还需要采取更有效的措施。5.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一句中的“...parentingcontracts—statementssignedbyparentsagreeingtobringtheirchildtoschool...”可知,签订家长合同是为了确保孩子们上学。6.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Parentscanbefined,asked...theycanbesenttoprison.”可知,父母面临的最严厉的惩罚是被监禁。7.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“Theyrightlymakeparentstakeresponsibilityfortheirchildren.”可知,德利斯·摩根对此项措施持支持态度,back在此处意为”支持”,与“support”同义。8.A 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句以及文章最后一段的内容可知,尽管政府采取了一些措施,但全国的逃学率依然很高,因此选A项。C【解题导语】对患有脑癌的艾莉森来说,狗的陪伴给了她极大的安慰。通过努力,艾莉森创立了一个组织,帮助一些家庭收养宠物,以使其他患病的孩子得到同样的安慰。9.D 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“...theyhadnoideahowmuchthelittlecreaturewouldchangeherlife.”可知,一开始,艾莉森的家人并没有期待狗会使艾莉森改变多少,故选D项。10.A 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句中的“Herorganization,theStinkBugProject,namedafterapictureshedrew...”可知,应选A项。11.D 推理判断题。根据第四段内容可推知艾莉森的母亲为女儿的爱心而感到自豪。12.C 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了艾莉森的故事,在文章结尾号召人们捐赠或购买艾莉森的自制狗饼干,即把狗和爱心献给患有癌症的孩子们,因此C项最能概括文章大意。D【解题导语】你相信转世说吗?本文就对此进行了一下探讨。13.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中理查德·萨尔瓦所说的话“TheholidayofThanksgivinghasaHinduorigin...”可以得出答案。14.A 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Thiswasinteresting,becauseThursdayisconsideredaholyday—adayforprayer,fasting,andspiritualreflection—amongHindus,whocallit‘guruday’.”可推出答案。15.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“...andthespiritualprinciplesbehindtheyogaposturesthatmillionsnowpractice.”可推知,瑜伽充满了宗教色彩。16.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Throughclearandpersuasive...theeventsofhisorherdailylife.”可推出作者的态度是积极的。E-7-\n【解题导语】迈克尔·杰克逊的突然辞世给世界各地的歌迷们留下无尽的悲伤,而他未来得及举办的演唱会已售出的门票也成了歌迷们要面对的一个“难题”。17.B 细节理解题。根据画线部分所在句子以及最后一段最后一句可知答案。18.C 推理判断题。通读全文可知,迈克尔·杰克逊演唱会门票的持有人面临的问题是:如何处理门票,即退票或将票留作纪念。19.A 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可以推断,minoritygametheory是关于人们的推理的理论。20.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Somyadvicewouldbetoreadthenewspapersanddecidewhattodoonthebasisoftheexperts'advice.”可知C项正确。-7-
