20% of what is happening.But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without,though they are little noticed.These are the senses of balance (平衡),without which we would act like a drunk

(平衡),without which we would act like a drunk after a heavy drink,and the kinesthetic sense(动觉),which gives us our ideas about our own motion (运动).16.Which is the best title for this passage?BA.The

auditory senses20.According to the passage,one misses most about the world when one A.A.is blindB.is deafC.has no sense of taste and touchD.has no sense of balance and

细节理解题.根据句子Researchers tell us that the sense of sight﹣our visual sense﹣gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies.研究人员告诉我们,我们的视觉感给了我们80%的对外界的了解.所以答案选C.18.B 细节理解题.while the other senses,the auditory (hearing),the olfactory (smell),the tactile (touch),and the gustatory (taste)bring into our brains information about the other 20% of what is happening.而其他感官,听觉,嗅觉,触觉,味觉,给大脑带来了关于其他20%事件的信息.所以答案选B.19.C 细节理解题.根据句子But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without,though they are little noticed.These are the senses of balance (平衡),and the kinesthetic sense(动觉),可见有两个其他的我们不能没有的感觉,那就是平衡杆和动觉,所以答案选C.20.A 推理判断题.根据句子the sense of sight﹣our visual sense﹣gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies.视觉,我们的视觉给了我们80%的关于我们身体以外世界的知识.可见如果一个人是瞎子他错过的世界上的东西最多,所以答案选A.【点评】阅读理解题测试考生在阅读基础上的逻辑推理能力,要求考生根据文章所述事件的逻辑关系,对未说明的趋势或结局作出合理的推断;或根据作者所阐述的观点理论,对文章未涉及的现象、事例给以解释.考生首先要仔细阅读短文,完整了解信息,准确把握作者观点.21.(10分)People have strange ideas about food.For example,tomato is a kind of very delicious vegetable.It is one of useful plants that can be prepared in many ways.It has rich nutrition(营养)and vitamin in it.But in the 18th century,Americans never ate tomatoes.They grew them in their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty.But they thought the vegetable was poisonous(有毒的).They called tomatoes"poison apples".President Thomas Jefferson,however,knew that tomatoes were good to eat.He was a learned man.He had been to Paris,where he learned to love the taste of tomatoes.He grew many kinds of tomatoes in his garden.The President taught his cook a way for a cream of tomato soup.This beautiful pink soup was served at the President party.The guests thought the soup tasted really good.They never thought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.Jefferson never spoke to his honored guests about the fact.21.Tomato is a kind of D.A.poisonous fruitB.poisonous vegetableC.tasty fruitD.tasty vegetable22.After you read the passage,which of the following do you think is True?B A.Americans never ate tomatoes after they began to plant them.B.Americans didn't eat tomatoes before 19th century.C.Even now Americans don't eat tomatoes.D.In the 18th century Americans ate a lot of tomatoes.23.Jefferson learned that tomatoes were good to eat A.A.while he was in ParisB.when he was a little boyC.because his parents told him soD.from books24.From the passage we know all the honored guests invited by Jefferson were C.A.people from other countriesB.from FranceC.people of his own

thought the soup which was prepared by the President's cook was nice.C.President Thomas Jefferson knew that tomatoes were good to eat and not poisonous at all.D.Not all of the guests knew that their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.【分析】本文叙述了在18世纪的美国当时都认为西红柿是可观赏的有毒食物,但是了解西红柿情况的总统用来招待了他的客人,结果客人都说西红柿是很好吃的.【解答】21.D 细节理解题.根据第一段的tomato is a kindof very delicious vegetable.可知西红柿是一种可口的蔬菜,故选D.22.B 推理判断题.根据文章第一段的But in the 18thcentury,Americans neverate tomatoes.They grow themin their gardens because tomato plants are so pretty可知,在18世纪的时候,美国人还不吃西红柿,他们在花园里种西红柿,因为西红柿很漂亮.所以美国人直到19世纪才开始吃西红柿.故选B.23.A 细节理解题.根据文章第二段第2行He had been toParis,where he learnedto love the taste of tomatoes.可知,他曾到过巴黎,在那里他开始喜欢上西红柿的味道.所以Jefferson 是在巴黎的时候知道西红柿好吃的,故选A.24.C 细节理解题.根据第二段的They neverthought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.可知,他们从来没有想过他们的总统会为他的贵宾上"毒苹果",所以Jefferson总统宴请的客人是他本国的.故选C.25.D 细节理解题.根据第二段的They neverthought their president would serve his honored guests poison apples.可知,他们从来没有想过他们的总统会为他的贵宾上"毒苹果",所以D选项"并不是所有的客人都知道他们的总统会为他的贵宾提供‘毒苹果'"是不正确的,故选D.【点评】本文是社会文化类阅读,主要考查细节理解题和推理判断题.在做细节理解题时,首先根据题目要求迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语.认真比较选项和文中细节的区别,在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.第二节:七选五(满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项.26.(10分)Everyone

CNY1,372.25 .BWhen her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975,they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business."Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.24.Helene tied several chopsticks together to show_____________.A. the strength of family unityB. the difficulty of growing upC. the advantage of chopsticksD. the best way of giving a lesson25.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family_____________.A. started a business in 1975B. left Vietnam without much moneyC. bought a restaurant in San FranciscoD. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles26.What can we infer about the An daughters?A. They did not finish their college education.B. They could not bear to work in the family business.C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them.D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members.27.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How to run a corporationB. Strength comes from peaceC. How to achieve a big dreamD. Family unity builds successCMonday,June 8, 2009 is World Ocean Day,which the United Nations set to protect oceans.About 80 percent of life on Earth depends on oceans and coasts,and more than a third of humans live in coastal areas or on small islands.Oceans provide mankind with more than $21 trillion every year in goods and services,including food,energy,transportation and fun.But oceans are increasingly under threat from pollution,overfishing,destruction of habitats,and the effects of increased CO2.Here are some tips to preserve the oceans for future generations.Reduce your plastic use.Plastic waste forms large floating islands in the middle of oceans,giving off toxins(毒素)and killing sea life,including turtles,birds,and fish.Instead of plastic ones,use reusable shopping bags.___________Overfishing affects the majority of the world’s fisheries.So choose sustainable (可持续的)seafood at a store or a restaurant.Choose environmentally friendly household cleaners! Besides being better for your own health,these products are safer for the environment since what goes down the drain can end up in our oceans.Do background research before going on a beach-holiday.Before you stay in a hotel on the coast,ask staff what happens to their waste water and swimming pool water,and if they get their restaurant fish from sustainable sources.Keep your beach visit clean.When visiting the beach,take your trash with you and leave plants,birds and wildlife alone so everyone can enjoy them.Celebrate oceans.Take part in activities that restore and celebrate oceans.Support organizations that work to protect oceans.Also you can ask people around you to join you in protecting oceans.28.We can infer from the first paragraph that_______________.A.oceans are important to humansB.all living things on Earth depend on oceans and coastsC.half of humans live in coastal areas or on small islandsD.World Ocean Day was set up by the United States29.The underlined word“preserve”in the 2nd paragraph is the closest in meaningto“______”.A.recoverB.faceC.enlargeD.protect30.What’s the best title for the 4th paragraph?A.Avoid fishing.B.Make careful seafood choices.C.Make seafood by yourself.D.Stop eating seafood.31.Which of the following tips to protect oceans is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Getting rid of waste water carefully.B.Reducing the use of plastics.C.Taking your beach trash with you.D.Taking part in activities about protecting oceans.DA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us upor tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves— the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too ashamed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us encourage ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably answer in a similar manner. Harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words have power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed?
