48、D 由短文第二段倒數(shù)第二句可知羅斯福拒絕殺死一只熊,與選項D語義相符。B 【主旨大意】本文結(jié)合兒童的情緒和感覺,描述兒童厭倦上學的原因和理由,并由此給出了合理的建議,幫助孩子們?nèi)绾吾尫徘榫w,愛上學校生活。31.D 由短文開頭第一句可知孩子們有厭學情緒。32.B 第一段最后一句中,承接and前的school,可知代替的是學校。33.A 由第二段首句可知第一步是找出原因。34.B 由第二段可知孩子們厭學的原因包括:沒有很多朋友;和老師相處不好;學習成績落后。由此可知是三條。35.C 推理判斷題。由第三段可知,提到了兩種方法,C項“寫下你對學校的感覺”是兩種方法之一。C 【主旨大意】本文主要介紹了貝

49、蒂。貝蒂是電視節(jié)目丑女貝蒂的主角之一,她有許多令人興奮的經(jīng)歷和浪漫的故事。36.B 由第二段第一句可知她受歡迎是因為她的魅力。37.D 承接前文可知it是代替前面提到的“the show”。38.C 由最后一段可知扮演貝蒂這一角色的演員出色的表演是這個電視節(jié)目成功的原因。39.B 閱讀全文可知A、C、D描述正確。故選B。40.A 閱讀全文可知評價一個人不能光看其外表,而應(yīng)看其內(nèi)在的魅力和智慧。D 【主旨大意】本文主要講述了“我”的一個同學湯姆小時候的經(jīng)歷。湯姆小時候在交際上有障礙,不講衛(wèi)生。后來維斯特老師用一個月的時間堅持為湯姆洗手,最后湯姆終于明白了老師的良苦用心。維斯特老師給“我”樹立了很
