國(guó)肖維巖洞壁畫(huà)就是一個(gè)例證。故選D。WhyisthecavepaintingfoundinIndonesiadescribedascomplex?Itreflectsatechnicalanalysis.Itshowsearlyimaginarythings.Itdescribesearlycivilizations.Itcoversstrangewildlifeimages.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容可知，印度尼西亞洞穴壁畫(huà)中半人半獸的獵人可能是早期人類信仰的體現(xiàn)，是當(dāng)時(shí)人們相信超自然生物存在的跡象。據(jù)此可推斷這樣的壁畫(huà)背后有一個(gè)復(fù)雜的想象過(guò)程，人們畫(huà)出了想象的事物。故選B。WhatcanweknowfromParagraph5?EarlyartisdeeplyrootedinIndonesia.Cavepaintingsareafeastforoureyes.Latestdiscoveriesarebasedontheory.Climatechangemayharmcavepaintings.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中的thepaintingsarerapidlydeteriorating（惡化）beforeoureyesandthescientistsdon*tknowwhy.Brummsaysonetheoryisthathighertemperaturesinthecavesduetoclimatechangearcharmingtheart.可知，這些壁畫(huà)的處境正在惡化，Brumm認(rèn)為正是氣候變化導(dǎo)致的洞穴內(nèi)的高溫在破壞著它們。故選DoWhatdoestheunderlinedword“imperative”inthelastparagraphmean?A.Urgent.B.Exciting.C.Meaningful.D.Imperfect.解析：選A詞義猜測(cè)題。上文提到了洞穴壁畫(huà)惡化的情況，結(jié)合畫(huà)線詞后的內(nèi)容可知，Brumm提到“留給我們的時(shí)間不充裕，誰(shuí)知道在某個(gè)地方會(huì)有什么樣的可能正遭受損害或很快消失的驚人洞穴壁畫(huà)存在呢？咒由此可知，畫(huà)線詞表示“緊迫的，迫切的”，與urgent含義相近，故選A。II.完形填空AndreaSilverahasalwaystakenhandwritinganddetailedlecturenotesforgranted.Shehadnever1shecouldmakemoneywiththeskilluntilshewasintroducedtoa(n)2__.OneClassprovidescoursenotes3byexcellentstudents.“Iaccidentallysawtherewasa4formetobecomeanotetaker.AfterIuploadedmynotes,Iwas5,“Silverasays.Whatissurprisingisthe6ofviewshernotesreceive.Inaclassof300,100studentsusuallyviewhernotes.Atfirst,thesitewas7meanttohelpstrugglingstudcnts.Butunexpectedly,itgainedfameandacquiredwealth.Boththenoteusersandnotetakerssawgreatprogressintheirstudies.However,notetakersdon'tjusttakethejobforthe8benefit.Silverahasmade$l,500inayearofnotetaking.4tMynotesarenotjusthandwritten>“shesaid.^I_9manyextraexplanations.^Silverafindsthatworkingasanotetakerhasbeen10.However,shesaidsheneededto11otherstudentswhomightbe12intakingthejob：”Ifyouwanttodothis,youhavetoputinthetimeandactually13theclasses.Andyoucan'ttrustthatsomeoneelse'snotesare14becausenobodycanmeetyoureveryneed—youneedtotakethem15.”語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了一名名為AndreaSilvera的學(xué)生通過(guò)記篤記掙得了1,500美元的故事。A.believedB.doubtedC.heardD.thought解析：選D根據(jù)上文的AndreaSilverahasalwaystakenhandwritinganddetailedlecturenotesforgranted.可知，Silvera將記篤，記看作理所當(dāng)然的事情，所以她從未想過(guò)自己能夠通過(guò)這一技能賺錢(qián)。A.organizationB.companyC.newspaperD.website解析：選D根據(jù)第三段中的Atfirst,thesitewas7meanttohelpstrugglingstudents.可知，OneClass是一個(gè)網(wǎng)站。A.writtenB.typedC.readD.sent解析：選A根據(jù)上文的handwriting可知，OneClass提供由好學(xué)生們親筆記錄的課程筆記。A.planB.chanceC.dreamD.way解析：選B根據(jù)下文的AfterIuploadedmynotes,Iwas5可知.Silvera偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)成為筆,記記錄員的機(jī)會(huì)。A.employedB.inspiredC.touchedD.refused解析：選A根據(jù)下文的Silverahasmade$l,500inayearofnotetaking.可知，Silvera上傳了自己的筆記后被錄用了。A.numberB.qualityC.speedD.variety解析：選A下文指出，一個(gè)300人的班里，通常有100人看SUvera的筆記，因此這里說(shuō)最令人驚訝的是看筆記的人數(shù)之多。A.rarelyB.simplyC.firmlyD.mainly解析：選B根據(jù)下文的Butunexpectedly,itgainedfameandacquiredwealth.可知，起初，這一網(wǎng)站只是為了幫助有困難的學(xué)生。A.socialB.educationalC.environmentalD.financial解析：選B根據(jù)上文的Boththenoteusersandnotetakerssawgreatprogressintheirstudies.可知，筆記記錄者從事這份工作并不僅僅是為了上文提到的對(duì)教育方面帶來(lái)的好處。A.deleteB.findD.createC.includeD.create解析：選C根據(jù)上文的Mynotesarenotjusthandwritten可知，Silvera的筆記不僅是手寫(xiě)的，而且還包括了很多額外的解釋。A.meaninglessB.demandingC.challengingD.worthwhile解析：選D通過(guò)上文的描述可知，Silvera通過(guò)成為篤記記錄員收獲良多，因而覺(jué)得筆記記錄員這一工作是值得做的。A.correctB.warnC.remindD.question解析：選C根據(jù)下文Silvera說(shuō)的話可知，盡管Silvera覺(jué)得成為筆記記錄員是值得的，但她覺(jué)得有必要提醒那些想成為筆記記錄員的人。A.buriedB.experiencedC.involvedD.interested解析：選D根據(jù)空后的Ifyouwanttodothis可知，Silvera的話是對(duì)那些對(duì)筆記記錄員工作感興趣的人說(shuō)的。A.attendB.teachC.observeD.enjoy解析：選A根據(jù)空前的youhavetoputinthetime可知，想要成為筆記記錄員就必須投入時(shí)間并真正地去上課。A.briefB.completeC.uselessD.aimless解析：選B根據(jù)空后的becausenobodycanmeetyoureveryneed可知，Silvera提醒同學(xué)們不要相信別人的筆記就一定是完整的。A.inadvanceB.insorrowC.inpersonD.inpublic解析:選C才艮據(jù)空前的Andyoucan'ttrustthatsomeoneelse*snotesare14可知，做筆記不能依賴別人，必須自己親自做。III.語(yǔ)法填空EileenTaylorhadsomethingsweetonhermindinthedrive-throughlineatHeav*nlyDonuts.Justthedaybefore,astrangeraheadofherinlinehad](generous)paidforhercoffee."Thegesturemadesuch2bigdifferenceinmyday,"saysEileen.Shehadrecentlylostherjobasaphysician's3(assist),andmoneywastight.ButEileen_4(inspire)topaythe$12billofthefamilyinthecarbehindhers.5_shedidn'tknowwasthatherkindnesswouldsetoffachainreaction.Intwoandahalfhours,fifty-fivedriverspaidfortheorderofthepersonbehind6(they).Thedoughnutshop,semployees
