在這里度過的美好時光。

l.WhentheauthorfirstwenttoHuapleeBeach，

A.hefounditunworthwhile

B.hefailedtosorthimselfout

C.hebecamesensitivetosmell

D.hehaddifficultyinfindingit

解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段Itwasalongjourney...ittook

almostaslongastheflightfromFalongland,第三段第二句Notmany

touristsfindthisplace.可知這個地方不好找，作者找到這個地方耗時

很長，因此答案為D。

答案D

2.WhatisspecialaboutthefoodserviceatHuapleeBeach?

A.Nomenu.B.Freefood.

C.Selfservice.D.Quickdelivery.

解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第五段文章涉及飲食，根據(jù)該段最后一句

blessings,listingtheminthesandwithyourtoe.Youdon'thavetoworry

aboutbeinglateforwork.Youdon'thavetodoanything,和第八段：No

start,noend,justsand,sun,andpeace.Stepoffit,andyoure/x7fenter

theworldoftraffic,stress,work,andhurry.都描述了在HuapleeLazy

Beach享受的美好時光。但第八段的最后一句Stepoffit,andyou

re/x7fentertheworldoftraffic,stress,workandhurry,一旦走出這里，

人們又要回到日常生活中，面臨工作、交通、壓力和快節(jié)奏的生活,

而要享受HuapleeBeach則需要暫時拋開這些，即答案為B。

答案B

4.Whatdoestheauthorimplybyhisquestionattheendofthe

A.Heshouldn'thavecountedhisblessings.

B.Heshouldhaveunderstoodthewonderofnature.

C.Heshouldn'thavespentsomuchtimeonthetrip.

可知作者是在感嘆自己應(yīng)該早點來到這里的。因此答案為Do

解析推理判斷題。第二段提到這段30英里的路急轉(zhuǎn)彎多，足

以讓多數(shù)司機手心出汗(areenoughtomakemostdrivers'handssweat),

據(jù)此可推知，多數(shù)司機開車走在這段路上的時候應(yīng)該都非常緊張，故

選擇Ao

A.heisusedtodrivingonsuchadangerousroad

解析推理判斷題。由Andersen說的話可知，他一年要在該地

條路時十分有信心，故選擇B。

答案B

答案B

4.Andersen'sattitudetowardthesemen'srescuingthechildren

A.doubtB.satisfaction

C.sympathyD.appreciation

解析推理判斷題。從最后一段Andersen的回答"Itwaslikethe

sightofangels."可推知，Andersen對這些人的見義勇為是非常感激的,

故選擇Do

答案B

【長難句解讀】

原文Asithitthewater,thecartippedtowardthepassengerside,

hesitated，andthenrolledontoitsroofandsankintotheriver.

譯文當(dāng)接觸到水面時、車子向副駕駛那一邊傾斜，稍停了一下,

然后底朝天跌入河中。

分析這是一個復(fù)合句，As引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句，thecartipped...

為主句，其中的四個動詞為并列謂語，表示按時間依次發(fā)生的動作。

【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇記敘文。評論員MelodyCramer曾是

社交網(wǎng)站Facebook的忠實追隨者，近日卻毅然選擇了退出。究竟是

什么原因讓她做出如此的決定呢？

l.WelearnfromthepassagethatcommentatorMelodyCramer

A.hada20/x7fyearmembershipofFacebook

B.usedtobeveryattachedtoFacebook

C.wasdisappointedtomeetherhighschoolclassmates

D.wasoneofthefoundersofFacebook

解析細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容可知，Melody曾經(jīng)對

Facebook很著迷，故B項正確。

答案B

2.MelodyCramerdecidedtoquitFacebookmainlybecause.

A.shemadesomanystrangefriendsonline

B.shethoughtFacebookwastedhertoomuchtime

C.shethoughtFacebookmadeherreal/x7fworldlifelessinteresting

D.shewastiredofchattingonlinewithco/x7fworkers.

解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三、四段內(nèi)容可知，MelodyCramer

經(jīng)常在網(wǎng)上就已經(jīng)知道了她朋友的一切，當(dāng)他們真正碰面時卻又無話

可說，所以她覺得Facebook使她的真實世界的生活很無趣，故C項

正確。

答案C

3.WhichofthefollowingaboutMelodyCramerisTRUE?

A.ShehaslearntalotfromFacebookoncommunicationskills.

B.Shewishesthatshecouldbeseveralyearsyounger.

C.Shenolongerwantstoknowanythingaboutherfriends.

D.Shewouldprefertofaceherfriendsandco/x7fworkersinthereal

world.

解析推理判斷題。通讀全文，特別是最后一段中的Tmhoping

life...theirfavoritebooksorhobbiesorneurosis（神經(jīng)癥）.”可推知，她更

喜歡在現(xiàn)實生活中去面對朋友和同事，故D項正確。

答案D

4.FromherownexperienceMelodyCramerisseeminglytryingto

B.itisunwisetomakeonlinefriendswithpeopleonedoesn'tknow

C.makingonlinefriendswithco/x7fworkersaffectsone'spersonal

D.itisnecessarytokeepone'sfriendsatadistancetoremain

mysterious

解析推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段可知，MelodyCramer以自

己的親身經(jīng)歷告訴我們：同事畢竟不是那種相互告知彼此下了班都做

些什么的朋友，他們會影響你的正常生活，故C項正確。

答案C
