B.Telepathy：Mind-toMindContactC.Telepathy：People’sDream D。DreamofTelepathy答案解析：答案為B.本題考查文章的標題.全文都是圍繞心靈感應而展開，故答案為B.3。Whichofthefollowingistrueaccordingtothepassage？A。Themorepeopleseparate,themorelikelythattelepathywilloccur。B.Itisbyusingthefivesensesthattelepathyoccurs.C。Telepahyhappenswhenpeoplelivefarawayandhavenochancetoseeoneanother.D.Oneisbetteratsendingthanreceivingtelepathyifonereceivesafriend'scallasonewishes。答案解析：答案為D。本題為細節(jié)題。由第二段“Ifyouthinkofaperson,andtheycallyou,youaremostlikelybetteratsending?！笨芍?如果你正在想著某人，然后他就給你打電話了，那么你可能更擅長于發(fā)送感應，D選項意思與文章符合.故答案為D。由最后一段“Themorepeoplespendtimetogether，themorelikelytheyaretobeabletolinkuptotheothersmind，especiallywhenseparated。"可知，人們在一起相處的時間越長,他們的心靈相互間就越有可能產(chǎn)生共鳴,尤其是當分開的時候，故A、C選項錯誤，結(jié)合第一題分析知B選項同樣錯誤.4.Whichofthefollowingbelongstotelepathy?A.Byaccident,youareawareofafriendofyoursiscomingtoseeyou。B.People'scommunicationoverthetelephone。C。Amother'ssenseofherchildisindanger。D。Acouple’slongseparation.答案解析:答案為C。本題為推理題。由最后一段“Amotherwilloftensensethatherchildisindanger。.”可知，C選項正確。結(jié)合前面幾題的分析可知，A、D不正確，B選項與文章毫不相干。［］閱讀理解NapoleonBonapartediedonMay5,1821,ontheislandofSt。HelenaoffthecoastofAfrica.Hewas51yearsoldatthetime.WhendoctorsexaminedNapoleon'sbody,theysaidthattheformeremperorofFrancehaddiedfromcancerofthestomach.Thatwasthecauseofdeathrecordedintheofficialreport.However,otherdoctorsdisagreed.OnedoctorwhowaspresentduringtheexaminationofthebodysaidthatNapoleondiedofhepatitis（肝炎）.OtherhistoriansandmedicalexpertshavesuggestedthatNapoleondiedofsyphilis（梅毒),tuberculosis(肺結(jié)核）,orperhapsmalaria。Now，aftercarefulresearch,aBritishchemistthinksthatNapoleonmighthavebeenpoisoned—-notbyaperson,butbyhiswallpaper。NapoleonwassenttotheislandofSt.Helenain1815afterhelostthebattleofWaterloo.Hewasaprisonerontheisland。Althoughhehadservantstoattendtohim,hehadtoliveinonesmallbuilding.St。Helenaisaverywetisland,sothewallsofthebuildingwerealwayscoveredwithmold.Napoleonbecameillfromspendingtoomuchtimeinsidehishouse。Almostconstantlyhehadafever,chills,andfeltsicktohisstomach。Heoftenfeltpaininhisshouldersandinhisside.Hisskinturnedyellow。Hegotfrequentheadaches,andhewouldbecomedizzyandvomit。NoneofthemedicinethatthedoctorsgaveNapoleonseemedtohelp。Theywerenotsurewhatwasthematter。Finally，Napoleonwastooweaktoleavethehouse.Onenight，whilehewassleeping，hewentintoacoma（昏迷）anddied。ManydoctorswholaterreviewedthereportsofNapoleon’sillnessfoundthatthesymptomsdidnotshowamanwhosufferedfromstomachcancer。ItseemedobviousthatNapoleonhaddiedfromsomeothercause.In1961，aSwedishdoctorexaminedsomeofNapoleon’shairandfoundahighlevelofarsenic（砒霜），achemicalpoison.WasNapoleonmurdered？Itisdoubtful.ArsenicwasusedinmanytypesofmedicineduringNapoleon’stime,sohemighthavetakenthearsenicasacureforhisillness。Then,in1982,Dr.DavidJonesfromEnglandbegantolookintothemysteryandsuggestedthatNapoleonmighthavebreathedinarsenicwhichwasintheairofhishouse。Inthe1700sand1800s,arsenicwasusedtomakeakindofgreenpaintusedonclothandwallpaper。Ifthepaintwasusedonawetwall，thearsenicwouldgointotheair.Apersonintheroommightbreathethatair。AfterstudyingthewallpaperintheroomwhereNapoleondied,Dr.Jonesfoundhighlevelsofarsenicinthegreenpaintonthewalls.6.Thepassagesaysthat。A。aBritishdoctorthinkshehasfoundthecauseofNapoleon'sdeathB。manydoctorshavetriedtoguessthecauseofNapoleon'sdeathC.NapoleoncouldhavediedfrompoisonD.alloftheabove7.WhydidNapoleonliveonSt。Helena？A。Heownedtheisland。B.Hewasaprisonerthere。C。Hisfamilylivedthere.D.Helikedtheisland.8.Napoleonsufferedfromthefollowingsymptomsexcept__________。A。chillsB.feverC。dizzinessD.bleeding9。TheofficialreportsaidthatNapoleondiedof____________.A.cancerB.acomaC.moldD。poison10。AccordingtoDr.Jones，howdidthearsenicprobablygetintoNapoleon’sbody？A.Heateit。B.Hebreatheditin。C.Hetouchedit。D.Hedrankit?！緟⒖即鸢浮?-10、DBDAB閱讀理解-----——BBuyingahouseformostofthepeopleisaonceinalifetimedecision,whichmeanspeopledecidetodosoonlyaftercomingacrosstheidealhouse.Surprisingly,eightinevery10homebuyersareunhappywiththeirhouses.AsurveyconductedbytheBeijingConsumers’Association(BCA)recentlyshowsabout80percentofthe2，315respondentsin23residentialcomplexesofBeijingaredissatisfiedwiththesoaringhouseprices.TheythinkthereasonablepriceinBeijingshouldbebetween3，000yuanand7,000yuanpersquaremeter。Thequalityofthebuildings，thesurroundingenvironmentandtrafficandpropertymanagementaretheotherfactorsthatplayaroleinpeople’sdecisiontobuyahouse。TheBCAhassuggestedstrictsalesregulationsandcontractstoeasehouse-owners’sufferings。IthasurgedtheauthoritiestoimposeseverepunishmentondevelopersfoundviolatingbuildingandotherrulesandjoininghandswithotherstobiduppropertypricesAbout41。2percentoftherespondentshavecomplainedthattheirhouseshavedefectivedesigns，whilenearly40percentsaythelightingandventilationarefarfromsatisfactory.Thelandscapesintheresidentialareasareasourceofunhappinessfor43.2percentoftherespondents,andaboutone-thirdsaytheywere”bluffed"intobuying"thirdgrade"houses.Andmorethanhalfarenotsatisfiedwiththesportandentertainmentfacilitiesintheirneighborhood。Propertymanagementinthebuildings,56。5percentoftherespondentssay,i
