語篇解讀：是誰阻礙了你的發(fā)展？是誰擋住了你前進的腳步？是別人嗎？本文告訴我們，

真正阻礙你發(fā)展的恰恰是你自己。

1.Thewriter'spurposeinwritingthearticleistotellusthat.

A.theharderwework,themoresuccessfulwewillbecome

B.ourworkandlifearecloselyconnectedwithothers

C.changingourlivesisdowntoourselves

D.wewillhaveabetterfutureifpeopledonothinderourdevelopment

解析：寫作意圖題。從最后三段的排比句可知，命運掌握在自己手中，你只有改變自

己才能改變命運，所以這里答案選C項。

答案：c

2.Peoplewerespeechlesswhentheylookedinsidethecoffinbecause.

A.therewasnothingbutamirrorinside

B.theycouldseetheirownsoulsinside

C.theirclosestcolleaguelayinside

D.whatwasinsidetoldagreattruth

解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。從第四段和第五段內(nèi)容可知，人們看到了棺材中的鏡子，還有旁

邊的一個標(biāo)注：只有你自己限制了自己的成長。這真實地反映了人們的情況，所以答案選D

項。

答案：D

3.Whoprobablywrotethesignonthefrontdoor?

A.Thecompanyboss.

B.Aworkerwholikedtomakefunofothers.

C.Thedirectorinchargeofproduction.

D.Aworkerwhowantedtoteachothersalesson.

解析：邏輯推理題。從文章內(nèi)容可推出，這次活動很可能是公司老板有意為員工設(shè)計

的，主要目的在于告訴員工，真正阻礙自己成長和發(fā)展的不是別人，而是自己。所以前門

上的字很可能是老板寫的，而不是其他人。所以答案選A項。

答案：A

4.Whatcanweconcludefromthearticle?

A.Theemployeeswenttothegymtojointhefuneral.

B.Thelessontheemployeeslearnedwouldinfluencethemgreatly.

C.Theemployees*livesdependedontheattitudeoftheirboss.

D.Theemployeesgotangryafterthefuneral.

解析：邏輯推理題。文章告訴我們一個道理：真正阻礙你發(fā)展的恰恰是你自己。這一

課將會讓員工銘記在心，大大地影響他們。所以這里答案選B項。

答案：B

①OnedaytheemployeesofalargecompanyinStLouis,Missourireturnedfromtheir

一天，密蘇里州，圣路易斯市一家大公司的員工們午飯休息后回公司時，在前門上看

到這樣一個標(biāo)牌。

②YourlifechangeswhenYOUchange,whenyougobeyondyourlimitingbeliefs>when

狹隘的信念時，當(dāng)你意識到你就是那個應(yīng)為你的人生負(fù)責(zé)任的人時，你的人生就改變了。

語篇解讀：這是一篇寓意很深的記敘文：一個聰明又樂于助人的木西使產(chǎn)生沖突的兄弟倆

和好如初，化干戈為玉帛。

5.Whatwasthelifelikeforthetwobrothersbeforetheconflict?

A.Theylivedapoorlife.

B.Theylivedinpeace.

C.Theyneverspoketoeachother

I）.Theylivedonthesamefarm.

解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第一段“Itwasthefirstseriousonebetweenthemin40years

offarmingpeacefullysidebyside.”可以看出，發(fā)生沖突之前他們是和平相處的。

答案：B

6.Itcanbelearnedthatthecarpenterwas,

A.unwillingtoobeythefarmer

B.fondofbuildingbridges

C.unabletobuildafence

D.willingtohelpothers

解析：推理判斷題。從文章對木匠的描述和他干活的情況看，他是一個聰明、樂于助

人、技術(shù)熟練的木匠。

答案：D

7.Thebesttitleforthispassageis.

A.AFinePieceofWork

B.ACarpenter

C.AConflictbetweenTwoBrothers

D.TwoBrothers

解析：主旨概括題。文章主要講述一位木匠在兩個農(nóng)場之間架了一座橋，這座橋化解

了兄弟之間的沖突的故事。因此，無論從具體的橋還是從寓意上的橋來講它都是一件“杰

作”。故A項作為標(biāo)題最合適。

答案：A

8.WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaccordingtothepassage?

A.Theelderbrotherusedhisbulldozertodigacreek.

B.Theeiderbrotherhelpedthecarpenterbuildthebridge.

C.Thebrotherswerebothsatisfiedwiththecarpenter'swork.

D.Thecarpenterplannedtobuildan8-foot-highfenceasaskedto.

解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段中兄弟倆的表現(xiàn)尤其是“Afinepieceofwork!”可知

兄弟倆對工匠做的活很滿意，故選C。其他選項與原文內(nèi)容不符。

答案：C

@@⑥嶗?----------（日積月累，提升閱讀能力?。?/p>

①Itwashewhousedhisbulldozertodigthecreeklastweektospiteme.

就是他上周用推土機挖了道深深的水溝來刁難我。

本句為強調(diào)句，Itwashewho…強調(diào)主語為人，所以用who。

②Thebrothersstoodateachendofthebridge,andthentheymetinthemiddle,taking

eachother、hands.兄弟倆站在橋兩頭，然后他們走到橋中間，向彼此伸出了雙手。

破壞，亟待解決。

9.WhatarethegreatchallengestheNileBasinfaces?

A.Thedevelopmentofshippingindustry.

B.Overfishingofnativepeople.

C.Watershortageandwaterquality.

D.Increasingpopulationandtourism.

解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。從第二段和第三段可知，watershortage和waterquality是尼羅河

正面臨的兩大問題與挑戰(zhàn)，故C項正確。

答案：C

10.TheunderlinedworduhyacinthsM（inParagraph3）refersto“

A.animalsB.plants

C.rocksD.salts

解析：詞義理解題。第三段主要講尼羅河的水質(zhì)惡化，結(jié)合劃線部分可知，water

hyacinths表示“水生植物”，它們堵塞了湖泊和大壩以及部分河段，所以答案選B項。

答案：B

11.TheprogramNBIismainlyaimedat.

A.preventingwaterpollution

B.changingtherivercourse

C.improvinglivingconditionsofthepoor

D.preventinglandfrombecomingdesert

解析：事實細(xì)節(jié)題。從倒數(shù)第二段最后一句可知，NBI的目的在于尼羅河地區(qū)的社會

與經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展，提高和改善當(dāng)?shù)馗F苦百姓的生活，據(jù)此C項正確。

答案：C

12.Whatwouldbethebesttitleofthispassage?

A.People'sLifeinEgyptandSudan

B.FrequentDroughtinEgyptandSudan

題這一事實，所以D項為最佳選項。

答案：D
