們學(xué)會(huì)向孩子們提一些開放式問題，而不是問用“是或不是''回答的問題。再根據(jù)下

C>alltheshopscloseforatwo-wcckChristmasholiday

D、peopledoivthaveenoughmoneytogolookingfbrbargains

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：其中A項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞為discount,它的意思是“reductioninprice”］降

價(jià)），與文章第一段中“AHtheshopsreducetheirprices.”的意思相一致，故A項(xiàng)是

正確的。其他三個(gè)選項(xiàng)都不符合文章的意思。

17、Inthispassage,theword"bargain"couldbestbereplacedby"something

A、giventopeople

B、offeredatareducedprice

C、offered,soldorboughtwhichisexpensive

D、soldforthepurposeofreachinganagreement

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B--

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：題中“bargain”為關(guān)鍵詞，它的意思是“somethingthatischeap”（便宜

貨），與B項(xiàng)“降價(jià)所提供的東西”相一致，所以B項(xiàng)是正確答案。

Thehusbandandwifeinthestory.

A、wishedtobuyaTV

B、wenttothesalesnormally

C^oftenwenttothesalestobuyclothes

D、wereusuallynotshortofmoneyafterChristmas

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：從文章第二段中的第二句"Webothnccdcd...andwerehopingtofinda

lelevisionsel.”可判斷A項(xiàng)為正確答案。其他三項(xiàng)不符合文章的意思。

19、Thephrase"splitup"inthesecondparagraphmeans"

A、breakapart

B、causetobreak

C^becomepieces

D、goindifferentdirections

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：短語動(dòng)詞splitup的漢語意思是：朝不同方向前進(jìn)。如：Thegroup

splituptotrytofindfood］隊(duì)伍分頭去尋找食物）。D項(xiàng)就是splitup的含義,故為正

確答案。

A、werehappywiththeirbargains

B、hadgoteverythingtheywanted

C>gotmorethantheyhadhopedfor

D、hadtogobacktothesalesthenextday

機(jī)，和C項(xiàng)內(nèi)容相符；比他們?cè)瓉硐Ｍ徺I的要多。其他三項(xiàng)和文章的內(nèi)容不

A、alwaysconsiderthingsdifferentlyfromothers

B>areusuallyinfluencedbytheresultsofcertainthings

C、candiscovertheunpleasantpartofcertainthings

D^usuallyhaveafault-findinghabit

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：由題干關(guān)鍵詞unhappy定位到第二段第三句Thosewhoaretobe

unh叩pythinkandspeakonlyofthecontrarythings.可知，不快樂的人的表現(xiàn)是，他

們總是看到或關(guān)注事物的負(fù)面，愛挑毛病。因此選項(xiàng)D與文意相符。

7、Whenthoseunhappypeoplemeetothers,theywill.

A、haveagoodtasteofthepleasuresofsociety

B、feeldepressedaboutthepleasuresofsociety

C^behappywiththepleasuresofsociety

D、enjoythepleasuresofsociety

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：由題干關(guān)鍵詞unhappy,定位到文章第二段第三句。通過本段接下來

對(duì)不快樂的人的描述可知，他們會(huì)使原本愉快的社交活動(dòng)變得不愉快。因此，選項(xiàng)

B符合文意。

D^theseunhappypeoplearcnotcontentwithanythingtheyhave

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)文章第三段第三句Thehabitmaybestrong,butitmaybecured

whenthosewhohaveitareconvincedofitsbadeffectsontheirinterestsandtastes.可

知，當(dāng)有這種習(xí)慣的人認(rèn)識(shí)到這種態(tài)度給他們帶來的不良影響時(shí)，他們也許會(huì)改掉

這種毛病C

9^"Andscarcelythat"inthelastparagraphmeans.

A、justlikethat

B、almostnotlikethat

C、morethanthat

D、notatalllikethat

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：scarcely表示“幾乎不是，幾乎沒有''或是"幾乎還沒'’的意思，只有否

定意義。因此，選項(xiàng)中只有B符合文意。

10^Ifsuchunhappypersonsdon'tchangetheirbadbehavior,theauthorssuggeststhat

A、avoidcontactingwiththem

criticizetheirmisconduct

C、helpthemrecognizeitsbadefleets

D^shownorespectandpolitenesstothem

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：由題干關(guān)鍵詞change和badbehavior定位到全文最后兩句These

peopleshouldchangethisbadhabit.Iftheydonot,itwillbegoodforotherstoavoid

anycontactwiththem.可知，作者建議人們對(duì)這樣的人最好采取回避的態(tài)度。題干

中的badbehavior是文中badhabit的轉(zhuǎn)述。

C、abouttheneedforrobotstosavepower

D^aboutthedangerofmenworkingatnight

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：通過閱讀文章可知作者通過引用機(jī)器人探索太空的例子來說明機(jī)器人

也需要休息來進(jìn)行能量補(bǔ)充，從而引出下面的話題，說明人類為什么需要睡眠，故

選B。

12、Evolutionhasprogrammedmantosleepatnightchieflytohelphim.

A、maintainaregularpatternoflife

B、preventtroublethatcomeslookingforhim

C、avoiddangerandinefficientlabor

D、restorehisbodilyfunctions

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

dangerous,可知人們?cè)谝归g休息主要是因?yàn)橥黹g活動(dòng)效率低下，而且可能很危
