2.Bo判斷題。根據(jù)第2段第4句話Nowhebegantowriteaboutandtopaintanddrawwhathe

saw.可以推知。

3.Co語義理解題。IKm..asaboyhelovedhorsesandfedonthejournalsofsomefamouswriters

可知答案為C。（其中的feedon意為“從…得到供養(yǎng)”）

4.Bo判斷題。文章第1句話IfCatlinwasthepainteroftheAmericanIndiansandBierstadtthe

B.BlainewasbornandbroughtupinBigland.

C.InBlaine5sopinion,peoplecancreateawonder.

D.Blainedidn'thaveanyfoodfor44days.

【答案與解析】本文主要講述美國魔術(shù)師DavidBlaine多次挑戰(zhàn)人體極限，這次又進(jìn)行了44天的

饑餓實(shí)驗(yàn)。

1.Co推測(cè)題。Hewasthenslowlyreintroducedtofood,aprocessdoctorssaidcouldbelife

threatening可知，進(jìn)食對(duì)他來說是個(gè)威脅生命的過程。

2.Ao細(xì)節(jié)題。文中說attimeshewasunabletosee,是說他有時(shí)看不見東西，但并不等于說他的

眼睛瞎了。故A的說法不符合事實(shí)。

3.B。推斷題。根據(jù)..buriedinacoffinforoneweek.,spent62hoursinagiantblockofice..stood

theontopofa25-meterpillarinthecenterofNew\brkfor35hoursbeforejumpingintoapileof

boxes等細(xì)節(jié)描寫，我們可以得出這個(gè)結(jié)論：DavidSaine喜歡冒險(xiǎn)，當(dāng)然這里面有“勇敢”的成分，

但兩者比較?下，可知Adventurous更佳。故選B。

4.Bo細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)AnativeofBrooklyn,New\brk我們可以知道Blaine是地地道道的美國人。

時(shí)發(fā)生的有趣的事。

1.Co細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。運(yùn)用排除法：由于文章中說HelivedinAustraliaforalongtime,所以可排除

A和B；根據(jù)文章第1句Inthelastfiftyyears…排除選項(xiàng)D。故選C較為恰當(dāng)。

2.Bo細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)I'mgoingtogobacktoHungarytovisitmyhometown可知答案是B。

3.A。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)TheHungarianAustraliantookhisfriendsfromSidneytoFbmeinabigplane,

andthentheywentfromFbmetoBudapestinatrainastheywantedtoseethemountains,andthe

villagesandthetowns可知他們從Wdney到Fbme乘的是K機(jī),然后坐火車從Fbme至ijBudapest,

所以他們從gdney到Budapest是先乘飛機(jī)，再坐火車，故選A。

4.Ao細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)...bothofthekangaroosrantohim可知kangaroos是有生命的，而且

會(huì)ran（跑），比較4個(gè)答案可知只能選A。

bread,alreadybutteredforhim可知答案為D。

2.Bo判斷題。根據(jù)Iloveyouverymuch,Edith.Iwouldlovemoreifyoubutteredmybreadon

3.Co判斷題。文中描寫出了五個(gè)女兒早上的忙碌，他們的父親總是不停地讓為她們做事，而且他

的命令只限于兒個(gè)單詞，甚至動(dòng)作，所以應(yīng)該選擇Co
