AOptimistic. BProductive. CGenerous. DTraditional. 答案：B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段第二句with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings，sculptures，drawings and more.可知，達利的作品數(shù)量很多，這和productive(多產(chǎn)的)相呼應(yīng)，故選B項。,2What is Dalis The Persistence of Memory considered to be? AOne of his masterworks. BA successful screen adaptation. CAn artistic creation for the stage. DOne of the best TV programmes. 答案：A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段第三句Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces，most importantly The Persistence of Memory.可知，記憶的永恒是達利的杰作之一，故選A項。,3How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali? ABy popularity. BBy importance. CBy size and shape. DBy time and subject. 答案：D 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.可知，該展覽是根據(jù)時間和主題來布展的，故選D項。,4What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to? AArtworks. BProjects. CDonations. DDocuments. 答案：A 詞義猜測題。最后一段提到該展覽中的主要作品是通過與不同機構(gòu)組織的合作而精選出的，所以contribution應(yīng)指文中的major works，即藝術(shù)品，故選A項。,Passage 2 (2014課標全國B) Passenger pigeons (旅鴿)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers.Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours. It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point，there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeonsa number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world.Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.,Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were most abundant，people believed there was an everlasting supply and killed them by the thousands.Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time.The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.,By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans need for wood, which scattered (驅(qū)散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline.Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.,In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons，but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years.The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900.For a time, a few birds survived under human care.The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914. 立意與點撥：本文介紹了美國的旅鴿滅絕的原因與經(jīng)歷。旅鴿的數(shù)量曾經(jīng)多到飛行時能夠遮天蔽日，后來人類的濫捕濫殺和對它們棲息地的破壞導(dǎo)致了它們的滅絕。,1In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons_. Awere the biggest bird in the world Blived mainly in the south of America Cdid great harm to the natural environment Dwere the largest bird population in the US 答案：D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句以及第二段第一句可知，在18世紀和19世紀初，旅鴿的數(shù)量占到了美國鳥類總量的24%至40%，這一結(jié)果可能使其成為全世界最多數(shù)量的鳥類。由此可推斷出，旅鴿當時是美國數(shù)量最多的鳥類。,2The underlined word “undoing” probably refers to the pigeons_. Aescape Bruin Cliberation Devolution 答案：B 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第三段畫線單詞之后敘述的內(nèi)容可知鴿子被當作城市飯店中的食物，遭受了長期大量的捕殺，可判斷出畫線單詞所在句子的意思是說鴿子的數(shù)量遭受了“毀滅性”的打擊。因此可知，畫線單詞的意思應(yīng)該是“毀滅、破壞”與選項中的ruin的意思最接近。,3What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons? ATo seek pleasure. BTo save other birds. CTo make money. DTo protect crops. 答案：C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句話“The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.”可知，鴿子被捕捉后被運往大城市賣給了各個餐廳，由此可推斷出人們捕殺鴿子主要是為了掙錢。,4What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan? AIt was ignored by the public. BIt was declared too late. CIt was unfair. DIt was strict. 答案：B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“.but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years.The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900.”制定法律的時候，已有十年時間都沒有看見成規(guī)模的鴿群了，再根據(jù)其后說的在法律制定的三年后即1990年時連最后一只被確認的野旅鴿也死亡了，說明了宣布實施這部法律時為時已晚。,斷章取義，忽視邏輯 What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars, movies and DVDs, sporting goods, travel tickets, musical instruments, clothes and shoesthe list goes on and on.,The idea came from Peter Omidyar, who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tuft University in 1988, he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby, at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升級) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skill, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. Even in the crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.,QFrom “he has never looked back” in Paragraph 2 we learn that Pierre _. Adid not feel lonely Bwas always hopeful Cdid not think about the past Dbecame more and more successful 錯誤分析：如果只看Joined by a friend, Peter Skill, and in 1998 by his capable CEO, Meg Whitman, he has never looked back. “有了朋友Peter Skill和1998年能力過人的首席執(zhí)行官Meg Whitman的加入，他再也沒有回頭?！比菀渍`選B或C，認為他有了幫手后信心大增，對未來充滿希望了。,答案：D 此題是猜測詞義及推理判斷題，根據(jù)文章理解短語“l(fā)ook back”的具體意思。這類題考查目的是，讓考生以上下文內(nèi)容為參考，嘗試理解文中出現(xiàn)的生詞或短語。而文章中出現(xiàn)這個生詞的位置，往往下文中出現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容是對這個詞的解釋、說明、舉例等。在he has never looked back之后，緊接著出現(xiàn)了Even in the crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet. “ 盡管在20世紀90年代出現(xiàn)網(wǎng)絡(luò)崩潰，eBay還是一步一步的壯大了，成為網(wǎng)絡(luò)購物10個訪問量最大的網(wǎng)絡(luò)市場之一”，說明彼得事業(yè)的成功，因此答案應(yīng)該為D。做這類題目一定要看具體的上下文，不能斷章取義，不注意與原文內(nèi)容的聯(lián)系。,
