【3】D

【解析】

本文為說(shuō)明文。文中介紹了星巴克、谷歌和耐克品牌名字的由來(lái)，并

說(shuō)明品牌名字的重要性。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Starbucks部分的中間Thefounders'originalidea

wastonamethecompanyaftertheCaptainAhab'sship,butthey

eventuallydecidedthatPequotwasn'tagreatnameforcoffee,sothey

choseAhab'sfirstmate,Starbucks,asthenameinstead.（倉(cāng)U始人最初的

是想以船長(zhǎng)Ahab的船的名字來(lái)命名公司。但他們最終認(rèn)定（船的名字）

佩特不是咖啡的好名字，所以他們選擇了亞哈的大副星巴克，作為名

字。）由此可知，這艘船的名字叫Pequot,故選C項(xiàng)。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)"Google”部分中的內(nèi)容whenthefoundersofthe

companyweresearchingforanewnameshowingahugeamountof

datafortheirrapidlyimprovingsearchtechnology（當(dāng)該公司的倉(cāng)始人正

在尋找一個(gè)新名字，來(lái)表示他們搜索引擎技術(shù)的快速發(fā)展。）由此可

推斷出，改名是因?yàn)楣镜乃阉饕婕夹g(shù)的快速發(fā)展，故選D項(xiàng)。

[31細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段"恰當(dāng)?shù)拿謱?duì)于一個(gè)公司的成功是

至關(guān)重要的，一個(gè)偉大故事的起源和一個(gè)偉大的產(chǎn)品一樣重要。一個(gè)

吸引人的故事起源是一個(gè)讓顧客猜測(cè)、疑惑和購(gòu)買(mǎi)公司產(chǎn)品的東西。"

可知，D項(xiàng)表述符合文意，故選D項(xiàng)。

本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要解釋一個(gè)許多人可能共有的誤解

-----England和English這兩個(gè)詞在英語(yǔ)中最常被人們弄混。

L1]細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段"Beforetherewasacountrythere

werethepeople.Andbeforetherewerepeople,therewasland.（在有國(guó)

家之前，先有人民。在有人類(lèi)之前，就有了土地。）“可知，正確的順

序應(yīng)為土地、人民、國(guó)家。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第五段"ThelargeroneiscalledBritain,or

GreatBritain,andthesmalleroneiscalledIreland,andthesetwo,

togetherwithmanysmallislandsmakeupwhatiscalledtheBritishIsles.

（較大的一個(gè)叫不列顛，較小的一個(gè)叫愛(ài)爾蘭島，這兩個(gè)島和許多小

島組成了所謂的不列顛群島。）"和第六段"Atpresentitismadeupof

準(zhǔn)確地稱(chēng)為英國(guó)。）〃可知，不列顛群島是由英國(guó)和愛(ài)爾蘭共和國(guó)兩個(gè)

國(guó)家組成。故選Bo

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后一段"PeoplestilltendtocallBritain

容可知，文章主要解釋一個(gè)許多人可能共有的誤解---England和

【答案】

[11B

[2]D

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

試題分析：本文屬于文化說(shuō)明文，介紹了一些與dog有關(guān)的英語(yǔ)短語(yǔ)

并解釋了這些短語(yǔ)的意思以及使用語(yǔ)境。

[1]B主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一句Americansusemanyexpressions

withtheworddog.說(shuō)明在美國(guó)人的語(yǔ)言中有很多與dog有關(guān)的詞組,

接下來(lái)在文章中作者列舉了很多有dog這個(gè)單詞的短語(yǔ)并解釋了這

些短語(yǔ)的意思以及使用語(yǔ)境。故B正確。

【2】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句Suchhardworkcanmake

peopledog-tired.And,thesituationwouldbeevenworseiftheybecame

sickasadog.說(shuō)明艱苦的工作會(huì)讓dog-tired,該詞是形容人們經(jīng)歷了

艱苦的工作以后的疲憊程度。所以D項(xiàng)正確。

【3】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段前兩句Somepeoplearecomparedto

dogsinbadways.Peoplewhoareunkindoruncaringcanbedescribed

asmeanerthanajunkyarddog.可矢口meandogs和junkyarddogs這兩個(gè)

短語(yǔ)表示的都是不好的方面的人。故A正確。

【4】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段后三句Butmeandogsareoftenused

toguardthisproperty.Theybarkorattackpeoplewhotrytoenterthe

property.However,sometimesapersonwhoappearstobemeanand

threateningisreallynotsobad.Wesayhisbarkisworsethanhisbite.可

知meandog指那些保衛(wèi)財(cái)產(chǎn)的人，雖然他們顯得很有侵略性，但是

他是為了保護(hù)自己的財(cái)產(chǎn)。他們的出發(fā)點(diǎn)是好的，所以這些人并不像

表面那么的糟糕。故D項(xiàng)正確。
