所以他們應(yīng)是滿意的，故選B。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文可知，本文主要介紹了兩個(gè)旅游網(wǎng)站，所以文章可能的來源是雜

志，故選D。

【答案】

4.C

5.A

6.D

7.B

【分析】

本文是一篇說明文。文章主要向我們介紹了手工造紙的過程。

4.詞句猜測題。根據(jù)第一段倒數(shù)第二句"theflat,thinformremainingisallowedtodry.This

becomesasheetofpaper.”可知，剩卜的薄而平的薄片在晾干之后就成為了紙張，所以“This”

指代的就是上文的“薄片”，也就是"remaining”。故選C。

5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句"Theseshouldbecutintopiecesaboutfivecentimetersby

fivecentimeters「可知，原材料在制作前都需要被切割成5*5厘米的小方塊，也就是說手工

造紙的第一步就是切割，即f應(yīng)是過程的第一步，故排除C和D；又根據(jù)第五段“Afterseveral

moredryingsteps,thepaperiscarefullyliftedbackfromthemold.“可知I,紙張?jiān)诮?jīng)過幾次風(fēng)干

程序之后，才會(huì)從模具中拿出來，也就是說紙張是先風(fēng)干再拿出來，即a在e的前面，A選

項(xiàng)符合題意。故選A。

6.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段"..themoldletsthewaterflowthroughthesmallwiresquares.”

可知，模具制作成小方塊的金屬絲的樣子是為了讓水從空隙流過，從而加速風(fēng)干，D選項(xiàng)符

合題意。故選D。

7.主旨大意題。本文使用大篇幅主要向我們介紹了手工造紙的過程，所以本文的寫作目的

就是向我們描述紙張制作的過程。故選B。

C

【分析】

本文主要介紹了被人們稱為“鐵榔頭”的排球運(yùn)動(dòng)員/教練郎平的故事。

8.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Thingsdidn'tgowellattheverybeginningintheOlympics.”以及

“Shespenthertimethinkingabouthowtobeattheotherteamsandgettheplayerstodotheir

best.”可知，在奧運(yùn)會(huì)一開始的時(shí)候事情進(jìn)展不太順利，但是郎平還是愿意花時(shí)間去思考如

何贏得比賽；她的這些行動(dòng)恰好體現(xiàn)題目句子的意義”即使希望渺茫，也要全力以赴“；備選

選項(xiàng)中B選項(xiàng)的“有時(shí)雖然你不能贏，但是你同樣需要盡全力”與郎平的話意思相似。故選Bo

9.

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Herwordsandbehaviorinfluencedyoungerplayers.“可知，郎平的

言語和行動(dòng)影響了年輕一代的人們，朱婷就是其中之一的人；由此可推測，提及朱婷是為了

表示郎平給年輕一代樹立了榜樣，C選項(xiàng)符合題意。故選C。

10.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段"..theChinesewomen'steamfirstshowedtheworldits

speed"以及“Theteamworkandunyieldingspiritoftheteamhelpthemtakeeverychanceto

gainadvantage.”可知，速度、團(tuán)隊(duì)合作和永不服輸?shù)木穸际侵袊优徘蜿?duì)獲得好成績的

要素，而C選項(xiàng)的“搏斗”則是郎平個(gè)人精神的體現(xiàn)，無關(guān)團(tuán)隊(duì)。故選C。

11.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Aftereightyearsofhardtrainingandfighting,Langfinishedher

careerasavolleyballplayerin1986.In2013,shereturnedtotheyoungnationalteamafter

workingabroadasacoachfbr14years."可知,郎平當(dāng)了8年排球運(yùn)動(dòng)員，在國外當(dāng)了14年排

球教練后回國又繼續(xù)效力祖國的排球事業(yè)；可以說郎平的一生都和排球做伴，C選項(xiàng)符合題

意。故選C。
