答案以及解析

、

答案：l.D;2.C;3.A;4.B

解析：1.寫作意圖題。本段中作者通過對比提問，引出本文的話題人物，故答案

為Do

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段第二句和最后一句可知，由skijumping進(jìn)入英國隊的

競爭比較小，故答案為C0

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題o由最后一段中的"…,butheisproudofhisachievementtothisday"

可知Edwards對自己的表現(xiàn)和結(jié)果很滿意，故答案為A。

4.歸納總結(jié)題。由全文可知,Edwards很喜歡運(yùn)動，認(rèn)為參加比賽的目的是重在參

與而不僅僅是贏得比賽，故答案為Bo

—?、

答案：1-4ABDC

解析：1.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段對冒險家史蒂夫?福塞特的描述可知，他是一

個喜歡通過精心計劃來降低做事風(fēng)險的人，可是最后他卻在一次短途飛行中意外

身亡。由此可推知，再多的計劃也無法杜絕生活中危險的可能性。故選A項，

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段對本杰明?斯波克的描述及最后一句Yethisadvicestill

continuestoaffectthelivesofmillionsofchildrenandtheirparents.可知,他是一位

兒科醫(yī)生，即使在他去世后，他的建議仍在影響著千千萬萬的孩子以及他們的父

母。故選B項。

3.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段對三浦雄一郎的描述及其最后一句中的Ifyouwish

stronglyandhavecourageandendurance,thenyoucangettothesummitofyour

dream可知，他的經(jīng)歷告訴我們”有志者事竟成"，故選D項。

4.推理判斷題.根據(jù)全文講述的二個故事可以看出，這二個人物有一個共同的特

征：意志堅定，為自己喜歡的事堅持到生命的最后一刻。strong-willed意為"意

志堅定的"，故選C項。

、

答案：①■⑤ECAFG

解析：①根據(jù)設(shè)空處前一句However,thetelevisiondoesnothingtohelpmakethe

familyrelationshipsbetter.可知，電視對改善家庭關(guān)系沒有幫助.E項（事實上，它只

會增加家庭成員之間的距離.）承接上文.

②根據(jù)設(shè)空處前一句Itoftenserveswelltostarttheconversationrightbefore

dinnersothatsettingthetableanddoingotherthingsmaybecomelessboring.可

知，在晚餐前就開始談話通常很有幫助,這樣擺桌子和做其他事情就不會那么無聊

了.C項（一起做事可以讓家庭成員感覺很有趣.）承接上文.

⑤根據(jù)設(shè)空處前一句Childrendren'lusuallyverygooddlsharinginrurnidliunand

don'tknowhowtoreplywhenyouaskthemquestionslike"Howwasyourschoollife

today?"可知，孩子們通常不太善于分享信息，當(dāng)你問他們“今天你的學(xué)校生活怎

么樣?”時，他們不知道怎樣回答.A項（試著多了解他們，而不僅僅是了解他們的

學(xué)校生活.）切題.

④根據(jù)設(shè)空處后一句Therefore,allcontroversial（有爭議的）topicsshouldnotbe

talkedabout.可知，所有有爭議的話題都不應(yīng)該被談?wù)?，F(xiàn)項（晚餐時間的談話應(yīng)

該鼓勵家庭成員吃得好.）切題.Therefore說明前后是一種因果關(guān)系，故答案為F.

⑤根據(jù)設(shè)空處前一句What'smore,itserveswellifyoushareyourchildhood

memorieswithyourfamily.可知，如果你和你的家人分享你的童年記憶，那會很有

用.G項（他們，尤其是你的孩子，會因為聽到你小時候的所作所為而感到興奮.）承

接上文.
