述与原文有出入。 2.[B]细节判断题。themostdifficultthin9是Thehardestlesson的同义改写,故可定位到第3段。该段首句指出最困难的事情是“相信自己”,But所在的句子做了更具体的解释即“对自己的一种坚信,我还是我,尽管不是完美的……坚信自己可以找到一个适合自己的位置”,故选B。A太笼统;由第2段可知他的生活并不是孤单的,他还有父母、老师等的支持,故C错误;D文中没有提到。 3.[C]句意理解题。本题可用排除法。第3段第3句提到,“如果我不坚信自己,我会崩溃,变成一个坐在轮椅里的废人了,在门廊前度此余生”,由此可知C正确。 4.[D]细节判断题。根据baseball定位到倒数第2段。从该段最后两句可知棒球和那个男人的鼓励给作者以启示和鼓舞.从而发明了一种叫“滚球”的运动,故选D。该段提到作者以为那个男人是在嘲讽他,但后来在他的激励下有所启发,故A错误;B“给作者留下了深刻印象”在文中没有提及;C中的directly错误,男人的话只是给了作者启发。 5.[B]细节判断题。最后一段第2、3句表明我们要意识到自己的局限性,在开始时尝试那些遥不可及的东西只会徒劳无益,故B正确;由该段第1句和最后一句可知作者为自己不断设立目标并实现了大部分的目标,故A错误:最后一句的anywaybut可知C错误;文中并没有指出他每次尝试一个目标是因为他自己的局限,故D属干随意捏造。 Ihaveknownveryfewwriters,butthoseIhaveknown,andwhomIrespected,confessatoncethattheyhavelittleideawheretheyaregoingwhentheyfirstsetpentopaper.Theyhaveacharacter,perhapstwo;theyareinthatconditionofeagerdiscomfortwhichpassesforinspiration;alladmitradicalchangesofdestinationoncethejoumeyhasbegun;one,tomycertainknowledge,spentninemonthsonanovelaboutKashmir,thenresetthewholethingintheScottishHighlands.Ineverheardofanyonemakinga"skeleton",asweweretaughtatschool.Inthebreakingandremaking,inthetiming,interweaving,beginningafresh,thewritercomestodiscernthingsinhismaterialwhichwerenotconsciouslyinhismindwhenhebegan.

A.shouldbemadecomprehensible B.shouldbemadeinteresting C.areofmuchuseinourlife D.havedisappearedfromourlife 1.D)根据文章第一段第五行“Perhapsthepaintersthoughtthattheirpictureswouldhelpthemtocatchtheseanimals.”可知古代人以为在墙上画画会对他们有所帮助,故选项D为正确答案。 2.C)在做此类题时要注意题干的要求。通过阅读文章第四段很清楚就知道选项C“前者容易发音”在文中没有提及,故为正确答案。 3.A)可用排除法来做本题。通过阅读文章很清楚选项B和D为错误陈述。选项C“罗马字母是从埃及字母发展而来的”根据文章第四段第四,五句可知为错误论述,因此只有选项A为正确答案。 4.C)文章最后一段讲述了图画在今天的用途,故选项C为正确答案。 GlacierNationalParkinMontanasharesboundarieswithCanada,anAmericanIndianreservation,andanationalforest.AlongtheNorthForkoftheFlatheadRiver,theparkalsobordersabout17,000acresofprivatelandsthatarecurrentlyusedforranching,timber,andagriculture.Thislandisanimportantpartofthehabitatandmigratoryroutesforseveralendangeredspeciesthatfrequentthepark.Theseprivatelandsareessentiallytheonlyonesavailablefordevelopmentintheregion.

,故答案为B。 2.D)这是一道细节题。根据第一段第三句“Thislandisanimportantpartofthehabitatandmigratoryroutesforseveralendangeredspeciesthatfrequentthepark.”(这片土地是非常重要的,因为这里是几种经常光顾此公园的濒危物种的栖息地和迁徙路线。)可知选项D为正确答案。 3.C)根据第二段可知,公园当局和地方土地所有者密切合作来保护资源,因此他们的关系是"cooperative"(合作性的)。? 4.A)这是一道推理题。根据第二段第三句和阅读全文,我们很容易就可以得到这样一个信息:为了保护自然资源和濒危物种,公园管理者限制那些会破坏资源的土地开发。因此选项A为正确答案。 Certainlynocreatureintheseaisodderthanthecommonseacucumber.Alllivingcreature,especiallyhumanbeings,havetheirpeculiarities,buteverythingaboutthelittleseacucumberseemsunusual.Whatelsecanbesaidaboutabizarreanimalthat,amongothereccentricities,eatsmud,feedsalmostcontinuouslydayandnightbutcanlivewithouteatingforlongperiods,andcanbepoisonousbutisconsideredsupremelyediblebygourmets?
