解析：[解析]细节题。第二段最后两句说：我们通过这种方式获得的信息与我们通过其他途径获得的二手

信息有多大的差别啊!我们经常发现原以为与我们很不一样的外国人实际上却和我们差不多!可见，一个人

在旅游之前掌握的信息与旅游之后了解的实际情况有很大出入。A答案不够全面。

A.

C.√

D.

解析：[解析]逻辑推理题。作者在第一段连续问了三个问题：什么是撒谎?说假话就是撒谎吗?或者说撒谎

不仅仅是说假话?然后举例，你不想借钱给一位朋友，又怕伤害他的感情，于是你撒谎了，这样也是撒谎吗?

可见，作者认为，有时候为了不伤害他人的感情，撒谎是有必要的。

(2).InParagraph2,"womenarebetterliarsthanmen"probablymeans______.

aveabetterintentionwhentellinglies

ellfewerliesthanmendo（分数：2.00）

A.

B.

C.√

D.

解析：[解析]语义题。此句话中的better肯定是与男性相比后得出的结论。所以在对比男女撒谎的情况

后我们发现：女性撒谎是为了不伤害别人的感情，男性则是要从中得到好处，可见女性撒谎多是出于善意。

atoftenhasanevilpurpo（分数：2.00）

A.

thatshelikesherdresswhenshereallythinksitlooksterrible．我们可以猜测whitelie指的

是善意的谎言。

(4).Politiciansandbusinessmenaresuppodtobeskilledattellingthekindoflies______.

changesinanumberofsmall，apparentlyunimportantwayswhentheylie．研究表明，当人们撒谎

时，在一些细微的不重要的方面会发生行为变化。只有B符合题意。

D.√

解析：[解析]细节题目。文章首句提到，Firefightersareoftenaskedtospeaktocommunityabout

theimportanceoffiresafety，particularlyfirepreventionanddetection．可知消防员要告诉居

民防火知识。根据句子意思推出正确答案是D选项。

A.√

B.

C.

D.

解析：[解析]细节理解题目。文章第一段第二句提到，烟雾感应器在火灾中可以降低一半的死亡率。而A

项survivingafire的意思是在火灾中存活，二者的意思是一致的。所以正确的答案是A选项。

A.

B.√

C.

D.

解析：[解析]推理题。文章第二段提到，theremustbeadetectoroutsideeachsleepingarea．意

思是卧室外要安装烟感，这里的each和B选项中的all是一个意思。据此可以推出正确答案是B选项。

A.

B.

D.

解析：[解析]推理题。文章第三段提到，火灾时热空气到达不了闭塞空气区域，烟感的安装位置要么在距

离墙壁4英寸的天花板处，要么在墙壁高处，但距离天花板的距离最少得4英寸，最多不超过12英寸。由

此不难推知墙体和天花板交界处容易闭塞空气，故正确答案是C选项。

(5).Whatisthefocusofthispassage?

可知正确答案是B选项。

(2).Accordingtothepassage,wordsare______.

letters

entedbysounds

entedeitherbysoundsorletters

alledletters（分数：2.00）

A.

B.

C.√

D.

解析：[解析]细节题。第一段谈到人类起初用某种声音进行交流，后来又有了字母，字母结合起来可以代

表声音，也可以写下来。因此，这些说出来的声音也好，用字母写出来的声音也好．被称为单词。所以B

是正确答案：单词既可以代表声音，也可以代表字母。

(3).Thepowerofwordsliesintheir______.

（分数：2.00）

A.

D.

解析：[解析]’细节题。答案在第二段的第一句话：Thepowerofwords，then，liesintheir

A.√

B.

C.

D.

解析：[解析]主旨题。作者通过Pepysandhiswife向读者介绍了1666年的伦敦大火的情况：这场大火

发生的时间、起因以及后果等。可见本文的主题主要是围绕伦敦大火来展开的。

(2).Theywereupverylatebecau______.

A.

D.

解析：[解析]细节题。见第一段第二句：TheywereupverylateontheSaturdayevening，getting

准备。

当时Pepys正在睡觉。

(4)."Pepysslippedonhisdressinggown."Tosliponmeans______.

n（分数：2.00）

A.

B.

D.√

解析：[解析]词汇题。Pepysslippedonhisdressinggownandwenttothewindowtowatchit．根

据上题我们知道，当时Pepys正在睡觉，妻子叫醒他后，他才slippedon他的睡袍，走到窗户边去看。因

此slippedon的意思肯定与“穿”有关，首先就可排除B和C。其次分析A和D，A意为“穿着”，表状

态；D意为“穿上”，表动作。可确定D为正确答案。

(5).Whydidtheflamesspreadquickly?

C.

D.

解析：[解析]逻辑推理题。文章最后一段提到：thebaker’shouhadcaughtfirefromtheover-heated

ovenandthentheflameshadquicklyspreadtotheotherhousinthenarrowlane．C和D文

章并未提及，A最具干扰性。A应该是起火的原因，并不是本题问的大火迅速蔓延的原因。真正的原因应该

是B，这房子之间的足巨离很小。

ildrenusuallyenjoymorelovethanpoorchildren

lityofrichchildren'sfamilylifemaynotbehigh（分数：2.00）

A.

B.

C.

D.√

解析：[解析]逻辑推理题。在书中作者提到：穷人家和富人家的问题一样多。当然出生于富裕家庭是有许

多优越之处的，能够有健康的身体、接受更好的教育、将来的工作前景一片光明等。此后，作者话锋一转，

Butmostimportantisthequalityoffamilylife．Moneycan’tbuylove．(但最重要的是家庭生活

的质量，金钱并不能买来爱。)可见，富裕家庭的生活质量未必就比穷人的好。

(2).Inthedoctor'sview,______.

A．therearebothadvantagesanddisadvantagestobeingrich

B．travelingalotwillbebeneficialtochildren

C．richchildrenusuallyhavelittleconfidenceinthemlves

D．richkidsareoftenshortofmoneybecauoftheirlifeofluxury（分数：2.00）

A.√

B.

C.

D.

解析：[解析]逻辑推理题。通读全文，我们可以看到作者对富裕家庭的孩子的长处和不足进行了分析对比。

第二段主要讲述了出生在富裕家庭给孩子的负面影响：confud，spoilt，feelingsofrestlessness等。

第三段则提到了他们的长处：abetternoftheirpositionintheworld，morelf-assured等

等。A概括了这些内容，因此选A。

(3).Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrueaccordingtothepassage?

A．Richchildrenusuallyleadalifeofhappiness．

B．Richchildrenhaveearnedwhattheyhave．

C．Richchildrentendtofeelisolated．

D．Richchildrenarehardlygiventoomanymaterialthings．（分数：2.00）

A.

B.

C.√

D.

解析：[解析]细节题。根据第二段可知A不正确。第四段第二句说：Therichchildrenin—heritthe

propertyfromtheirparentsandenjoyahighincome．可见，他们的财富不是自己挣来的，而是从父

辈手里继承的，所以B和D错误。第四段还提到：However，theywillhaveanofisolation．C

正合句意。

(4).Accordingtotheauthorofthepassage，______．

A．1ifeisreallyalongjourneyofjoyforrichchildren

B．therichchildrenfeelgreatlysatisfiedwiththepropertytheyinheritfromtheirparents

C．itismostimportantforwealthyparentstomakesurethattheirfamiliesarerichinlove

D．todayallthewealthyparentsaresureoftheproblemstheirmoneycanbring（分数：2.00）

A.

B.

C.√

D.

解析：[解析]细节题。A最具干扰性。文章第一句说：Lifereallyshouldbeonejourneyofjoyfor…，

A则是说Lifeisreallyalong…，把作者的希望变成了现实，因此不对。答案在文章最后一句：Sothe

firstthingforthemtoconsideristoensurethattheirfamiliesareasrichinloveastheyare

inmoney．因此C正确。

(5).Itemsthattheauthorofthepassage______whatDrColessaysinthebookThePrivileged

A.

B.

C.

D.√

解析：[解析]态度题。作者在第一段提出了自己的观点：Lifereallyshouldbeonejourneyofjoyfor

childrenbornwithaworldofwealthattheirfeet．然后引用Dr．Coles的ThePrivilegedOnes

一书来说明和论证，毫无疑问，作者肯定是同意他的观点的。

解析：[解析]计算题。第五段提到：In1830，worldpopulationreached1billion．Ittookonly100

世界的人口在1830年达到10亿。100年后，即1930年达到20亿，而从20亿到30亿只花了30年时间。

可见，世界人口从10亿增长到30亿共经历了130年时间。

C.

D.√

解析：[解析]主旨题。A的内容本文并未提到；B的后半部分叙述有误，原文是说today’sworldpopulation

of5.1billionwillhit6.4billionbytheyear2000．可见作者写此文时，全世界的人口才51亿，

而不是这51亿人都生活在不发达国家。c提到发达国家的人口增长正得到控制，而实际上是已经得到控制。

通读全文，我们可知，文章传递这样一个信息：世界人口在不断增长。因此D正确。
