险的故事。5．细节理解题。根据第三段SacagaweaalsojoinedasaninterpretertotalktoNative-Americanpeopleontheir8,000-milejourney.可知，探险家

雇佣Sacagawea目的是帮助他们和当地印第安人交流。故选D。6．词义猜测题。根据划线单词后半句whentheyreachedthePacificOceaninNovember1805,Sacagaw

eawasaskedtocasthervoteforwheretheyshouldbuildafort.当他们在1805年11月到达太平洋时，Sacagawea被要求投票决定他们应该在哪里建造营地。可推知，Sacagawea受到Lewis和Clark的尊敬，他

们才会要求Sacagawea决定在哪里露营；由此可知，划线单词“esteemed”的意思是repected“尊敬”之意，故选A。7．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段描述Sacagaweaprovedherselfag

ainafterthegrouptookadifferentroutehomethroughwhatisnowIdaho.…andhelpedtheexpeditionfindtheirwaythrough.Clarkevenpraisedherashis“pilot”.Sacagawea再次

证明了自己的能力，她的团队选择了一条不同的路线，穿过现在的爱达荷州回家。当他们经过她的家乡时，Sacagawea想起了她童年时在Shoshone部落留下的足迹，并帮助探险队找到了道路。Clark甚至称赞她是他的“领航员”。可知，Sacagawea在探险

活动的地位是无可替代的。故选B。8．主旨大意题。本文讲述女孩Sacagawea帮助探险队成功探险的故事，由此可知，Anoutstandinggirl.一个杰出的女孩。切题。故选C。(二)AfellowspeakerfromCalif

叙文，主要讲述了一个叫格瑞的美国人来到日本，因为不了解日本的礼仪文化而做的一些不合时宜的事。9．推理判断题。根据第四段的“ThesecondmistakewasGeri'shandlingoftheirbus

inesscardsrudely.”可知，第二个错误是格瑞粗鲁地处理他们的名片，由此可推断，在四位日本绅士的眼里，格瑞十分不恭敬地接过了他们的名片。故选D。10．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Then,thefourthhorrorofhorrorswasthatGerishoul

dnothaveopenedthegiftinfrontofherclients.Inalandwheresavingfaceiscritical,itwouldbeembarrassingtodiscovert

hegifttheygavewasnotasniceastheonetheyreceived.Whatisworse,Gerihadn’tevengiventhemagift!”可知，然后，第四个可怕的事情是，格瑞不应该在她的客户面前打开礼物。在一个面子至关重要的国家

，如果发现他们送的礼物没有收到的那么好，那就很尴尬了。更糟糕的是，格瑞甚至没有给他们礼物！由此判断出，这些男士认为格瑞的做法极为不礼貌，已经无法忍受，所以离开了，故选A。11．词义猜测题。根据第三段最后的“Whatdidshedowrong

？”（她哪里做的不对）以及第四段“Thesecondmistake”（第二个错误）可知，划线词的意思是“错误”，指的是她的牛仔裤是第一个错误。故选C。12．推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一个叫格瑞的美

国人来到日本，因为不了解日本的礼仪文化而做的一些不合时宜的事。由此判断出，我们从故事中学到要入乡随俗。故选C。（三）Formostpeople,graduationisanexcitingdaythecelebrationofyearso

killfulmariner.D．Misfortunestelluswhatfortuneis.【答案】13.B14.C15.B16.A【解析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要介绍了作者在毕业后经历了失败和恐惧，然后依靠坚持写作走出困境的励志文章。13．推理判断题。根据文章第二段第四、五句“WhatI

thoughtwouldtakeaweekdraggedintotwo,andthenfour,and100jobapplicationslater,IfoundmyselfintheexactsamespotasIwasbefore.A

ndtheduedatetobeginpayingbackmystudentloanswascreepingevercloser.”可知，作者在毕业后难以找到工作，而学生贷款还款期限日益逼近，作者无力偿还，由此可知作者陷入经济困难。故选B项。14．细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一、二句“

SowhatdidIdotomaintainmysanity(理智)?Iwrote.”以及第六句“SoIchanneledmyfrustrationintoachildren'sbook.”可知，作者通过坚持写作来改变自己的令人沮丧

的处境。故选C项。15．猜测词义题。根据文章最后一段第一、二句“Themoralofthisstoryis…don'tgiveup.Evenifthingslookbleaknow,don'tgiveup.”可知，能够导致你对一件事情的放弃，这件事可能是无望的或者是糟糕的，所以能够替换bleak

的词是hopeless。故选B项。16．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Themoralofthisstoryis...don'tgiveup.Evenifthingslookbleaknow,don'tgiveup.ThingschangeIfyouworkh

ard,giveittime,anddon'tgiveup,thingswillalwaysgetbetterOftentimesallweneedisthecouragetopushbeyondtheriver.”可知，本文主要谈论的是成功属于坚忍不拔的人。故选A项。(四)Igrewu

gerBrotherwasGivenC．LessonsMyLittleBrotherHelpedMeLearnD．TheGreatQualitiesofMyLittleBrother【答案】17．C18．B19．A20．C【解析】本文是议论文，作者作为一个姐姐，从弟弟那学习到了很多。17

．推理判断题。根据第一段“HavingayoungerbrotherwhileIwasagirlwasalotofworkfortherewasalotoffighting.”当我还是个小女孩的时候，有个弟弟对我来说是件很辛苦的事，因为经常会吵架。第二段进行了转折“Howe

ver,aswe'vegotolder,we'vebecomecloser,andI'velearnedseveralthingsinlifefrommyyoungerbrotherthatIdidn'trealizeIneededbefore.”然而，随着我们年龄的增长，我们的

关系越来越亲密，我从弟弟身上学到了很多以前我不知道自己需要的东西。所以作者作为一个姐姐，觉得麻烦但是鼓舞人心。故选C项。18．推理判断题。根据第三段“He'shelpedremindmethroughhisactionsandwordsthatgivinguponcreativi

tyissomethingapersonshouldneverdo.”他用行动和言语提醒我，放弃创造力是一个人永远都不应该做的事。所以弟弟给姐姐的建议是永远不要停止创造。故选B项。19．推理判断题。根据第四段“Myyoungerbrotherhasalwaysbe

enamoreintrovertedtype,andifyouspeaktohim,you'reluckytogetoverthreewordsoutofhimatatime.”我弟弟一直比较内向，如果你跟他说话，能一次说出三个字就很幸运了。可知intro

vertedpeople指的是很内向安静的人，故选A项。20．主旨大意题。根据第二段“andI'velearnedseveralthingsinlifefrommyyoungerbrotherthatIdidn'trealizeIneeded

before.”在生活中，我从弟弟那里学到了很多以前我不知道自己需要的东西。作者在此展开叙述，讲述弟弟的优点对自己的影响，所以本文的主旨是我从弟弟那里学到的课程。故选C项。(五)Lastyear,myoldestsonMatthewwento

21．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Lastyear,myoldestsonMatthewwentofftocollege.Thingsathomewerenotas“busy”astheyusedtobe.Westill

hadour15-year-oldsonGabrielwithus,butwemissedhavingMatthewaround.”以及文章第二段“Mywifesoonhadacrazyidea.“Let’s

getadog.”shesuggested.”可推知，去年大儿子上大学后，由于生活没有那么忙碌，也很思念自己的孩子，所以作者的妻子才想要养一条狗。故选D项。22．词义猜测题。根据文章第二段“Mywifesoonhadacrazyidea.“Let’sgetadog.”sh

esuggested.以及“butIagreed”可知，but表示转折，即：虽然我对这个想法并不太满意（兴奋），但还是同意了，所以画线词thrilled意为“兴奋，高兴”。故选B项。23．细节理解题。根据

文章最后一段“Heisalwaystheretogreetuswhenwecomehomewithahugesmile.He’sshownusmorelovethananyotherlivingcreatureonEartheverhadbefore.可知，作者夫妇与收养的斗牛犬过着充满爱的生活

。故选C项。24．推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要讲述了作者和妻子收养了一只斗牛犬，他们过着充满爱的生活，其目的就是分享关于收养宠物的温暖的故事。故选A项。
