B. White和The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter。綜合分析，故選B項(xiàng)?！?題詳解】細(xì)

11、節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段These tales come before all others and are popular, as authors throughout history, have written them（這些故事比其他所有的故事都來(lái)得早，而且很受歡迎，因?yàn)闅v史上的作家都寫過這些故事）可知，句中的“這些故事”指的就是前文提及的“現(xiàn)代民間故事”。根據(jù)作者的看法，民間故事比其他故事來(lái)的都早，因此可以判斷民間故事的歷史最長(zhǎng)。故選D項(xiàng)。BBefore my daughter, Evelyn, was born, I eagerly expected her first year of

12、 life. I imagined celebrating every milestonebonding with her as a newborn, seeing her smile for the first time, hearing her say her first word. 1 didnt think of feeding tubes, long hospital stays or an organ transplant( 移植). For Evelyn, the first year included all and more.Evelyn came into this wor

13、ld at just 34 weeks, weighing less than 3 pounds. Genetic testing revealed she had Alagille syndrome, a genetic disorder that can damage the liver(肝臟),heart and other organs. Soon, we received the news that baby Evelyn needed a liver transplant. Our family moved nearer to UPMC Childrens Hospital of

14、Pittsburgh so that we were closer if a liver was available for Evelyn.When Evelyn was added to the organ donation wait list, I was under the liver allocation policy in place at that time,which was map-based. This policy lacks any special consideration for transplant candidates.We were told it would

15、likely take three months. Just then, a new policy for liver allocation was tried out.Under the new system, the sickest child patients get first priority(優(yōu)先).The new policy was only in effect for a little over a week, but in that period, Evelyn received her liver transplant. Had it been just one week

16、 earlier or later, we would not have received the call.As Evelyn recovers from her transplant, we are grateful for the change.I am also sad, because the new policy was short-lived. That means another mom like me might not receive that phone call with good news.Other children should have the same opp

17、ortunity as Evelyn to live healthy, happy lives. When it comes to liver transplant policy, we can and must do better for children.4. What probably happened to Evelyn shortly after she was born?A.

18、suffered from a heart attack.5. Why did the authors family move nearer to the hospital?A. To save time.B. To have money.C. To see a doctor.D. To get first priority.6.

The sickest kids should get liver transplants first.D. The old policy lacks special consideration for kids.【答案】

20、4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C【解析】本文是一篇記敘文。講述了新生兒Evelyn患了肝衰竭并幸運(yùn)接收到新政策幫助?！?題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Genetic testing revealed she had Alagille syndrome, a genetic disorder that can damage the liver,heart and other organs.”可知作者的女兒根據(jù)基因測(cè)試，顯示她得了一種遺傳疾病，會(huì)損害肝臟,心臟和其他器官，因此推測(cè)她患了嚴(yán)重的肝衰竭。故選B項(xiàng)?！?題詳解】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Our family moved nearer

21、 to UPMC Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh so that we were closer if a liver was available for Evelyn.”可知作者一家搬到了離匹茲堡的UPMC兒童醫(yī)院更近的地方，這樣如果Evelyn有可獲取移植的肝臟，就能更近一些以節(jié)約時(shí)間。故選A項(xiàng)?！?題詳解】句意猜測(cè)題。畫線句的意思是“如果只是一周或更晚，我們就不會(huì)接到電話了”，根據(jù)前一句“The new policy was only in effect for a little over a week, but in that period, Evely

22、n received her liver transplant.”可知該政策只持續(xù)很短的時(shí)間，但是伊芙琳趕上了這次機(jī)會(huì)做移植手術(shù)，所以伊芙琳很幸運(yùn)。故選D項(xiàng)?！?題詳解】判斷推理題。最后一段作者認(rèn)為其他孩子應(yīng)該有和伊芙琳一樣的機(jī)會(huì)過健康快樂的生活，當(dāng)談到肝移植政策時(shí)，我們可以而且必須為兒童做得更好。然后根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段作者希望每個(gè)像伊芙琳病重的孩子都可以獲得治療的機(jī)會(huì)，所以推測(cè)作者希望病情最嚴(yán)重的孩子應(yīng)該首先接受肝臟移植。故選C項(xiàng)。COn a bright early summer morning, many young swimmers gather at a local swimming p

23、ool in the state of Maryland. They are members of a competitive summer swim team, and thats a regular part of their daily life.

This year, however, it seems that fewer wha

36、les are surviving the journey north. So far this year, a total of 30 dead gray whales have washed up on the West Coast: Eight in Washington, one in Oregon and 21 in California.

38、 whalesthree young whales and one adult male and planned to examine the remaining dead whales in the region in the next couple of days.Gray whales were once severely threatened by whalers. Only around 2,000 of them lived in the ocean in 1946, so an international agreement to stop gray whale hunting

39、was signed in order to help the population recover. Gray whales were removed from the endangered species list in 1994 when the population reached 23,000 individuals and TMMC predicts there are now around 26,000 gray whales in the Pacific Ocean, which is about the number before the whaling boom got u

40、p steam almost 200 years ago.Although the gray whale population has recovered to a certain degree, the number of dead whales washing up this year is alarming, Halaska said.

44、文章介紹了今年以來(lái)，在北上的旅程中灰鯨死亡數(shù)量越來(lái)越多，氣候變化和魚類數(shù)量下降可能是導(dǎo)致鯨魚健康狀況不佳的關(guān)鍵因素。【12題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段Only around 2,000 of them lived in the ocean in 1946.和Gray whales were removed from the endangered species list in 1994 when the population reached 23,000 individuals and TMMC predicts there are now around 26,000 gray whales

45、 in the Pacific Ocean.可知，1946年只有大約2000只灰鯨生活在海洋中，灰鯨在1994年種群數(shù)量達(dá)到23000頭，TMMC預(yù)測(cè)，現(xiàn)在太平洋中大約有26000頭灰鯨。因此，我們可以了解到第三段的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)是關(guān)于不同時(shí)期灰鯨數(shù)量的。故選D項(xiàng)?！?3題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段Although the gray whale population has recovered to a certain degree, the number of dead whales washing up this year is alarming, Halaska said.可知，Halask

46、a說(shuō)，雖然灰鯨數(shù)量已經(jīng)恢復(fù)到一定程度，但今年死亡鯨魚數(shù)量令人震驚。由此推知，Halaska對(duì)灰鯨種群的態(tài)度是擔(dān)憂的。故選A項(xiàng)?！?4題詳解】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段Halaska stressed that boaters and beachgoers on the West Coast should watch out for gray whales this time of year.可知，Halaska強(qiáng)調(diào)，每年這個(gè)時(shí)候，西海岸的劃船者和海灘游客都應(yīng)該注意灰鯨。由此推知，緊接著可能是幫助灰鯨的一些做法。因此，最后一段之后可能討論幫助灰鯨的做法。故選C項(xiàng)?！?5題詳解】主旨大意題。文章主要

47、講述了灰鯨死亡數(shù)量越來(lái)越多的現(xiàn)象且分析了相關(guān)原因。根據(jù)第四段Climate change and declining fish stocks are likely key factors in the whales poor health, she said.可知，她說(shuō)，氣候變化和魚類數(shù)量下降可能是導(dǎo)致鯨魚健康狀況不佳的關(guān)鍵因素。由此可知，B項(xiàng)“為什么許多灰鯨死在加利福尼亞海岸”符合文章主旨，可以做本文最佳標(biāo)題。故選B項(xiàng)。第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。The Greener Grass Syndrom

50、for the greener grass will exhaust our energy and attention and finally we can grow even angrier, or at least more dissatisfied._18_ We mostly prefer new over old because new things are fascinating and our curiosity keeps reminding us to explore the other side of the grass.These are the two factors

51、that cause us to feel dissatisfied with what we have and always thinking of finding the greener grass at the opposite side.If you have this syndrome, chances are you are missing out lots of things you currently have now.
