Locals crossexamined, and begged Lin, the owner of the store, but in vain. Running a small, local, familyowned hardware business was no longer profitmaking. The towns affection for Parks Hardware was just not enough to allow it to compete against the giant warehouse stores.I was one member of the excited masses that began to walk through Parks as, day by day, the lettering on the front window changed from “20% OFF EVERYTHING” to “30%”， “40%”， and on and on, until the only things left were the light sockets(插座) and doorknobs.Compared with giant warehouses, a hardware store is special. I recall the time I was exploring in one giant warehouse for a wireless doorbell that Parks didnt carry. I found the thing, but didnt understand the following note on the package: “Red light indicates condition of the battery.” “Excuse me，” I said to a clerk, holding the item out, “I cant seem to find the red light.” The man examined it, and said, “Neither can I” I contrasted this experience with one I routinely had at Parks. “Lin，” Id beg. “Can youpleaseI dont knowdo you think？”And quicker than one could say, “little red light，” Lin would spring into action and together wed sit down to find the solution.I could buy a single screw(螺丝钉) at Parks. At a warehouse I have no choice but to buy a box of a hundred screws. But I dont want a box of a hundred screws when all I need is one. I just want to know the location of the little red light, and now that Parks is gone, I realize that I never will.语篇导读本文为记叙文，讲述了一家五金店的倒闭和人们对它表示怀念的一些情况。5Why did Parks decide to stop its business?AThe owner invested in other business.BThe owner couldnt make enough money.CIts location was not convenient for shopping.DIt couldnt win enough affection from the locals.解析 B细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知，经营这样的五金店已经不能挣钱了，镇上的人们对这家五金店的喜爱并不能使它赢得与大型仓储式商店的竞争，故选B项。6What did Parks do before closing?AIt had a closing down sale. BIt struggled for its reorganization.CIt distributed its goods to regulars.DIt looked for a new owner.7What does the writers experience in Paragraph 3 indicate?AThe benefit of having more choices.BThe pressure of competition for Parks.CThe good service of Parks.DThe responsible working attitude of large stores.解析 C推理判断题。根据第三段中的The man examined it, and said, “Neither can I”以及Lin would spring into action and together wed sit down to find the solution可知，作者提及自己购买无线门铃的经历是为了说明这家大型商店和帕克的五金店在服务质量方面存在的差别，借以突出帕克的五金店良好的服务，故选C项。8Whats the writers tone in writing his passage?AHumorous. BSupportive.CCritical. DRegretful.CA European team proposed a new explanation for why children growing up on farms are far better protected against asthma (哮喘) and allergies. The protective effect may be created by a particular protein called A20, which the body produces upon contacting with farm dust, according to the team.The findings may represent a major step forward toward the development of an asthma vaccine. For the study, the researchers first exposed mice to farm dust extract, a bacterial component called endotoxin (内毒素), every other day for two weeks. They then presented these mice with allergydriving house dust mites (螨), which often cause asthma in people, finding that mice that had been regularly exposed to endotoxin did not develop allergic features, while control mice did.These findings were then tested in patients. The results showed that people suffering from asthma and allergies have a deficiency in the protective protein A20, explaining why they react to allergies so severely. “Discovering how farm dust provides this type of protection has certainly put us on the right track toward developing an asthma vaccine and new allergy therapies，”Hammad said. “However,_several_years_of_research_are_required_still_before_they_will_be_available_to_patients.”Some experts cautioned that the newly uncovered mechanism does not entirely explain the protective effect of farm life. For example, it is commonly known that drinking raw cows milk can provide protection against allergies, but that effect is unlikely to involve the lung epithelium (上皮细胞)篇章导读：本文是一篇科技说明文。详细介绍了一个欧洲团队的研究发现：在农场长大的孩子因为接触过尘螨而更不易患上哮喘或者过敏症。1From the first paragraph we can learn that_.Achildren growing up on farms are affected by A20Bthe bodies of children growing up on farms produces A20Cchildren growing up on farms seldom get asthma and allergiesDthe European team presented an idea for children growing up on farms答案：C细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“A European team proposed a new explanation for why children growing up on farms are far better protected against asthma and allergies.”可知，在农场长大的孩子不易患上哮喘或者过敏症。故选C项。2What did the researchers do for the study?AThey presented mice with some dust.BThey tested mice in an allergydriving house.CThey offered mice a bacterial component every other day.DThey exposed mice to endotoxin every two days for two weeks.3Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence above?ASeveral years of research is available to patients.BWhat patients require is several years of research.CIt is important that research should be done for patients.DSeveral years of research is needed before treatment for patients.答案：D句意理解题。画线句句意为：然而，在此疫苗能够在病人身上使用之前，还需要好几年的实验研究。这与D项“在(用于)治疗病人之前，还需要好几年的研究”意思相近。故选D项。4This text is most probably taken from_.Aa textbook Ba science magazineCa doctors notebook Dan advertisement答案：B推理判断题。根据首段提出的新发现，以及文章中的关键词“study, research”以及“findings”可知，本文是介绍科学研究发现的文章，可能是选自科学杂志。故选B项。DWe take smiles for granted， but the evolution of these and other facial expressions is a big deal for animals, including humans. Smiles and other expressions allow us to communicate our emotional states to others. Among primates (灵长目动物), because social living became more and more important, the ability to quickly indicate fear, excitement, lack of threat and more helped our ancestors survive in the wild.Humans, chimpanzees and other great apes even share expressions and other physical indicators of pride, which appears to be a more abstract emotion. Azim Shariff, a researcher at the University of Oregon, studied facial expressions and found that chimps reach out their chests to show others that they are ready to take on challenges. “We seem to share a number of expressions, including pride, with chimpanzees and other apes，” says Shariff.Since cats are mammals too, we have many things in common with them. Smiling, however, is not one of them. When a cat shows its teeth in a way that might look like its grinning, it is probably grimacing (做怪相), or is angry and ready to use those teeth to bite into someone.According to the Arizona Humane Society, when a cat is happy, it may exhibit these facial features：Relaxed cheeks that are not pulled inOpen ears that are facing forwardClosed, relaxed mouthWide open eyes that are focused on youWhiskers (须) that are pointed outward and not spread apart muchHumans tend to rely a lot on facial expressions, but cats use their bodies to communicate how they feel. A happy cat will tend to hold its head and tail high, with its tail raised upward and fur lying flat on the body.篇章导读：本文是一篇科普说明文。面部表情的进化对动物而言是一件大事。人类、黑猩猩和其他类人猿使用的表情相同，同为哺乳动物的猫却不用露齿笑来展示自己的高兴。5What can we learn from the second paragraph?AAzim Shariff founded a shelter for chimps.BHappiness appears to be a more abstract emotion.CAzim Shariff is a researcher studying facial expressions.DAll animals share expressions and other physical indicators of pride.答案：C细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，Azim Shariff从事的是面部表情方面的研究。6When a cat is happy, you can see that_.Aits small eyes are fixed on itselfBits mouth is closed and relaxedCits ears are spread apart muchDits cheeks are pulled in7It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.Aa happy cat holds its head and tail lower than usualBhumans often show their facial expressions to strangersChumans prefer to use their bodies rather than facial expressionsDthe way cats show their feelings differs greatly from that of humans答案：D推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句中的转折语意可推知，猫表达感受的方式与人类的方式差别很大。第二节完形填空阅读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从120题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。It is widely believed that inner beauty is the most impressive in the world.On the outskirts of a town in England lies a nice cottage with a large garden where there lives an old and aged man.
