my favorite one because its so simple.And I liked the stories behind them,which made me forget all other things.McDonalds,Apple,Mercedes-Benz and Adidas own great logos as well,and they are among my favorites.NikeIn the Greek myth,Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers.This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess.Nikes logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35,and was registered as a trademark(商标) in 1995.McDonaldsThe logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch-shaped signs on the side of the companys then walk-up hamburger stand.Later on,the two golden arches were combined together to form the M.The McDonalds name was added to the logo in 1968.AppleThere are different stories behind Apples logo.Apples first logo,designed in 1976 by Ron Wayne,described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree.This logo didnt stay long and was almost immediately replaced by graphic designer Rob Janoffs “rainbow Apple”,a rainbow-colored silhouette of an apple with a bite taken out of it.And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998.It has not been changed so far.Mercedes-BenzThe Mercedes-Benz logo,which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler and was first used in 1909,consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its aim for motorization:on land,water and in the air.The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach.AdidasThe Adidas logo,which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler,represents mountains,pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and the goals that can be achieved.The logo was used for the first time in 1967.【语篇导读】本文介绍了几个著名的商标背后的故事,包括发展的过程以及每个商标所代表的含义。21.What does Nikes logo stand for?A.The wing of the Greek goddess.B.The source of inspiration for soldiers.C.The statue of the Greek goddess.D.The goddess of victory.答案:A解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess”可知,这个商标代表的是希腊女神Nike雕像上的翅膀,故A项正确。22.We can learn that Apples present logo is .A.the religious story of Adam and EveB.a bitten apple with only one colorC.Newtons sitting under an apple treeD.the rainbow-colored bitten apple答案:B解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998.It has not been changed so far”可知,现在的苹果商标是一个只有一种颜色的被咬掉一块的苹果。故B项正确。23.Which of the following describes the right order of the birth of the great logos?A.Mercedes-BenzMcDonaldsNikeAppleB.NikeMcDonaldsAppleMercedes-BenzC.McDonaldsAppleNikeMercedes-BenzD.NikeMercedes-BenzMcDonaldsApple答案:A解析细节理解题。根据第五段的第一句可推知,梅赛德斯奔驰商标的诞生时间在1909年之前;根据第三段第一句可知麦当劳商标被设计出来的时间是在1962年;根据第二段最后一句可知耐克商标被设计出来的时间是1971年;根据第四段第二句可知苹果商标首次被设计出来的时间是1976年。由此可知正确顺序是A项。BMany

.A.attract public visitsB.keep Roald Dahls worksC.show Roald Dahls awardsD.give lessons about writing答案:B解析细节理解题。根据对The Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre介绍的第一句可知,Felicity

early from Kuwait and visiting her unannounced at Spring Valley High School in South Carolina.After serving in Kuwait for nine months,Melendez returned home a week earlier than his daughter expected.He held balloons and flowers in a classroom as he sat at a students desk to blend(掺和) in with the crowd.“It came to my mind like How is she going to react?,” he recalled the heartwarming moment.“Is she going to be happy and run to me and hug me,or cry?That was all going on through my mind.”As Solymar entered the classroom as usual,she was soon overcome with emotion,immediately bursting into tears and covering her mouth.She didnt talk.She was just crying.She thought it was a dream.Melendez was a single parent so when he was deployed(调动),he got his sister to live with his daughter.When he was coming back and talking to his sister,both of them came to the conclusion that they should do something special for his daughter.Melendez and his sister got in touch with the school,and they planned this whole being-in-the-classroom thing,and it turned out perfect.The two are very much looking forward to some good daddy-daughter time now that hes home.“It means everything,” Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter in this way.“After all the sacrifices(牺牲) shes made,she deserves all the special arrangements and special occasions and celebrations.Ill do anything for my daughter.I believe Im doing good parenting.”【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了在姐姐和女儿学校的帮助下,一位在科威特工作的父亲提前回家在女儿的教室为她准备了一个惊喜的故事。28.How did Solymar feel at first when entering the classroom?A.She was eager to hug her father.B.She felt everything was as usual.C.She got excited at seeing her father.D.She was surprised by what she saw.答案:B解析细节理解题。根据第一段“It was a normal school day for senior Solymar Solis.”中的“a normal school day”和第三段中的“As Solymar entered the classroom as usual.”可知,Solymar那天刚进入教室时感觉到一切如往常一样,故选项B正确。29.What was Melendezs attitude to the surprise?A.Content.B.Astonished.C.Touched.D.Upset.答案:A解析推理判断题。根据第四段末句中的“.and it turned out perfect”和第五段中的“.she deserves all the special arrangements.Im doing good parenting”可以推断出,这位父亲对这次为女儿准备的惊喜是非常满意的(content)。所以选项A正确。30.Why did Melendez plan the surprise for Solymar?A.To get involved in her school life.B.To show his concern for her in a special way.C.To build a strong emotional bond with her.D.To make up for what she lost in her growth.答案:D解析推理判断题。根据第四段的描述可知,Solymar的父亲在外工作,把她托付给他的姐姐照顾,这次提前回来并在他姐姐和学校的帮助下安排了这次特别的见面。同时结合第五段父亲的话可以看出,他之所以这样做就是为了弥补(make up for)Solymar在成长过程中缺失的父爱。所以选项D正确。31.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Fathers Selfless Love for His DaughterB.Girl Expecting the Returning of Her DadC.Girl Surprised at School by Her Dads ReturnD.Father and Daughters Expected Reunion答案:C解析主旨大意题。根据全文的内容,尤其是首段第一句中的“until an unexpected visitor arrived”以及末段中的“Melendez said of being able to surprise his daughter in this way.”可知,父亲为了给女儿一个惊喜,所以提前回家,并在女儿所在的教室精心准备了这次见面。所以选项C更加直接,并具有概括性,因此适合作标题。DDo you suppose Darwin,one of the greatest scientists of all time,really did fools experiments?Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?Sometimes,people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法) to a problem.Sometimes,they really do know an answer or a solution,but without thinking they are important.Charles Darwin didnt settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something.And,he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are exactly the same size and shape.If you drop them at the same time in the same place,they will fall in the same way.Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的) little ball and let it drop along with the other sheet.What happens?You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldnt be worth anything.But this simple experiment is important.It explains part of our present-day understanding of some physics ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton.And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.Science sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them.Even the simplest idea,which we might think is foolish,can shake the foundations of science.32.The passage tells us that Charles Darwin .A.was a great English scientistB.always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficultC.thought even the simplest thing was importantD.didnt get well with others答案:C解析推理判断题。短文并没有强调说Charles Darwin是一名伟大的科学家,可排除A项;由第三段Darwin的许多实验都看似很简单,可把B项排除;文中没有论述Darwin与人相处的事情,可排除D项。由第三段中的“he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.”可推出答案:为C项。33.The underlined phrase “set aside” most probably means “”.A.throw awayB.store up C.put to useD.realize答案:A解析词义猜测题。由上文可知作者认为做这个简单实验是重要的,它解释了目前人们对于物理方面的理解。因此这些理解当然是推翻了一些希腊物理学的观点。由此可推知set aside与throw away同义。34.The author of the passage tries to .A.convince us that Charles Darwin,Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists in the world B.draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple thingsC.prove that two sheets of paper,with the same size and shape,will fall at the same speed D.draw our attention to everyday happenings around us答案:D解析主旨大意题。短文的最后一段点明最简单的事情都可能摇动科学的根基,意在告诉读者要留意身边的每一件事,哪怕它非常简单。35.Which one of the following is true?A.Darwin really did fools experiments.B.According to some people Darwin did foolish experiments.C.It is believed by all people that things could be important though they seemed to be simple.D.Galileo and Newton worked out ancient Greek physics.答案:B解析细节理解题。短文第一段第二句“Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that othe
