“dying”可知该词意思是“令人害怕的”。虽然其他三个词均表示消极含义，但只有fearful表示“我”害怕“弟弟”离“我”而去。58. c推理判断题。从第四段最后两句as he spoke, his eyes filled with tears. id never seen him cry before.可知父亲感到十分伤心。59. c主旨大意题。第一段一开始便定义我的弟弟richard是一件特殊的圣诞礼物。虽然弟弟richard差点离我们而去，但后来还是得以平安回家，因此圣诞节并不悲惨。b和d选项外延过大，此段材料只是截取生活中的一个片段，并非整个和richard一起生活的全部。阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(六)】awhen doctors urge overweight kids to pick up more activities，reading probably isnt what they have in mind.yet a new study by fatness researchers at duke university finds that the simple act of readingdepending on the choice of materialcan cause weight loss in teenage girls.the studys experimental group included 31 fat girls aged 9 to 13，who took part in the healthy lifestyles program at duke childrens hospital.the girls read a novel called lake rescue，whose protagonist (主人公) is an overweight teenager who struggles with low selfesteem，feelings of loneliness and teasing because of her size.a group of 33 girls read a different book called charlotte in paris，which did not have an overweight character，and another group of 17 girls read neither book.at the end of the sixmonth experiment，all the girls who read books had lost weight，but the girls who read lake rescue lost more.they lowered their body mass index (bmi) by 0.71，compared with 0.33 in the charlotte group，an average 0.05 increase among the nonreaders.the idea behind the study，says dr sarah armstrong，director of healthy lifestyles，was to find a way to encourage the girls without adopting the restrictive and often authoritative voice of so many other nutrition and diet programs.lake rescue was the perfect instrument，says armstrong；it presents a likable character to whom the girls could relate and whom they could learn from.as the book progresses，its protagonist learns to make healthier lifestyle choices and finds an advisor to help keep her on track.armstrong says，“she learns that she can become healthier，and the i can do itfeeling resonates (产生共鸣) with the teenage girls.”26whats the main idea of the passage?athere are different ways to help overweight kids lose weight.blifestyle is important

the teenage girls”可知女孩们与之产生共鸣，故前句中的she指的是lake rescue中的主人公。29c推理判断题。根据本文中的实验可知，不同的阅读材料对减肥产生了不同效果，故c项正确。30c推理判断题。通过本文的主旨大意可以推断出本文属于健康方面的内容。【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(六)】bmotherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia (痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones (荷尔蒙) ，u.s.researchers reported on thursday.tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no baby，and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as alzheimers (早老性痴呆症)university of richmond psychology professor craig kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.“our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy (怀孕) are protecting the brain，including estrogen (雌激素)，which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects，” kinsley said.“its rats data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals，” he added in a telephone interview.“they go through pregnancy and hormonal changes.”kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from alzheimers and other forms of agerelated brain decline.“when people think about pregnancy，they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down，” said kinsley，who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the society of neuroscience in orlando，florida.“they do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain.if you look at female animals that have never gone through pregnancy，they act differently toward young.but if she goes through pregnancy，she will sacrifice her life for her infantthat is a great change in her behavior that shows in genetic alterations to the brain.”31how do scientists know “motherhood may make women smarter”？asome researchers have told them.bmany women say so.cthey know it by experimenting on rats.dthey know it through their own experience.32what does the phrase “litters of pups” mean in the second paragraph?ababy rats. banimals.cold rats. dgrownup rats.33what can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?aestrogen.bthe hormones of pregnancy.cmore exercise.dtaking care of children.34“its rats data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals.” what does the sentence suggest?athe experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.bthe experiments on the rats are very important for animals.cthe experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.dthe experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.35which title is the best for this passage?ado you want to be smarterbmotherhood makes women smartercmysterious hormonesdan important study31c细节理解题。根据“tests on rats show.”可知科学家是通过做老鼠实验得出这个结论的。32a词义猜测题。后面的对比who have no baby，实际上提供了一个相反的情况，所以我们可以推测“those who raise two or more litters of pups”中的“litters of pups”指的是“刚出生不久的小老鼠”。33b细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“.the hormones of pregnancy(怀孕) are protecting the brain.”可得出答案。34c句意理解题。科学家通过用老鼠做实验来说明人的问题。因为人和老鼠都属于哺乳动物，很多生理机能都相同。35b主旨大意题。短文第一句“motherhood may make women smarter.”是主题句，据此我们可以得出答案。维a 阅读理解(每题2分，满分8分)(2012大纲全国卷)last night i was driving from harrisburg to lewisburg，a distance of about eighty miles.it was late.several times i got stuck behind a slowmoving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left，and i became increasingly impatient. at one point along an open road，i came to a crossing with a traffic light.i was alone on the road by now，but as i drove near the light，it turned red and i made a stop.i looked left，right and behind me.nothing.not a car，no suggestion of car lamps，but there i sat，waiting for the light to change，the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.i started wondering why i refused to run the light.i was not afraid of being caught，because there was clearly no policeman around，and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.much later that night，the question of why id stopped for that light came back to me.i think i stopped because its part of a contract (契约) we all have with each other.its not only the law，but its an agreement we have，and we trust each other to honor it：we dont go through red lights.trust is our first inclination (倾向)doubting others does not seem to be natural to us.the whole construction of our society depends on mutual (相互) trust，not distrust.we do what we say well do；we show up when we say well show up；and we pay when we say well pay.we trust each other in these matters，and were angry or disappointed with the person or organization that breaks the trust we have in them.i was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.【语篇解读】 漆黑的夜晚，空旷的道路，作者独自等候在红灯前，只为自己内心的那份信任。 1why did the author get impatient while driving?ahe was lonely on the road.bhe was slowed down by a truck.che got tired of driving too long.dhe came across too many traffic lights.答案b考查细节理解。根据第一段后半部分的内容可知，作者因前方有一辆缓慢行驶的卡车而变得不耐烦。2what was the authors immediate action when the traffic light turned red?astopping still.bdriving through it.clooking around for other cars.dchecking out for traffic police.答案a考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“.it turned red and i made a stop”可知，作者的瞬时反应是立刻停车。3the event made the author strongly believe that _.atraffic rules may be unnecessarybdoubting others is human naturecpatience is important to driversda society needs mutual trust答案d考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段第三句的内容可知，这件事让作者深信社会需要相互信任。4why was the author proud of himself?ahe kept his promise.bhe held back his anger.che followed his inclination.dhe made a right decision.答案d考查推理判断。由第二、三段作者在无人的十字路口的左顾右盼及后来的所思所想，再结合最后一段可知，作者在无人的十字路口遵守了交通规则，没有闯红灯，这个决定是正确的，因此，作者为此深感自豪。 维a 阅读理解(每题2分，满分8分) (2012广东卷)“have a nice day！” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.when my friend maxie says “have a nice day” with a smile，i know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.i feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“have a nice day.next！” this version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.the words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure.they_are_spoken_at_me，not to me.obviously，the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.the expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.as soon as you hear it，you know the meeting is at an end.sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say.“oh，you just had a tooth out？im terribly sorry，but have a nice day.”the expression can be pleasant.if a stranger says “have a nice day” to you，you may find it heartwarming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.although the use of the expression is an insincere，meaningless social custom at times，there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.the salesgirl，the waitress，the teacher，and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.but in a strange and comfortable way，its nic
