where am i？” she asked. “you just destroyed the schools skeleton, mum，” explained jessica. “i brought it home to help me with my health project. i meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as i mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and dad.” jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “theyre both crazy，” she thought.本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个幽默故事。杰西卡问妈妈“衣橱里放骨骼”是什么意思，妈妈解释说那是不为人知的秘密，并以杰西卡爸爸的祖先做例子，引起了杰西卡爸爸的恼火。饭后，杰西卡爸爸依然生气，杰西卡妈妈熨完衣服后把衣服放到衣橱里，结果发现了衣橱里的骨骼而吓昏过去。原来杰西卡为了完成学校的健康计划，把骨骼带回了家并放在了衣橱里。1according to jessicas mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means _.aa family honor ba family secretca family story da family treasure答案：b。细节理解题。由第一段的“its something that you would rather not have anyone else know about”可知，b项正确。2what can we learn about some australians ancestors from paragraph 2?athey were brought to australia as prisoners.bthey were the earliest people living in australia.cthey were involved in some crimes in australia.dthey were not regarded as criminals in their days.答案：a。推理判断题。根据第二段的“but people these days say that you are not a real australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners”可推断a项正确，即一些澳大利亚人的祖先是被作为犯人带到澳大利亚。3jessicas mother fell down into a faint because she was _.aknocked bfrightenedcinjured dsurprised答案：b。推理判断题。杰西卡的妈妈是看到了衣橱里的骨骼而晕倒的，我们推断应该是吓倒的。4why did jessica bring a skeleton home?ashe was curious about it.bshe planned to keep it for fun.cshe needed it for her school task.dshe intended to scare her parents.答案：c。细节理解题。由最后一段的“you just destroyed the schools skeleton.i brought it home to help me with my health project”可知答案c正确。5jessicas parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because _.athey were crazybthey were overexcitedcthey realized their misunderstandingdthey both thought they had won the quarrel答案：c。推理判断题。通读全文可知，杰西卡的父母误解了杰西卡的意思。体育类【典例探究】（2010福建卷d）columbus college, 241 queen elizabeth drive, kowloon citymemoto: all stallfrom: jalie mok, secretary; sports development committeedate: may 20, 2010a week ago, “sports for life” programme was sent to the parents, requiring them to select a sport they wanted their child to play. since then, our staff have received lots of calls from parents asking for more information about it. here is a memo(备忘录)for your reference when you answer the phones.sports 1：basketballwe expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. therefore, students should be advised to sign up as soon as possible. students will take a private bus to and from kwun tong sports park. to cover the cost of hiring a bus, each student will have to pay $10 each time. there will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.sports 2: gymwe will be using st. peters memorial park. there are two reasons for choosing this park. first, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00pm. second, it has lots of trees with plenty of shade. students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. three activities, shipping , jogging , outdoor aerobics(有氧运动), all of which are free of charge, will be arranged. and there will be a teacher on duty for each of the activities.sprots3: hikinghiking (远足)will take place at kowloon peak. the activity will start at 2:30 pm and finish 90 minutes later. three teachers will accompany the students, and a hiking instructor will accompany each group of 15 hikers. each instructor will cost $75/hr. students are advised to bring plenty of water and sunscreen.sports 4；swimmingthe kowloon city aquatic centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. four teachers will go to the pool and conduct the goings-on from the poolside. we will only be able to reserve the pool for one hour (i.e. 2:45pm to 3:45 pm).only students skilful at swimming can take up this activity. the pool will have two life guards present. girls must wear a swimming suit. the cost is $10 per visit.68. which of the following is true according to the passage?

people who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. a recent research has found a new recipe of success. according to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. however, it wasnt all sweetness and light. there was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. one reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. for example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.in homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. they are learning how to talk each others language. it is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog” ，and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”whats interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. they can learn to read each others body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. once familiar with each others presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. they can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.the significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond petsto people who dont get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. if cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.有人一直担心如果在家里同时养猫和狗，它们会相处得不好。可是研究发现猫和狗是可以和谐相处的。既然猫狗都能和谐相处，人和人以及世界大国之间就更容易做到这一点了。6the underlined word “swimmingly” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.a. early b. sweetlyc. quickly d. smoothly答案：b。词义猜测题。文章第一段第一句话“can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home？”意为“猫和狗在一个家里能和谐相处吗？”有人担心它们会打架，但是研究发现，如果猫被领养在先，而且它们都在很小的时候就认识的话，它们很可能会相处得很和谐。sweetly“甜美地”；smoothly“顺利地”。所以swimmingly在此意为sweetly。另外第二段第一句话：“however, it wasnt all sweetness and light.”中也有暗示。7some cats and dogs may fight when_.a. they are cold to each otherb. they look away from each otherc. they misunderstand each others signalsd. they are introduced at an earl
