from a latin word which means “to find.” garrett morgan, an african-american, was one such inventor. his first job was repairing machines in a factory. by accident, he had invented the hair straightener. he sold his products and then continued with his career as an inventor.every day, garrett morgan watched traffic become more dangerous. cars, bicycles and walkers all competed to cross the street. police officers made simple “stop / go” signals at busy crossroads, but cars, bicycles and walkers still rushed into the crossroads at different speeds and many crashed into each other. one day he saw a traffic accident between a car and a bicycle at a busy crossroads. he realized ,the problem with the traffic light, was its poor design: the traffic signal lacked a transition (过渡) between “stop” and “go.”morgan invented a new traffic signal that added a “caution (警告)” light that made traffic move more smoothly and safely. his traffic light stood on a t-shaped pole (杆) with arms that flashed a red light to stop traffic in all directions, allowing walkers to cross safely. after walkers crossed, traffic could only go in one direction.soon, cities everywhere wanted his traffic light. in 1923, a popular electric company paid morgan $40,000 to make and sell his invention. traffic lights today work in the same basic way.the traffic light is morgans most famous invention. in 1963, the united states government gave garrett morgan an award for his life-saving idea.5. what can we learn about garrett morgan from paragraph 1?a. he worked in a factory all his life.b. he led a hard life in his early years.c. he made money from hair straighteners.d. he dreamed of being an inventor when he was a child.6. what made morgan invent the traffic light?a. a traffic accident.b. a car

officers.c. was special because it had a “caution” light.d. was very different from the ones we use today.【答案】5. c 6. a 7. c【解析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了交通灯的发明人garrett morgan以及他是如何发明的交通灯的。【5题详解】推理判断题。由第一段“by accident, he had invented the hair straightener. he sold his products and then continued with his career as an inventor”可知，偶然间，他发明了直发器。他卖掉了自己的产品，然后继续他的发明家生涯。所以从第一段我们可以了解到garrett morgan靠直发器赚了钱。故选c项。【6题详解】推理判断题。由第二段“one day he saw a traffic accident between a car and a bicycle at a busy crossroads. he realized ,the problem with the traffic light, was its poor design: the traffic signal lacked a transition (过渡) between “stop” and “go.”可知，一天，他在一个繁忙的十字路口看到一辆汽车和一辆自行车之间发生了交通事故。他意识到，红绿灯的问题在于它的设计不好：交通信号灯在“停”和“走”之间缺少一个过渡灯。所以是交通事故让garrett morgan发明了交通灯。故选a项。【7题详解】细节理解题。由第三段“morgan invented a new traffic signal that added a “caution (警告)” light that made traffic move more smoothly and safely ”可知，garrett morgan发明了一种新的交通信号灯，它增加了一个“警告”灯，使交通更加顺畅和安全。所以根据短文，garrett morgan的红绿灯特别是因为它有一个“警告”灯。故选c项。cliving on mountainous la gomera, one of spains canary islands off west africa, juan cabello takes pride in not using a mobile phone or the internet to communicate. like his father and grandfather, he uses silbo gomero, a language that is whistled (吹口哨), not spoken, and that can be heard more than two miles away.“i use it for everything: to talk to my wife, to tell my kids something, to find a friend if we get lost in a crowd,” cabello says. “i also make a living from silbo, performing daily exhibitions at a restaurant.”people throughout la gomera are known to have used silbo in the past as a way of communicating over long distances. a strong whistle saved farmers from walking over the hills to give messages or news to neighbors. then came the phone. nowadays, its hard to know how many people still use silbo. in 1999, it was introduced as a compulsory subject (必修学科) in la gomeras primary schools, in an effort to prevent the language from going silent. now 3,000 students are studying it, but only a few people are believed to be able to communicate fully in the whistling language.“silbo is said to be the most important cultural heritage (遗产) we have,” said moises plasencia, the director of the canary islands governments historical heritage department.in fact, little is known about silbos origins. silbo-like whistling has been found in parts of greece, turkey, china and mexico, but none is as developed as silbo gomero. one study is looking for signs of silbo in venezuela, cuba and texas, all places to which gomerans have gone in the past during hard economic times.“silbo has many historical and linguistic (语言学上的) values,” plasencia said. and, as cabello explains, “its good for just about anything except for romance: everyone on the island would hear what youre saying!”8. juan cabello uses silbo gomero _.a. in his daily life.b. to learn computers.c just to make a living.d. only when eating at restaurants.9. what can we learn about silbo gomero?a. it first started in greece.b. it is in danger of dying out.c it is helpful in keeping secrets.d. it is the oldest way of communicating.10. plasencia thinks its very important to _.a. know the origins of silbo gomero.b. find the values of silbo gomero.c. have more cultural heritages.d. protect silbo gomero.11. what is mainly described in the text?a. a schools subject.b. a famous performer.c. an unusual language.d. a mountainous island.【答案】8. a 9. b 10. d 11. c【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了silbo gomero-一种口哨语。【8题详解】推理判断题。由第二段“i use it for everything: to talk to my wife, to tell my kids something, to find a friend if we get lost in a crowd,”可知，我用它做任何事情: 和我的妻子说话，告诉我的孩子们一些事情，在人群中，找一个朋友。所以juan cabello在日常生活中使用silbo gomero。故选a项。【9题详解】推理判断题。由第三段“now 3,000 students are studying it, but only a few people are believed to be able to communicate fully in the whistling language.”可知，现在有3000名学生在学习这种语言，但据认为只有少数人能够完全用这种吹口哨的语言交流。所以判断出，silbo gomero有灭绝的危险。故选b项。【10题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第三段“silbo is said to be the most important cultural heritage (遗产) we have,” said moises plasencia, the director of the canary islands governments historical heritage department. ”可知，加那利群岛政府历史遗产部门负责人莫伊斯普拉森西亚说：“锡尔博据说是我们拥有的最重要的文化遗产。所以通过伊斯普拉森西亚的话以及他的身份可以判断出，伊斯普拉森西亚认为保护silbo gomero是非常重要的。故选d项。【11题详解】主旨大意题。由第一段“like his father and grandfather, he uses silbo gomero, a language that is whistled (吹口哨), not spoken, and that can be heard more than two miles away.”可知，像他的父亲和祖父一样，他使用的是silbo gomero，一种口哨语，而不是口头语，而且在两英里以外都能听到。以及其他段落都在围绕着silbo gomero而展开。所以 短文主要描述了一种不寻常的语言。故选c项。【点睛】根据文章中人物所说的话的内容是解决推理判断题的重要方法，因为通过所说的内容，我们可以判断出，作者所要想表达的观点是积极的还是消极的，是中立的还是支持或者否定某一方，对事情是关心的还是冷漠8的。是在提出建议还是在提出具体的解决措施。由倒数第三段“silbo is said to be the most important cultural heritage (遗产) we have,” said moises plasencia, the director of the canary islands governments historical heritage department. ”可知，加那利群岛政府历史遗产部门负责人莫伊斯普拉森西亚说：“锡尔博据说是我们拥有的最重要的文化遗产。所以通过伊斯普拉森西亚的话以及他的身份可以判断出，伊斯普拉森西亚认为保护silbo gomero是非常重要的。故小题3选d项dthe internet is a growing new world that has been developing ever since it was created many years ago. the only reason internet sales are not taxed (征税) is because we did not know the internet would be used to sell products when it was created. internet sales are no different than going into the store to buy the exact same product except for the fact that internet sales are not taxed.when buying online, people cannot see and touch the product the same way they could in a store. to fix this, customers are going into the store to see the product. then if they like the product, they buy it online to save money on the sales tax. this is a form of tax evasion (逃税) if you ask me!everyone has to pay the tax in the store so they should have to pay taxes online as well. also, the added money brought in through internet taxing could help the government to fund (为拨款) certain policies and other things that they could not do without the added funds. this could go toward the countrys schools or other things necessary for society to function well. these funds could be extremely beneficial because of the recession (经济衰退) that the country is in at this point. internet taxing is a way to increase those funds and in turn improve the quality of life for all who live in that country.in conclusion, there are many more positives than negatives in the argument over taxing internet sales. i do understand that i may have to pay more if i want to buy something online, but the funds stay within my society and help my country. the added cost may hurt me at first but in the end, the funds will help me and others in our country.12. the text mainly discusses _.a. whether it is a good way to buy things online.b. whether internet sales should be taxed.c. why people love to buy things online.d. why internet sales are not taxed.13. internet sales are not taxed because _.a selling online was unexpected.b. they are different from store sales.c. people dont know how to tax them.d. many people are against taxing them.14. what can we learn from paragraph 2?a. online shoppers find it difficult to buy satisfactory goods.b. customers get better products at a lower price online.c. problems related to online shopping are hard to fix.d. online shoppers probably try to avoid paying tax.15. according to the author, taxing internet sales _.a. is good for all people.b. can help the country out of the recession.c. can help improve the quality of products.d. is beneficial to the development of internet.【答案】12. b 13. a 14. d 15. a【解析】这是一篇议论文。短文主要讨论了网络销售是否应该征税。【12题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是最后一段“in conclusion, there are many more positives than negatives in the argument over taxing internet sales ”可知，总之，在对互联网销售征税的争论中，利大于弊。所以本段是对全文观点的总结，故判断出短文主要讨论了网络销售是否应该征税。故选b项。【13题详解】细节理解题。由第一段“the only reason internet sales are not taxed (征税) is because we did not know the internet would be used to sell products when it was created”可知，网络销售不征税的唯一原因是因为当互联网被创建时，我们不知道互联网将用于销售产品。故选a项。【14题详解】细节理解题。由第二段“then if they like the product, they buy it online to save money on the sales tax. this is a form of tax evasion (逃税) if you ask me!”可知，如果他们喜欢这个产品，他们会在网上购买，以节省销售税。这是逃税的一种形式。故选d项。【15题详解】推理判断题。由倒数第二段以及最后一段“internet taxing is a way to increase those funds and in turn improve the quality of life for all who live in that country. but in the end, the funds will help me and others in our country”可知，对互联网征税是增加这些资金的一种方式，从而改善所有生活在那个国家的人的生活质量，但最终，这些资金将帮助我和我们国家的其他人。所以根据作者所说，对网上销售征税对所有人都好。故选a项。第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。what are the advantages and
