30、：本文为夹叙夹议文，题材为人生哲理。作者通过朋友的建议告诉读者，要勇敢地去尝试自己没有把握的事情，即便是失败也比从未尝试过要好很多。1解析：事实细节题。根据第二段第二句It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all.可知，作者过去没有实现目标通常都是因为害怕失败而没有去尝试，故选C项。答案：C2解析：猜测词义题。根据本段下文内容可知，我们都有比自己意识到的更大的潜在力量，甚至包括体力，由此可推断出此处指“要做略微超出你的能力的事情。”答案：B3解析：推理判断题。根据第五段第一句话“Boldn

31、ess.is not one that can be acquired overnight.”可知，勇敢无畏不能在一夜之间就被培养出来，D项意为“勇敢无畏可以逐渐得到”，符合该段段意。答案：D4解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，作者建议读者去尝试略微超出自己的能力的事情，这样就会发现自己的能力比想象中的还大。由此可判断出A项正确。答案：ABIt didnt take long for a lot of people who owned automobiles in the late 1800s to start hiring them out.

32、 taxis were oddlooking machines that had batteries weighing as much as 800 pounds, there were almost 100 of them in New York City by 1899.

39、York.DTo show the development of vehicles in the US.语篇解读：在纽约，最原始的出租车诞生于19世纪初，经过几百年的发展，出租车已成为人们不可或缺的代步工具。5解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句可知，由于出租车行业发展迅速，所以需要纽约市通过立法来进行管理，故选B项。答案：B6解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“These are the small metal plates youll see on top of the vehicle that certifies it is legally allowed to pick up passe

40、ngers.”可知，在每一辆出租车上安放一块小的金属板是为了证明该出租车是合法经营，可以载客。答案：C7解析：写作目的题。全文主要介绍了出租车行业在纽约市诞生、发展和走向繁荣的历史。答案：C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。Many children go to bed late.If your child seems particularly comfortable to keep late hours，the _1_may run deeper than your household habits.Mary Carskadon

49、的人。答案：B4解析：这里是指他们有自己偏好的“作息表”，由下一句sleep patterns和第三段的former schedule也可推知。答案：D5解析：这里需选一个跟late对立的词，故选C项。答案：C6解析：根据副词besides和前文中的partly可知，睡眠习惯部分是由基因决定，此外，环境跟年龄“也”会对睡眠习惯造成影响。答案：A7解析：后面列举了两个问题，故这里指“问”自己这些问题。答案：B8解析：根据and cheerful可知需选C项，表示“充满精力”和高兴的时候。答案：C9解析：根据下文中We want the boys可知，这里是指作者的“儿子们”。答案：D10解析：该
