hhopesfortheirchildren及最后的Expertsadvise可知，本文主要是关于家长如何帮助孩子成长，让孩子变得成熟的建议。答案：D.解析：细节理解题o根据第一段中的Whatcanparentsdotohelptheirkidsgrowuptoleadhappylives可知，这篇文章是写给父母的。答案：B.解析：细节理解题。根据AprilCutler所在的第3条的标题“PraisingIheirefforts”以及本段的内容可以看出，表扬孩子所付出的努力有助于他们取得更大的进步。答案：A.解析：细节理解题。根据第4条的最后一句helpskidslearnfromtheirmistakes可以得出答案。答案：CB篇语篇解读：奶奶的爱,在那冒着热气的浓茶里，在她做针线活时用的那枚亮闪闪的顶针里…….解析：写作意图题。作者在文章中写满了对奶奶浓浓的爱，对奶奶深深的思念，从文章的内容可知本题应该选A项。答案：A.作者小候非常喜欢在爷爷奶奶家里度过炎热的夏天是因为那里的人、那里的事物对在城市里生活的她来说都很新鲜，因此选B项。答案：B.解析:推理判断题。从文章第三段中的HowhappyIwastofindsomethingthathadbeenapartofher及文章最后一段的Whatawonderfulbirthdaythatwas可知应选D项。答案：D.解析：推理判断题。一枚顶针引发了作者对奶奶的无限思念，可见它对作者来说很珍贵。答案：CC篇语篇解读:拥有三个孩子，作者总是充满激情地做一个好母亲。在文中作者阐述了如何做•个有爱心的人，如何过真正的生活。她表明了自己的观点"（人生）重要的是过程，而不是结果.解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的内容可列，作者是个好母亲，也是个成功的母亲。'~选项A的陈述符合此意。答案：A~'1.解析：细节理解题。根据第五段的内容可知，作者学会了生活是因为多年前的一件不幸的事改变了她的生活方式。答案：C-56.解析：句意理解题。结合第五段的前两句话可知，人们很容易虚度时光，生存•比生活更容易。换言之，活着比过真正的生活更容易。答案：A.解析：推理判断题。根据文章第三段的前两句"...Getalife...notadesireBofthenextpromotion,thebiggerpaycheck.可推测作者的工作态度是：不.要渴望得到提升，不要渴望涨工资。D项意为“不要让工作影响你真正的生活”，与作者的观点一致。答案：DD篇语篇解读:这是一篇生活类说明文。闰年是怎么回事？如果你出生在2月29日，那理论上可得等四年才能过一次生日。.解析：归纳题。根据第一、二段内容我们可以得出结论：平年的二月有28天，只有闰年的二月才有29天，2月29日每四年出现一次。答案：B.解析：词义猜测题。根据上下文语境推测，popthequestion与短文中的proposemarriage同义，即“求爱”的意思、。答案：A60解析：段落主旨题。过去曾禁止女性向爱人表白爱情，女性激进分子积极争取后，苏格兰在1288年通过了一个文宪，允许女性在闰年向未婚男子求爱，男性不得拒绝，否则会受到惩罚。由此可知“闰年是女士们作出选择的一年”最能表达此段的意义。答案：C阅读理解第二节：61-65：BFCAE试题分析：【小题61］这段是对全球气温变暖进行解释。选B【小题62］从这段的内容和第一句话Afewweeksagoagroupofscientistsproducedareportaboutglobalwarmingandthenaturalworld.可知是关于一个令人吃惊的报告。选F。【小题63】从这段的内容可知是对可怕结果的解决办法。选C【小题64］从这段的第一句话：Thescientistsstudiedsomeregionsoftheworldwithaveryrichbiology.可知是从生物角度的仔细分析。选A【小题65］这段里面出现了很多数据，都是发现的让人震惊的事情。选E考点：考查信息匹配
