.A.easytobeoppressedanddefeatedB.hardtogetalongwithC.withapositiveattitudetowardslifeD.withviolentconfrontation【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了作者母亲对于作者的人生态度的影响。（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“Iknowyouhatetoadmitit,butIgetmuchofmydeterminedandstrong-willednaturefromyou.”我知道你不愿意承认这一点，但我从你身上学到了很多我的坚强意志；以及倒数第二段中的“WhenI'maskedwhyIamthewayIam,whyIrefusetoallowotherstohurtmewiththeirwordsoractionsandwhyIthinkandspeakaboutthingsopenlyandwithoutfear.I'lltellthemit'sbecauseofyou.”当我被问及为什么我是现在的我，为什么我拒绝让别人用他们的言语或行动伤害我，为什么我公开地、毫无畏惧地思考和谈论事情。我会告诉他们是因为你。可推知在这封信中，Malahni主要表达了她对母亲的爱。故选B。（2）考查细节理解。根据第五段中的“It'sthecharactertraitsthatsealthedeal.Drywit,intelligence,andyes,maybealittlebitofattitude-thesearethethingsIamgratefulIhavereceivedfromyou.There'snothingwrongwithhavingattitude.”是性格特征让他们达成了共识。机智、智慧，是的，也许还有一点态度——这些是我从你那里得到的东西，我很感激。态度并没有错。可知人们认出Malahni是Melissa的女儿主要是因为她的性格特点。故选C。（3）考查词义猜测。根据第四段中的“parentsfeelmuchhurtwhentheirchildtalksbackor”可知父母在他们的孩子顶嘴或反抗他们时感到很受伤，故划线单词意思为“反抗；拒绝服从”故选A。（4）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“ButyoushouldalsomarvelatthefactthatI'vemadeitthisfar,thatI'mhealthyandhappy.”但你也应该惊讶于我已经走了这么远，我很健康，很快乐。以及下文Malahni说明自己如何用自己的态度来使自己免于精神上的压迫和失败，可推知Malahni是一个对生活有积极态度的女人。故选C。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。2．阅读理解

“以及第四段中的"Oneeasywaytostartaconversationwithsomeone…"可知，本文讲述如何人交朋友，最快捷的方式是微笑，以赞美的方式开始话题，还要投其所好，这样才能交到更多的朋友，故选A。（2）考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"…dothesamekindsofthingstheydo"及最后一段中的"…dosimilarthings"可知，志趣相投的人容易成为朋友，故选B。（3）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的”Oneeasywaytostartaconversationwithsomeoneistosaysomethingniceabouthim.Thinkabouthowgreatyoufeelwhensomeonesayssomethingnicetoyou.

Youprobablyknowthebasicsofhowcomparatives(比较级)andsuperlatives(最高级)workintheEnglishlanguage.Whencomparingsomething,youoftenaddan"-er"totheendofthecomparativeadjective.Thegeneralruleisthatone-syllable(音节)wordsgetthesuffix(后缀),andpolysyllabicwordsget"more"or"most."Thatis,unlessthetwo-syllablewordendsina"y";ifthat'sthecase,youwilladdthesuffixesandchangethe"y"toan"i".

Thecomparativesandsuperlativesofadjectives.【答案】（1）C（2）C（3）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英语形容词比较级和最高级中，单词fun的比较级和最高级变化规则而展开。告诉了我们单词fun词性的历史演变，英语充满了不确定的语法规则;没有必要仅仅因为我们过去不像现在这样使用一个词就认为它违反了语言的一般规则。（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Thegeneralruleisthatone-syllablewordsgetthesuffix,andpolysyllabicwordsget'more'or'most.'"一般规则是单音节单词词尾添加后缀，多音节单词则需要添加"more"或"most"。可知在英语比较级和最高级中，在多音节形容词前加"more"或"most"。故选C。（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的”Untiltheearly19thcentury,itwasmostlyjustanoun,anditgaineditsmeaningas"amusement"inthe18thcentury.Butasearlyasthe1800s,peoplebeganusingitasanadjective,thewaywe'ddescribe"afuntime"or‘afunplace“today.”直到19世纪早期，它还只是一个名词，到了18世纪才有了"娱乐"的含义。但早在19世纪，人们就开始把它用作形容词，我们今天用它来形容"有趣的时间"或"有趣的地方"。可知过去的人们不习惯使用"funner"或"funnest"，部分原因是这个词最初用作名词。故选C。（3）考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“Butwhatabouttheword"fun"?Thissimpleadjectiveonlyhasonesyllable,soyou'dthinkyou'daddsuffixesonittocreatesuperlatives.”但是"乐趣"这个词呢?这个简单的形容词只有一个音节，所以你会认为你应该在它上面加上后缀来创造最高级。以及倒数第二段中的“Sotheyalsoagreethattheanswerto"isfunneraword?"isyes.”所以他们对"funner是一个词吗?"的说法是肯定的。本文主要内容都是围绕着fun的比较级和最高级变化规则展开论述，故A选项"funner是一个词吗？"符合文章主旨。故选A。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和主旨大意两个题型的考查，是一篇文化知识类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。7．阅读理解
