D．werefalling【答案】C【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：今年学校里有阅读困难的学生人数减少了。根据句意可知，此处表示fall这一动作发生在过去，强调对现在的影响，所以用现在完成时，thenumberof后跟名词复数做主语，谓语动词用单数。故选C项。5．Iwaswatchingtheclockallthroughthemeeting,asIhadatrain________.A．catching B．caughtC．tocatch

D．Givingafriendlyreception【答案】31．D32．B33．A34．C35．A【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者巧妙地用方法让别人修理好自己坏掉的椅子的故事。31．细节理解题。根据第一段“SometimeagoIdiscoveredthatoneofmychairshadabrokenleg.Ididn'tthinktherewouldbeanydifficultyingettingitmended,asthereareawholelotofantiqueshopsnearmyhome.(不久前我发现我的一把椅子断了一条腿。我没想到修理起来会有什么困难，因为我家附近有很多古董店)”及“Iwentintothefirstshopexpectingafriendlyreception.(我走进第一家店，希望受到友好的接待)”可知，作者去第一家店是想让店主修他的椅子。故选D项。32．词句猜测题，根据下文中的“andIshouldtryanotherway(我应该尝试另外一种方法)”可推知，划线词所在句“soIdecidedthatmyapproachmustbewrong(所以我觉得我的方法一定是错的)”中的approach和way同义，意为“方法”。故选B项。33．词句猜测题。根据划线词的下一句“Iknowwhatyouwant.Youwantmetorepairyourchair.(我知道你想要什么。你要我修理你的椅子)”可知，店主明白了作者的意图，是对thepennydropped的解释说明。故选A项。34．推理判断题。根据第二段“Thesecondshop,thoughsightlymorepolitewasjustthesame,andthethirdandthefourth,soIdecidedthatmyapproachmustbewrong,andIshouldtryanotherway.(第二家店主虽然礼貌得多，但还是一样的，包括第三家店和第四家店，所以我觉得我的方法一定是错的，我应该换一种方法)”和第四段“EverythingwasgoingaccordingtoplanandIwasgettingexcited.(一切都按计划进行，我很兴奋)”以及全文内容可知，作者虽然刚开始碰壁，但是他能很快思考并且找到解决问题的方法，所以可以推断他是一个很聪明的人。故选C项。35．主旨大意题。通读文章可知，本文主要讲述作者想要修理坏掉的椅子，可是前四家古董店都拒绝了他的请求，所以作者想出办法在第五家店卖掉了椅子，等他们修好之后又买回来的事。所以A项“Repairingachair(修理椅子)”概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。Asweallknow,treesarenotmoving:theystaymoreorlesswhereyouplantthem,andnooneworriesaboutfindingatreewanderingaroundaparkorbackyard.However,thereisonespecialexception,somesay:theso-calledwalkingpalmtree(Socrateaexorrhiza)foundintherainforestsofCentralandSouthAmerica.Manypeoplebelieveitcanreallywalkaround.Thisisbecauseofitsunusualrootsystem;whilemosttreeshaveonetrunk(树干),thepalmbreaksintomanysmallerrootsafewfeetoftheground,givingittheappearanceofmanylittlelegs.Theamazingwalkingabilityofthepalmtreehasalwaysbeentoldbyrainforestguidestotouristsforyears,andappearsinmanysourcesofdocumentsasanamazingplantadaptation.AsjournalistSherrySeethalerwritesinherbookCuriousFolksAsk2,“ScreenwriterssearchingfortheperfectB-movieplantherocouldtakeinspirationfromthewalkingpalm.Thetreewalksslowlyfromshadetosunlightbygrowingnewrootstowardthelight.”Atreethatwalksinsearchofthesunisafascinating,strangestory.Andit'snottrue,either;thetreeisrealenough,butitdoesn'twalk.Itsitswhereitbegantogrow,notmovingexceptundertheforceofwind.BiologistGerardoAvalosisoneoftheworld'stopexpertsontheSocrateaexorrhiza.Hisanalysisoftheplantanditsrootsshowsthatthewalkingtreecan'twalkbecauseitsrootsdon'tmove.Afewrootsononesideoranothermaydieof,butthetrunkitselfremains,wellrootedtothespot.“Mypaperprovesthatthebeliefofthewalkingpalmisjustamyth(谎言),”Avalossaid.“Thinkingthatapalmtreecouldactuallytrackthesunlightchangesbymovingslowlyovertheforestfloor...isamyththattouristguidesfinditsamusingtotellthevisitorstotherainforest.”36．WhydopeoplethinkSocrateaexorthizacanwalkaround?A．Ithasnorootsunderground

D．Tocriticizepeople'sbadbehaviors【答案】36．C37．C38．D39．A40．C【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述之前人们普遍认为会行走的棕榈树被生物学家GerardoAvalos的发现证明这种说法是错误的。36．细节理解题。根据第二段“Manypeoplebelieveitcanreallywalkaround.Thisisbecauseofitsunusualrootsystem;whilemosttreeshaveonetrunk(树干),thepalmbreaksintomanysmallerrootsafewfeetoftheground,givingittheappearanceofmanylittlelegs.（很多人相信它真的可以到处走动。这是因为它不寻常的根系；虽然大多数的树只有一根树干，但这种棕榈树在离地面几英尺的地方会分裂成许多较小的根，使它看起来像许多小脚。）”可知，人们认为这种棕榈树可以行走的原因是树的底部有许多像小脚一样的较小的根，让它看起来好像可以行走一样。故选C项。37．推理判断题。根据第三段“Theamazingwalkingabilityofthepalmtreehasalwaysbeentoldbyrainforestguidestotouristsforyears,andappearsinmanysourcesofdocumentsasanamazingplantadaptation.（多年来，热带雨林导游一直向游客讲述棕榈树惊人的行走能力，并在许多文献来源中作为一种惊人的植物适应能力出现。）”可知，游客们经常可以听到导游介绍这种棕榈树，说明这种棕榈树是一个很受游客欢迎的景点。故选C项。38．推理判断题。根据第三段“AsjournalistSherrySeethalerwritesinherbookCuriousFolksAsk2,“ScreenwriterssearchingfortheperfectB-movieplantherocouldtakeinspirationfromthewalkingpalm.Thetreewalksslowlyfromshadetosunlightbygrowingnewrootstowardthelight.”（正如记者SherrySeethaler在她的书《好奇的人问2》中所写：“寻找完美B级电影植物英雄的编剧可以从《行走的手掌》中获得灵感。这棵树慢慢地从阴凉处走到阳光下，朝着阳光生长新的根。”）”和第四段“Atreethatwalksinsearchofthesunisafascinating,strangestory.Andit'snottrue,either;thetreeisrealenough,butitdoesn'twalk.（一棵为寻找太阳而行走的树是一个迷人而奇怪的故事。这也不是真的；这棵树是真的，但它不会走。）”可知，记者SherrySeethaler在她的书中对这种棕榈树会行走的描述是错误的。故选D项。39．细节理解题。根据第五段“Hisanalysisoftheplantanditsrootsshowsthatthewalkingtreecan'twalkbecauseitsrootsdon'tmove.（他对植物及其根系的分析表明，这种会走路的树不能走路，因为它的根系不动。）”可知，生物学家GerardoAvalos认为这种棕榈树不会走路。故选A项。40．推理判断题。根据第二段“Manypeoplebelieveitcanreallywalkaround.Thisisbecauseofitsunusualrootsystem;whilemosttreeshaveonetrunk(树干),thepalmbreaksintomanysmallerrootsafewfeetoftheground,givingittheappearanceofmanylittlelegs.（很多人相信它真的可以到处走动。这是因为它不寻常的根系；虽然大多数的树只有一根树干，但这种棕榈树在离地面几英尺的地方会分裂成许多较小的根，使它看起来像许多小脚。）”和第五段“Hisanalysisoftheplantanditsrootsshowsthatthewalkingtreecan'twalkbecauseitsrootsdon'tmove.（他对植物及其根系的分析表明，这种会走路的树不能走路，因为它的根系不动。）”可知，文章讲述之前人们普遍认为会行走的棕榈树被生物学家GerardoAvalos的发现证明这种说法是错误的，所以这篇文章的目的是为了揭示这一自然界的谜题。故选C项。Afour—wheeledrobot,knownasRover,hasbeentestedbyateamatSydneyUniversity.Itwasusedtomoveaherdofcowsfromafieldtoadairy(牛奶场).Researcherswereamazedathoweasilycowsacceptedthepresenceoftherobot.Theywerenotdisturbedbyitandthegatheringprocesswascalmandeffective.Becausetherobotmovedinasteadymanneritallowedcowstomoveattheirownspeed,whichwasimportantinreducinginjuriesamongcattle,saidDrKendraKerrisk,dairyresearcherandassociateprofessor.Therobotwasadaptedfromonethatwasalreadybeingusedtomonitorfruitandtreesonfarms.AteamatSydneyUniversity'sCentreforFieldRoboticsimprovedtherobotsothatitcouldbeputinafieldwithcowsinorderfortheresearcherstogatherdataonrobot-cowinteraction.Therobotneedstobeoperatedbyahumannowbutit'shopedthatinthefutureaversioncanbedevelopedthatwillbefullyautomated(自动化的).Aswellasgatheringcowsanewversioncouldalsocollectinformationusefulforfarmers.Usingrobotstogetcowstothedairywillbebetterfortheirwell-being.“Theresearchisinitsveryearlystagesbutrobotictechnologiescertainlyhavethepotentialtotransformdairyfarming,”saidDr.Kerrisk.“Whenwehavediscussedthisconceptwithfarmerstheyhavebeenextremelyexcitedandwehavehadaseriesofcallsandemailsaskinghowtheycangetholdofone.”sheadded.Therobotcouldalsocutdownthenumberofaccidentsinvolvingbumansonfarms.MostdairyfarmersinAustraliausebikestorounduptheircattleandtheyareoneoftheleadingcausesofinjury.Theteamhopesthatbyusingtherobottodothejobinstead,accidentratescouldfall.41．TherobotRoverwasmainlyusedto________.A．milkthecowsonthefield
