C.

D.

Thepanda.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了4个令人难以置信的动物与人类行为类似的故事。（1）考查细节理解。根据Horsesarepickyeaters部分介绍的内容可知，马的嗅觉比人类还要强。当马抬起鼻子打开鼻孔时，它们的神经系统让它们感觉到我们感觉不到的气味。因此它们能够拒绝脏水，只吃最美味的草。这说明马靠嗅觉辨别草的好坏。故选C。（2）考查推理判断。根据Whalesaysthanks可知，这条鲸鱼通过跳跃表达对拯救它的救命恩人的感激。根据Acathonorsitsowner的内容可知，这只猫到墓地去怀念自己的主人。由此可知，两者共同之处在于都有一颗感恩之心。故选B。（3）考查细节理解。根据Pandasliketobenaughty中的“Infact,babypandassometimesbehavelikehumanbabies”可知，熊猫宝宝的行为与人类的婴儿相似。故选D。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。4．阅读理解MyFirstDayofSchool

Weshouldseizeeverychancetoreceivewarmthoflifefromothers.【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）B（4）C【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，一个寒冷的冬天早晨，由于作者的粗心大意而使水管冻死，没水可用。作者只得想尽办法自己修复，最后得到了热水做了早餐。作者从这件事得出，不要让生活中的寒冷影响我们，要感激生活中给我们带来的每一个温暖。（1）考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“Ihadforgottentoleavemywaterdrippingthenightbeforeandnowmywaterpipeswerefrozenandmyfaucets(水龙头)weredry”可知，头天晚上我忘记了让水龙头的水一直处于滴水的状态，现在水管冻结了，水龙头也流不出水了。由此可知，导致水管冻结的直接原因是由于作者本人的疏忽。故选D。（2）考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的“...andstartedblowinghotaironthefrozenwaterpipe…aftertwentyminutes,thewaterstartedflowingthroughmyfaucetsagain”可知，两个加热器开始向冻结的水管吹热空气，…二十分钟后，水又开始流过我的水龙头。此处roaredtolife表达的含义应该是两台加热器开始正常运转起来。分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。（3）考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“IlookedattheweakJanuarysunshiningonthefrozensnowandsmiled.ThenIsentajoyfilledwith"Thankyou"heavenwardandreturnedinsidetomakemyselfahotbreakfast.”中的smiled和“ajoyfilledwith"Thankyou"”可知，作者对自己的工作很满意。故选B。（4）考查主旨大意。根据最后一段中的“Letusallbegratefulforthosebitsofwarmththatgelusgoingagain.Andletusalltrytobethatbitofwarmthforotherseverychanceweget.”可知，作者强调我们要感激生活中的每一个温暖，无论它们是多么的微不足道。故选C。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测，推理判断和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。7．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
