becomemoresensitivetotheancientlifestyleofourancestors【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）B（4）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，自从1888年在埃及发现了猫动物的木乃伊之后，大量的皇家墓穴被挖掘，成千上万的木乃伊被运往世界各地，以攫取物质利益。后来考古学家不再只是寻宝，而是把它作为一门科学研究。因为木乃伊展示了古埃及人的日常生活。正如古物学家萨利玛·伊克拉姆所说，木乃伊的研究是现代社会和过去的联系的桥梁。（1）考查词义猜测。根据第一段中"Villagechildrenpeddledthebestonestotouristsforchange;therestweresoldasfertilizer."可知，peddled后的"totouristsforchange"即"把最好的给游客来换取零钱"，可知，此处的peddled是"兜售"给游客以换取零钱，可知peddle就是向他人炫耀从而售出，故选B。（2）考查推理判断。第二段叙述了"最初考古是为了寻找皇家陵墓，寻找华丽的黄金和彩绘面具来装饰欧洲和美洲的地产和博物馆。成千上万的来自古埃及的动物木乃伊出现在埃及各地的宗教场所，但很少有人研究它们"。可知，考古就是寻宝，为了物质上的价值。以及第三段中的“Inthecenturysincethen,archaeologyhasbecomelessofa

treasurehunt

andmoreofascience.”从那以后的一个世纪里，考古学已不再是寻宝，而是一门科学，可知，他们寻找古埃及的遗迹仅仅是为了他们的物质价值。分析选项可知D项符合题意，故选D。（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“shecreatedagalleryforthecollection—abridgebetweenpeopletodayandthoseoflongago.”可知，SalimaIkram把她的发现进行分类之后，她为这些收藏品创建了一个画廊——一座连接今天的人和很久以前的人的桥梁。以及她的话"Youlookatthesemummifiedanimals,andsuddenlyyousay,Oh,KingSo-and-Sohadapet.Ihaveapet.Andinsteadofbeingatadistanceof5,000-plusyears,theancientEgyptiansbecomeclearerandclosertous.""你看着这些动物木乃伊，突然你说，哦，国王某某养了一只宠物。我有一只宠物。古埃及人与我们之间的距离不再是5000多年前的事了，而是变得更加清晰，离我们更近了。"由此可推断出她认为研究这些遗迹有助于把现代社会与过去联系起来。故选B。（4）考查推理判断。本文主要叙述了古代埃及的木乃伊展示了古代埃及人的日常生活，是了解它们的途径，有助于在现代社会与过去的之间建立一座桥梁。通过研究它们可以让我们正确的评估过去。分析选项可知A符合题意，故选A。【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。5．阅读理解

内心感受，每迈出一步都感受到一阵巨痛，似乎她的心给抛在街上，任凭他”人吐唾沫和踩踏。因此可知此时，人群在大街上聚集，故选A。（3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“Inournature,however,thereisaconditionthatthesufferershouldneverknowtheintensityofwhatheenduresbyitspresentsuffering,butchieflybythepainthatrankles(使痛心)afterit.”可知，人们对痛苦的感知往往后知后觉，故选D。（4）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“therefore,HesterPrynnepassedthroughthisportionofhersuffering,andcametoasortofscaffold（刑台），atthewesternendofthemarket-place”因此，海丝特·白兰度过了这一段痛苦，来到市场西端的一个刑台前，可推知选D。【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，是一篇故事类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，同时根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。6．阅读理解

工作，用的是唯一能赢的工具——笑声。即可推测幽默在生活中是很重要的，故选B。（3）考查词义猜测。根据第三段中的“Theroomexplodedinlaughter.Thebossclampedoffasmileandwalkedbacktohisoffice.”可知房间里哄堂大笑，因此老板也是只能强忍住笑，走回他的办公室。故可知划线部分单词意思为"努力忍住；抑制住"，故选D。（4）考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“Considerthecaseofayoungfriendofmine,whohitatrafficjamonhiswaytoworkshortlyafterreceivinganultimatum(最后通牒)aboutbeinglateonthejob.”可知Brian在上班路上遇到了交通堵塞，就在他收到上班迟到的最后通牒后不久。可知这不是Brian第一次上班迟到了，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．阅读理解
