Afallintothepit,againinyourwit.【答案】（1）B（2）C（3）A（4）C（5）A【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在大三时和朋友在校外租房住，遇到了一个看起来粗鲁的中年男房东，有点害怕他。因为和朋友们一起办了一个聚会，意外认识到这位房东其实是一个非常友善的的人。（1）细节理解题。有文章第一段“Wewereallabitafraidofourlandlord,arudemiddleagedmanwhowas"allbusiness"whenwesignedthelease”，可知作者有点怕房东，是应为他看起来粗鲁而且签租约的时候很“商人”,故选B。（2）词义推测题。结合前文可知，作者和她的朋友有点怕这个粗鲁的房东，而她们因为聚会把屋子和院子弄得一团糟，肯定会受到这个房东的责备，C.“bescolded”表受到责备，符合题意;A.“getstressedout”感到焦虑，和“ecpectingto”搭配意思不符；B.“getangry”发怒，本句主语不是房东，不符：D."beprised"被表扬，语意不符，故选C。（3）细节理解结题。由文章第四段“Instead,hepickedupapartyinvitationthathadbeenlayingonthesidewalkandasked,"Whydidn'tyougirlsinviteme?"可知房东进来后并没有责备她们，反而问她们：为什么不邀请他。故选A。（4）综和理解题。由文章大意知，这位房东并不是像作者看起来的那样粗鲁严厉，而是很友善。排除法可知C对。故选C。（5）主旨大意题。由文章最后一段“Healsotaughtmeanimportantlessonaboutnotjudgingabookbyitscover”可知房东让她们学到重要的一课：不能以貌取人，“Neverjudgefromappearances”，A正确；B.“Afriendwithoutfaultswillneverbefound.

”无缺点的朋友难觅”；C."Accidentswillhappen.‘’总会有意外发生；D.“Afallintothepit,againinyourwit”吃一堑，长一智。故选A。【点评】本题考查对文章的主题感情把握和对细节的识别能力，答题时注意题中的关键词，在文中寻找答案，再比对选项确定最佳答案。4．阅读理解

Holdontoyourdreamevenifyoumeetdifficulties.【答案】（1）C（2）B（3）A（4）D（5）D【解析】【分析】做为一个成名的作家，作者在本文中讲述了自己成功路上的艰辛，告诫那些想成为作家的年轻人：写作是一项孤单寂寞而又收入微薄的工作，在数千名渴望成功的作家中,能获得命运垂青只是寥寥数人而已。⑴细节理解。根据第二段Therealityisthatwritingisalonely,privateandpoor-payingaffair可知，作者认为写作是一项孤独的任务，故答案为C。⑵细节理解。根据WhenIlefta20-yearjobintheUSCoastGuardtobecomeawriter,Ihadnohopesatall可知，作者离开做了20年的工作后感到很灰心，故答案为B。⑶细节理解。将题干中的NewYorkapartmentbuilding定位在第三段，根据后一句Itdidn'tevenmatterthatitwascoldandhadnobathroom可知房子很冷，没有洗澡间，打字机也是作者去了之后买的，故答案为A。⑷词义猜测。句意：我会把梦想投入到这个检验上——即使意味着带着不确定和失败的恐惧生活。这是希望的……，任何有梦想的人必须要学会在那儿生活。所以可以断定shadowland意思是“虚幻境界”，故答案为D。⑸主旨大意。本文通过作者自己的亲身感受，谈论写作的艰辛。虽然困难重重，但是作者仍然怀抱梦想，坚持向前。故答案为D。【点评】本文属于夹叙夹议的文章，答题前通读短文，弄清本文的主旨和作者的写作意图，然后根据题干中的关键词在文章的定位去分析相关语句，最后锁定答案。8．阅读下列短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
