1、WhatcanweIearnabouttheexhibitioninLondon?

A、TheexhibitionisintendedtomarkRemi'screationofTir.tin.

B、TintinatSeaisanewcollectionthatispromotedintheexhibition.

C、Remi,theBelgiancartoonist,attends（heexhibitionwithhisdog.

D^Theexhibition,whichlastedfivemonths,hasjustended.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：首段第2句中的celebratinghis75lhbirthday表明伦敦的展览是为了纪

念Rcmi在75年前创造了Tintin这个人物的，因此选项A为正确的说法。第2段

首句中的onginaldrawings表明《丁丁历险记》并非最新创作，因此B不正确；从

第1段和第4段可知，小狗的主人是漫画的主角丁丁，并非该漫画书的作者，因此

C不正确；首句中的forafive-monthstay表明这个展览还没开始，D与此相反，显

然不正确。

2、Beingareporter,Tintincanbestbedescribedasa(n)one.

A^inexperienced

B、inefficient

C、adventurous

D、courageous

标准答案：B

知识点解析；首段笫2句中定语从句里的fileonestory表明Tintin只发表过一篇报

道，可见，他的记者工作做得不够好，因此B为本题答案。原文关于Tintin作为

记者身份的信息只在首段第2句中的定语从句中提到，选项A没有原文依据；撇

开Tintin记者的身份，选项C和D可以用来形容他的个性，但不能说明Timin作

为记者的特点，因此均不正确。

3、WhichofthefollowingistrueaboutTintin'sadventures?

A、Tintinhadextendedhisadventurefromtheearthtotheouterspace.

B>TintinhadbeentoMilou.TibetandIcelandforadventure.

C、SnowywasTintin'smostfaithfulcompanionduringhisadventures.

D、CaptainHaddockhadn'tjoinedTintin'sadventuresatsea.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第6段开头让步从句中的themoon表明选项A为正确的说法。根据

第4段，Milou是小狗“白雪”的法文名，并非丁丁到过的地方，因此选项B不正

确；选项C中的mostfaithful无从证明，因此该选项不正确：第6段表明阿道克船

长与丁丁一起进行了海上历险，因此D不正确。

4、Whath叩penedtoHergeduringWorldWarTwo?

A、Hewasexiledforbeingaccusedoftreasonandracism.

B、HeworkedwithothercartoonistsonTintin'sadventures.

C、HewasforcedtoleaveBelgianfbrsometime.

D、HecriticizedracismthroughTintin'sadventures.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：倒数第3段第2句中的让步从句表明埃尔热曾经被放逐，即被迫离开

比利时一段时间，因此选项C为本题答案。本题最具干扰性的是选项A,事实

上，原文表明埃尔热被放逐是因为二战期间被控通敌卖国，而他曾经被控种族歧

视，这是被放逐后发生的事了，从原文也不能看出他被放逐的时候同时被控这两个

罪名，因此A不正确。

5、TintinmadehisearliestvisittoBritain.

A、rightafterhehadearnedglobalfame

B、fbrthefirstexhibition66yearsago

C、before(hefirstEnglishTintinstory

D^inoneofHerge'sstories

标准答案：D

知识点解析：倒数第2段开头的reporter指的就是丁「，表明在此次展览之前，丁

丁唯一•的一次英国之旅发生在一个埃尔热创作的故事里，故选项D正确。选项A

和C均没有原文依据；末段末句虽有提及66年前的信息，但没有提及丁丁66年

前到英国是为了参加展览，事实上，原文该处的“66年后重返英国”是针对上一段

提及的丁丁在1938年在故事《黑岛》中首次访问英国而言的，因此，选项B是不

正确的。

6、Bythelastsentenceofthefirstparagraph,theauthor.

A^compareschildren'sbehaviorstomonkeys'

B、tellsusthatchildrendonotlearnbyimitation

C、thinksitispartialtoregardimitationas"Monkeysee,monkeydo"

D^meansthatchildrenshouldnotlearnbyimitatingtheirparents

标准答案：C

知识点解析：首段末句提到，我们应当放弃“小猴看样学样''的观点，转而探索更深

奥的理论。而文章首句中也说断言孩子们通过模仿来学习是把问题过于简单化了。

结合这两句可知，认为模仿就是,,小猴看样学样”有失偏颇，因此选项C为正确答

案。

7、Thefirstelementatworkwhenachildlearnsbyimitationis.

A、theneedtofindawaytoattainthedesiredgoal

B、thedesiretobeacknowledgedbyhissocialgroup

C、thedesiretofindanexpertandauthority

D^(heneedtofindawaytoavoidcriticism

标准答案：A

知识点解析：第2段第2、3句提到，孩子处在新情况下，没有形成现成的反应。

他寻找一个能够实现一定目的的反应。如果他对这个新情况既没有现成反应，又不

能想出该怎么去做，就会想通过模仿来学习，所以在这个过程中起作用的第一个因

素是寻找一个能够实现一定R的的反应，因此选项A为正确答案。

8、Accordingtothethirdparagraph,besidesachievinghisgoals,achildshouldalso

learnto.

A^attainhisdesiredresultsassoonaspossible

B、showhisloveforhisparentsandfriends

C、talkinalowvoice

D^behaveproperly

标准答案：D

知识点解析：第3段第2句提到，孩子们也许能够立刻实现他们的直接目标，却发

现他的这种做法遭到其监护人的批评。接着通过举例说明孩子还得学会举止得当。

因此选项D为正确答案。

9、Itcanbeinferredthatchildrenusuallyimitatepeople.

A、whodonotscoldthem

B、whotheywanttobelike

C、whohaveahighsocialstatus

D、whogive(hemmanyrewards

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第4段第2句提到，孩子会模仿那些看上去值得效仿的人，第3句举

例如果这个学生想成为一个卓越的小提琴手，他就会观察并模仿一个出色琴手的技

巧。也就是说他们会模仿那些他们想成为的人，因此选项B为正确答案。

10>Thelasttwoparagraphsaremainlyabout.

A、howchildrenlearnbyimitation

B、themotiveofchildren'simitation

C、howchildrenchoosemoccls

D、howimitationinfluencechildren'sgrowth

标准答案：C

知识点解析：文章倒数第2、3段提到，••学习者不会随便选择模仿刈象“，••他模仿

那些看上去值得效仿的人”，“我们知道他们是可靠、值得模仿的对象，因为模仿他

们可以走向成功”，可见最后两段都是关于如何选择榜样的，所以选项C为正确答

案。

11、ThepictureofthereadingabilityoftheAmericanpeople,drawnbytheauthor,is

A、ratherbleak

B、fairlybright

C、veryimpressive

D^quiteencouraging

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据文章第1段第I句“我无需举例说明那种令人沮丧的受教育状

况句中depressing的意思与bleak相近，由此可推断作者描绘的这幅画面是相当

黯淡的，A为本题答案。

12、Theauthor'sbiggestconcernis.

A、elementaryschoolchildren'sdisinterestinreadingclassics

B、thesurprisinglylowrateofliteracyintheU.S.

C、themusicalsettingAmericanreadersrequireforreading

D^thereadingabilityandreadingbehaviorofthemiddleclass

标准答案：D

知识点解析：根据文章第2段第I句“目前我担心的倒不是基本文化水平这个大问

题，而是一个较为奢侈的问题，即美国中产阶级读者阅读艺术的衰退，即使是中级

的读者也不愿意在寂静无声的空间里，放下家庭事务，付出时间全神贯注地进行经

典性的阅读”，因此，只有D才与文中所陈述的意思相符。

13、Amajorproblemwithmostadolescentswhocanreadis.

A^theirfondnessofmusicandTVprograms

B、theirignoranceofvariousformsofartandliterature

C、theirlackofattentivenessandbasicunderstanding

D、theirinabilitytofocusonconflictinginput

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推断题。在第2段第2句和倒数第二句作者提到“大约80%的有文

化、受过教育的十儿岁的年轻人没有背景音乐和闪烁的电视屏幕的陪伴就无法阅

读”和“而这种边阅读边在背景的干涉下进行理解的新方法使人们不可能对所阅读的

东西全神贯注地加以理解“，由此可推断只有C是正确的,

14、Theauthorclaimsthatthebestwayareadercanshowacniirationforapieceof

pnetryorpraseis.

A、tobeabletoappreciateitandmemorizeit

B、toanalyzeitsessentialfeatures

C、tothinkitoverconscientiously

D^tomakeafairappraisalofitsartisticvalue

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据文章第2段倒数第二句“更不用说将散文或诗歌，不是用脑，而

是用心背下来，这是人们欣赏他们所喜欢的诗歌或散文的最好的方式”，因此A与

作者所表述的观点一致，因而正确。

15、Aboutthefutureoftheartsofreadingtheauthorfeels.

A、upset

B、uncertain

C、alarmed

D、pessimistic

标准答案：B

知识2解析：在第3段第1句，作者写道“在这种情况下，阅读艺术的将来确实是

一个真正的大问题”，在最后一句，作者乂提到“图书界没有人能充满信心地预言到

底会发生什么情况”，因此可推断，作者对阅读艺术的将来感到难以把握。故B与

文章所陈述的观点一致。

16、Itcanbeinferred(hatAmericansbeingapproachedtoocloselybyMiddleEasterners

wouldmostprobably.

A、standstill

B、jumpaside

C、stepforward

D、drawback

标准答案：D

知识点解析：文章第2段提到，我们喜欢和其他人保持至少3英尺或一臂之长的距

离。但拉丁人和中东人却喜欢站得很近，身体互相接触，而这使美国人很不舒服。

由此可推断，如双方靠得太近，美国人定会向后退。因此，D与文中所陈述的意思

一致，故而正确。

17、TheauthorgivesmanyexamplestocriticizeAmericansfbrtheir.
