17.She was dancing.My lame grandmother was dancing.I stood in the living room doorway,looking at her beautiful movements,absolutely shocked.She was the pet of the dancing world.And then she'd had her accident and it was all over.I had read that in an old newspaper article.
"So…Your leg?I mean,how did your leg heal (恢復(fù)健全)?"
"To tell you the truth-my legs have been well all my life,"she sighed.
"But I don't understand!"I said,"Your dancing career (事業(yè))…You pretended all these years?"
"Very much so,and for a very good reason."
She thought for a while and then continued."We were talking about engagement (訂婚) when your grandfather had to go to war.I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance.I put all my energy and time into practicing and I became very good.Critics praised me,the public loved me,but all I could feel was the ache in my heart,not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return.Then one day a letter came.There were only three sentences:‘I have lost my leg.I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom.It is best you forget about me."
"I made my decision there and then.I traveled away from the city.When I returned I had bought myself a stick.I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again.My dancing days were over.No one doubted the story-I had learned to limp (一瘸一拐地走) convincingly before I returned home.And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter I knew well.Then I traveled to the hospital.They had pushed your grandfather outside in his wheelchair.I took a deep breath,leaned on my stick and limped to him."
"I showed him newspaper articles of my accident.‘There is a whole life waiting for us out there!But I am not going to carry you.You are going to walk yourself.'"
"I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I'd taken out of my pocket.‘Now show me you are still a man.'I said.He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair.He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life."
"What did you show him?"I had to know.Grandma looked at me and smiled."Two engagement rings,of course.I had bought them the day after he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man."

36.What does the underlined word"it"in the first paragraph refer to?D
A.Her accident.
B.Her pet.
C.Her leg.
D.Her dancing career.

分析 文章講述了奶奶和爺爺?shù)母腥说墓适,為了鼓?lì)爺爺站起來(lái)接受新生活,奶奶不惜假裝瘸腿,并放棄了自己最喜愛(ài)的舞蹈事業(yè).體現(xiàn)了夫妻之間感人肺腑的真摯感情.

解答 36.D.推理題.根據(jù)第一段"She was the pet of the dancing world.And then she'd had her accident and it was all over.I had read that in an old newspaper article."說(shuō)明是一場(chǎng)事故毀了她的腿.讓她的舞蹈夢(mèng)結(jié)束了,故it指她的舞蹈事業(yè).故D正確.
37.C.排序題.根據(jù)文章."We were talking about engagement (訂婚) when your grandfather had to go to war."可知爺爺去參軍,最后一段"Two engagement rings,of course.I had bought them the day after he left for the war"可知奶奶在爺爺參軍后買了戒指等爺爺回來(lái).第六段中"I put all my energy and time into practicing and I became very good.Critics praised me,the public loved me"可知奶奶的舞蹈越來(lái)越好,"There were only three sentences:‘I have lost my leg.I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom.It is best you forget about me."在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中爺爺失去了雙腿,倒數(shù)第三段"There is a whole life waiting for us out there!But I am not going to carry you.You are going to walk yourself.'"奶奶假裝有了事故,鼓勵(lì)爺爺站起來(lái)接受新生活.故C正確.
38.A.推理題.奶奶為了鼓勵(lì)爺爺勇敢面對(duì)新生活,不惜假裝腿瘸.而且堅(jiān)持了很多年.說(shuō)明她很堅(jiān)定也很體貼別人.故A正確.
39.B.主旨大意題.這篇文章主要講的是奶奶的無(wú)條件的愛(ài).

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文屬于故事類文章閱讀,解答此類題目要認(rèn)真閱讀,迅速抓住故事的核心內(nèi)容,了解故事發(fā)展的線索和脈絡(luò),根據(jù)題干的不同要求進(jìn)行細(xì)致的分析,比如排序題,要通讀文章,抓住文中事件發(fā)生的具體細(xì)節(jié),認(rèn)真推敲,排除其他選項(xiàng);選出正確的選項(xiàng).

5.There are an extremely large number of antsworldwide.Each individual (個(gè)體的) ant hardly weigh anything,but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind.They also live nearly everywhere,except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles.Foranimals their size,ants have been astonishingly successful,largely due to their wonderfulsocial behavior.
In colonies (群體) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions,they organize their lives with a clear division of labor.Even more amazing is how they achievethis level of organization.Where we use sound and sight to communicate,ants dependprimarily on pheromone (外激素),chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tastedby fellow members of their colony.When an ant finds food,it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is.When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying,it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.
In fact,when it comes to the art of war,ants have no equal.They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves,attacking in large groups and overcoming their target.Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.
Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner,these little creatures have survived on Earth,for more than 140million years,far longer than dinosaurs.Because they think as one,they have a collective (集體的) intelligence greater than you would expect from itsindividual parts.

68.We can learn from the passage that ants areB.
A.not willing to share food
B.not found around the poles
C.more successful than all other animals
D.too many to achieve any level of organization
69.Ants can use pheromones forB.
A.escape
B.communication
C.warning enemies
D.a(chǎn)rranging labor
70.What does the underlined expression"take on"in Paragraph 3mean?D
A.Accept.
B.Employ.
C.Play with.
D.Fight against.
71.Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?A
A.Their behavior.
B.Their size.
C.Their number.
D.Their weight.

12.In the United States,there were some well-constructed houses for native Indians,ranging from the simple brush shelter to the five-storied pueblo.
  In the eastern United States,one of the existing types was that commonl y know under the Algonkian name of wigwam in which the Iroquois Indians lived.The wigwams were of wagon-top shape with straight sides and ends,made by bending young trees to form the round shape.Over this shape pieces of tree bark were laid to protect the Indians from bad weather.Over the bark dried grass was added.A small hole allowed smoke to escape from the top.Doorways at each end served also as windows,The Iroquois Indians built trunk walls all around their villages.The wall had only one opening,They could quickly close this opening if their enemies came near.
  Interestingly,the Choctaw Indians in Mississippi also lived in a wigwam of a most primitive(原始的) construction,but different from those of the Iroquois Indians.The Choctaw Indians'wigwams,made from mud,cane and straw,were in the form of a bee-hive.The covering was made of a long,tough grass.A post in the centre supported the roof.A hole in the top admitted the light,and allowed the smoke to pass out.
  The tipi tent-housing of the upper lake and plains area was put up with poles set lightly in the ground,tied together near the top,and covered with bark and grass in the lake country.It was easily portable,and two women could set it up or take it down within an hour.
  The Pawnee,Mandan and other Indian tribes (部落) along the Missouri built solid ring-shaped structures of trunk,covered with earth and dried grass,housing a dozen families.
  The Wichita and other tribes of the Texas border built large ring-shaped houses covered with dried grass.
  Apart from the regular housing,almost every tribe had some style of housing.

54.All the native Indian houses d escribed in the passage wereB.
A.of the same shape            B.covered with grass 
C.built with a post in the centre   D.built with doorways at each end

C.the Iroquois Indians took safety into account while building their wigwams
