B推理判断题。根据第一段内容我们知道，由于作者对美国历史的无知，弄混了乔治华盛顿的身份，所以同学们听了作者写的报告忍不住大笑起来。“bearing bi
19、g smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.”可知大家觉得这个报告很荒谬。controversial有争议的；ridiculous荒谬的，可笑的；boring无聊的；puzzling迷惑的，不解的。2. A推理判断题。 根据第二段“Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country”可知，作者是从别的国家初到美国，所以对美国历史不了解而闹了笑话。3. D词义猜测题。 根据全文叙述可知，作者是通过投掷硬币来决定的答案，因此犯了常识错误。第三段中“I w
20、as totally lost.”说明作者不明就里，所以当其他同学读报告时，作者渴望知道为什么。annoyed 烦恼的；ashamed羞愧的；ready准备好的，情愿的；eager渴望的。4. B细节理解题。 根据第四段“Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.”可知作者是通过throw oneself into(积极从事)而实现转变的。所以选B。文中老师并没有给作者机会重做，所以A错误；从祖父那里得到建议是在选择华盛顿身份时，所以C错误；而校长是在作者成绩提高后才接见
21、的，所以D错误。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。There are various reasons why cancers appear to be on the increase. For one thing, though their sufferers are to be found in all age groups, cancers are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years. Naturally, since people
22、live longer these years, there are more cancer sufferers than before. Again, with better methods of diagnosis (诊断), doctors can more easily recognize cancerous growths that would formerly have passed unnoticed or that would have been wrongly diagnosed. It is also believed that certain habits and con
23、ditions of modem living, including heavy smoking and the pollution of the air, may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions than before.We all look forward to the day when a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small. Researchers around the world are working on such a t
24、est. Most of their work deals with the examination of the blood.Researchers in Boston have found something in the blood of cancer patients that does not appear in healthy persons. The test showed which persons had cancer and which did not. It was correct more than 90 percent of the time.The research
25、ers believe the test may be able to show cancer very clearly in its development. Cancers discovered early usually can be treated successfully.The test examines very small bits of fat in the blood called lipids (脂质). Cancers seem to change lipids although doctors do not know why. The test showed diff
26、erences between the lipids of the persons with cancer and the lipids of those without cancer.The researchers say the new test could be a step to develop a simple way to check patients for cancer before the disease shows on an X-ray.1. Who will fail cancer from the study of the researchers?A. The you
27、ng. B. The middle age and the older.C. The man. D. The woman.2. The underlined words such a test refer to_.A. the test that shows which persons have cancer and which dont .B. the test that may be able to show cancer very early in its development,.C. a simple medical test that cannot find cancer when
28、 it is -smallD. a new test that could be a step to develop a difficult way3. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Cancers have much to do with something in patients blood.B. People living in better conditions are most likely to be attacked by cancer.C.X-raying is the
29、 best way to determined whether a person has cancer or not.D. Cancers have nothing to do with a persons habits and living conditions.4. What would be the best title for the passage?A. A simple way to cancer B. Cancers can be curedC. How to find cancer D. Early discovery of cancer1. B 细节题。从第一段中的cance
30、rs are particularly likely to attack persons in their middle and advanced years可以知道癌症尤其容易在中年人和老年人的身体上发生。2. B 词义题。第二段中的a simple medical test can find cancer while it is still small；test与后面的such a test指的是同样的一种方法，所以这里的test指的是上句的“用最简单的方法诊断早期的癌症”。3. A 细节题。第三段中提到了cancer病人血液中的有些东西在健康人中没有，并且百分之九十以上的情况是这样的。B
31、项与D项的意思与文章第一段中的certain habits and conditions of modern living including heavy smoking and pollution of the air may leave people living in more cancer-causing conditions不符；C项内容与文章最后一段的意思不符。4. D 主旨题。文章在开头就交代了写作的目的，有各种不同的理由说明了为什么癌症似乎在上升，而从后面的几段我们知道科学家们正在研究一种新的早期诊断cancer的方法。阅读表达【2013江西省南昌两校高三上学期第四次联考】1G
