74、te of moviegoers around the worldDthe general existence of the sense of curiosity解析:选D。推理判断题。文章第二段主要讲述了好奇心的普遍性。作者引用电影指环王目的就是为了证明好奇就是普遍存在的。信息词the popularity of fantasy(幻想)literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings(幻想文学的流行或像电影指环王的流行)就表明了好奇的普遍存在。故只能选D。A(人类和幻想世界之间的紧密联系)、B(幻想文学的巨大成就)和C(全球电影爱好者的品味)都没
75、有提到流行性,都不符合题意。6What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?APeople are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.BThe world around us could serve as a source of wonder.CThe world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.DModern technology prevents us from developing
76、our sense of wonder.解析:选B。推理判断题。句意:没有现代技术,一个小小的池塘可以是一个充满奇特、美丽动植物和飞禽走兽的奇妙世界。由句意可知,这里指我们周围的世界就可当作一种好奇资源,就地取材。根据第三段.it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows.(我们发现8岁的小孩都对电视剧里的人非常熟悉)可排除A;C(小小的池塘可以当作一面镜子)不合句意;D(现代技术阻止我们理解好奇的意义)偏离了主题。7If our sens

78、真正地错过了一些美好的事物。我们就渐渐地和我们生存的世界失去联系。从而判断如果我们好奇的意义仅限于假设的世界,我们将无法感受到真正生活的乐趣。故选A。信息词missing something可推测,这里只是失去生活的真正意义,而非B(被幻想世界所迷惑)、C(失去识别幻想世界的机会)和D(被存在于我们周围的其他世界所困)。8What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo show us the hidden beauty in our world.BTo warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.CTo ar
79、gue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.DTo discuss the influence of the world of makebelieve.解析:选B。主旨大意题。由文章最后一段,特别是第二句But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路)for our sense of wonder,then we are really missing something(但是当幻想世界变成我们理解好奇的唯一出路时,那么我们就真正的错过了一些美好的事物)和最后一句But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough,we can see that these worlds,in a broad sense,are really part of our own(最有趣的是如果我们仔细看看,广义来讲,这世界真正是我们的世界)推测出,告知我们千万不能沉浸于虚拟的幻想世界。故选B。而A(展示我们周围隐藏的美妙之物)、C(辩论好奇意义的滥用)和D(讨论幻想世界的影响)都是很片面的。版权所有:高考资源网()版权所有:高考资源网()
