6、es with their kidsCwant to educate their children by travelling abroadDare interested in the history and culture of Los AngelesB细节理解题。由第一段“Everyone is welcome to visit our city Los Angeles (LA)I am sure you can do many things in Los Angeles with your kids.”可判断出这篇文章是为那些打算和他们的孩子一起去洛杉矶旅行的人准备的。2The auth

8、joy themselves nearby，you can simply lie back and have a good rest in the sun.”可知作者建议去海滩旅游，因为父母可以在那里休息。3We can infer from the passage that Athe City of Angels refers to Los AngelesBthe beach of Los Angeles sees the most visitors in cold winterCNatural History Museum is the largest one in Los Angeles
9、DWisteria Lane is the director of the TV play Desperate HousewivesA推理判断题。由Trip to Disneyland中的“A trip to the City of Angels with your little angels is incomplete without a visit to the Magic Kingdom.”可知，如果不去魔法王国，那么和你的小天使一起去天使之城的旅行是不完整的。魔法王国是沃尔特迪斯尼世界首个主题公园，而沃尔特迪斯尼位于洛杉矶内。所以判断出天使之城指的就是洛杉矶。洛杉矶被称为“天使之城”。

15、解读】这是一篇人物传记。短文主要介绍了中国伟大的教育家，思想家孔子。4Today we still remember Confucius mainly because Ahe lived a poor life in his childhoodBhe had wise thoughts and great views about educationChe traveled with his students from state to stateDhe lived during the Spring and Autumn PeriodB推理判断题。由第一段“Although he lived
16、over 2，000 years ago，people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.”可知，尽管他生活在两千多年以前，但人们仍然记得并尊敬他对今天教育事业的贡献。所以判断出，今天我们还记得孔子，主要是因为他对教育有明智的想法和伟大的观点。5Confucius learned music，history，poetry and sports as a child.Aby teaching himself at home Bwith the help of his motherC
17、by going to school Dby visiting many famous teachersD细节理解题。由第二段“He visited many famous teachers and learned music，history，poetry and sports.”可知，他拜访了许多著名的教师，学习了音乐、历史、诗歌和体育。所以，孔子从小就通过拜访许多著名的老师来学习音乐、历史、诗歌和体育。6The underlined word “noble” in Paragraph 3 has the closest meaning to ApoorBbrightCwealthy Dcu
18、teC词义猜测题。由第三段“At that time only children from noble families could go to school，but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn”可知，那时，只有贵族家庭的孩子才能上学，但孔子认为，如果想学习，人人都应该上学。所以猜测出第三段中划线的“noble”的意思与wealthy“富有的”最接近。7Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?AAll stud
19、y but no thinking makes people puzzled.BNo one has something worthy to be learned.CAll thinking but no study makes people lazy.DA person should be strict with himself，but be kind to others.B细节理解题。由第五段“All study but no thinking makes people puzzled.All thinking but no study makes people lazy.可知，学而不思则
20、罔，思而不学则殆。”第六段 “A person should be strict with himself，but be kind to others.”可知，严以律己，宽以待人。所以A，C，D选项都在短文中被提及。故B选项没有被提及。CScientists and marine biologists(海洋生物学家) had something to celebrate last week when two lost humpback whales(座头鲸) returned to the Pacific Ocean.Delta and Dawn a mother and a baby had
