10、e.CT scanners were developed to help doctors examine patients.But the machines turned out to be perfect for studying mummies,too.“A hundred years ago,scientists would usually open mummies coffins.This did a great deal of harm to those mummies,” says AMNH president Ellen V.Futter.“We just dont do tha

12、of an enemy.But DNA evidence showed that the mummies were buried with the skull of an ancestor.The 19 mummies in the show are from Egypt and Peru.They had completely different reasons for mummifying the dead.The ancient Egyptians believed that mummification allowed an ancestor to live on in the next

26、文。文章介绍了美国阿肯色州温泉国家公园。1.A细节理解题。根据GreatSprings中的“Theareabecameanationalparkin1921.”可知,美国温泉国家公园成立于1921年,故A项正确。2.D细节理解题。根据GreatSprings部分中的“Youcanalsodrinkthespringwaterfromspecialfountains”可知应选D项。3.C细节理解题。根据Fees&Passes部分中的“Yourstayislimitedto14daysatatime.”可知,在美国温泉国家公园露营一次最多只能停留14天。4.A细节理解题。根据Fees&Passes
27、部分中的“Thereisnoentrancefeeforthepark.”可知,美国温泉国家公园没有门票费。【篇章导读】本文是说明文。随着科学技术的进步,科学家们正一步步揭开木乃伊的神秘面纱。5.C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Scientistssaysheprobablydiedoflungdiseasewhenshewasinher40sabout2,000yearsagoinEgypt.”可知,科学家们认为GildedLady生活在2000多年前的古埃及。6.D推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Ahundredyearsago,scientistswouldusuallyopenmummies
28、coffins.”及“ByusingCTscanners.whowasrelatedtowhom.”可知,随着科技的进步,科学家们改变了以往的研究手段,并获得了更多重要的发现,由此可知Futter的话说明科技对木乃伊的研究起着重要的作用。7.B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“InancientPeru,peoplepracticedmummificationtostayconnectedwiththeirancestors.”可知,秘鲁人制作木乃伊是为了与他们的祖先紧密相连在一起。8.B代词指代题。根据最后一段中的“Futtercallsthemummiesintheshowmessenger
29、sfromanothertime.”可知,由于木乃伊被当成历史信息的传递者,所以科学家们希望继续发掘木乃伊的秘密以理解他们所传递的信息,故这里it指代“信息”的意思。二、【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。作者在海边游泳不料却突然遭到鲨鱼的袭击,在紧急关头,她冒着生命危险又重返海中救出自己的小伙伴,幸运的是她们都安全返回岸边。这次经历不但没有让作者害怕海滩,反而让她更爱那里。1.C上文中的“Wegotothebeacheveryweekend.Ilovetoswimandhangout.”与下文中的“somethingreallyterriblehappenedlastAugust”构成转折关系,故用B
30、ut。2.C根据上文中的“Ilovetoswimandhangout”及下文发生的事情可知,“我”和朋友在“沙滩(beach)”上。3.A后来“我”和一个朋友及她6岁的表妹在浅海处“游泳(swimming)”。4.B根据文中的“ThenIfeltsomethingonmyrightleg.I.acrabbitme.”可知,“我”觉得有东西在“我”的右腿上,开始“我”“以为(thought)”是只螃蟹。5.D根据语境及下文中的“Itsashark”可知,“我”看见一条“鲨鱼(shark)”在“我”身边游动。6.B根据文中的“Ithought,Thiscantbehappening.Getouto
31、fthewater!Itsashark!”可知,“我”看见鲨鱼后很“害怕(frightened)”。7.D“我”赶紧向“我”的朋友“喊道(shouted)”:“快离开这里,这里有鲨鱼!”8.A根据文中的“Sheranontothebeachtowardourparents.I.running,too.”可知,“我”的朋友向岸边跑去,“我”也“开始(started)”跑。9.C根据语境及文中的“ButthenIlookedovermyshoulderand.myfriendslittlecousinwasstillinthewater.”可知,当“我”回头看的时候,“我”“意识到(realize
32、d)”“我”朋友的表妹还在水里。10.C根据语境及文中的“caughtherhand”和“Iknewitwas.butIalsothoughtIprobablywouldntgetbitten”可知,“我”又“跑回(ranback)”了水里。11.B“我”知道这很“冒险(risky)”。12.D但是“我”觉得“我”不会“再(again)”被鲨鱼咬了。13.D根据文中的“Whenshesawmyleg,she.Iwassuperterrified.”可知,当她看见“我”的腿的时候,她吓“哭(cried)”了。14.B“我”也非常害怕,“我”的腿非常“疼(pain)”。15.B根据语境及文中的“i
33、tstartedraining.Thewhole.waslikemymostfrighteningdream”可知,“我”经历的所有“情形(situation)”都像是“我”做过的最恐怖的梦。16.C上文中的“thedoctorsthoughtthesharkmighthavebittenmetwice”与下文中的“therewasasmallerbiteinsidethebigbite”构成因果关系,故用because。17.A根据语境及下文中的“Ionlyhadtomissthefirstthreedaysofschool”可知,值得“庆幸(Luckily)”的是“我”只耽误了学校三天的课
34、程。18.D根据作者的所作所为以及文中的“WhenIgotthere,allthegirls.topushmeinmywheelchair.”可知,“我”英勇救人的行为让同学们很感动,所以当“我”回到学校后,所有的女孩都“想(wanted)”推“我”的轮椅。19.D根据文中的Somehow,thisexperiencemademe.itmore.Isay,“Backoff,sharks!”可知,被鲨鱼咬伤这件事并没有“改变(changed)”“我”对沙滩的热爱。20.A被鲨鱼咬伤事件不但没改变“我”对沙滩的热爱,反而让“我”更“爱(love)”它。三、第一句:bad前加a第二句:which that;immediate immediately第三句:on with第四句:calls called第五句:falling fall第六句:are is第八句:去掉were;warm-heart warm-hearted第九句:us ourselves
